re_alignment | [Accidental Video] A not-so-secret-meeting

[She'd done all she could for the moment. With everyone going after Tarn, she'd joined the ranks of the medical staff. But seeing as she had no idea of anything beyond band-aids and generic first aid, she was quick to be sent home. A girl like her would only get in the way. Which...as difficult as it was to admit, they were right to make that call.

Still, that didn't solve the fact that Kay felt kind of useless right now.

The feed clicks on to show hers/Kagerou's room, showing her and three others in the room. One was her crow, Skydave, who seemed to be full grown now and lazily trying to catch some shut-eye. His owner was stupid and hyperactive. That was enough to tire anyone out. The second was a giant robotic crab--about the size of a large Great Dane--courtesy of Jetfire and Starscream. That was the newest one to the posse it seemed. And finally was Kagerou's acolyte, lovingly named Stumpy. They seemed to be sitting like an audience as Kay was in front of them, twirling a metal...handle of something. Like a baton.]

Ugh...there's got to be something I can do. I'm a Great Thief, guys! This is my moment to SHINE!

[There's no reaction other than the soft whirring from the crab.]

Iron Crab, don't channel Mr. Edgeworth on me. I've been here over a year! It's time I take action. Mr. Trion's counting on me, you know.

[At that, the crow ruffles his feathers, giving a soft kaw.]

See? Skydave knows what I'm talking about. I've just got to--to prove it somehow! Miss Elita gave me this...

[She flips the switch, to show an energy axe appearing. K-Kay that's a weapon.]

And I'm not gonna let her, Kagerou, or anyone else down again. And you guys are gonna help me.

[And yet everyone can hear you.]

Well...sorta.

[Human bonding time!]

See, here most of the robots do all the tough work like going out and fighting. But it stinks that we're brought here but we can't bring anything to the table on that front, you know?

...don't worry about that. I'm tougher than I look.

Well, they are all bigger and stronger. Not only that, most of them have been involved in a war that's lasted millions of years. At the same time though, I can understand what you mean.

[Cody being useful during missions is only a recent thing.]

Hmm... you are smaller than all those Cybertronians, you could probably do missions where others can't...

It's still dangerous though.

So? We're an adaptive species, right? There's got to be something we can do to help.

I'm no doctor, either...

..

[A pause.]

Don't worry, danger's not something I'm foreign to.

I think you can help a lot by staying out of the way. Anyway, do you know basic first aid? If you're going to put yourself in danger, you should at least know that.

[He already kind of sensed that she's not going to change her mind here, so he might just roll with it.]

But I think I should introduce myself first! My name's Cody Burns, it's nice to meet you Kay.

There's a difference between 'staying out of the way' and 'doing nothing.' There's also a difference between doing something and doing something you can make a difference with.

[She sets the metal baton to the side, sliding into one of those beanbag chairs.]

I just can't mess it up, is all.

!! Nice to meet you too, by the way.

Hmmm...

[It's not like Cody doesn't have certain contacts of his own. Being the secretary of the police force means he sees all kinds of reports cross his desk. But how would that help Kay's problem?]

You say that you can handle yourself just fine? What did you mean by that?

It's...kind of hard to explain.

[Give her a minute.]

Our Glyphs. You know about what they do, right?

They're there to indicate which Firstforged we're aligned with.

[To demonstrate, Cody shows her his white glyph with a slight magenta line around it.]

That's the face value idea. But if you play your cards right, they can give you things. Like...

Powers.

[She gestures to hers, and how it's slightly bigger than what a normal glyph is.]

This huge magenta glyph means I'm really close with Mr. Trion. He gave me something that can make me understand almost any language! I can't...write it from scratch, but I can read it!

And the black line? Megatronus gave me that. Complete with a 'durability' kind of boost. I can take hits a lot easier.

Noble! That's pretty impressive!

[That changes things considerably.]

I'm sorry for doubting you.

No worries! They're kind of new to me too.

But hey, it's the end result that matters!

What are your glyphs?

I'm one of Prima's and I guess I've gotten Alpha Trion's attention too.

I wish I had a cool ability.

Give it time, padawan.

Soon you'll be just like me!

Well..except for the whole..Prima thing.

Ha, maybe I should do something to get the Firstforged's attention?

Anyway, I'm the secretary for the police force, so if I ever come across something that needs your skills, I'll let you know.

I'd say that's a pretty safe bet. Although, you could always call them. They're pretty good at picking up.

...

You got it! I'll help in any way I can!
