[Leviathan is at the junk pile, perched halfway up a large pile of scrap as she takes a break to post on the Link.]

Hello everyone, I'm in need of some help. I'm having some trouble finding the type of fuel that I require, and because of my rationing I don't have enough energy to go out and explore the junkyard very often.

So I'm hoping someone has seen some of these there.

[She holds up a blue jar, about the size of a soda can, with a glowing green crystal floating in the middle.]

I've heard some of the other robots were modified to accept energon. I'm not sure how viable that would be, considering that I'm much smaller than the other human-made robots around here, but it would be easier than having to hunt down energy crystals.

You may want to consider moving onto an energon engine, little bot. I haven't seen that kind of fuel before.

VIDEO;

[glacius_passio]

I would like to, I'm just not sure how easy that would be.

And admittedly, I'm a bit cautious about letting anyone poke around my internals.

VIDEO;

[engrishdetective]

Oh, I get that. I really do.

But it's that, or starving. Give it a thought, hm?

[video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

....what's in it for me?

VIDEO;

[glacius_passio]

Yeah, I know. But I'm sure you understand my hesitation about having someone modify when I don't know them very well.

Have you been modified to use energon?

[video]

[glacius_passio]

[:|]

I suppose I would be willing to return the favor at some point in the future. Though there are limits to what I'd be willing to do.

[video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Limits? [Oh Whirl likes limits. Those are the things he likes to push.]

[video]

[glacius_passio]

No killing, no stealing, nothing like that. Nor will I do anything that could result in someone being hurt.

Of course, this is completely dependent upon whether you actually find any energy crystals for me.

[video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

....you are precisely zero fun. [The only thing less fun than you is Ultra Magnus and he's like Absolute Zero Fun.]

Hey before I look I want to know if I'm wasting my time. I don't need to blow hours of fuel and flight time to find you a rock so you can, I don't know, dust my living room or something.

[Unless maid costume.]

[video]

[glacius_passio]

I'm plenty fun, there's just a limit to how much dirty work I'm willing to do for others.

There's lots of other things I can do for you that don't require me to hurt anyone or take someone's things. So it's completely up to you whether you want to have a favor banked or not.

[video]

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Oh! Hey I've snagged a couple of those! I didn't know what they were but I thought maybe someone else would. Thought they were maybe a weird type of energon or something. I've found three.

I can totally keep an eye out for more for you too! I'm in the junk pile a lot, so I'm bound to run into at least a few if they are out here.

[video]

[glacius_passio]

You do?

[She sounds really relieved.]

Oh, that would be such a great help. I was a little afraid I was going to run out of my rations.

VIDEO;

[engrishdetective]

True. I wasn't... really into the idea at first. Then I found I didn't have a choice.

Mm. I have. It was a pretty easy process for me. Give it some thought, will you?

[Video]

[actionshortshorts]

That's really pretty! I've seen some glowing rocks around here - uhm..

[Yuuta reaches into a pocket and starts digging around, eventually pulling out a couple pebbles - he went around collecting them after meeting four - pretty things really were everywhere if you looked!]

[He holds up some of the more fluorescent ones, although they're not much bigger than a good sized marble.]

Do these look familiar to you, Miss?

VIDEO;

[glacius_passio]

I'm starting to feel that I don't have much of a choice either. Starvation or modification...neither are particularly appealing.

[She grimaces slightly.]

Thanks for the advice. I'll weigh my options.

VIDEO;

[engrishdetective]

No problem. Good luck in your decision.

[Video]

[glacius_passio]

[Leviathan shakes her head.]

No, energy crystals are much larger than that.

[Video]

[actionshortshorts]

[Yuuta deflates, sorry to have let the other down.]

Ah, alright. I'll keep looking then! There are a lot of glowy and sparkly rocks around here!

[You've just gotta keep trying!]

[Video]

[glacius_passio]

Thank you for trying though, and for being willing to help. I need all the help I can get to find them.

[winged_knight]

Hello, I am Wing. You're trying to locate more of your fuel type correct? I believe I saw something similar while searching for other resources. Sadly I did not have the space to carry them at the time, but I can at least give you an idea where to look.

[He transmits some coordinates within the Junk Pile.]

I can even come out and help you look, if you'd like. I have a few free cycles.

