[Have a very serious-looking Deckard, Haven. After his conversations with Barricade and Kagerou (and earlier, with Prima), he's . . . pretty sure he's figured out what's going on. Not the why, he's still working on that, but . . . "what" at least will help everyone better deal with those who have seemed to go "crazy".]
Citizens of Haven, my name is Deckard, with the Brave Police. I'm sure I don't have to tell anyone that we've had some massive changes in some of our populace in the past day or so. Just since that unusual storm, if I'm not mistaken.
[He's not sure if there's a correlation or not, but the timing is hard to ignore, and if nothing else offers a point of temporal reference. He's not mentioning the Pillar because, frankly, he's just not been here long enough to have really noticed/realized/known it WASN'T here before.]
I don't believe that anyone has gone crazy as some have been speculating. I think we're dealing with alternate versions of them, from other realities vastly different from the ones that those we knew came from. If I'm right, no amount of asking them to remember themselves will work, because those memories simply don't exist for them. They belong to another.
Those of you who have found yourselves here just in the past day or so . . . please be patient while we sort this out. If you are in need of assistance, all you have to do is ask. I can't promise we'll be able to help, but I'm sure whoever answers will at least do their best.

McCrane, Power Joe, please check in.
[PLEASE tell him /you/ guys are still "normal" at least!]

[He frowns a little.]
[Video]
[He rather steadfastly doesn't believe that he is.]
I wish I knew. I have to admit that I'm still too new here myself to be able to start taking too many guesses. Besides the storm, has anything else happened or changed or...anything...recently?
[Because again - Pillar? What Pillar? Hasn't it been there befo-...wait...it wasn't there when Prima had him look out the window at the Lambda, was it? It's not /TOO/ obvious, but there /is/ some mental headdesking going on in his Super A.I.]
That column under the Lambda . . . how long has that been there?
I'm sorry . . . we've not actually met yet. My name is Deckard. I'm pleased to meet you.
[Video]
[He blinks.] -column? Ah! I was wondering about that too! It appeared after the storm. I don't know what it's supposed to be for, but there's something about it...
[It makes him uncomfortable, though he can't explain why.]
Oh, right- I guess we haven't, huh? I'm Ventus, or you can call me Ven. It's nice to meet you too, Deckard.
[Video]
Something about the column...?
[An invitation to continue that train of thought . . . if there's anything really to continue.]
[Video]
[Video]
There's a creation named Four here who said something about investigating that column, come to think of it. I wonder if that's not a viable place to start.
[Video]
Hmm. An investigation might be good. That thing definitely wasn't there before, so maybe there's something to it.
[Video]
I've only been here for a few days, so correct me if I'm wrong . . . but we had a storm more severe than anyone's seen here before, there's a massive pillar connecting the Lambda to the ground that wasn't here before, there are suddenly a significant number of alternates here who seem to have only just arrived since both those occurrences . . . has anyone seen or heard from the, eh, "normal" versions of any of these people? It makes me wonder if they weren't outright switched out somehow.
Has anyone heard from the First-forged, for that matter? They rule this place, right? Wouldn't they have anything to say on this, or do they normally stay that far removed from what happens to us?
["Detective Deckard on a case" is definitely a go right now.]
[Video]
When Ma- Megatron spoke over the Link, it didn't come off as a new ID. Do you think they really could have been switched out, though..?
[Blink.]
I haven't seen them, but usually they keep to themselves. I spoke to Prima a few days ago but...
[He frowns, absently fingering the edge of his sleeve that slightly obscures his glyph. Pausing, he pulls it up.]
...huh? That's...weird.
[Video]
I spoke to Prima a few days ago too. He seemed distracted and deeply concerned about possible changes in the Lambda itself-...
Ventus? What is it?
[Video]
...my glyph- most recently it started glowing pretty brightly, but for some reason it doesn't seem as bright right now?
[Video]
…maybe it has something to do with the chaos going on right now…?
[Yeah, he has NO clue.]
[Video]
[Video]
If the others are anything like Prima – at least the impression that I got – they're all pretty powerful. I'd hate to think something could have happened to them. But yes, I suppose we should try to contact them.
[Give him a minute while posts another, separate comm-vid.]
All right. I've left a message for Prima-sama. I'll let you know when I hear from him.
[When. Not if. Because the implications behind a failed "if" are . . . really not good.]
[Video]
He nods when the robot reappears.]
Thanks. I appreciate it.
[video]
[s i g h]
Now we just need to figure out how to get them back to normal.
[video]
[If this mech's got theories, he'll consider just about anything at this point.]
I think we've not met yet, by the way. I'm Deckard. Pleased to meet you. Are you another Cybertronian?
[Sorry, he's never seen armor like that...]
Re: [video]
[...cybertronian??] What? Oh, no. This is just an amoured suit. Thought I'd keep it on me if we have several robots on a rampage.
Re: [video]
Previous occurrences . . . what was done to correct them? Or is there info on that?
Re: [video]
I've been talking to 4 and they reckon there's a pillar somewhere that might be the cause of all this.
[video]
I'm also speaking with a boy named Ventus. He says he gets a "weird" feeling from it. Have you experienced any such thing?
[He hasn't himself, but then, he's not gotten anywhere near it yet.]
Re: [video]
[weird? well. isaac always feels a bit weird - but for other reasons]
Not that I'm aware of.
[video]
I probably should. Though if enough others are going, I may hold myself in reserve and concentrate on dealing with altered individuals in our populace.
[He's worried to CRAP about Kagerou, for one. And . . . no one's heard anything from Drill Boy…]
[video]
So, basically, your explanation is mysterious magic?
Yeah, I'm not buying it.
[video]
I've heard a saying before. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Or something very close to that.
I don't think it's magic, no. Though I don't pretend to understand the physics or whatever science behind it. If you have a more viable explanation for what's going on, though, I'm certainly open to hearing it.
[There's no sarcasm in that. He does believe he's right, but he doesn't KNOW if he is, so he's more than willing to hear out other theories.]
[video]
[video]
Think of it this way . . . how many times in your life have there been instances where if something had happened another way, your life would be different now. You might even be different now.
[He's done some research in between chasing crises - he'd been trying to comprehend what might have befallen Kagerou and how to fix it.]
[video]
[video]
. . .
[Deckard hasn't met this mech's "other", so he can't comment on what kind of character he is. He's . . . not going to promise anything like that, though.]
I'll see what I can do… [His voice trails off as he realizes he doesn't know your name.] We've not properly met yet, I think. My name is Deckard. Pleased to meet you.
[video]
[smirk] Ambulon. And you seem... different. From the rest of us. You some sort of NAIL?
[video]
[video]
[video]
[He frowns at that.]
I'm strong enough.
I take it you're not fond of humans.
[He's wording that diplomatically…]
