re_alignment | [Video] [Transmitting from outside Haven]

[Wing appears over the link, the signal grainy and flickering. He's looking weary from the long trip back from the Badlands but with the barest hint of Prima's light in sight now, his relief is obvious. He can't wait to be home--that's he's starting to consider it home is a bit of revelation in and of itself--and touching the Link is the first part of that.]

Greetings all. We're safely on our way back from the Badlands, fear not. Now that I have Link access again I a few bits of business I'd like to attend to.

First off, know that phase one of the Rec Station is nearly complete. We'll bring you more details in the next few days!

Secondly, I seek some assistance from our medics, or anyone else that might be knowledgeable in the related areas. Let me explain.

The current configuration of my Cybertronian frame does not allow me to carry passengers. It simply wasn't necessary or useful previous to this. But now that there are more humanoids here I wish to be of better aid in this regard, which requires that I have a true cockpit that meets safety specs. _{And maybe a stereo system.}

[He's run into this convenience multiple times since arriving, time to do something about it! Plus he might have made a few promises to people...]

I don't wish to change my altmode or my frame entirely--[he cants his head as his thoughts side track] though I suppose minor upgrades could be considered if they were easy to do in the process [then a head shake as he pulls himself back to the primary topic.]--but I realize that our medics may not have the necessary equipment or resources to accomplish what I need entirely their own. So I plan to petition Solus for aid soon on the matter.

However...

Of equal importance is the safety of the passenger. So I also need data on the safety specifications and tolerances for transporting humans and other humanoid species: speed, altitude, temperature, air density and pressure, g-forces, and other relevant statistics. Given this data I will adapt all my flight protocols to take the safety of a passenger into account.

Any aid people could give me would with this be greatly appreciated.

[He seems pretty serious about this, not to mention eager.]

Thirdly, a few messages for folks I won't bore the rest of you with.

Vandal... am I correct in understanding that your wound is still not fully healed? I think my friend Korra may be able to do something about that and I'd like to introduce you two.

Korra, I have another human friend, Vandal, who was badly injured sometime ago. Natural healing for humans is rather slow from what I can tell. I know you can heal flesh with water bending? Is there anything you can do for her? I'd like to introduce you two if you are willing.

So why here...?

[He doesn't really expect an answer. It's meant to be more rhetorical, anyway. Just thinking out loud.]

If it isn't safe to be out there... then we're stuck here, waiting for an all-clear signal. Or something like that. Aren't we?

[That part he does seem to want confirmation on. More attempts to understand this world -- or the world in general, really.]

[But then he... stares. The one visible optic in his face gets very wide. If he were human, he'd probably have gone pale.]

You...

You were killed... too?

[Wing makes a thoughtful noise, humming, as if pondering that very question but having no answers.]

Essentially. They do call us Refugees. I don't think we're supposed to be here. I don't think anything that comes through the Lambda is, but where else is there to go?

[He nods, slowly, it's a painful memory.]

I...yes. [His expressions softens in sympathy.] Is that what happened to you?

... Home. Maybe. If we shouldn't be here... why aren't they working harder to send us back again?

[Not that... he's in any particular hurry to return to exactly when he was taken from.]

[And it looks like he's not the only one, either. He curls a little, arms folding, shoulders drawing in.]

I'm sorry... I... I'm sorry.

[Because he really has no idea what else to say to that. Or how to answer the question.]

... So... so they told me.

I've heard that it's not possible. To send us back. I think they've tried. I don't think the First Forged can control the Lambda.

[It's a mutual feeling. If they could go back...who's to say it wouldn't bet to the moment they were taken from?]

[His helm bows and he leans in, in the way one would lean closer to another for comfort.]

_{I am too Kagerou.} [For all that Wing knew his death had both meaning and purpose, and for as willingly as he'd given it...he hadn't wanted to die.]

[He nods again, a shadow falling over his face..] Drift...confirmed it for me. He survived the battle. I am glad for that, at least. [A weak smile.]

But we were brought here. It... if something can be done, can't it be undone?

[Maybe not. But, then again, if there were a list of things Kagerou has experience with, time-space distortions wouldn't even make the same page.]

[He stays hunched up on himself. It doesn't help anything, really, even if it feels more secure that way.]

I wish... I wish no one had told me.

[Frankly, he doesn't care how that comes out sounding. It would be better, he thinks, given what he'd been told about how he -- about everything.]

... and he's all right. That's... it's good to know that.
