[Action/Audio]

[It's only been five days since he passed out, but for Bulkhead it's felt like much much longer. Months, probably close to a year if not more, had passed back home. So much happened. Too much happened. Especially the loss of Optimus. It turned a defeat of Unicron into a bittersweet victory.

It was a cruel irony after reviving Cybertron, and life being restored to the Well. But at least the rest of the team had each other. Would help each other through this, like with everything else that had happened.

He gives a groan as his systems power up again, after being down for a days. His eyes lighting up as he sits up, rubbing at his helm for a moment. Before he looks around, hand dropping as he blinks for a moment. Wondering where he is, before it clicks in his mind again. He glances at his shoulder, feeling that comforting weight of the familiar glyph again.

Oh, right.]

Home sweet home.

[He mutters, as he swings his legs over the side of the berth he was on. Other than a little banged up considering he was real recently in a ship crash he's otherwise in good shape physically.

Right, time to locate people, and find out who's still here. He pushes up and stretches, before heading out of the room.

Later, he send out a short audio message.]

Uh, hey. Guess I'm back. Uh...I miss anything? ...how long was I out?

[Feel free to encounter him in the temple, the room, or contact over the comms.]

[heartdive]

You might wanna be careful. Looks like more and more people are getting sick.

[neverputincharge]

That's still goin' around?Huh, woulda thought they'd find a way to fix it already.

Been goin' on over a week hasn't it?

[heartdive]

You'd think so, right? All these smart people and stuff...

[ but nope. he is here. in the clinic. being bored to tears. ]

[neverputincharge]

Yeah, no kiddin'.

[He tilts his head.]

You catch it?

[heartdive]

Me? Nah. I'm still kinda new and still getting to know people.

[ meaning he hasn't been around people TOO much to catch anything. BECAUSE THAT'S HOW IT SPREADS, RIGHT? ]

[neverputincharge]

Ah, pretty new then. How long ya been here?

[Don't look at him, he doesn't have a clue about human health.]

[heartdive]

Oh... About a month maybe? Feels about right.

[ at least that's what it seems like! ]

[neverputincharge]

Yeah...not long at all then. You're lucky, it's been a pretty quiet month too.

At least for this place. [Well, quiet other than the virus going around, new people arriving and stuff with the Forged.]

[heartdive]

Quiet month? Just how loud can it get?

[neverputincharge]

Well, you just missed a whole thing. Unicron sent a pillar to try and take out the planet's core. It...also changed people for a while there. Uh...there's been bots and cons killin' others before, and fights to take them down.

We try to keep it quiet here, but there always seems to be them that don't want it so quiet.

[heartdive]

I think Ven might have said something like that. Guess I'm still trying to figure out why, though, people would be trying to take each other out here. Figured that's the last thing that people would want.

[neverputincharge]

You'd think so, wouldn'tcha? But we've had people killin' others here, or torturing them. [Or both in some cases.]

Bad enough with Unicron wantin' to get rid of us.

[heartdive]

Torture?

[ hello concept that is pretty much unknown to Sora! ]

[neverputincharge]

[Whoops!]

Uh....just, trust me when I say it ain't a good thing. And hope ya never have to witness it.

[heartdive]

I... I really hope so too.

[neverputincharge]

Uh...sorry kid, shouldn't've mentioned it to start with... [Now he feels a little guilty.]
