I'd like to also start a project in growing trees on Cybertron. I don't know how well that would work, to tell the truth. Perhaps around the garden would be best. It would take sometime, but in the end, their growth would help improve organic life.

I... do have a question for everyone here. Is there any kind of spiritual presence on Cybertron? Is such a thing possible?

Perhaps that's a better question for the Firstforged. I don't know if asking the Cybertronians or humans would answer something like that.

... I was told there was a place they get their souls from. The Cybertronians.

But that it most likely isn't here.

What is this place that you heard of?

[thxforthememories]

He called it Matrix... and the Well of All Sparks.

Either one, supposedly.

I see.

Thank you. That may help.

[primianpolarity]

That depends on what you mean by 'spiritual'.

[Video][As private as Ashitaka can make this]

[elkmobile]

Lord Prima, thank you for answering.

Before I arrived here, I had been placed under a curse of hatred by a god.

[He rolls down his sleeve to show where his skin has been marked.]

The mark is spreading. Eventually, it will consume me and my soul, killing me. No normal doctor can help me, although I had... admittedly hoped that another god could help me.

I noticed the mark's growth has slowed since I came here, but it is still spreading. Is there some way for me to be cured?

[Video][UNHACKABLE here let Prima fix that for you]

[primianpolarity]

[...it definitely catches Prima's interest. he frowns a little...but not directly at Ashitaka.]

I would have to see this with my own eyes before I could give you an answer, Ashitaka.

[Video][UNHACKABLE Prima you're a bro]

[elkmobile]

I see.

Thank you, Lord Prima. Would you have time to spare for me?

[audio]

[megatronicpolarity]

Why do you doubt that it would be possible?

[You organics and your notions of machines being without souls of their own, tsk.]

[audio]

[elkmobile]

Because I notice there is a lack of gods on this planet.

[Not at all what he was gettin' at, bro.]

[audio]

[megatronicpolarity]

[Sadly, "a high opinion of organics" is very much not on the list of things Megatronus possesses.]

But their influence is still felt - the Badlands, the Lambda. Our very presence here. Were it not for the Haven, the entire planet would likely be lost to chaos.

[audio]

[elkmobile]

I don't doubt that. But the lack of them here is something of a concern.

Mnzzz... There is a garden?

[ quietly misses the point of this post?? ]

[elkmobile]

[Fortunately, Ashitaka just smiles and nods.]

There is. You look different from the others. Can you eat plants?

video

[murphyslaw]

[ HUFF. ]

Wazzzpinator can eat many things!

[ Paaause. ]

There are... food plants in this garden?

video

[elkmobile]

There are. I've been making soup out of some of them. Would you like to try?

[herodecoded]

If there is a spirit beneath this flesh, it is buried beneath the iniquities and toils of this world.

[Sorry, but Dinobot is a philosophical fellow.]

audio

[elkmobile]

Then you are little different from the rest of us, sir. I do not doubt the spirits and souls of the people here, not for a moment.

audio

[herodecoded]

I know not what lies in our sparks, all I know is the cold steel of the blade on the battlefield!

audio

[elkmobile]

Then you are a warrior. How do you not remain idle in this place?

[video] you can ignore if this is too late

[sword_redemption]

There was the Matrix. The Knights of Cybertron brought it. That's all we know--all we were allowed to know, really.

[video] never too laaaate

[elkmobile]

Kagerou did mention this Matrix before. I haven't heard anything about the Knights of Cybertron.

What can you tell me about both?

[video]

[sword_redemption]

The Knights of Cybertron. They founded our planet, and made us what we are. Then they left to spread civilzation around the galaxy. One of their relics is the Matrix.

[He shrugs, because this is the stuff that gets optic rolls back on the Lost Light.] The Matrix, they say, has the power to create life. Had the power. It...broke, saving us from an evil god.

[video]

[elkmobile]

[Ashitaka's expression is... hard to read. His brows knit and he lowers his head at the story about the Matrix.

Oh. He tries to not look crestfallen.]

I see.

Thank you, sir.

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Oh that would be good! Fruit trees would be nice. I will make sure to save any seeds from fruits if I find them, okay?
