[Video] - far above the Haven, with a bit of static
[The video feed, laced with static here and there but otherwise viable, shows Jetfire from bottom half and down, his arm angled to focus on what seems to be a little drone plane insistently burning at full throttle a few feet beneath thrusters.
Though, for some reason, unless he's keeping precise time with it (which, in fact, he's not, keeping himself hovering) it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Far, far below both Jetfire and drone, the curve of Cybertron can be seen.]
I was in need of some... er, distraction and can safely say that attempting to leave Cybertron's near orbit at present, without some sort of modification, won't result in any greater harm than frustration.
[Jetfire starts to drift, so hopefully no one watching easily gets vertigo as he makes a circle above the insistently flying drone.]
I did, of course, attempt some preliminary tests before I was given the modifications, but as there was no way to know if pushing too far would result in a negative backlash of some sort, I didn't think it prudent to try to use too much power in attempting to get past the... er, field that currently seems to surround Cybertron.
[He might sound a bit more clipped than he usually does, and, out of view of the down-tilted feed, Jetfire's frowning because by now he's sort of... on edge due to Things. Hence, distraction.
Underneath his feet, the drone plane's engine nozzles sputter, cough and then die as it runs out of fuel, and the feed tilts, aiming back up to show Jetfire's upper half and wearing his outer helmet as he dives down to catch it, the static in the feed as he nears Haven smoothing out.]
Also, ah... Sari, Kagerou? I have something for each of you.
[You would think he's not flying straight down at speed to catch his drone plane, by his unruffled tone.]

[Mind reading is not something that sits well with Blurr either, specially after what happened between SG Soundwave and him. This time, he's the only looking uncomfortable.
Staggering slightly in mid air, he stops when Jetfire gestures for him to do so.] You would be surprised about how War can make ethic seem a relative thing. [Blurr murmurs, looking somber, before flying up a few meters.]
Should I keep going up until I hit the barrier?
no subject
[Jetfire nods, optics dimming slightly. He's thought about it yes, but he doesn't feel it... safe to approach Liege with such a request. Insulting him or no, the whole thing might look like a request for a favour, and he probably don't want to owe Liege Maximo favours.]
I'm not... surprised, really, since that was partly why I left the Decepticons. [He pauses, glancing down at Blurr and then up again.] It is rather surprising there seem to be suggestions of similarly... ah, inadvisable behaviour from Autobots in other realities.
[Doing what's necessary for war or not, there's still things they haven't done and wouldn't do.]
And yes, that's it. I know where it is, so it'll be obvious if you can just pass through it, and if not, we'll see how your... er, aprticular form of flight pushes the barrier.
no subject
It shouldn't be that way. We should be better than that. [Blur clenches his hands into fist but says no more.]
[Blurr nodded and then looked at the sky for a few seconds before speeding up. Speed is something he's used to, more than flying, and he doesn't seem to have a trouble doing what it looks like running on air rather than flying. The real problem comes when he gets to the barrier.
This is the moment when the irresistible force paradox makes its appearance, ladies and gentlemen. What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? Nothing good. Specially not for Blurr, since he's not so unstoppable. The blue mech hits the force field with considerable speed, feeling like he just crashed against a wall before being pushed backwards.
Be a good friend and catch him before he falls to the ground, Jetfire, Blurr's a bit dizzy at the moment.]
no subject
[He falls quiet, then, to keep an optic on what Blurr is doing and apparently going much too fast against the barrier, instead of just pushing against you and keeping you in place, results in... well.
That.
His engine cycles up with a roar and he dives, flying past Blurr before he straightens up and catches the much smaller mech in his arms.]
... Are you all right?
no subject
Hhhhhnnnng.... [He will thank Jetfire for the catch in a moment, as soon as everything stops spinning.]
no subject
[He says it with a straight face, even and evens out his flight, ending up simply hovering in the air.]
no subject
ImfineImfinereallyIjustneedto...eh....[Blurr looks down, noticing how high they still are.] Hhn...oh.
[Flying all the way down all by himself seems not an easy task. He got dizzy again just looking down.]
no subject
I can take us down, if you want.
[It's not surprising to Jetfire if Blurr suddenly got struck with a bit of vertigo and fear of heights; he just fell a good distance, and he's not actually a flyer, even if he now can fly.]
no subject
[He does need a bit of time. Blurr is so used to fall from high places is not even funny, it makes him wary at times.]
no subject
[As annoying as that is. Jetfire sease out a static sigh and then redirects his flight systems from keeping them hovering to descending - controlled, thrusters first, instead of his more usual helm-first (or nosecone first, if he's in altmode) descent.]
no subject
no subject
Don't worry about it. I suspected this would be the result... [A lopsided, dry smile briefly crosses his faceplates.] Well, not you somehow managing to hit the resistance, but you being unable to cross it.
I simply don't wish to leave things to chance and supposition.
no subject
Perhaps not the whole barrier is so strong, we could try this again further away from the Haven. The planet is giant after all. [Blurr rubs a hand over his forehead. he's glad he didn't break the spike on his head.] I would have been impressed if you managed to predict that part. A little angry that you didn't warm me too. [He smiles up at Jetfire.]
I noticed. I want facts over conjectures too.
no subject
[Jetfire glances upwards, at the white-on-black bleed of the Lambda and the colours on its edges.]
It's unfortunately large enough it probably affects the greater part of the solar system in some way, but that doesn't mean an attempt of crossing the... er, resistance elsewhere would be without worth.
no subject
What really worries is if were and when we could end if we cross it.
no subject
We simply end up in space, Blurr. Right beyond the barrier. I've crossed it a number of times since I got the upgrades from Liege. [Shrugging, Jetfire tilts his helm to nod up at the Lambda above them and then looks back down.]
Merely crossing the barrier don't leave you open to being... er, affected by the Lambda, though going too close to it certainly might.
no subject
[Blurr looks down, feeling (thankfully) less dizzy. His processor is still killing him but he thinks he will at least be able to walk straight now.]
no subject
[Jetfire smiles, and concentrates on the last bit down, settling down on a balcony in Vector Prime's temple.]
You well enough to walk by your own?
no subject
[*Cough* That's rather sweet of you, Jetfire. Blurr nodded and smiled up at him.]
Yes, it won't have any problem getting to my room from here, thanks. We will try it again another day, ok?
no subject
Good. [Chuckling, Jetfire put Blurr down on the ground.] And next time, you'll probably remember to take it a little... ah, slower, maybe?
[It's amusing mostly because 'Blurr' and 'slowly' is not very synomymous.]
no subject
Going slow is actually something hard for me to do BUT I THINK in this case it would be for the best. See you around then?
no subject
[Jetfire dips his helm in a nod and leans back against the balcony's railing, clearly intent on waiting there until Blurr is inside.]
