[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...]

Eventually, the little pixels seem to spot something shiny down on the ground, and make a beeline for the lower altitudes. The glowing source seems to be somewhere in Prima's quadrent; will Ven choose to follow?]
[Action]
Huh?
[He hangs back on his glider for a moment, then shifts to make a dive down after the trail of lights. Where are they going?]
[Action]
Past the hills are a ring of stones, carved and smoothed and covered with Cybertronian glyphs; but those are not the real attention-getters. Within the center of the ring of stones, there are a number of white, glowing crystals that the pixels settle on eagerly. What makes these crystals unique, is the fact that they seem to be floating.
The smallest, most plentiful ones float in place a few yards off the ground, seemingly not tethered, and some could be collected easily if he so chose. But the largest are as big as school buses and are encircled with golden bands that link to the ground with matching chains. They all hum faintly, and the aura is rather soothing.
Despite that, it seems clear that no one has been here for some time.]
[Action]
...whoa...
[He murmurs as he hovers near the floating crystals, and indeed he does reach out towards one of the smaller pieces that float nearby, wondering if it would still float or if his touch would disrupt it. His eyes wander towards the pixels that have landed upon the strange crystals, prompting a smile.]
I wonder what these were for...
...you know...it kind of reminds me of back home...
[Not that he expects the pixels to really say anything back of course, but he wistfully speaks all the same as he looks back towards the larger crystalline chunks that float like massive balloons. The Land of Departure had floating rock formations scattered all around, though they weren't quite like this.]
