[The camera shows Wing's quarters, a breeze lightly rustling a curtain behind the two mechs. Drift's standing, almost pacing, as though he's been talked into this and is still not very comfortable.]
[He hesitates, trying to gather the right words. It's so much easier when he's writing it for someone else.]
A lot--more mechs than we even know--died here, or went missing. Everyone deserves to be remembered, whether we have their bodies or not. They were all like us, and we, any of us, could disappear or....worse, ourselves.
[Ghosts, zombies, the unknown fate of the badlands: so many options, all of them terrible. Wing doesn’t like any of those notions, but this idea is heartening. He rises from his seat near the window.]
If there’s one thing recent events have taught us, it’s that memories have a power of their own. We need a way, not just to mourn, but to remember those no longer with us, both past and future. To honor them. And maybe keep hope alive for the lost.
We were thinking of a place, not like a cemetery, but some place that recalls them as they were. This is for all of us, not just Cybertronians, so we were kind of wondering. How do you celebrate the memories of those you've lost in your worlds?

That's wonderful! I think we should definitely do this. It's far more sustainable than anything else and...I think it'd be gorgeous.
[This is kind of a weird thing to be excited over but he is.]
Even in their natural shapes it'd be beautiful, but we might find someone with a talent for carving as we go along.
[He's not going to let that little detail set back the project though, NOPE.]
I would appreciate that. I think it'd be lovely to see your handiwork here; enthusiasm rarely makes up for experience. [He smiles, his optics keen and warm.] Thank you for this.

I'm no artist, Wing. Merely a scientist who knows the knack of what raw materials will produce what crystalline matrices. But you are welcome. I am pleased to be able to provide some assistance.
