I... apologise if I was... ah, short with anyone while the pillar's influence was in effect.

[Jetfire shifts his shoulders, briefly glancing away. Thinking of that is just kind of uncomfortable, the way things changed - and didn't - from simply staying.]

I've more important matters to bring up for consideration, however, as during the first examination of the pillar I managed to find out it goes down. It comes from the Lambda, and goes down. And not just under the surface, but into the core.

[Folding his arms over his chestplates, Jetfire frowns. he's not sure how to take the additional information, but there ought to be energy within Cybertron, so he can accept that.]

I believe the best method of taking care of the pillar or conducting more research towards that same course of action would be to go to where it... er, attaches to Cybertron itself, as destroying or otherwise trying to remove it at the surface will leave part of it still on, and in, Cybertron.

So if anyone has any knowledge regarding a way down into the core of Cybertron, if you could speak up...

[Pause. Things have been... awkward the last few days, but.]

Ah, Starscream..? Could I ask you to come with?

Mm, yes. I wasn't planning, except in a severe lack of other... ah, possibilities of carving away next to the pillar, using the crumbled ground there.

[He shakes his helm.]

Since merely being close to it brings issues of wanting to touch it, nevermind actually touching it --- you're all right now?

[Jetfire frowns, eyeing Albert closer. Well, as all right as one can be of spending some amount of time on fire, at any rate.]

Excavation isn't totally out of the question...just you know, no touching.

I think so...I'll see if anything comes back.

Trrue, though the pillar, I believe, still exerts its influence, which could make "no touching" something of an issue.

... Hopefully it, ah, won't. So far I haven't experienced any... er, lingering side-effects, but keeping a thought to that is probably a good idea for all that ended up touching it.

Exactly.

Doesn't make sense...that pillar stretches right from the lambada to the core. We should have seen someone building it. Something like that doesn't show up overnight.

[Jetfire drags a hand down his faceplate at Albert's comment, a rather noisy static sigh escaping him.]

I would definitely agree, but the incidental evidence seem to point to that it did simply appear overnight, since it wasn't present before the storm, and the day after, if I remember correctly [considering he wasn't quite himself by that point.] it was.

... I also seem to remember having felt something of a sudden and brief shudder, like an impact, but I'm not going to use that as evidence for anything, as I believe I was shaken out of recharge very briefly and the... er, changed worldview I had after that happened around then.

...so you're saying either something planted it there or something is making us think there's something there.

Given this place's love of brainwashing, I believe the second part.

The latter is... a possibility, but since the Lambda is a time-space anomaly and the fact that it is physical [... and metaphysical but Jetfire doesn't exactly feel like touching that right now] I would argue that it is, unfortunately, actually there.

We do seem to end up affected or believeing things are different than they are, in ways that seem like brainwashing, quite often though, you're correct.
