[It's not really Bulk's thing to do something like this. But after at least one reported freak out over the Glyphs changing, it feels like something needed to be done.]

Alright, usually not my thing. But some explainin' is in order over the Glyphs we all have.

First off, even having a glyph is a good thing. If you didn't have one, you'd currently be turnin' into a crazy, mindless monster. Having gone through seeing this personally with a close friend from home? I would rather never see it again. The glyphs also give you some protection from the badlands, where Unicron's in control there, and glyphless seem to go.

Their changing? It normal. It happens every couple of months. Better to get used to it, cause it happens. What's the changes mean? Means the FirstForged liked something they saw you doin'. The outlines? Means some how you drew the attention of a Forged besides the one you're aligned to. Each different color means which Forged

Alpha Trion's magenta
Liege Maximo is green
Megatronus Prime is black
Nexus Prime is blue
Prima is white
Solus Prime is violet
And Vector Prime is gold

I personally am aligned with Solus and Nexus. [He shifts to show his own glyph, which is more ornate than a normal glyph, but it's still a violet glyph with a strong blue outline around it. It's also a third larger, and has a violet glow around it. He shifts back to talk to the camera.]

And yeah, sometimes the glyphs change entirely, and you'll find yourself with another Forged. Sometimes they just grow brighter, or even get bigger in size.

But like I said, it's normal, it's somethin' that happens here. Got any other questions, I've been here over a year and a half, so I might have answers.

[With that he cuts the feed.]

Huh, so that's who the pink is for. [Because 'magenta' or not, his outline is still faint enough that it looks pink.] Good to know.

Wonder what I did to get the big guy's attention?

Yeah, Alpha Trion's not that bad.

Uh, well. Whattaya done the last couple months?

Hmmm... Well, the most unusual thing I did was turn insubstantial. But since that was hardly my idea, I don't think that counts.

As for stuff I actually meant to do, let's see... [brief pause as he thinks] Aside from the usual, random stuff, I joined the police force, and have been helping them out since. Greeted some new arrivals. And started working with one of them to help get her ice-magic under control. I think that's about all the major stuff.

Heh, yeah. Pretty sure that wouldn't count. It wasn't you.

Wow, that's a lot. It's possible one of those drew his attention.

Now if I only knew which one it was so I could make sure to keep doing it. Nooooooot entirely fond of being beholden to Megatronus, and since the only way out of that is for another First Forged to take me on...

[Yeah. Gonna be doing what he can to distance himself from tall, dark, and brooding.]

Sorry I can't be more help in that.

[He looks apologetic. He does wish he couldhelp more.]

Nah, don't blame ya. Maybe try doing similar stuff with more people?

Eh, don't worry about it. This was actually pretty helpful. Sides, not like it's your fault I got dropped on the doorstep of one of the less friendly robot-demigods.

[If he was being honest with himself, he and Megatronus did line up to a certain degree, whether he liked it or not. But it was nice to know he was moving past that a little. Or at least developing some other part of himself.]

Yeah, sounds like a good plan. Of course, I'd probly greet new arrivals in any case. Always nice to have new people to be a wise-ass to.

Glad I could help some. I wish it had been done sooner. But...I admit I had been waiting for somebody else to do it. [Somebody better at these kinds of things.]

Heh, having somebody greet them does help calm them down. Specially if it's somebody familiar. Or even if they're bein' a...wise-ass.

Yeah. Guess everybody else was waiting for someone else to do it too, so it just kinda... never happened til now.

Heh, well, I can't guarantee familiar, but wise-ass is definitely doable.

Yeah, guess so. It's gettin' fixed now, though. Me and one other are gonna see about puttin' together an FAQ.

That's better than nothing.

Sounds like a plan. A FAQ would definitely be easier than trying to head off everyone's questions individually.

[Even if it was less fun sometimes.]

Exactly. Cause some people don't seem to even listen the/acolytes.or still have questions the acolytes didn't answer.

Not to mention some people just freak out and run off before they can answer anything anyway. Not that I can really blame them. Just because most people seem to take it pretty well, doesn't mean that getting yanked through time and space and deposited on an alter isn't freaky as hell.

Yeah, that too. Definitely would've found it harder, if this wasn't Cybertron. Even if it's not my world's.

This'll definitely help, though. Combined with people that aren't acolytes.

You got anything you think oughtta be on there?

Hmmm... Might want to put in a note for all the non-robots about the fact that they can get food and beds meant for folks like them at the Hub. Cause that's kind of an important thing to know, when you don't run on energon and enjoy sleeping on giant slabs of metal.

[Oh wow, something he didn't think of, and he'she's pretty sure Sentinel didn't either. He's so glad he asked.

He makes a note of it.]

I admit, I didn't think of that. [He feels bad that he didn't, even though he knows the hub is there, and there's food there. He even got stuck in one of the storage rooms once.]

Glad I asked, thanks.

No problem. I think of anything else, I'll let you know.
