 [Hey guys, sick of this little ankle-biter, yet? Hope not, because he's got a little broadcast for you, and boy is it important, at least to him.  The feed clicks on to show him fiddling with his camera, his hands outstretched when he realizes he's on the air.]

So! This glyph of mine got a bit brighter recently. Domey's too. It took a bit of scanning through the Link's archives, but I found out that our alignments to the FirstForged can get stronger and weaker, apparently! Yeah, yeah, I bet you're saying 'old news'.

But wait! Don't hang up just yet, there's a point to this, really.

What if there was a way to...keep records of this? You know, to see how actions influence events, and the consequences from them! How do you do that? Well....

[His camera turns on, and he tilts the Link towards the wall, where an image is projected onto it:]



What'd I tell ya? Good idea, or good idea?

So what do you have to do? Tell me what your glyph looks like. Colours, brightness, anything at all! I can figure it from there.

[thxforthememories]

You would... do this? For all of us?

[Oh, Kagerou! He's wondered where you holed off to.]

Hey, bud. And yeah, I'm a walking database, aren't I?

Better get to databasing, as they say.

[Under a blanket with Stumpy the Acolyte for about a week.]

Yes, I suppose...

But won't it take up too much memory?

[eternallove]

That's really neat Mister and really kind of you to want to do this for everyone. But I feel really bad that you're doing this on your own, is there any way we can help you with this so you don't have to do it all alone?

[flashdrive]

[Well aren't you just the cutest thing to walk on two legs.]

You'd be interested? I could use some help gathering info.

[eternallove]

[She isn't even trying yet.]

I'd be happy to help in anyway I can. Just tell me what you want me to do Mister!

[It doesn't take long for Jetfire's thoughtful look to turn into an interested smile as he realises what Rewind has plotted out - or has the beginnings for to plot out.]

An excellent way to gather the data to be able to find the patterns, if there are any. I've wondered about the possibility of finding said possible patterns myself since that interests me, but given it's all rather personal, finding a way to get said data...

[He shrugs.]

And even relying on a smaller, voluntary given set of information would be useful. My glyph started out maxic, which it still is, but has recently gained a violet glow around the outline... So Solus Prime, I believe.

[flashdrive]

Well, it can't be that personal, if it's displayed on our shoulders, right? I mean, they're pretty much glorified decals. Just takes a little scouting out and leg-work.

[But at the information, his visor seems to gleam, glad for the input.]

Green with a violet glow...Interesting! We'll set marks like a grid, and see where the areas of influence lead us.

[Video]

[angleofscience]

[He chuckles, a bit dryly and then nods.]

Point. I am merely more used to extrapolating patterns from data taken more widely, or available by other means than inquiring personally, so it wasn't something I thought of.

[And to be honest, he would probably not be as smooth at it as Rewind was.]

One for each of us, overlaying them if necessary to see if there's correlations? Hm, I'd try to give you some point at which the violet appeared, but while it was relatively recently, I can't pick out any particular trigger that seems to have done it.

[He frowns slightly thoughtfully.]

It might be cumulative outside of specific events that concern the particular Firstforged, of course, since I have helped Solus Prime at least once at an earlier point.

[dinnerdate]

Doesn't sound like that great of an idea...

[Sounds like a trap.]

[flashdrive]

Yeah? Why wouldn't it be? It's not like we can't see your glyph anyway.

[Oh Deads.]

[raceme]

I thought I was the only one who kept a record of his glyph. It's been _{worrying me} since time I arrived here.

[Okay, and now time to answer Rewind's request. Blurr tries to talk slower than usually but it's still a pretty fast explanation.]

I got my glyph the day I woke up here, like everyone else, that was the 21 of June11 months 24 days, ^{or 51 weeks rounded} down if you prefer it that way. _{My glyph was} gold at the time as I am connected to Vector Prime, 3 months later the gold of the Glyph got more vivid. By the time we hit December the Glyph itself had grown in size by about a third and I started to notice some odd things, I never get lost and I always seem to know exactly the distance between two points Strange but very very useful for me. On MAY the gold on the glyph was solid but there was a strong violet outline around it, I never talked to Solus all that much so I'm not sure what is going on.

[Blurr has yet to notice the ability he got after that change so he can't explain that to rewind.]......and early this month a gold glow appeared around the Glyph but the outline of violet around it is even more strong.

[flashdrive]

[Thankfully, there's the magic of recordings! Rewind tapes the whole thing, to slow down and decipher it at his own speed as Blurr speaks. Much easier this way.

And boy, is it thorough.]

You know, I'm impressed that you kept a diary of this. Not that it isn't helpful, but makes me wonder about your hobbies. ...If any.

Noted, though! I'll use it as an example for what I'm looking for when I ask others, if that's okay!

[invisiblepinkboat]

Oh, interesting. Never thought of this... [She tilts her helm, considering the image.] But I can see how you're intending it to work.

Solus Prime and Megatronus Prime. If I have the event and time right, I believe the black outline appeared some time after we took care of the creature that was in control of a bunch of huge mechanoid centipedes. Megatronus Prime was in charge of that expedition.

[flashdrive]

Great! I was worried it'd be a bit confusing, and that only I'd get it since this is...you know, my hobby of sorts.

Solus Prime and Megatronus. Interesting combo, I've got to say.

The centipedes, I remember reading about that. Megatronus took a group in to deal with them?

[deadlydoctor]

You are a tiny bit obsessed with information, are you? [Get it'? Because you are small. HAR HAR...Knock Out so witty.]

[flashdrive]

Well, it's my j--Heeeey~ Now I'm thinking that's a short joke.

[rednotbluethx]

Ya'll geeks have no life.

Spoken like a bot with no career options!

[sword_redemption]

Can't you just, well...look? I mean, they're on our armor.

[video]

[flashdrive]

Drift, what do I look like?

[Bro does he look like he has the leg power to trek to all temples]

[Action]

[needlefingers]

I guess I should offer to help.

Like a good partner.

[Action]

[flashdrive]

It'd help, but I don't wanna bog your schedule down, Domey.

I can handle it myself if you've got other plans.

[LIKE INJECTING-i mean]

[notyourblueangel]

I bear Alpha Trion's Glyph. The color's gotten brighter over time.


. . . recently, it's developed a black outline.

[Nope, does not have a happy over that.]

[Video]

[flashdrive]

Alpha Trion seems to be a popular one.

And Megatronus as your outline. Got it. What'd you do to win his favour?
