[Video/Action] [Originating from Solian Temple]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

 [When Wheeljack awoke, it took a moment for those optics to adjust to the lighting of the temple. He hadn't remembered falling asleep...in fact, he couldn't remember what felt like a significant gap of time.  Maybe a few hours?  Knowing him, he'd probably had too much high-grade, as Wreckers do, and passed out.  But still, why was he here? This wasn't anywhere near the bar, nor would someone just give up when his (and Bulkhead's) room was only around the next couple of corners. That's just plain rude. 

But there was something else.  Something felt...missing. He couldn't place exactly what, but it sort of chewed at the back of his mind.  Figuring it was just him trying to remember the events, he shook his helm and shakily sat upright. Yep, this was the Solian Temple, all right. His eyes didn't lie to him.  And he's by the altar too. Just like the newcomers do. 

That was...interesting.  

He gave his arms a few flexes, making sure everything was still functional before he saw his Link lying next to him.  Oh, so they couldn't bring him to his room, but they left his Link just in case he needed it. That was nice.  He picks it up and flicks it on, eyes squinting at the light of the screen.]

So...who do I give thanks for takin' me home from the bar?

[Guess who's back, everyone!]

Wheeljack! You're okay!

[He can't believe it but he isn't going to complain either because holy crap Wheeljack!]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Hey, sport.

[Honestly, he only just remembered talking to you. And now he's talking to you again! This is weird.]

Didn't I just see you...the other day?

[shutupndrive]

Well you--kind of? It's..a long story. But what matters is that you're okay and you're here!

[You're alive, Wheeljack. That's enough for him. Even if you don't completely remember him.]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Well, guess that's true. No sense worryin' about the hows and whys, right?

[A slight chuckle.]

How long have I been out of it?

[shutupndrive]

A few days I think? Might have been longer? Everything's been so crazy with all the new arrivals and stuff that I haven't kept track of things all that well. Especially with Optimus here now.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

...Whoa, hold up.


Prime's here?

[shutupndrive]

Yeah! He arrived with the new group that came in!

[He pauses, frowning softly.]

..He isn't aligned to anyone though. It's..weird. None of them are.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

New group? Guess I musta...been pretty out of it.

[He doesn't recall any new group...]

Whattya mean? No temples for them?

[shutupndrive]

None of them have alignments apparently.

[Smokescreen shifts a bit.]

Including Optimus.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[He could tell this guy was an Optimus fanboy. So he'll refrain from any possible snarky attitudes.]

He'll fix the problem, kid. He always does...

[shutupndrive]

I hope so...It's just really weird, you know?

[But Smokescreen is loyal to Optimus and isn't going to let something like a lack of glyph stop him from following the prime to the end.]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

I think the weirder part is that we find it weird. Never thought I'd see somethin like no-alignment as out of the ordinary.

[Aw Smokescreen, you're such a boyscout.]

[shutupndrive]

...True. Everyone just seems so nervous about it--I guess it's not something that happens all that often?

[Yes, yes he is.]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

I wouldn't worry, kid. What's the worst that can happen? If anythin', a FirstForged can just put one on.

[Wheeljack problem solving.]

[shutupndrive]

....I really hope it's that easy. I don't want anything to happen to Optimus.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Like I said kid, Prime's a Prime.

Ain't got nothin' to worry about with him.
