THE CLINIC

Wandering through the destroyed city, Optimus took a moment to consider how getting suddenly transported to another planet was pretty high on the list of strange things that had happened in his life, a list that had grown much quicker in the past few months than he would have thought possible. This was certainly not a specific scenario they'd trained for at the Autobot Academy, that's for sure.

With so many buildings in serious disrepair, finding one that not only seemed intact but to have working electricity was a surprise to say the least. With some apprehension he made his way over to the building, cautiously sticking his head in the doorway and hoping whoever, or whatever, might be inside was friendly.

"Hello? Anyone here?"

THE CRATER

Optimus had left the clinic some time ago to try and get a better feel for the city. It was pretty unnerving how much the ruins looked like Cybertron, and the silence was starting to get to him by the time he made it to a huge crater in the middle of everything. An unrefined energon deposit? Just sitting here unguarded in the middle of the city? That was certainly strange. Even if there weren't many bots here, leaving a resource like that unprotected went against everything he'd learned at the academy.

He quickly made his way down into the crater, sliding down some of the steeper slopes to get to the energon vein, running a hand over the rough crystal with a frown.

/EXCITED ROBOT NOISES

[chickscream]

Slipstream isn't exactly helping out at the clinic, but she hangs around there, cautious around the Decepticons that pass through and casual around the Autobots. No one has even tried to shoot at her yet, thank the Allspark, and she's kind of... enjoying the company of people who don't have their heads and egos stowed up their afts.

It's weird, but enjoyable.

Even weirder, though, is hanging around the back of the clinic and hearing a voice she knows, the voice of someone from Detroit, and she metaphorically flies to the front, skidding to a stop and looking over the robot before her. It's someone who looks normal! An Autobot, sure, an enemy, sure, but familiar.

"You!" she cries, and lets a smile curve her mouth, red eyes bright. "I know you! Please tell me you didn't bring Starscream with you."

im sorry for this in advance

After the damage Megatron had done to Sentinel and rather unfortunately for everyone in the clinic, he's found himself needing regular check ups to make sure his organs aren't respaghettifying themselves. He's sure most would just prefer he drop dead, but, well, fuck 'em.

Unfortunately for Optimus, he looks into the clinic right as Sentinel is walking out after been checked over and told to bugger off by whatever medic saw to him. Like a terrible, terrible classic comedy, the massive Prime just about walks directly into him. He's used to looking down - both figuratively and literally - to see people, but not that far down!

but not this (also crater for this one)

Pipes hadn't expected anyone new to show up. He'd just thought it was the first surge and that was it, but evidently not. Not that it mattered to him - he's still delighted at the prospect of meeting anyone (who isn't Overlord) new.

He was looking around for more of the odd fruits to take back for the humans and saw a large red bot he assumed was the Matrix bearing Optimus. Like when he first arrived, he immediately runs over.

"Opti--" Wait. That shape is wrong. "Wait, what?"

CRATER.

[tomemyoutliers]

Shockwave's taken to surveying this Cybertron from the air - programs running to compose a map with notable differences in the planet; although he can't say anything interesting has come of it. It's better to keep busy and work on a solution than to do nothing, however, so he's been keeping himself occupied.

It's not the crater and the energon that draws his attention but the bot approaching it. That's a familiar color scheme if he's ever seen, although the bot isn't one he completely recognizes. Another one from a different universe. Well, he still should introduce himself, see how different similar this particular Optimus is.

Landing - and setting up a rather dramatic cloud of dust that, while great for atmosphere, just caused his paint job to become dimmer - he straights up with a grin and a welcome gesture towards the blue and red bot.

"Optimus, I presume? Or do you go by Orion."

CRATER

[targetlocked]

It's been a little while since Lock-On has been out here by the crater. She doesn't really expect to find anything new, having already scoped out the area when she first arrived on this not-Cybertron, but, to her mild surprise, she sees an unfamiliar figure seemingly inspecting the energon deposit in the crater.

She makes her way down the slopes, switching between modes as she deems appropriate, until she's within speaking distance.

"Hello," she says. "Are you finding this crater satisfactory?"

CRATER (five ever late forgive me)

[luckyfaceplate]

Optimus had been frequenting the crater a lot recently. Perhaps out of nostalgia, as it was the first place on this planet he had crawled out of, or perhaps because you can tell a lot about the planet from it. The foliage certainly still was growing, and provided an interesting mystery to work at.

As he kneels by the Energon pool, he can't help but notice something--no, someONE doing something similar. And...with a similar paint scheme too.

His brow raises as he tracks his gaze up to the bot's face, slightly intrigued by this stranger. Something was...awfully familiar.

"I see the Energon deposit has captured your interest as well, friend."
