re_alignment | [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.]

Perhaps Jetfire will know about them. There must be SOMEONE who knows. If I get anything I’ll let you know.

[You and Wheeljack are his to go guys when it comes to building stuff.]

W-what weapon was that? Sounds both useful and dangerous.

I know we had some kinda one back home. Wasn't made for a ship, though. It held insecticons, until they were released. Held one of our enemies for months.

[Yay! He'll try, would do him good to expand beyond just roads.]

Called the immobilizer. [Yes, probably the most obvious name ever.] And useful or dangerous depended on who's hands it was in. Originally made by the cons, but we'd managed to get it away from them/ They stole it back, but it's destroyed now.

What's an insecticon? It's the same as Blackarachnia? And you won't happen to know anybody from your universe who might be able to build one?

[Blurr would help them more if he had the sightless strength.]

A fitting name. [Cybertronians are so good with those.]Maybe that's for the better.

A species on our Cybertron, that worked for Megatron and the cons. Big, deadly, and hard to take down. Not...that I know of. Maybe there'd be somethin' in the library about them. [Of course they had one in the base. But he wasn't really thinking of how it was made at the time.]

Yeah, still had it's uses. But I'd hate for it to fall into wrong hands if it showed up here.

It's the first time I've heard about them. Blackarachnia is not like that. [Certainly not big.]I'll check Trion's library for more possible information.

that sure wouldn't end well, no. we have enough problems already.

Yeah, they're about as tall as my Megatron, a plenty armored. Easy to take down though if you know how. [Says the bot who nearly took out four of them.] Uh, I can go with ya, and help you look.

Yeah, agreed.

Is that 'how' beating them to a pupl? Because I'm not the strongest of mechs, you see...[Badass Bulk is badass.]

That, and usin' grenades are pretty effective too. [Plus Tox-en didn't hurt either, cough.]Heh, I know you're not, You definitely got a better chance at them, the bigger you are.

I use my speed as my advantage if I can and I've been learning how to shoot better. Grenades, though...can't say I tried that. [Tox-en, uh?]Those sounds a bit too unpredictable.

Huh, yeah. Insecticons do tend to a little slow and cumbersome. At least in robot mode. So speed and shooting could work, if you hit the right spots.

[He chuckles.]

They work if you know how to use them. Killed at at least two insecticons with them.

Any tips on what are those right spots? The eyes or joints, perhaps? [For the record, Blurr's a shitty shooter.]

Oh, wow.

[Boop, have a pretty picture of one., plus one of the insect mode.]

Goin' for the head is a good one, hitting the eyes. The underside of their alt-mode or the head is good too. [He'll list off others too.]

[WHAT IS THAT THING, KILL IT WITH FIRE.]

It's good that I'm practicing with long range weapons.... [He sure doesn't want to be near that guy.]

[HE DID! ...WITH GRENADES. SAME DIFFERENCE]

Yeah, long range works too. Not recommended up close unless you got the muscle.

[GOOD.]

Sadly I don't. I can always use the stasis cuff too.

Hmm, that could work. These guys were kept in stasis pods by the cons. Until they were needed. Not sure about stasis cuffs, they might work.

Those work on the Decepticons in my world and they're 5 times my size.

[Dang, five times Blurr's size?]

Hm, yeah. They may work on them then. You got some here, right? ...not that they'll probably show up.

[More or less. Megatron can hold Optimus like a Barbie doll in one hand, and OP is still taller than Blurr.]

Yes, I do, thankfully. And I do more, I know how those work.

[Oh he knows that well. His Megatron can do that to Arcee.]

Good, uh...anybody else on the force know how to use them?

[Terribly irritating, isn't it?]

Yes. Plenty of us, don't worry.

[Bulk wouldn't know personally, he's so big even his Optimus had issues lifting him.]

Heh, good to hear.

So, when's good for me to meetcha at Trion's library so we can see if he's got plans there?

[Bulk, you lucky bastard.]

I'm free this evening, if that's okay with you.

Alright, I'll meetcha at the entrance. You show me where it is. [He...hasn't exactly been to the library before. He's heard plenty about it, though.]

That I can do.

I'll see you later, Bulk!
