re_alignment | [Video][Transmitting from outside Haven's Hub] (backdated to earlier this week)

[Wing seems all business when he appears on the link this time, datapad in hand to be certain he covers all his priorities.]

For those new arrivals who are not yet aware, there is lodging avaliable in the habitation wing of the Hub. The wing is not yet complete so we can't promise much in the way of luxury or creature comforts, but the construction is sound, secure and should meet basic needs. Feel free to choose an unoccupied suite.

One of the suites on the main floor has been reserved for medical services. Its not fully staffed however so if you need medical attention and a medic is not present you can use the Link to find one.

[And now second order of business.]

I'd like a word with any science-minded individuals. If you have the time and inclination for a consultation and potential project, please contact me.

[Locked to Jetfire]

I have a favor to ask if you are so inclined. Do you remember the conversation we had a while back about my altmode reconfiguration? I’ve spoken with Solus and she says she can help me but schematics are required. Do you think this is something you could help me out with by chance?

More haven't come, have they?

[He makes a face] I'm all right now, yes.

They seemed to filter in over the first few days...I just...can't believe how many there are.

[A gentle smile that you can hear in his voice.] Good to hear it. Any time you want a good experience with high grade let me know and I'll arrange something special.

[That's somewhat of a relief... and somewhat of a disappointment. Maybe he should just stop waiting. Stop hoping.]

Yes. There... is even one who I was told... they based it on my design.

[Not something he's shared with anyone else here.]

Something special?

Based on your design?

[He gets that there's some significance there, but not exactly understanding.]

Well yes. A small group of trusted friends, or just you and I. So you can experiment in a safer way.

Yes. [He hesitates. Even though he trusts Wing very much, this is something... very personal.] McCrane said... they used my design -- some part of me -- to create this Chieftain model.

There... was only ever one other unit to share anything like that with me.

[He doesn't say who. He doesn't think it needs to be said, at this point.]

You would do that for me?

Oh yes, the Chieftain. I helped him when he first arrived. [Wing tilts his head, curious but also cautious, since this seems to be a sensitive subject.]

...I can guess who. [A nod.] How does this make you feel?

[It really doesn't. Wing knows you well enough Kagerou.]

Of course I would. It's what friends do for each other!

[That and he feels a bit like your self-appointed guardian now: mentor, protector and friend all in one.

He mentioned you, yes.

[How does it make him feel? He's honestly not sure. But he answers as best he can.]

I... feel responsible, for him. It's not the same. But if he's based on me, then I need to do the same for him as I did... as I did another.

It's like I have a purpose again.

[One more thing he hasn't said to anyone else.]

Then, yes, I would like that.
