Gathering

[This is a post. Within this post exist Prima, Liege, and A3. They exist here for the purposes of wrapping up previous conversations/plots or starting new ones. They will exist here for about a week, and all conversations that occur therin will be considered to have taken place PRIOR to the Pillar Event.

Alpha Trion can be found anywhere around his temple, or alternatively can sometimes be caught exploring the wastelands outside of the Haven. He's just as likely to get hold of you randomly one day while testing out the link device, however.

Prima can be found only in his tower. He's much more difficult to get hold of, but will surface for urgent matters and can be contacted through the Link...even if he'll be slow to reply.

Liege Maximo can be found in his many labs. He's been in a mood lately, but most would call it a 'good' mood, which means he's looking for people to interact with. Or on. If he's been in contact with you before he'll seek you out either in person or through an encrypted channel on your link device. Otherwise you will likely have to run into him.

To have a conversation with any of them, just specify WHO and WHERE or LINK in the title of your reply. Any action will be actionspam~]

You don't seem to be entirely convinced.

[There's that empathy already.]

This person you care about...have they been hurt by your use of mnemosurgery?

He has been hurt by my actions, and my actions happened because of my abilities.

[In other words, it was all Chromedome's fault.]

I'm better off without them, with all due respect.

And...has anyone in turn been helped by those same actions?

That's the only reason why I keep doing it.

But I need to stop. It's the best way.

Mmm...I wonder.

Not to pry, but I'm sensing that there must be a deeper issue here. A different conflict.

If you're doing this for someone else--regardless of whether they are close to you--then you've lost your own agency in the matter. No one ought to hold such a heavy sway over you...lest they take that burden for themselves.

Tell me, please, as I am trying to understand...

Could this person not trust you enough to let you keep so rare a talent?

[Actually, that description fits someone else entirely.]

...

What are you trying to get at here? Rewind has my best interest at spark.

[personal profile] maxicpolarity 2013-11-23 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I am sure that he does.

However, he may not have everyone else's best interests at spark. It is clear that he cares for you, and that you care for him...which may put him too close to the issue.

There might be others too close to the issue, as well. [Prowl.]

It sounds as if you may need someone utterly unbiased...

...or that perhaps the decision should be left to you, and only you.

May I ask how it is that your talents have hurt the mech that you care about?

[Clearly, Liege is unbiased and wishes to help.]

Tarn went after him, and I don't doubt it was because of my involvement with him.

[He's not sure if he believes you Liege.]

I don't care what either you or Prowl says, there's no way getting my needles back would be a good thing.

[Ah, Chromedome is clever. Liege...can't really say he minds, though, because having clever people with his glyph is his favorite thing.]

[Very well. Time to drop the sympathetic act.]

I can make it so that Rewind does not know.

I can also make it so that your skills will prevent Tarn from hurting anyone ever again.

I can also help keep your mind safe and in control...so that others would be less likely to take advantage of it.

...

[Chromedome is stunned into silence. All of that is everything he could want, especially as a mnemosurgeon. He's no fool though, and he knows that good things don't come for free.]

What... What would you even get out of this? Why offer that to me?

Can you really do that?

[personal profile] maxicpolarity 2013-11-23 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
What do I get out of this?

[He sounds positively shocked that you would ask.]

I can see no reason in allowing Tarn--or anyone--to roam free wantonly killing or torturing who he wants. That is chaos.

The more chaos that is sowed within the Haven, the stronger the Badlands, the Lambda, and Unicron himself become. Do you see?

We need control in order to keep everyone safe. We need control to keep refugees from loosing their minds, from wandering to the badlands, or from succumbing to the will of the chaos bringer.

We cannot simply kill these elements, because he will just send more.

We need to work with them. We need to keep order.

You, Chromedome....you are the only one who can do this.

If we lose your ability, we may lose much, much more.

[Serious Liege is serious. Or...at least he sounds that way.]

[It's like being hit with one guilt-trip after another, until only a shred of Chromedome's fragile self-worth remains.]

...

I'll...

I'll think about it.

I can't make this kind of decision now.

Of course.

It sounds as if you've already gone through with removing them, besides...and it will take me some time to engineer replacements.

I may even be able to fix some of the side effects inherent in the original design.

When you are ready to help, however, all you need do is come to the temple.
