[VIDEO | Vector Prime's temple]

[What a surprise: Sentinel’s angry. The acolytes are pottering around in the background of the video, having been shouted at and told to frag off. Clearly, any information they had to offer had fallen on, ah, deaf audios.]

Ugh, is there anyone around here who isn’t a useless maintenance drone? These things are swarming all over the place and I haven’t been able to get a straight answer out of any of them!

I’m a Prime; we’re supposed to get better treatment than this!

[He scowls into the camera.]

Anyway, any Autobots in the immediate vicinity report directly to me. I want to know what’s going on and, uh, where I am.

[This is about as polite as you’re going to get from him.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Still. Being overly cautious is better than letting my guard down and getting torn to pieces. [Ever the charmer, Sentinel.]

Someone - I forget who - told me that this place is mostly unexplored. I'd rather stay where there's a population, though.

[Last time he went exploring in an unregulated area didn't end so well. Can't really say he's the adventurous type either.]

Definitely. And most of Cybertron is unexplored, yes. Not that... There's much to be explored at present. But the structures built by the previous Refugees are partly unexplored, since they're so spread out.

[She taps her chin in thought, optics narrowing a little.]

But as long as you stay inside the circle the temples make, it's usually fine, even if you're exploring.

I'll just ... stay here, then. I heard what the Badlands can do to a bot and eugh. No thanks.

[Not that there's much to do at the temple, but hey - there were some interesting cracks he could try staring at for a few hours!]

As long as you don't venture outside the Haven, the Badlands shouldn't affect you.

[Then she tilts her helm, because credit where credit's due, so to speak]

Well, outside of the unpredictable flares that has happened once or twice, but usually you had to have been close to the Badlands prior to those to have the full effect of its calling.

Besides, if you ever want to wash off, you're going to have to leave Vector Prime's temple, as the only washracks around here are in Solus Prime, Nexus Prime or Liege Maximo's quadrants.

Trust me, Elita, I won't be going anywhere near them.

[Saying her name feels so weird.]

Only there? Great. The one thing I was thinking of doing and I have to put myself in danger for it.

[He's a clean freak, and hates the prospect that he has to travel for it. Not through laziness, more paranoia - even if it doesn't require leaving the Haven.]

Good. We've had enough people who think it's a good idea to go wandering in that direction.

[Her smile is brief, but genuine; really, there were other directions you could explore in than the one towards the Badlands, not to talk about the Megatron who thought he'd get some answers by intentionally heading in there.]

If you want an escort, I'm sure someone would volunteer. And no one else has attempted to build any... it's not something I think any of us have the knowledge how, yet.

[Though learning might be practical, but how to go about that...]

Ugh. Morons.

[He hasn't really considered that. The silly bot thinks he's surrounded by danger and will need a LOT of convincing to leave the Haven.]

Uh. [Escort? To the washroom? God, how embarrassing. Would probably rather get dismembered than do that.]

I-I'm fine.

At the least a bit foolish or foolishly thinking any answers will be found out there easily enough they won't succumb before they get them.

[She isn't really bothered by the insult being tossed around; she is, after all, used to Grimlock.]

All right. The offer stands, though. [She can't quite not grin, though. The Haven is quite safe enough you do not need an escort to go have a shower, really!]

[Oh my god he's so embarrassed. If robots could blush, his face would be BRIGHT RED right now.]

So uh ... what's there to do around here? Is there a library?

[Not much of a bookworm, but learning about the place can't be a bad idea. Plus taking a small pile of datapads up to his room would be an excuse not to go out.]

[She'll just pretend she doesn't notice any sign of embarrassment, all right?]

I believe there is, yes. In Alpha Trion's temple... Which would be almost opposite from your current location, and on the opposite side of the Junk Pile. [Have some more coordinates.]

The Firstforged are pretty disaparate in what they do and what they have, and if there's been any previous refugee who's made any sort of library, it's not been found yet.

[Again with leaving the temple! Maybe if he goes at like four in the morning no one will be around.]

Hn. It's something to do until I find something more concrete to do around here.

Really? Gods that are weird and secretive? [His tone is dripping with sarcasm and frustration. Why can't everything just be laid out and easy?]

Edited 2013-06-28 16:59 (UTC)

[Sorry, Sentinel, you really are going to have to leave the temple at some point.]

The library might be worth a check on its own, but I haven't thought about it--- Gods, though? [Shaking her helm, Elita grins.] While they're magnitudes more powerful than any of us so I suppose it doesn't practically matter, I don't think they're actual gods... That would probably only be Primus and Unicron, since they come from Primus.

[Of course. He's not really someone who enjoys being cooped up inside all the time anyway.]

Gods, not gods. Don't care, all that matters is they know stuff we don't.

True. [It doesn't bother her overly much, since what they know doesn't seem to have anything to do with how to send any one of them home, or when Unicron would arrive... Anything else could probably be found out in time.]

We know they don't know how to help us get home, or how to close the anomaly we come through, and we know what's making the anomaly... and since the Badlands is connected to the Lambda, whether the Lambda itself or something tied to it is creating the Badlands, it's all tied to that cause.

[She counts the things off quickly, summing up what they do know - this is part of her job, after all.]

Which is Unicron.

[There's that name agaaaaain.]

Ugh, this is getting confusing. I think I'm gonna have to start taking notes.

[Sarcasm pouring from his words again! Although part of him is serious, as he'd like to learn as much as possible about the planet. He finds it very uncomfortable to be on a Cybertron he doesn't know better than the back of his servo.]

[LEARN TO LOVE IT! Except not, Unicron isn't very lovable.]

... Right, that's a bit much right after arriving, isn't it? Sorry. [The apology comes with a smile and a shake of her helm. She got a bit lost in offering up what she does know so far.]

It gets easier after a while.

Ha. I can take it; I'm not stupid.

I wouldn't think so, no. [Elita chuckles, flexing her hull-wings slightly.]

I believe that was the most important points, though.

[And some more that could probably have waited until later.]

Great. Now I just have to figure out what I want to do on this planet.

[Sigh.]I wanna go hoooome

Good luck... I can't say I've figured it out myself. [She doesn't feel like dwelling on it, but it's hard not to have a trickle of frustration bleed through.]

Hopefully someone will be able to figure it out and let us do that.

[She looks away then, though, since well... it's been around a year, give or take, that she's been here already.]

I'll get there eventually. Just as long as I don't end up in a janitorial position. [Shudder.]

I don't think there's any danger of that, really. [At least his comment made her able to shake off the somber mood with a slight smile.] The only place that'd require that as of yet, I think, would be the Hub anyway, and besides those who've taken responsibility for it, if it was needed more would probably volunteer to help clean up.

Yeah, I think I'm just gonna ... have a look around and see what's available after I've found a place to stay.

[Lower himself to that? Ew. EW.]

If nothing else, there'll be time to explore other avenues, which I've been considering doing.

[She shrugs.]

Good luck. At least there's a lot of rooms to choose from, the temples are large, and our population isn't large enough to put a significant dent in the available space even if we were collected in a single temple.

[Which sometimes makes the spread a bit silly, but.]

I have enough applicable skills to find something quickly.

[He shifts slightly.] Mm. I probably should've found a room right after I woke up instead of staying in this one.
