╬ [Video] :: Location - Prima's Temple

[young_upstart]

I don't know what to think with all these disappearances of late, but so long as anyone is still here, we still have things to do, and each other to look out for.

[Yeah, that sounded good. Okay then.]

I've been wondering for a while- I mean, it's not like it seems to be talked about a whole lot so I'm not sure if it's meant to be a secret or something. But...just how many Initiates are there around here? And who do you represent?

Which one are you with?

[Video]

[young_upstart]

I'm with Prima.

[Jadewing shakes his head and chuckles slightly.]

Heh... why am I not surprised? [pause] Don't suppose you're from far enough along in the timeline to know what I'm talking about, though.

[His brow quirks at that.]

If this is about the whole Rodimus Prime thing, I've already gotten heard something about it. It's...still pretty weird to me.

Re: [Video]

[the_other_green_seeker]

Ah, so you do know about it. Was wondering if anybody'd been able to tell you.

[pause]

What should I call you, since you're not Prime yet here?

[Translation: You weren't important enough to be known among the lower ranks before you became Prime so he has no idea WTF your name is.]

I would have preferred no one did, but Springer was eager to run his mouth about it, the last time I saw him here.

...it's just Hot Rod, okay? I'm not a Prime, so let's just keep it simple.

[the_other_green_seeker]

'Hot Rod', huh? You pick that name before or after you got that paintjob?

Name's Jadewing.

[young_upstart]

...could ask you the same thing.

Re: [Video]

[the_other_green_seeker]

Heh, touche.

After for me. Us Seekers didn't earn our names til we finished training. Til then we were called by our alpha-numeric designations.

[young_upstart]

Huh, is that right? Guess I'm not really familiar with how you guys do things.

Re: [Video]

[the_other_green_seeker]

Fair enough, since I don't know how you Autobots do things like that either. All we were ever really taught was how best to fight you. Details of your social structure generally weren't considered relevant.

[Video]

[young_upstart]

I...yeah. That's true, but I guess when you're expected to hit the ground running when we're in the middle of a war, one doesn't get much of a chance to think about that.

Re: [Video]

[the_other_green_seeker]

Yeah.

It's almost weird, having time to think about random slag like that. Thinking wasn't something that was especially encouraged among the lower ranks.

[For that read: they were supposed to shut up and do as they were told, no matter what.]

[Video]

[young_upstart]

Well, you don't have any reason not to, here.

Re: [Video]

[the_other_green_seeker]

So I've noticed. Still deciding whether or not I enjoy it.

[Video]

[young_upstart]

Oh yeah?
