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?

As soon as possible... within the next few days unless some... er, unforeseen circumstances occur, or it takes us longer than that to organise. But considering that we don't know how we're dealing with the pillar yet, we won't know what to bring, so anything will have to be by known-quantity necessity, which will make packing... ah, relatively simple.

I can ping you and come and pick you up when we're leaving.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Also, do you mind if I ask if you could make me a new hoverboard sometime? I accidentally turned my old one to dust.

You... er, what? Did it, ah, happen while the pillar was affecting several of us?

[He shakes his helm, quite puzzled, before nodding.]

I'll see what I can do, certainly.

I touched the pillar and it gave me strange powers.

Also it gave me a large robot wolf, but he seems to be gone now.

... Ah. [It should be strange how much that makes sense.] Yes, the pillar is sort of hard to resist if you aren't constantly guarding yourself.

[He smiles a little, dryly.]

And if you're the least bit curious, guarding yourself isn't the... er, easiest thing to do.

[For any of them.]

Curiosity is my nature, I can't help it.

I want to know what's going on with that pillar.

Even if something bad happens.

Science and rectifying a dangerous situation sometimes requires some sacrifice, certainly.

Hopefully none of us will pay too much for this.

[He shifts his shoulders and shakes his helm. In truth, he would rather the group was as small as possible, but they might need numbers.]

[4_toteachus]

Sacrifice is always necessary if there's a need for it.

I think we'll be fine. If not, then I'm sure we'll come back.

Sometimes it's unavoidable, yes.

[And briefly, Jetfire sounds and looks rather serious, even if Four's other comment is basis for some serious consideration as well.]

Maybe. I wish we knew the procedure and method better, in regards to what brings us back, because I'm wondering if the lack of the Firstforged might not have a negative effect on it.
