[This feed was probably meant to be private, but the right buttons either weren't pressed, or he just isn't thinking clearly enough to make it so. The ninja-bot is in the air, big surprise there, but looks rather resigned, despite it.]

Soundwave -- I'm sorry. There isn't any sign of Starscream... anywhere.

[He sounds pretty tired, though. He's been looking a while.]

Heading back in now, I...

[There's a sound like an engine rattling, a choked-off sound of gears and mechanisms grinding. His thrusters die, and his wings spasm to a standstill. That's what you get for not watching your fuel/energy levels. The briefest expression of surprise registers before... well.]

[Kagerou is abruptly falling.]

[Thankfully, there's a nice, smooth lake conveniently under him. So instead of smashing into the ground, he just turns into a ninja-cannonball as the feed cuts out.]

[thxforthememories]

so i've heard. there isn't any way to predict it. is there?

[AWKWARD PAUSE -- even for text.]

i ran out of power

i wasn't keeping track

[raceme]

Not yet but perhaps the scientist there could try to make some calculations THEY would have to study the lambda for a bit before they could find any real results.

[Cute, Kagerou.]

That happens to me in my early days too MY fast speed means I consume my fuel much more faster than the average mech. _{Your engine} has been replaced for one able to synthesize energon?

[thxforthememories]

oh. no one has tried?

. . .

not yet

have been doing other things

[raceme]

I don't think so? I'm not a scientist myself and my knowledge about transwarping is limitedotherwise I would give it a try.

It would be good for you if you do it soon I am a-wa-re that it might sound like a scary procedure but Ratchet is a great medic and he cares a lot about his patients.

[thxforthememories]

i'm not either

i'm just a prototype

i plan to. i want to. other things have happened.

[raceme]

A prototype? You seems like your own person to me Kagerou. [Blurr smiles slightly.]

Ah right the whole mess with Prism isn't it?

[thxforthememories]

no. prototype

built for another. exist for another

. . .



yes

[raceme]

But you have your ^{own mind} right? I would say that makes you your own person even if you weren't one from the begging. It doesn't matter what we were made to be WHAT it matters is who we choose to be.


I'm sorry.

[thxforthememories]

yes. but i was made because of someone else. i exist because of someone else. that isn't something you can choose against.

you have to accept. i have. it's all right

[raceme]

I think I understand.

But my point still stand yous CAN be whoever you want.

[thxforthememories]

and if i choose this?

to be his shadow?

[raceme]

That that would really be your choice.

DID you?

[thxforthememories]

not then

Now I think i may

Don't know how to be anything else

[raceme]

Is not a bad thing to embrace your past if you think it would make you <sup>happier.

You never thought about WHAT would you be if you had the opportunity?</sup>

[thxforthememories]

it is all i have

... no. what point is there in doing that?

[raceme]

Then it's important.

Because no-thing is set in stone.

[thxforthememories]

this is.

i am what i am. nothing more

[raceme]

Alright then.
