[For a moment there's darkness and the sound of multiple spider legs skittering across a metallic surface. Eventually the form of a large black widow spider comes into view and she's just.. looking around. The room she's in might be familiar to some. It's Blackarachnia's room. There are shelves lined with various jars and parts from the small bot turning her large room into a spider sized lab.

Schematics line the walls and for the moment, the spider is just staring at them. It's obvious she doesn't know the link is even on as she skitters closer to one of the papers on the wall. She reaches out a leg to touch it before pulling back and switching out of her beast mode. The shes-spider crouches there, looking confused.

For anyone who knows Blackarachnia, they might notice a few things off about the widow. This version seems to be lacking her usual confidence. Instead, she seems... nervous. Like she's expecting the owner of the room to appear out of the shadows. Every little noise seems to make her jump.

As everyone watches, she moves over to one of the lower shelves to read a few of the labels. As she does, her faction symbol comes into view. Gone is the insect symbol of the Predacons... and now there's something that looks like a stylized canine head. The Maximal symbol. Blackarachnia reaches out to pick up a jar and fumbles a little, nearly dropping it and breaking the delicate item before putting it back where she found it.

Finally something seems to catch her attention and she turns to fully face the feed and freezes, her eyes going wide as she tenses up. After a few moments, she speaks, her voice soft and unsure.]

H-hello... Does... anyone know where Silverbolt is.

[That seems to be all she's brave enough to say before she suddenly switches back to beast mode and dashes off screen. The feed times out a few seconds later. ]

[That's a good thing. Blurr smiles softly at her.]

There was a storm a few days ago and now somethings strange is going on. Don't worry, I'm sure all will be fixed eventually. [He hopes so.] Wha do you mean by 'can't be me'?

[Blurr can tell that this Blackarachnia is very different than the one he uses to know but he wants to understand why this one looks so worried.]

[She shudders slightly and tenses once more.]

I haven't... not since...

[She trailed off, not really wanting to talk about why that 'can't be her']

W-what do you mean something 'strange is going on'?

Some people here aren't acting like they usually do. Some even look different.

Are you thirsty? Or tired? There's a lot of free energon both at the pantry and the bar if you want some.

[There's another moment of hesitation before she nods.]

Y-yea. I could use some Energon.It's been awhile since I've hand any...

We have a bar where we can meet or I can go where you are now.

If you don't mind... can you come and get me? I'm... in my room? I think it's my room anyway...

Of course, it's no problem at all. I will be there in a few.

[Action!]

[True to his word, there's a knock on the door in less than 5 minutes.]

[There's the sound of something skittering across the ceiling before the door opens. For several long moments, there's silence before Blackarachnia slowly lowers herself from the ceiling, still in her beast mode and quietly switches out of her alt mode and stands on her berth, looking a little sheepish.

She looks the same... just a little more battered and there's a stylized wolf's head on her collar instead of an insect head.]

H-hey.

[Blurr blinked and looks totally confused for a few seconds. He walks inside the room but Blurr keeps a respectful distance from her to make sure Blackarachnia doesn't get uncomfortable.]

Ah...hello. Are you feeling alright?

[She eyes him cautiously and feels a little self conscious about just how much bigger than her he was. Yet.. there was something in her spark that told her he could be trusted.]

Y-yea. Just.. a little confused and hungry...I'm... supposed to be dead.

[It's a good think that it was Blurr who came to see her and not one of the real big mechs out there.]

Oh right you are hungry, Sorry sorry...I brought you this. [He puts a hand inside one of his chest compartments and brings out a bright blue cube of energon. The movement was almost too fast to see but he's offering her the cube and waiting for her to make a move.]

Can I ask how did you die? Or what do you think it lead to that outcome?

[The quick movement startles her and triggers an instinctive change back into her beast mode before she realizes that he's just holding out an energon cube. ...The biggest one she's seen since coming online.

She regards it quietly before slipping out of her beast mode and slowly approaching]

W-we were under attack. Megatron was trying to get into the Ark again and I had the defenses targeting his group. I guess... I didn't see Rampage. They forced a feedback in the defenses..

I was linked in at the time... and got the brunt of it. I remember Silverbolt saying something.. and I said something and then... I shut down. I-I know my spark went out. I felt it go out.

I'm sorry. [Blurr didn't mean to scare her, he just moves that fast. After a second, he leans over to hear her better and finally Blurr decides to sit on the floor. He will look less bigger that way and hopefully help her to relax some more.]

I know that feeling way to well, it's not a pleasant one. I'm sorry that you had to go through that. But the way you explain it...were you not with the Decepticons?

[She pauses on her cautious approach towards the cube and looks a little confused when he mentioned Decepticons before shaking her head.]

N-no. I'm a Maximal. We're the Autobot descendants.

Ah...you mentioned them to me, the other you. [But not like this. Blurr is starting to understand what is going on.] That's why you wear the symbol of a dog?

[Sorry Blacks, a dog is the closest thing to a wolf Blurr has ever seen.]

I-It's a wolf head and yeah.

[No worries, she doesn't really mind.]

Did she..? I hope it wasn't anything bad. From the archives I've seen.. I... it's been a long time since I've been like that.

A wha...ah right a wolf. [He totes knew that.] Mybad.

[Good to know.]

Yes but she was not part of their group at first, as far as I know. Don't worry too much about it.

A-Alright.. I won't.

[She edges back towards the cub as her hunger urges her forward.]

W-what else can you tell me about this place..? A-are any there any others like me here?

Good good.

No one else from your world now, no that I'm aware. But you have more friends here. Do you remember working for the Law Committee?

N-no, I don't. What did I do on the law Committee...?

To be honest most of the time you are the voice of reason. You also handle the communications between the other groups and the public.

A-am I? Am I any good at the job..?

Yesverygood. You are probably one of the most level headed members of the committee.
