Video [Origin in Alpha Trion's temple]

[scienderp]

[The video feed is turned on, focusing on the face of a large, white mech with a very distinctly... worried and concerned expression. Guys, guys he was just under several feet of ice guys how did this happen what is this even-]

I have learned a few things from the ah... acolytes within this temple, but I have more questions for those who have been brought here.

My name is Skyfire, is there anyone here who would recognize that name?

[He's not going to mention any names specifically, but there's a definite hopeful lift to his tone.]

I'm looking for any other Autobots there may be out there as well... Even if I do not know you now, I would still like to learn more about you. It isn't necessary of course, but... it seems only right that we all get to know each other.

If anything, they would certainly... or at least hopefully, be aware of either the exact time this Cybertron's been around, or, as you say, could given an educated guess.

[Pausing, Jetfire frowns thoughtfully.]

After that, access to space, or equipment to calculate the age of this universe would be required to establish how much time has passed in this reality, compared with any other given one...

[The idea is rather facinating, really.]

I wonder if any of the first forged would be willing or able to grant us access to the space outside of Cybertron... It is worth asking them at the very least, seeing as how we cannot leave on our own power.

I am sure that they would have the power to at least assist in giving us the equipment to date, if not explore the universe.

Hopefully so. I do know at least one of them are capable of flight, and I think there is some measure of temporarily breaching the limit, but there might be issues accompanying that.

Hmm, yes. Liege Maximo has several labs scattered through his temple, and I believe Nexus Prime is somewhat science oriented as well... Equipment, until we all can procure our own, shouldn't be impossible.

Still, even if it's temporary it's worth looking in to. Anything is better than nothing at all.

If, of course, they are willing to share their equipment with us. You have been here longer, do you know which of them would be the most willing to assist?

Indeed, and hopefully this is merely temporary, or there will be some way to circumvent it, if only because it would be a lot simpler to do something about the Lambda if we could get closer to it, if not reach it...

[A frown.]

Considering the readings I've been getting even from low atmosphere from the resident time-space anomaly, I can't see it being the most safe thing to do to approach it too closely... and not without protection.

[Which he might reasonably possess, at least enough for a short time of close-up exposure.]

Ah, yes... Well. [Jetfire hesitates, and while he could lock this, it'd be... suspicious at best and an outright beacon at worst, and he will not be saying anything too incriminating either way.] You may have a better luck with Nexus Prime rather than Liege Maximo... But I believe they might all be inclined to ask something in return, so it'd be a question of who you'd want to... promise to lend your assistance to.

I would, however, ask the... er, Firstforged whose glyph you bear... Alpha Trion, yes? He might not have the resources directly, but could probably still point you in a direction that we could pursue later.

I wouldn't consider approaching it without protection. It's clearly unstable, and I wouldn't begin to fathom what might happen if anyone were to move close to it without taking the proper precautions.

Ah... I see. Of course, I should have expected it. Indeed, I think I will consult Alpha Trion first before I make any decisions. I would rather go into this matter a bit more educated on my choices.

The hardest part - and the most difficult to shield from without proper help from our... hosts... might be protection from the possible time-space related radiation or destabilization. As normal space-radiation should be simple enough.

[Jetfire nods at the latter part, having at least given what he could, here. And at least given some sort of indication who his alternate might want - and not want - to approach with any such request.]
