Hey guys!

[Whoa, Rewind, where have you BEEN the past month? Well, to be honest, he's been doing a lot! Catching up on things in Trion's library, watching the Link (and recording it all to memory), and most importantly, charting the skies per Trion's request. Why yes, he certainly is a busy little flash drive, isn't he? But it seems he's stuck his head out of the books enough to show you something.]

So after a couple of quick scans of the sky, I've been able to separate it into four quadrants. Now, bear with me, these take a LONG time to piece together, even for someone like me. And even then, they're not 100% accurate. But it's a good look at what we've got looking back at us.

Heck, I even made it a little fun, complete with some constellations Domey and I made!

[Below, there'll be a file attached. If you press it with your finger, it'll open it up to a full scale larger image.]

Pretty cool, huh?

[Go ahead, show your amazement.]

This is the North-Northeast Quadrant, as far as I can chart for now. Whatcha guys think?

You really did all of that?

All by yourself?

... It's beautiful.

Aw Kagerou, you're gonna make me blush!

[You know, if he could.]

Trion's asked me specifically to do this. And this is only just one fourth of it!

You can blush?

He did? When?

He caught me stargazing once. Guess we bumped into each other--but he gave me his findings on the night sky and asked me to compile it all together for him.

Pretty cool, huh.

That is.

You're lucky you were given such an important job.

I know right? Then again, don't you do something kind of like that?

[He hesitates a little.]

It's... not as important as the stars.

C'mon buddy, I wanna know.

What's Trion got you doing?

[He's said it before but... where Rewind is concerned, it feels... embarrassing.]

[Like he's done something wrong.]

Watching. Observing.

Taking note of what others do, here. For him.

And you don't think that's important?

[There's warmth in those words.]

Kagerou, you report directly to Trion. That means something.

Not really.

[Now this just sounds even stupider.]

It's... that the Firstforged. They aren't well-liked. By anyone I know of, really. [Except Kay, but Kay is... Kay.] I don't know if it's really something to be proud of.

There's good and bad in all of us, Kagerou. Some of us can just see it better in them than others.

Just open your eye a little more. Look at the gray instead of the black and white.

You'll find things are pretty colourful.

You think I should... be open about this? Instead of keeping it quiet, then?

I wouldn't say THAT exactly. People might not like the idea that you're spying on them for the big guy.

Just...try to have faith in them. It's because of them we're not going crazy from Unicron's influence right now.

That's what worries me. Their reaction to that part.

It's hard to. When they vanish and the problems happen.

Best to keep it on the downlow, bud. Just my opinion.

...

I know what you mean, though. But you know...better problems than becoming a giant rage monster, you know?

Don't bite the bartender that hands ya a cube.

I trust your opinion.

...

I... do know. I don't want to see that -- not again.

[Because there are still times he jerks awake, having suddenly recalled old memory data of the Chieftain.]

It's still difficult, regardless.

...

Sorry about that. Probably too soon to bring it up, still.

[But there's an understanding nod.]

But you'll try, right?

I have to deal with it at some point. Don't I?

...

Yes. I'll try. I trust you.

Yeah, definitely. But only you can decide when that is.

So many decisions.

I'm not sure I'll be able to make them all.

Welcome to being a living thing, Kagerou.

One of the...obligations that come with it.

... if I make these choices, I'm really a living thing?

Not really.

[Hold on, he has a point to make.]

It's not if. It's because.

Because you're living, you make the choices. You got it mixed up a tiny bit.

Because I'm living...

[He quiets for a bit.]

Is it hard to believe I... still can't accept that completely?
