[Video | Alpha Trion's Temple]

...Has anyone else been feeling..weird..since our glyphs started changing again?

[Smokescreen's in the library, Justice sitting patiently at his feet as the scout looks over some of the shelves, trying to find something that may be able to help him.

There's got to be a record of all this glyph business right?]

I don't really know how to explain it, but I've been feeling really off since it all happened. I wasn't sure if that was normal or not.

Yes. Oh.

[There's a pause. Perceptor makes a few helpless hand motions at the feed before changing it over to video.]

[Vague statements drive him up a wall, but. Well. Smokescreen's trying.]

Fine, then, look here. Tell me what happens.

[Oh hello there dad.]

When I get close to others, I can sense and associate the different universes with the others I've encountered. I mean, with most people it was easy to tell but now it's really easy for me and every little thing about them is apparent to me.

And when you look at myself? What do you... sense...?

[SUCH A SILLY NON-CONCRETE WORD AUGH.]

[He's quiet for a moment, just looking the other over.]

...Your universe was in the midst of war when you came here. More so than mine was. You're not worn out by war, not like others are.

[sciencetank]

... Hm. True enough. On both counts.

Anything else?

[He barely bites back saying he's likely said those things before. He's... trying, here.]

[shutupndrive]

I don't....I can't explain what else is going on through my head, dad.

[He's well aware of the fact that the other doesn't really get it/believe him.

But he doesn't know what else to say.]

What about in text format? A description that way?

[Okay, now he's just curious.]

[... because telling Perceptor someone "can't" know or understand something is like telling a rebellious teenager they can't do something.]

[He has to find out.]

Video --> Text

[shutupndrive]

I..can try, I guess.

[He switches the feed to text and for a moment there's nothing before he finds the words and starts to explain it.]

Your world is similar to mind, almost like they're linked someone. Like, we come from the same origins and our universes aren't that far off from one another. Your version of the Cybetronian culture is the precursor to ours; the one that I knew as I worked for Alpha Trion especially. I think he was there, in your world.

[Well that's... weird. But fascinating in a way. Jetfire would have a field day with information like that. It's not his type of science -- this historical-cultural connection -- he's more well-versed in the physical sciences.]

[... Though maybe it would explain some things.]

I see. I can't speak for an "alpha trion"... never met anyone under that designation until my arrival here.

But that is interesting.
