re_alignment | [Video | Alpha Trion's Temple]

[There's a moment of fuzz before the video actually settles and comes through completely, Smokescreen standing just outside Alpha Trion's temple, one hand resting on his hip as he holds the camera with the other. He'd been filled in by an acolyte, of course, but that didn't make him any less prepared to believe completely, meaning that he had to go out and see everything for himself. A part of him wanted to find Alpha Trion himself--mostly because he couldn't believe the other was still functioning--but right now he wanted to see if he could find any of the others.]

Smokescreen reporting in. Anyone from Team Prime out there? I figured it'd be best to touch base with at least someone before I started trying to just find you guys or something like that.

[Despite the odd nature of his situation, Smokescreen seems pretty relaxed--or he's at least keeping himself together pretty well because he's not really sure how he got back to Cybertron. Sure the acolyte had told him about that giant hole that was dumping people through but..that..was about as believable as saying Starscream had changed for the better. At least in his opinion.]

Arcee? Bumblebee? Bulkhead? Ratchet? Optimus? Anyone? Come on guys, don't leave me hanging please. I really want to get the real details of whatever's going on and you're the ones I want to hear it from. As much as I'd love to just believe this was all good and well and Cybertron was really in an okay state like this, you'll understand if I completely and totally don't believe it right?

[He's itching to go and do something, like always, shifting his weight back and forth as his doorwings twitch some.]

Calling all Autobots! Please respond!

[Um, okay. That sounds like his team.]

'Scuse me, question. How, exactly, do you know Team Prime?

[Team Prime? His name? He was this guy? He's certainly not familiar.]

How do you know know Team Prime?

[Hi Smokescreen, have a familiar face. ...though that's probably not the reaction you were expecting.]

Um...because I'm apart of Team Prime?

[Smokescreen eyes the other bot, looking him over a bit.]

Who wants to know?

[The rookie visibly brightens a bit, feeling a bit better now that he's seeing a familiar face! ..But then Bulkhead's response clicks.]

Bulkhead, quit messing around. I know you probably think it's hilarious to copy that other guy that just commed me but, seriously, I want to know what's going on.

Team PRIME? Arcee Bulkhead and Optimus are here but they might not be the ones you are looking for. [Someone talks really fast here.]

I am agent Blurr member of the Elite Guard an intelligence gathering body IT'S nice to meet you.

... Why more Autobots.

[Better yet, why more Autobots in the temple he's in?]

Easy there, Sparky. It was just a question. Name's Cliffjumper and...I can't say I've ever seen you around before.

Or ever.

Let me guess, you were hiding behind me the whole time. Now that would've been impressive.

Uh...[Bulk rubs at the back of his head, looking rather confused. He's silent as he tries to place Smokescreen, if he's even run into somebody by that name or look. But nothing's coming up.]

I'm not messin' around. I haven seen or heard of you before.

Cliffjumper?

[Hey, that's a name he's familiar with, at least in passing...or...conversations he sort of listened in on.]

You were Arcee's partner right?

[Smokescreen's expression falls, slowly but surely.]

...Bulkhead, that's not funny. I mean, we were just totally taking on Soundwave together.

[This can't be right. Why doesn't his own teammate remember him?]

[Smokescreen stares for a moment, processing what the other said before he gives a faint grin.]

Ah, yeah--what do you mean by that exactly?

[Suddenly what the acolyte had told him isn't seeming so crazy.]

Nice to meet you, Blurr. I think. Well, no, it is but this whole thing is really weird so sorry if I'm not all gung-ho.

'Were'? 'Were'? What's this 'were' stuff? I don't think I resigned from that position just yet. But yeah, you're close enough.

[Smokescreen glares a bit because even if he doesn't recognize the other, the symbol he's bearing says enough.]

To keep you in check, of course.

[....Oh...Awwwkkkwwarrddd.]

Um..I...well it was just something I heard the others talking about so I mean, I could have overheard them wrong. I just haven't seen you at the base so I mean, I assumed you guys were't partners anymore?

[Yeah, that sounded good, right? Smokescreen lifts his free hand to rub the back of his neck a bit, suddenly feeling really uncomfortable.]

[Huh, well that's weird. He normally doesn't try to make other Autobots uncomfortable on purpose.]

You okay there, buddy?

I'm the last mech that needs to be kept in check...

[Except when he's hungry. Maybe he can just eat this guy. He vents a sigh. Probably not.]

I'm already doomed to die, so stay away from me. Stay out of the halls... Just move to another temple.

Please.

What? Yeah! Of course! Totally fine!

[He puts on a big grin that might be a little fake but hey, he can roll with it.]

So are the others here?

........You....are a really lame Decepticon.

No need to shout, we can hear you just fine.

Though, it would perhaps do you some good to specify which Autobots you're searching for. Several different time-streams and universal representations are present in the area designated "Haven", along with Decepticons hailing from similar circumstances.

Now then. Given your basic structural design, I'm inclined to believe you aren't attempting to hail myself, though I have been mistaken previously. Regardless.

Perceptor, here.

I could talk about ripping bot apart, but I'm not here to be nice.

... I'm serious about moving to another temple.

I've seen Arcee and Bulkhead. Ratchet was here but...

[His cheerful demeanor grows a little colder and his expression turns angrier.]

...he turned tail and ran.

Heh. How about...not.

[He glares, leaning in towards the camera a bit.]

If anyone should leave it's you! I've worked with Alpha Trion before, he was my mentor! You're a decepticon! You shouldn't even be walking the halls of his temple let alone saying his name!

[His optics flicker some, confusion appearing on his face.]

Wait, Ratchet..ran? That--are you sure?

....Um...what? I named names, I didn't realize there was something else I had to do if I wanted to contact my teammates.

[Confused rookie is confused.]

Perceptor? I've heard that name before. Never met the bot it's attached to though.

Yes, I'm aware. I did the same thing upon my arrival and received nothing but confusion. Apparently there are multiple individuals sharing the same designation here. Two Ratchets, two Starscreams, and so on.

[Sorry kiddo. Perceptor... talks a lot.]

Have you now? Interesting. I've met one other sharing my designation, but he lacks a good many design elements you and those responding to you appear to share. Therefore... I can only assume he isn't from where you come from.

Might I inquire as to what it is you've heard?
