[video - open to all - originating from Nexic Quadrant]

[It's Slipstream, Cybertronian Seeker with a light-teal and violet deco. Thruster repaired, she's hovering within the void of a crater. She attempts to sound pleasant, though whether she's successful is arguable.]

First off, any of you big bots or fellow refugees seen parts of this planet not littered with piles of scrap or marked with so many stellar craters. [Sarcasm: it is thick here.]

No offense to the big bot. The neighborhood looks to be undergoing some urban renewal, and offers all kinds of nostalgia for bots with experience in mining or demolitions. There's even attractions for the organics, like the ice hockey rinks. [Meaning the icy surfaces in the depths of the craters, images of which she's broadcasting.] And there's plenty of available residences in secure, well-shielded excavations.

And, second, since it's been established we weren't collected one from each universe, anyone noticed an exceptionally charming, handsome, egotistical, suck-up of a Seeker skulking around? If he's not in a pile of scrap waiting to be recycled, he's probably making a nuisance of himself!

You might say he looks something like me. [She gestures to those parts of her own body corresponding to her description.] Extra-broad shoulders. Strong- jaw. Amber canopy.

[Slipstream crosses her arms over her cockpit canopy. Lip components press together in something near a frown.]

It's not like I need to find him, or he's some great leader, or useful. But, I might not mind knowing if he's around.

Demolitions, ya say?

[That caught his attention. If it involved grenades, he was all on board. Maybe he could even take Raf to the 'ice' to skate or whatever. The kid needed to get out more anyway.]

I'm not sure if you're complimenting or insulting this Seeker of yours.

I fit a few of those qualities. Mostly the charming and handsome ones.

I don't know you, but you're perfectly welcome to come home with me.

Yeah, probably. [It's a pretty quick, casual answer; she hasn't been there long.] Craters, ejecta.

Let's just say you can punch him, if you find him, Jackie.

[So much dull surprise. What even is this bot?]

Apparently.

Fast, too. Where is it you're calling home?

[That last part causes him to chuckle.]

Already met that quota. Do I get an award?

You saw Starscream here?

Well...yeah. Saw a bunch of em, actually.

[Never thought he'd say that in his lifetime. He really hoped he didn't.]

But there's one that kind of resembles you. You know, aside from the actual class. Kinda pink-coloured?

Bunch...? [Even working with the theory that there were multiple universes, and multiple Cybertrons, it hasn't yet occurred to her that there would be multiple Starscreams.]

And the universe didn't implode?

...

Magenta. Silver and magenta. Black accents.

None taken.

Well, there's always this, as well.

[Elita's voice is seemingly disembodied, dryly amused as she lets the video record right from her visual feed, which happens to be at the Haven-end of the approach to Solus' temple. It's a large expanse of mostly flat ground, with large, craggy outcroppings thrusting up as if pushed from the inside... which they probably have been, due to the earthquakes in the area.

The temple on the other end looks rather stark, but surely it can't be all that bad, right? She then switches the feed back to th inbuilte computer/comm unit on her arm, so the view is of her upper body instead of what she's seeing.]

I think everything around looks different. Can't say I've seen the mech you're talking about, though.

[She shrugs as she starts to walk again, privately hoping that inside won't quite look like this... Though, she doubts it would, considering their "hosts" has to live here too.]

[ Ratchet is very audibly going to smack his hand against his face and growl. ]

Don't even think about it, Wheeljack. I know what happens when you get too happy with your grenades.

[ Sorry Slipstream, Ratchet isn't going to let a Seeker know what he looks like if he can help it. Maybe later if he finds out you're an Autobot (or, at least, a neutral) ]

Everything thus far seems to be scrapped or cratered, except for the Temples of the Firstforged. With that said, I've met a few Seekers, but you all look alike so it's hard to tell which one you're looking for. What's his designation?

[Eep.]

Gentrification only makes sense, right? Automaton plant closed? Workers left? Grab the land while it's cheap. Give everything an upgrade. Attract the bots who find towers so passe. They open trendy oil houses and shops for fashionable mods. Suddenly, you've got equity!

It'll be nice, when you're finished.

That's- different. [Her tone says 'not really'.]

[Is that a Solian glyph? Slipstream's seen at least one of those.]

Guess all those sorta- vents make it a good place for forging. You met your host, yet?

[Blurr never got to interact much with this particularly clone of Starscream but it's easy for him to tell

Arentyouacharmingone? No I haven't seen Starscream IS THERE a particularly reason why you want him around em>or is that you clones are attracted to the original somehow?

[Oh touché; go for the obvious knock on the popular body type.]

Right?! We only have completely different decos! Are you processing in grayscale?!

If you'd met him, he'd tell you his name; he's kinda full of himself!

You seen many of the temples? Any apart from the ones forged out of the ground, or dug into the side of a crater?

[Oh, great, it's Agent Zippy who so cleverly put together how Starscream had put his AllSpark fragment to use, and got thrown through a spacebridge with two of her fellow clones. Look how thrilled she is.]

Never mind my reasons!

And, speaking of clones, what happened to the two you sailed through that spacebridge with?

[Elita just chuckles, the panels on her back shifting slightly instead of a "proper" shrug. And it is, indeed, a Solian glyph, even if it's... harder to see against Elita's pink colouring.]

Probably. Some of them seem more like natural features. Earthquakes, probably.

[She nods, paying more attention to where she's walking now rather than Slipstream... and no matter if she takes this over-ground path or the underground tunnels... this walking is going to get annoying fast.]

At the junk pile, yes.

[She still wasn't sure what to think, except for "impressive" and "left an impression".]

Seeker, eh? Can't say I've run across any Seekers myself, much less ones as, ah, robust as you seem to be.

[The 'shrug' she gets, but she's not sure what to make of the body type in general.]

Cyberquakes, even. [It's a joke, not a good one, earthquakes with the small 'e' is probably most accurate.] Don't you drive? Hover? Something.

She seems generous, but I can't say she's the most friendly.

[Didn't someone describe a red grounder to her? Oh, Korra. So, potentially this is Knock Out.]

Robust? You got a problem with big bots?

[Huff. She's the smallest Seeker; Skywarp just looks smaller because he cowers all the time.]

... I suppose, yes. [Maybe not a very good joke, but Slipstream does have a point, so while Elita's smile is fleeting, it's there.] "Metalquakes" if we're being general, but Cybertron is singular enough it should probably be the first if we're not using earthquake.

[She's not serious, but it's an amusing conversation, so why not? At the question, Elita frowns and then shakes her helm.] That's not what my altmode's for, no.

[Technically, there's no reason to be evasive about her altmode, but considering the situation, she's not sure how much she wants to give away... and to what seems like a Decepticon, she's rather sure.]

I found her pleasant enough; she had enough patience to answer any questions I had, anyway. Hit a bad spot, perhaps?

[She's not smirking, but her tone might lean towards more bite than just a friendly question; more teasing.]

[He's an intelligent agent for a reason, you know.]

Too late for that.

And why should I tell you about them exactly, Decepticon? I'm not going to share vital information or information of any sort in fact with a known enemy.

Edited 2012-06-28 16:08 (UTC)

Hardly seems fair to compare the quakes, given the differing densities of 'metal' and 'earth', but this Cybertron is rather unusual, not actually being Cyberformed. [Just casual small talk.]

You considered a closer temple, given you're walking?

It's not that I have anything against your host, there. Just...don't suggest her ability to create things relies on mere technology.

Oh now, no need to take a offense. Did I say that?

I'm just used to Seekers being, y'know. Svelte. [His hands describe a shape that's wide at the top but rapidly narrows.]
