re_alignment | [Audio/Video] Totally not compensating for anything, nope.

Absolute glitchin' slag.

[There's more insults than those being muttered over the audio, but they're kept at a lower pitch, and the noises of metal or other items being thrown around obscures some of it.]

One of these days I'm actually gonna get to stay put an' where the slag--- [Either the speaker just stumbled over something, or yanked something out of a pile.] Finally! Ugh. Okay.

[And then have video and a red cybertronian with sensor horns leaning against... a very large cannon (or is he just that small?).]

Any of you find a large sniper rifle calibrated for someone my height before I do, I'd appreciate if you ask me if it's mine.

[Because that thing was made for him, so. And while sniper rifles aren't his favourite weapon, he's picked up the talent and he came here with it... as his found cannon can testify. Cliffjumper grunts and drags a hand down his faceplates.]

Got the basics, blah blah, besides that what is the situation? An' for the information, apparently even TransTech, who proclaimed themselves quite above the rest of us, can't make proper stellar span.... er, space bridges.

[He's not going to assume anyone he knows... from either two dimensions or Axiom Nexus is here. And the real kicker? He has the vaguest impression he sort of bounced briefly into the negative polarity universe before coming here, but he's not sure and that, along with his missing weapons, is just torqueing him off.]

So, where're ya staying? If I remember what the... Acolyte or whatever said, this place [he waves his hands around to indicate the room he's in, which is still the room with the altar that they wake up on] belongs to... uh... Vector Prime?

[He shrugs, not thinking too much on it. It's not a name he recognises, but he doesn't really have any problem with the idea of "the first cybertronians made by Primus" even if this isn't something that he's heard in his reality.]

Back's fraggin' non-negotiable. [Have another stern stare, since, even if he bumrushes nearly everything, all the time? He's a bit hot-headed, it's not exactly planned beyond "seemed like the best idea" and despite what people think... he does know he's not invicible.

He just sometimes chooses to ignore that. Or outright forgets it for the moment.]

Apparently I am in the temple of Prima.

[He pauses a moment to see if the name is familiar to Cliffjumper at all.]

I won't even consider trying to negotiate on the backup.

[He both wanted to placate his friend and confirm that he would behave himself the way others expressed they wanted him to.]

[He does get a reaction; Cliffjumper's optics widen, and the glow flares for a moment as he shakes his helm.]

Okay, that's... that's odd. I mean, sure, I already knew Primus exist an' in a bunch of realities or whatever, but I didn't think the first cybertronian we know of would be present... elsewhere... as well.

[He sounds vaguely stunned, because in a way that's stranger than the thought of Primus existing. That was easy to accept, because even kept in emergency stasis lock he'd felt the reverberation from the scream as Primus was awoken. Even if he hadn't known what it meant at that point, and felt something like shockwaves from the battle against Unicron even if that, too, hadn't made any sense until after he was repaired, woke up and had it all retold to him.

He frowns and shakes his helm, refocusing on what Megatron's saying.]

Good. Otherwise I think Starscream'd be really upset with us.

[He grins though, helm cocking jauntily as he speaks and letting him sort of bounce back from the surprise from earlier.]

Do you think there is a possibility that the First Forged here have held similar purposes in other universes?

[He isn't too concerned with this just yet, his own universe seemed to lack much in the way of Primus and anything directly tied to him.]

It would not do to give Starscream reason for further worry, or upset.

[He prefers when his Second in Command doesn't feel the need to watch him like a turbo hawk for him to do something he shouldn't, like going into a fight without back up.]

Maybe? This's... I dunno. Strange. Wouldn't surprise me if they do, but...

[Cliffjumper shrugs, because while it certainly is interesting, it's confusing and not exactly his area of... "expertise".]

Exactly. 'Cause ya know I'd have to say something if you didn't. [He grins sharply at Megatron and then shrugs.] Though considerin' Starscream, he'd probably have you confessing if you'd done something like that anyway.

I'm sure such information would be very remarkable if gathered, but that is hardly something to focus on here.

[It is something of passing interest to him, but nothing more severe then that at the moment.]

I find it hard to keep such information from Starscream. [He gives a small, fond smirk of his own, meant for both Cliffjumper and the thought of Starscream.] It would be fare too easy to excuse not passing on other, potentially important, information simply because I do not wish to deal with the repercussions of it.

Yeah, not really, I suppose.

[A brief, dismissive shrug. Hey, he was the mech who listened to a computer basically say all the Vector Sigma nodes through the universes are connected as a gestalt and didn't think further on it than that...]

He worries worse than the Ratchet from my original reality, so yeah... hard to keep anythin' from him.

[He grins and it's a good thing indeed that Megatron has Starscream... And while he doesn't find it odd to think that any more, it's still odd that he's had the chance to think it.]

... Was thinking. Gonna go find a room or whatever in here, the Prime I know from Axiom's here an' said we get rooms or something... But. After that... [Cliffjumper trails off a bit, frowning and looking away briefly before looking back.]

Could swing by for a bit?

[After he's seen to Soundwave as well, frag it all.]

It gives him less to worry about if we are at the least honest about what has happened.

[He nods at the question, a smile on his face.]

I would never turn down the company of a friend with out good reason, and I've hardly been here long enough to have built bad reasons, much less good ones.

[He just chuckles at that, nodding with a slight smirk hovering around his lips.]

I'll come by as soon as I've got things settled here, then.

[Cliffjumper pauses, hesitating, before he shrugs. He can totally admit this.]

... Even if neither of us should be here, it's... kinda nice to see people I actually know.

Sounds good to me.

[His smile brightens and deepens a bit at the sentiment.]

Thank you Cliffjumper, and I feel very much the same way.

[Cliffjumper huffs, looking away before turning back, grinning faintly.]

Yeah. Thanks. Right, see ya soon, then.

[Megatron just smiles.]

See you soon.
