Number V: Taking stock [video]
[Axel appears on the screen at a somewhat odd angle, like he's not actually holding the communicator.]
OK, show of hands. Or if you happen to be invisible- which I hear is the case for at least one person-, speak up.
I think it's safe to say that a lot of us are having weird- or at least weirder than usual- things happening to us recently. And it seems to be connected to these weird clumps of colored energon- that glowing, crystal stuff the robots use for fuel for those not paying attention. Thing is, if we're going to figure out how to undo all this stuff, we're going to have to figure out if there's some kind of pattern to all this.
Alia already seems to be on the scientific angle, but just having a simpler list for reference would be good too. That way people can tell what energon seems to cause which effects and where it is at a glance.
For me, I found some red in a rock crevice on the outskirts of Megatronus' territory, and now, I pass right through any solid objects other than the ground. Including people, which is just as weird as you'd expect it to be.

[He'll apologize for this later. Inasmuch as TC apologizes for anything.]
Re: [Video]
[Thundercracker's behavior has him wondering though...]
Just out of curiosity, did you run across any strange-colored energon recently?
[Video]
[He's not in trouble, is he?]
Re: [Video]
But anyway, Axel calls that reply a resounding 'yes'.]
Uh-huh... It didn't happen to be yellow, did it?

Re: [Video]
[normal volume] There's lots of strange colored energon popping up lately, and being exposed to it has different effects. The yellow energon you found causes fear. Irrational fear, from what I've seen. We're working on a way to reverse the effects, though.

I don't know. With what vorpal dustscraplets can do to a mech, I'd say it's not exactly irrational.
[Don't mind him. Even HE doesn't know what he thinks they can actually do.]
Re: [Video]
[Video]
Uh…well…
No.
Re: [Video]

[That's an excellent question. One he doesn't have an answer to.]
I-I just do, all right!
[Okay, not a /good/ answer.]
Re: [Video]
[Axel sees right through your lame answer TC.]
See what I mean about irrational fear? Blackarachnia got some of the yellow energon and now she's scared of her own reflection to the point of smashing all her mirrors.
[Video]
She is pretty scary-looking.
[Ignore your own issue to focus on someone else's – that's a valid plan, right?]
Re: [Video]
[Yeeaaaah.... no.]
And no avoiding the subject. Personally, I'm willing to bet there isn't a vorpal dust scraplet within a hundred miles of here. If they exist at all.
