[Video - Evening] Lights amongst the dark
[The camera clicks on, and two very different Primes appear. Solus Prime is kneeling down, examining what appears to be a large, metal container as she speaks with Liege, who watches on. A moment goes by before she gives the comm, held in unmoving acolyte hands, a glance.]
-Prima's Touch was a clever addition. It will be interesting to see if his boon will help them survive the wilds more readily- Ah, very good.
[She stands, dusting off her hands with the faintest of pleased smirks.]
In the interests of continuing our work, we have elected to make this next experimental addition for improving Cybertron a bit more...visible.
[She turns a bit somber, optics softening.]
It also happens that it has been an entire solar cycle since you all have started arriving here once more. Roughly. Perhaps that is not a cause for celebration for many of you, but it is still a significant occasion to be honored.
[She gestures to her brother, who rises the lid so she can reach into the container and pulls out...what seems to be a handful of light. In actuality, it is what appears to be little glowing robobugs. They skitter across her plating, varied in design quirks but largely resembling a cross between rotor-laden dragonflies and moths with delicate metallic wiring.]
[Liege reaches out, picking one up in-between his claws and examining it closely--it might be obvious to all who were present for it that these definitely have a relationship to Jetfire's glowbugs.]
It would be best if you left them alone to do their job. They are perfectly harmless. However, they are designed to seek out raw resources and other sources of energy, so following their glow could be quite...lucrative. Consider it something of a treasure hunt, if you will.
Among a plethora of other functions. They should also be able to give us more information about the boundaries and composition of the badlands, once they depart the Haven. Until then...perhaps some enjoyment can be found in their display.
[Solus shrugs faintly, before lifting the lid holding back the swarm and vanishes in the midst of the glowing rush of tiny wings.]
...
[For those not watching the communicators or happen to be outside...from the top of Prima's glowing tower, a different sort of light slowly emerges, and seems to balloon out. The cloud gets larger and larger, like glowing smoke, before breaking up and fanning out in all directions and lighting up the sky.
For the next week, the swarm of Pixels will flock around the Haven, highlighting various, previously unknown energon pools, crystals, and even some nice finds in the junkyard. Solus Prime will be releasing a new batch each night, adding to the swarm until they eventually depart, en mass, for parts unknown.]
[Note: Those who reply to this message with an in-character action of following the pixels will be rewarded with a small item! Be creative in specifying where and how, and see what treasure awaits...]

action;
A few others hover nearby, attracted by the glow of the captured pixel, while others continue to drift on by, forming a bright line in the sky that seems to heading off in purposeful direction.
Perceptor is free to follow the trail... Or to remain.]
action;
[Oh yes, he recalls these things. He holds it up, examining it, before absently tossing it over one huge shoulder...]
[... only then to notice the big trail in the sky out one of the lab "windows". They're more portholes, really.]
What on...?
[Wellp. Curiosity is inherent in all scientists... He follows!]
action;
Should Perceptor follow them all of the way to their destination, he will find them gathering on a rocky cliff face that glitters with both pixel light, and the shine reflecting off gleaming red stones. They seem to emit a strong energy, which is undoubtedly what attracted the creatures in the first place...]
action;
[So of course, the tank goes trundling off. He mutters to himself on the way, crankily. How dare something interrupt his work? Just when he was about to make a breakthrough, too!]
[It takes a while to get there, given the fact he's a tank, and tanks aren't the quickest vehicles ever. He transforms, scanning the cliff face idly until...]
What on Cybertron...?
[Can he even get up there?]
action; Forgive the link failure!
