[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...]

[The pixel crawled along the rock briefly, exploring in circles before flitting over to land harmlessly on Rose's hand. If left alone, it will eventually crawl up onto her armor to sense the composition.

Meanwhile, swarms of other pixels fly along in glowing paths overhead, going in every direction. Will Rose investigate?]
originaldragoon: (Hm?  Curious/concern)

[A slight smile crosses her face as she lets the little mechanical bug crawl on her arm, letting it examine the leather of her armor. The creature seems harmless enough. She looks up and watches the others swarm in all direction.]

Looks like the First Forged have been busy. I wonder what these things are for...

[She is not far from Maximo's temple, and notices a cluster of the pixels near by. She goes towards them, wondering where they will lead her.]

[Leather is apparently unappealing to the pixel, because it eventually flies off to hover around Rose's head instead, before landing on a shoulder.

The leading group of pixels weave something of a wide circle around Liege's temple, heading off toward the back for a few minutes walk, before settling on the crumbling lee of an exposed hillside. Free from organic-type dirt, the uplifted hillside is made up instead of dark rock and slag-metal from deeper down inside the planet. In between the gravel and grit, it glimmers with many white specks of something that seems to be attracting the pixels.

Will Rose explore further?]
originaldragoon: (Wait what?)

[personal profile] originaldragoon 2013-07-07 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Curious, Rose approaches where the pixels have landed. Kneeling down, she brushes away some of the gravel to get a better look at what the white specks are.]

[Their find doesn't seem to be very interesting, at least at first. Just some finger-sized, lumpy crystals, kind of like clear quartz. But when more closely examined, the crystal feels unexpectedly dense, more like metal than quartz or rock, and seems very, very tough even without more scientific testing.

There are enough crystals exposed on the surface to amass a few arm-loads at least, should Rose choose to collect them.]
originaldragoon: (Hmmm  we'll see)

[personal profile] originaldragoon 2013-07-12 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rose is surprised by the weight and how dense the crystals feel as she picks one up. She tosses one up and down a bit, getting a better feel. Definitely not like any crystal she has seen, but may turn out to be useful.

[She reaches into her coin pouch which now holds her Link device, and quickly uses the device to access the map she made of Maximo's temple and marks the location of where the crystals are in relation to it. With that done, she puts the device away and start gathering some crystals. She may have to make a few trips.]
