re_alignment | [Broadcast--outside of a cave at bleak sunset][actionspam welcome]

[It has been a lunar cycle since he found himself mysteriously resurrected for the second? third? time, and Megatron has spent most of it feeling odd. He refused to take residence in any of the Firstforged's temples, and had returned to his cave in the mountain where the base of his trans-dimensional space bridge had been built...]

[...and then he hadn't known what to do. Every time he'd attempted to return to his universe he'd been shunted onto a different path. Should he try it again, to go home and resume his war? Or was it time for something new?]

Fear.

[He starts, looking off towards the setting sun.]

Fear is something I have heard much about. Fear of the Badlands. Fear of loosing one's friends, lovers, allies, and close connections. Fear of each other. Fear of the Firstforged.

I propose it is time to do something about that fear.

[He wasn't giving up on his space-bridge. Not yet. For now, however, he was going to focus his power on a different task.]

I have decided to embark upon a quest. From what I have been told, the Firstforged have been far from forthcoming on information about this world, about their adversaries, and about our place within it.

I cannot tolerate being left ignorant. Anyone who has information about the badlands, the Firstforged, or their own, personal fears...

[He laughs.]

You are welcome to join me. I'll be leaving to fight my way as close to the badlands as I can get in three days.

I'll share what I learn with those who do the same.

[Megatron closes with coordinates to his cave--an invitation to come speak with him in private before he goes.]

[LOCKED TO DECEPTICONS]

I don't care what your previous universe is. If you bore the mark or went through the ceremony, I want to hear from you. Now. Tell me who your Firstforged is.

[LOCKED TO TARN]

I have a proposal.

[LOCKED TO VEN]

Are you free tomorrow?

"Fear" of something you know will kill you or otherwise... do something seems rather healthy if you ask me. Anyone who's gone in there has either not returned, come back with no memory of the trip and worse for wear, or, recently, has come back much later than they got in.

[Elita's optics narrow a little and she tilts her helm.]

So much so we have some people here right now that are from the grouo of refugees before us and they don't remember the passing of the time.

And as far as we know, we do know what's ultimately responsible for the Badlands.

We know what we've been told.

I don't trust that information...do you?

We also went into an offshoot to get rid of an attack on Haven, and it wasn't pleasant. In addition, there was that mech during the mess of the Glyphless, and he seemed perfectly at ease with the Badlands and what it meant.

He professed to be a Herald of Unicron.

[She tilts her helm.]

I don't see any reason to not trust that information, given what's happened so far. I've seen Unicron... [A shrug.]

[He doesn't know why it matters, but it's not as if he isn't going to respond. It just... takes a while. Because he literally forgets (or ignores) it a few times while flying, since he wasn't right there with Megatron.]

Megatronus. [Skywarp's optics flick downwards and he snorts. That just seems so... silly. And convenient.]

I'm starting to notice a pattern.

I'm also starting to hate hearing that name.

[Why were all his cons with Megatronus?]

Hah! Charming! An expedition to rid us all of stupidity!

At least this wretched pit will be quieter for the absence of anyone foolish to go trundling off into that mess. Enjoy your madness!

Your opinion has been noted, and is of no consequence.

[Have a while robotic jaguar waving and grinning. You may notice the red Decepticon symbol on his shoulder.]

I'm with Nexus Prime!

Who are you, btw???

['Cause you kinda look like his Megatron with red face paint.]

Glit?

[The color says yes, the personality.....it says the opposite of yes. Very loudly.]

I am Megatron.

[Shockwave doesn't give him any forewarning before giving Megatron a little visit. A few minutes after the coordinates pinged out, a space bridge portal opens up, bright and writhing, and it's creator soon steps out to meet him.]

[Now, this Megatron may not be his own, but they'd interacted in the past. Enough to pique the scientist's curiosity.]

[The portal closes behind him. Why hello there.]

[Oh, hello.]

[Megatron is going to stare for a moment--though given your sudden appearance you may notice that the way his arm is crooked does end up pointing the canon right at you. It's habit.]

How long have you been able to space bridge?

[But the gun does turn away, as there are more pressing matters at hand.]

(no subject)

I can't quite understand the reason you're asking, or why you're asking m--- [Wait. Staring for a moment, optics widening, Jetfire slowly shook his helm. He'd been so startled by the locked message and by who it was that was asking that he'd replied purely by rote.]

Err... [Awkward.]

Jetfire? Why are you--

...[Wat.]

Why are you on this channel?

..Are you certain that's wise, Megatron?

If I don't do it, who will?

[A rare audio-only post from Wing. And there's something in the quality of his voice that seems...unusual. Not quite right. Certainly not his chipper self.]

[However, it is no less certain.]

_{The Calling will take you before you can find enough monsters to fight.}

...

Wing.

You sound possessed.

[This is certainly not usual.]

You should be well aware.

I believe I have some inkling.

Care to go on an adventure with me? We can take Driller for a walk.

You know my Firstforged already.

[Knock Out's reply is polite but cut. He's obviously not all that happy about the idea of answering to anybody, much less a Megatron that's not even his own.]

Then I appreciate your contact...and I have a very different question in mind for you.

Why did you serve your Megatron?

[Blurr wasn't going to say anything. After what happened between Chromedome and Tarn and how everyone was reacting in one way or another he thinks that people needs time to express their worry and anger; and that's probably better to let Megatron do his thing. At least for now and as long as no one is forced into it.

However, Thundercracker voiced his concerns and that made Blurr worried as well. he's trying to talk slower than usual, he does that when he wants people to take him seriously.]

There will always be fear, I'm afraid, one way or the other. It's not always a bad thing, it motives people to take action as you are doing now. [He's not going to try to make the mech change his mind. If the Calling takes him and he dies, then perhaps that was lesson that needed to be learned.] Be careful of what you wish for, though.

I would like to speak to you before you leave. In person if possible.

I'd rather act than wait.

I can come to the Hub if you would like, however.

[He appreciates it, Blurr.]

Who cares about fear?
Boredom is a much worse fate.
I will be ready.

My enemies.

[That is who.]

But if you're looking for something to do, I can guarantee that this will be entertaining.
