re_alignment | [video] Edge of Solus' quadrant, crystal tree forest

Since the Firstforged are leaving, unknown for how long, I was thinking we might want to patrol more consistently towards the borders of Haven, especially in the direction of the Badlands.

[She needs some distraction and she's been considering bringing this up since she talked to Solus either way.]

Where, and how far, do the police force patrol? Though, anyone who can and feel like it should probably assist, but coordination would probably make it more effective. So far I've kept it mostly around the edge of Solus Prime's outer border.

[Elita walks as she speaks, looking more at the now rather impressively large crystal "trees" around her than the screen, but not just for admiring them - rather looking for something.]

Also, would anyone be capable of making some form of alarms we could put around the edges? Simple motion-detection ones might be useful enough, but I was thinking of something that might be able to detect the type of energy the Badlands contain.

[Nothing she can do, but hopefully someone else would be - or could try to.]

Ah. I think I understand, then. [And she does, even if she's pretty sure humans at least on the Earth in her reality hasn't shown anything like sparks or what Sora might be talking about, but different realities are different realities.]

It's interesting that there are similarities sometimes.

[She chuckles then, and nods.]

Only relying on one skillset is never a good idea. Better to trust what you can do with only yourself and count anything else as a bonus. A will to fight means a lot, after all.

Someday I should make a list about all of the things that are similar and which ones are different. [ a lot of that stuff is interesting to note. part of the reason that Sora likes the places that he visits. ]

I'm Sora, by the way.

Sounds like an interesting idea. It might even have uses, if something happens, since if you know what's similar, it's also easier to know what's different and then you can exclude issues that way...

[She trails off and then smiles, dipping her helm in a nod.]

Sora. I'm Elita One.

You guys have some interesting names.

[ and he means that in a good way! it's very varied! ]

[That makes her laugh, taking no offense at all.]

And I'd say the same about most of you organics as well! But I think, in some ways our naming conventions are a little different and languages, which makes the translations... very particular sometimes.

Translations?

[ pfffft. this kid has never been anywhere that needed them. or maybe the Keyblade does that automatically. who knows! ]

... You might not have noticed it, but the Link provides translations for us. If you go out of reach for the Link, which is centered around the Haven, you wouldn't be able to understand me, nor I you, unless there was another method of translation, we had a common language, or I learned yours.

[Since it's rather easy for cybertronians to pick up language, as it were.]

Yeah... Can't say I noticed that. I've never had a problem understanding people when I world hop.

Interesting. [He tilts her helm, curious.]

Perhaps the... ah, magic provides translation? Or, which ought to be impossible, you're all speaking the same language.

It might be the magic thing. Wouldn't be the first thing like that it's capable of doing.

Though... Kinda would be neat to listen to a different language.

Sounds like it could be it.

[Chuckling, Elita taps a piece of crystal against her cheek.]

Well, while I want to finish this, and it would take a while to go out far enough the Link stops working, I wouldn't mind picking you up sometime and taking you out so you could hear it without translation.

I'm not gonna say no to that, but if it is too much trouble, then that's okay too.

[ won't be disappointed either way! ]

No, don't worry about it, it's not.

[She wriggles the crystal a little.]

I merely need to get this done and we can have a little excursion later - I'm going to patrol the outer edges, especially Solus Prime's quadrant more anyway.

Sounds good to me, if you're gonna be going out anyway.

[ and really... besides taking a nap on a nice, warm beach? does it look like this is a kid that likes to sit still? ]

Good. I'll talk to you later... I would offer to take you along for more than one drive if you'd really would want to, but my altmode isn't exactly configured for a passenger, unlike quite a few others.

[The space was too small to comfortably hold anything more than a kid somewhat shorter than Sora was, really.]

Don't sweat it. I mean seriously. Does this look like the face of a guy that's disappointed?

I suppose not, no. [She smiles and nods.] Later, then.
