[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...]

[While it buzzes contentedly, he notices that another swarm of Pixels have made it to the temple. Bright light is shining from the areas where the majority of the bugs have convened, to the point where he has to raise an arm to shield his optics - although, being careful not to disturb the Pixel that had attached itself to him, which had now made its way towards his shoulder.]
[Regardless, he activates his battle mask to make use of the improved scanning apparatus built into it and gingerly starts towards one of the closer clusters of light.]
no subject
Should Sentinel investigate more closely, he will find a partially buried pink statue, somehow painstakingly carved out of an entire raw energon crystal the size of his arm. Sadly, it looks to be half finished, as one side is far less defined than the other. It seems to have been some past resident's attempt at idolizing one of the First Forged, but they must not have been very good at art. It doesn't seem to resemble any First Forged you've heard about or ever seen, at least...]
no subject
[He tries - with no avail - to kick away the majority of the gravel surrounding the statue; but its size means that despite several minutes of shuffling while the Pixels flit around him, the crystal is still completely buried.]
[An agitated sigh escapes him when he finally just gives up trying to skirt around getting it out the ground and kneels down to use his servos. Ordinarily, he'd just ignore something like this, but given what the Primes had claimed the Pixels were built for and how excited about this spot they were, he felt his usual apathy would not be the most prudent approach to the situation.]
[Great. A giant, heavy, half carved statue. Just what he wanted.]
