✘ tf: fall of cybertron | perceptor

video | Trion's temple

[Oh, hello there. A robot with an accent. And... a face that may just be vaguely familiar to some. Even if the rest of his frame... isn't. It's sort of huge.]

Cybertron. Or so I'm told. One might almost mistake it for another world entirely, when it lacks the gratuitous explosions and warships. That said, I'm not entirely convinced. Is this truly Cybertron? And, if so, how is it the planet appears... so much more intact than it conceivably should?

[Is he talking to himself, or to the Link? Hard to say.]

Which brings me to yet another issue with the current predicament, I suppose. Optimus? Ratchet? You were here a moment ago, don't tell me you've been left out of this nonsense.

[Because that's just not fair.]

Once more. Optimus? Ratchet? ... Jetfire? This is Perceptor, and I would appreciate a status update, if you've time in your terribly crowded schedules.

[The last comes out more than a little irritated. None of this makes sense, and that is a problem.]

[That can't be right. You look a lot like... No way.]

Perceptor.

This is Ultra Magnus. Perhaps you can attempt to describe to me what your universe is, ah. Like.

Commander?

[And you look a lot less... glowy than usual, sir.]

What sort of description are you looking for? Physical, political? A generalized summary of current events?

Ah... Another one.

[ HMM. ]

Greetings. I believe I am your alternate.

Edited (ALTERNATIVE ROCK) 2012-10-05 04:04 (UTC)

[... whoa.]

[Now this is something he was not prepared for in the slightest. He stares at the feed for a moment, before recovering.]

Alternate? Another one? I... you'll have to elaborate, I'm afraid.

Physical. I imagine the politics are little different. There are some consistencies.

Ah, well.

Significantly more devastated than this one. More developed as well, if you could call over-sized piles of rubble development. Though, for all intents and purposes, the planet is, as someone of a more medical persuasion would put it, 'clinically dead', considering it ceased producing energon some time ago.

As far as Cybertronians themselves, all are fairly varied in design, though we share similar construction elements -- the light panels along various bits and pieces, the involuntary motion of devices such as wheels and wing panels. Altogether not terribly dissimilar to your own build -- though you... do look a bit different than last I saw your workup.

Does that help, Commander? Or should I continue?

Due to the nature of the Lambda, there are occasionally 'multiples' or different 'versions' of the same individual from differing timelines or universes. You are the third Perceptor to make himself known on the Link.

[Blah blah blah explosions, existential questions and all that other jargon. This is a human girl, Perceptor.

Enjoy it.]

Oh my gosh you're British.

Different versions...? Yes, that would explain the structural differences, wouldn't it.

Go on. What exactly do you know of this Lambda? They weren't entirely forthcoming when I asked elsewhere.

[Because you got huffy at the acolyte, Tankceptor.]

[... you're tiny, you're pink, and you look like nothing he's ever seen before.]

And just what are you?

It would appear to me a rip in space-time, connecting various universes through an anomaly which just so happens to open directly above this version of Cybertron. Currently there is no known way to travel back through it to our respective points of origin.

Me? I'm American.

Well, technically Japanese...but...born in America! But that's not important right now.

Quick! Say-

EUREKA!!!

No, that was helpful. Suffice it to say, I am not the Ultra Magnus of your universe. However, that should hopefully not discount my ability to command and direct appropriately.

I haven't been here very long myself, but I am attempting to organize laws and an enforcement team. Other details might be better fulfilled by others. For example, your alternative self who is from my universe.

In space-time? I'd thought such a thing was purely theoretical in nature. [He tilts his head.] ... though, given our current conversation, it would appear I'm entirely mistaken.

Has anyone attempted, and yes, I'm aware of how preposterous this sounds, simply... flying back through the anomaly? Provided, of course, it's something that can actually be reached by physical means.

Your species is... american?

[Kay you're not helping.]

... Eureka?

You certainly sound like the Magnus I'm familiar with, I'll grant you that. Excepting, of course, far more mentally sound -- though I suppose I can't blame him...

Ah, yes. I'm speaking with him at the moment. Fascinating, really.

What...? No! I'm human.

[Hey man, you asked.]

AHHH! Thank you!

Now go "NNNNGGGHHHHOOOOOHHHHHH!!"

[She's getting sound clips of this.]

Human? Elaborate, please. I've never heard of such a thing.

... Why on Cybertron would I say something like that?

You don't know what a human is? Wow...every other robot does...

[She gives a little giggle.]

Because you sound like my friend. I miss it when he'd make noises like that.

I've never seen anything like you, no. I would certainly remember a species such as yours.

Are you completely organic in composition?

[He just shakes his head. Sorry, Kay, he's not doing it.]

Uhm...I guess so! I'm not made of metal, if that's what you're saying.

That... would be fairly close, yes. Your body is not made up of any inorganic material, such as metal, plastics, glass, rubber, lubricating fluid, or fuel.

Uh...nope! None of that stuff. I'm more of a meat and bones kind of girl. Organs and stuff.

... Fascinating.

And your entire planet is like this?

As far as I know!

But we have metal things too, like cars.
