[ Video | Vector Prime's Temple ]

[For a moment after the camera clicks on there's nothing. No movement, no sound, just the view of what seems like an otherwise empty room as the camera sits perched on something--the bed maybe? After a brief bout of silence the sound of something moving around can be heard, an object being repositioned, and then a pair of ears would appear followed by a pair of red eyes surrounded by black, mask like markings. The eyes narrow as the ears flick then fall back, the individual staring at the camera before straightening up further, letting himself be in almost full view of the camera. Rocket's glare keeps up, the raccoon clutching one of his laser pistols in his hand as his tail snaps furiously back and forth, the irritation the furball is feeling quite clear as he outright sneers now, a chittering noise rumbling up out of his throat.]

I don't know what kind of farkin' joke this is, but someone other than some robotic worshiper needs to tell me what's going on before I start tearing this place apart. That thing was going on about me falling through some bloody hole in the sky and being separated from my world or whatever the fark it said--I don't care. Wouldn't be the worst thing that's ever happened to me so I want to know where I can find a ship.

[He waves the laser pistol at the screen a bit, tail snapping to the left sharply as his ears press flatter to his head.]

Mutt, Pete buddy, Groot--if any of you can hear me, I can't get my passport to work--

[Rocket motions to the bracelet cuff on his left wrist, practically sneering at it as he shakes his arm around a bit.]

Thing's farkin' useless here. I'll get back one way or another.

[His focus returns to the camera and he glares, pointing the laser pistol at it slightly.]

And if this is some bloody trick by those morons at the UCT, you can farkin' bet I'm going to tear this place apart--even those damn Cardinals of yours! 'I believe I can win'--go to bloody hell you worthless saps!

[The raccoon holsters his laser pistol, it's mate tucked away on his other side as he sends one last glare at the camera before hopping down off his perch, muttering angrily about churches and cults.]

[It'll take a lot for Jetfire to get angry, even less go on a murderous rampage... Which he's never done.]

Hopefully so, since there is some small possibility that Cybertron might simply produce at least basic factories as needed in time. The planet is still young and changing every day.

[Which was fascinating on its own, taking flights to see those changes.]

Ah... I'm unsure we necessarily exist in your universe, if you haven't heard of us previously. There are several alternate realities here where cybertronians come from, and as I understand it they've all been to Earth or encountered humans... and the one I come from has been to Earth as well.

[He pauses, and smiles dryly, gesturing with a hand out and palm up.]

And in none of them we've really stayed out of humanity's knowledge for long or in the end. Further, I've never heard anything about... er. Earth animals talking. If that's what you are, and not a species that merely has parallel evolution with a creature from Earth?

[He's not going to rule that out.]

Not from Earth.

[looks a bit offended by the suggestion honestly.]

I'm from half-world and the robots that ran the planet to take care of the humanoids there gave us animals sentience so we could rule the planet ourselves. It's why I assumed you were just a robot or something similar, no offense or anything like that.

[Because Rocket was use to all sorts of robots really; it was just hard to tell where the robots originated from sometimes. At least he wasn't Kree though.]

So this planet we're on is where you're people come from? Yeah the Guardians have definitely never been to a place like this before.

[He listens to the explanation in silence and then nods, resting his chin against a few fingers.]

Interesting. I apologise for assuming you were from Earth. I don't even know much of it, but it still seemed to fit what I've seen so far. Do you have any idea why they decided to leave and let you care for yourself? And how did they give you sentience?

[There's nothing else but curiosity behind the question, both because he does think it's only right they'd be allowed to live their own lives and... well. Because he's a scientist.]

At least this universe's variation of it, but no matter how many alternate realities represented here by various individuals, our home planet is always Cybertron.

From what we put together, they were just tired of being slaves to the humanoids. They were made and put on the planet solely to look after the individuals there and they just didn't want to anymore.

[Rocket shrugs a bit, tail twitching as he waves a paw a bit.]

So they dumped the responsibility on us and moved to the far side of the planet to do their thing. No idea how they did it, making us all smart and whatnot, but whatever they did worked well.

[He himself was no scientist so the hows of it all were a little beyond him. But he could at least explain the history of it all.]

So it's like a common denominator or something like that? Your Cybertron I mean. Interesting. [His ears flick as he strokes his claws along his jaw a bit in a scratch.] The ones I've seen all have common things in them too.

[And the history of it is interesting; while it can't of course, completely explain such things as the why and reasons for, except these extrapolations given.]

Interesting... Which would indicate they had some level of self-awareness. [Since it's hard to get tired of something unless you're aware of yourself... and aware of there being other things available.] So they left, and gave you the ability to self-determine... though with that would of course come the choice to actually take up that responsibility or not.

[It worked very well, which is impressive on its own, however they did it.]

