[Please, have Alpha Trion sitting at a desk, looking very distinguished while he sorts through a stack of datapads and musty-looking books.]

Hm.

It seems that I may have...misplaced...something.

No need for alarm, it's nothing pivotal this time.

[He looks around the library, managing to appear only slightly less sheepish than he feels.]

However, given the recent events, I took the liberty of checking for the Tome of Possibilities, and...ah.

It wasn't there.

[Oops.]

Has anyone noticed any missing pages floating--perhaps literally--about?

Barring that, could anyone give me a list of what has changed?

[If he couldn't get the pages back, he might at least be able to set a few things to rights. Maybe. Hopefully before there was any major damage done.]

[He doesn't answer right away. No, saying 'no' right away would be the healthy thing to do.]

[He actually has to think.]

...

No.

[Oh thank everything. A rational decision.]

No, I wouldn't.

Then everything will be as it was.

[Congratulations, Kagerou! You've passed a milestone in your development.]

[Maybe one day he'll actually outgrow his ridiculous obsession...]

And that's for the best. Isn't it.

It is. Even when it isn't what we're really wanting.

It does mean you'll have the opportunity to work toward what you want, however, which always seems better than having it magically granted to me.

You assume what I want is something that can be worked toward.

Isn't it?

Unless I can work toward seeing him again... then no.

It isn't.

As it happens--you can.

I'm confident that the portal can be mended, and entropy seems to have something to do with it.

The more we build up Cybertron, the more likely it is we'll be able to send you home.

[He's just gonna assume that your 'him' is back there.]

... The more we try to restore your world, the more likely it is you'll send us back?

Right where we were taken from?

The more you can help us build, the more likely the lambda will stabilize to the point we'd be able to send you back.

[Theoretically.]

If that is what you want.

Are you building, as well?

[Sharply:] No. I don't want to die.

We are. It is our primary goal. [Next to stabilizing the Lambda, but the two were connected at least.]

Ah.

Well, then, you are welcome to remain here as long as you wish.

What are you building?

... Is... there no way to go back... to another time?

We've been working on constructing the interior, and on exploration, and I myself have been working to interpret the teachings of the Covenant.

We have to be certain everything is ready, before we can fully prepare the surface for whatever populace is to come.

[He considers your other request, however.]

I don't see why not, if that is your wish. [Especially if it will prevent your death.]

... The interior? The Covenant?

[WHAT DOES THAT MEAN...]

You're sure?
