[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...]

Of course~ I am late as well
Mostly.
Thanks to drone-curiosity, convenient ventilation systems, and simple chance, a single pixel eventually flits it's way inside. It drifts down to land on the tip of Starscream's wing, light blinking.]
Oh boy, he hopes these don't reproduce asexually
It's in the middle of his next sulky sentence, he trails off:]
--show all of them. Back on Cybertron there was no greater... [He freezes in place, eyes on the soft glow.]
And what do we have here?
[Gently he raises one hand to pluck the insect off his wing with the very tips of two claws.]
Now why don't you just stay with me, for a little while, bug?
[And from then on, all monologues are addressed to the itty bitty teeny weeny little glow nestled in the tiny space beside his spark. Thank Primus for company, little guy. You're the only thing keeping him sane in here. You're his new best friend. You and him are going to be together forever... until he gets out, sets you free, and you lead him to untold riches of course. BUT UNTIL THEN; it's just you and him against the world! He loves you so much, precious. He'll never let anyone have you... so precious.... precious...]