It seems to be so, yes, that within whatever greater... hmm, "omniverse" that we exist within, the common point is our existence. [He sighs a bit, frowning.] And, extended from that, if it holds any truth, the existence of our creator, which would, if that is true be the actual common denominator.

Ah, which ones have you seen, and what have the common threads been?

[If you let him, Jetfire's curiosity and inquisitiveness will just kepe on.]

Those robots were really well constructed--they had to be in order to care for the humanoids properly. They just became a little too self aware and had that realization that they could be doing a lot more. Never really interacted with them much after they went to the other side of the planet. [He shrugs a bit, ears flicking as he listens to the other ramble in that science-y way.]

...I guess the creator thing might apply to you lot but I'm not sure how well that fits for those where I'm from. The whole creator thing is pretty......weird.

[Considering there were a lot of different creators.]

Ah, well, we actually had this giant chunk of ice come through a rift in time once and there was this bloke frozen inside the ice. Had Captain America's shield and that bloody thing pops up everywhere. [Frowns a bit, his tail tip twitching as he scratches at his chin.] It's usually items it seems like, at least when it comes to the ones I've seen. Though I heard that the Scarlet Witch was a common denominator in one..

And don't we all at some point come to that realisation? That we could... or at least wished we could do more than what we are? [Or get to do what one wanted to do, instead of what one had to do. Like participate in a war to keep a large part of one's species from attempting to conquer the rest of the universe...]

Mm, yes. This place, coupled with where I was previously suggests that there might even be several different... ah, "omniverses" if you will, which have different origins and some things that exists in one, may not exist in the other.

[Like who created what, etc.]

Interesting... Not... er, names? I recognize, so it seems when there's basic differences, they can be quite large. Distrurbances in space-time usual enough where you come from?

[Since he seemed to take this whole thing quite in stride and all.]

[Quiet for a moment before nodding a bit with a slight shrug mixed in there as well.]

I suppose so yes.

[Rocket nods some, crossing his arms as his tail sways lightly behind him, far less irritably than he had been. Congrats Jetfire!]

I've heard something like that before, from a bloke we Guardians crossed paths with before we were officially the Guardians of the Galaxy and what have you. And it's usual enough. Prior to me ending up here, my team and I were actually trying to stop rips it time from tearing apart space and time as we knew it after this horrible farkin' war that took place.

[Well, he is used to being patient in the face of short tempers or irritation.]

Ah, that's certainly useful to have confirmation from an outside source that the theory might actually be correct.

[No matter how much that seemed right as per what he'd experienced and the various people he'd talked to, Jetfire wouldn't assume it was without more than just his own observations to back it up.]

The war itself had led to some type of destabilization to create said time-space anomalies, or were they unconnected to that?

[Too interesting not to ask about the wider circumstances, though of course Rocket might not know... That doesn't stop him asking though.]

The war did it. The Annihilation Wave, which was this..armada I guess you could call it..they bloody tore things apart when they came through from the Negative Zone. Left all these tears in time and space and that's what we Guardians do. We close up those tears and get rid of anything evil that comes through them.

[He shrugged a bit, like it was not all that uncommon--something that maybe he was a little to use to.]

It's been a bloody tiring experience but someone's gotta do it.

The Negative Zone? [But, whatever it was, besides, obviously, another plane of existence of some sort, though the name did suggest...] Was it the entrance itself that created the destalbilizations, or the normal plane and this Negative Zone interacting?

[Yes, Jetfire may never see or observe this himself, but he was still curious as the slight forward lean and thoughtful tilt of his helm probably showed.]

It's commendable that you've been doing it, since despite the dangers to all, able or not, not everybody would be willing to do anything.

[He would rather not be apart of the war, but... One more pair of hands was one more pair of hands.]

[Rocket's ears flicked as he made a thoughtful sound, tapping a claw to his chin for a second.]

If I remember right it was a lil of both actually. The Negative Zone isn't really suppose to connect to the normal plane at all so when it did, everything just kind of went all bloody out of whack.

[That, combined with a massive fleet of ships, had made the entire event unpleasant as all hell.]

Yeah well, if it hadn't been for the Star Lord, none of us would have been doing a farkin' thing, sadly. Pete's got a way about him, this knack for pulling people together and leading. One of the few blokes I'll actually take orders from, so that says something.

Hmm... Would certainly make sense. Something like an opposite magnetic reaction as well as a binary agent reaction...

[Jetfire hummed as he thought and really, don't mind his thinking out loud. As Rocket continued, Jetfire shook his helm and focused back on what he was saying again.]

Ah. [He smiled slightly at that, helm tilting.] Often, a single individual is needed... Someone with the initial drive, strength and charisma. Sometimes - perhaps unfortunately - that individual will be needed thereafter to continue to inspire others, sometimes not.

In the end, what matters is that you did rise to helm him, correct?