As for fuel conversion, yes, one of our medics has successfully performed conversions so that Earth mechs can refuel on energon. I don't know if that would be possible for you, but I can introduce to Ratchet, the medic responsible, at the very least.

[video]

[glacius_passio]

Oh! Well thank you, Wing. That would be really nice of you to come out here, but only if you want to.

Ah, I know Ratchet. Someone else told me he might be able to do it. I've been meaning to go and ask him in person, but I haven't made it over there yet.

[video]

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Yeah, where are you? I'll stop by and drop them off.

Hey, we are all here together, none of us should have to starve, no matter what we need to keep fed.

[video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Yeah makes total sense.

You know, someone gives you fuel so you don't die or anything, get prissy about thanking them.

[What's that saying? Beggars can't be...what now?]

[video]

[glacius_passio]

[She will be as prissy and choosy as she wants.]

If you're getting whiny about me refusing to do dirty work that'll get me into trouble, then obviously I shouldn't be offering favors to you.

I'll go ahead and starve.

[video]

[glacius_passio]

I'm on the north side of the junk pile.

[She turns the Link so Miko can have an idea of where she's at.]

That's a rather refreshing attitude. It's been a while since I've met people so concerned about those they don't know very well.

: [video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[And Whirl will be as crazy as he wanna be *gang sign*]

Yeah, see, there's the thing. If what you're asking for was easy, sure. If it's hard, not so much.

Eh. I'll keep an optic open.

[video]

[winged_knight]

I'd be happy assist you, I know that fuel can be an issue of great concern. I can meet you at the coordinates I sent if you like?

If I may ask, how great is the danger is for you, if you run out of fuel? [Because he already knows how life threatening lack of fuel is varies greatly between the other mechanical life forms here.]

You could ping Ratchet over the Link as well, though he'd likely need to do exam to help you regardless.

[video]

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

[Oh she recognizes that area pretty well, crawling all over here seemed to have some advantages now.]

Oh I'm not too far then, I'll come give'em to you right now.

Well, we are all kind of stuck here, stupid not to care, if you as me.

[video]

[glacius_passio]

Thank you dear. I'll be waiting.

[Why are all the humans here so sweet and caring? Leviathan feels a little overwhelmed.]

That's a very good point. Sadly I know a lot of people who wouldn't share your thoughts.

[video]

[glacius_passio]

I'll meet you there, then.

I'll go offline. And I really don't want to be offlined if it's at all possible to avoid it.

Thank you, I'll do that.

[video] -> [action?]

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Be there in just a little bit.

And I'm sorry to hear that.

[True to her word Miko came over the side of one of the junk piles, navigating the stuff easily enough.]

Hi there. These are yours.

[She holds out the crystals she had found.]

[video] --> [Action]

[winged_knight]

Go offline? [He looks more than concerned at that.] If you don't mind my asking...is that a recoverable state? I know for some, it is not.

I'll be there shortly.

[video-->action]

[glacius_passio]

It's possible, but the revival of Reploids was considered highly taboo on my world, so I don't know how one would go about doing it. I'd assume an emergency transfusion of fuel might work if given soon enough, but I'm not an expert.

[As soon as she's done, Leviathan heads towards the coordinates Wing sent her.]

[action!]

[glacius_passio]

[Leviathan sighs and smiles in relief as she takes the crystals.]

Thank you so much. It's good to know there are actually some out here.

[action!]

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Your welcome. I will keep an eye out for more, but... if they don't show up enough, is there anything else I should watch for?

[Action]

[winged_knight]

[As usual, it takes Wing little time to get to his destination, given his jet altmode. He easily homes in on the coordinates.]

Reploids? So is that what you call your...species? [He's fishing for an appropriate term, and decides on what might be least offensive is incorrect.]

[Action]

[glacius_passio]

[When she sees Wing, she waves and smiles.]

Yes. We're robots that look and act exactly like humans.

[action!]

[glacius_passio]

Hmm, good question. I can't really think of anything at the moment, but I'll let you know if that changes.

And since you were nice enough to come out all this way to help me, is there anything I could do for you?

[action!]

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Alright.

Oh, um... nothing I can really think of... oh, unless, if you are going to be out here searching too, could you let me know if you find music equipment?

[action!]

[glacius_passio]

Alright, I'll keep an eye out.

[action!]

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Thanks~!
