[Video] [Transmitting from: Haven's Hub]

[winged_knight]

[The camera comes on and there’s a beat of hesitation. Drift is not known for leadership skills. But he’s trying. Because Ultra Magnus’s chiding last time had stung. He hadn’t stepped up. He wouldn’t make that mistake again. He glances over at Wing, as though waiting a cue and receiving a minuscule nod.]

So, we have some new arrivals. Who arrived just like we did, apparently: in the Junk Pile, with no one to meet them and help them.

Their immediate need is for safety and food and lodging. They’re our responsibility. They’re ours, in many cases. We need to come together to help them.

[He steps back, looking a bit worriedly at Wing. For all Wing's weary appearance--pale optics, limp pinions and audial flares that look woefully crumpled--he still gives a reassuring smile and steps forward.]

We'd like to invite these new arrivals to Haven's Hub. Much of it is still being built, but there's a bar that's almost finished where you can find sustenance and a place to rest in safety until we figure out something better.

To find it from the Junk Pile, point yourself towards the light coming from the mountain to the south--that's Prima's Temple. You can find the Hub on the outskirts of the Junk Pile on your way there.

We're all refugees here so it's nothing fancy, but it's fuel, food and shelter if you want it.

[Wing smiles more brightly this time, returning to Drift's side.]

Know that you're welcome.


Locked to Swerve

Swerve, are you still interested in manning the bar for us? I could use your help if you're so inclined? Ah, ASAP if possible?

[He really looks like he needs a nap. And probably should not be pouring alcohol.]

I am having Hot Rod develop a total list of new refugees for me. Those without the glyph. Names, primarily. Organizational purposes only.

AUDIO;

[winged_knight]

I see. Hot Rod? Is he one of the new arrivals?

Organizational purposes? We're definitely going to need somewhere to start in figuring this all out.

AUDIO;

[thehardway]

He is. He's-- it's complicated.

How much space does the recreational center have for all of these refugees? We have several, and the count is growing.

[Locked to Drift and Wing]

[vandalization]

I can offer basic repairs and checkups to anyone who needs 'em.

[Locked to Drift and Wing]

[sword_redemption]

We'll need you here. [A wry smile.] On the plus side, you'll be close to the alcohol?

[Locked to Drift and Wing]

[vandalization]

You know me so well.

That would be lovely Karrie.

Do you know if the Chieftain got taken care of? It was the wain hours of this morning before we got him over to Solus's finally, only to find out he couldn't enter medibay.

There may be other who are injured as well.

[vandalization]

Not sure. I've been all over the place honestly. It's kinda been chaos.

I think everything is somewhat under control though and it's starting to slow. I checked most of the newbies and most declined any medical attention, but there's that guy and one Decepticon I think who needs help still.

So, what's the deal with these Firstforged not letting us into their fancy as hell temples?

VIDEO;

[sword_redemption]

I don't know. [Drift frowns.]

But I stayed in the temple of a First Forged who wasn't mine and...it comes at a pretty high price.

VIDEO;

[forcowardice]

That's... okay, that's really dumb. Sorry, I-- that doesn't make any sense to me. I haven't even seen these Firstforged guys yet and they're a big deal and all, but.

[Not really impressive, what he's heard so far.]

[chatterbot]

Course I'm still interested! Why would I not be? Pretty much done with the thing I was doing before, so just lemme leave a note for Trion about Tailgate and I'll be down there ASAP.

You look terrible, by the way. When's the last time you went into recharge? [TACT]

Audio - Private;

[winged_knight]

I didn't want to assume. I'd be grateful though if you would.

[A rueful chuckle.] Is it that bad? I got a few hours, um, this morning?

Audio - Private;

[chatterbot]

[There's a bit of a break, the sound of some metal banging around, and then a few miscellaneous noises, like writing and then transforming and driving.]

Already on my way, so it's too late to change your mind.

Not completely awful. I've seen worse, but you know what they say. Different make-ups, different modes. Few hours this morning, but how long before those?

[patriarchic]

What's in it for you?

video;

[winged_knight]

[Wing tilts his head.] Do I need to get something out of it?

If so, then satisfaction that I've done the right thing and helped those that needed it. Were I in your situation, it's how I'd want to be treated.

[sword_redemption]

He's a Decepticon, Wing. It's...it's the way we think.

video;

[patriarchic]

[He squints] You're not in my situation--and I don't see a brand on you. Bot or Con?

[Video]

[bladesbot]

Is there anything I can do to help? [That doesn't involve flying?]

[Video]

[winged_knight]

Hi Blades, thanks for offering! [Yes easily. You might not like it much though since it involves digging through trash.]

Well, first thing that comes to mind if that we're going to need more supplies for this many people.

Highest priority is fuel for those that can't take energon, which we'll have to forage for in the Junk Pile. Human food and gasoline similar to what humans have used in their vehicles. There may be other types but I won't know until I know who all the new refugees are.

You can also direct any of the refugees you see out there to the Hub.

[aerospacecommander]

Well, aren't you just the good Samaritan.

[winged_knight]

The good what....?

[rednotbluethx]

Dis sit-chayshun has the possibility of turnin' into one Pituva party.

Comm me when people start gettin' overcharged an' things are explodin' an' fembots are shakin' their weird kibble.

[engrishdetective]

Chieftain... after he's repaired. Maybe he should stay at police HQ. I'll talk to Boss.

...Wing?

[winged_knight]

That might be better for him, since he's more familiar with you and seems to have a bond with Yuuta.

Gunmax?
