Where: The Skies || Crater
When: Jetfire's arrival
What: Jetfire being a science nerd
Warnings: Shouldn't be any???

Crater

Now Jetfire doesn't quite believe in the supernatural. There must always be a reasonable explanation - through science first and foremost. This is why, even though he is clearly there and standing and not in five million pieces, he doesn't automatically assume some kind of miracle has transpired. He doesn't believe that there is an afterlife so that can't be where he is either. Igniting his thrusters, Jetfire hoists himself up to at least get out of the crater and to get a better viewpoint.

What the scientist sees should be surprising. However, it isn't. Jetfire can make an educated guess that this is Cybertron. The metallic terrain is all but telling. What he doesn't understand is why there are some signs of organic life. Jetfire wants to get some readings of this planet, this Cybertron. What could have changed the planet so to make organic life sustainable? His nature could get the best of him, if he allows his mind to continue. Instead he needs to focus on finding answers. Is this really Cybertron? If so, then how did he get here?

This isn't the first time he has essentially woken to a crisis after spending a lot of time in stasis. Granted, Jetfire isn't sure that this is the case, but that is the logical assumption. Someone must have been able to salvage something of him after the explosion. Fixed him up. There can't be any other explanation.

In Flight

What's the best way to get a good lay of the land? By taking to the skies, of course. Not only is this testing to see just how well Jetfire's systems are working. From up here, he can see the terrain and maybe find others. That isn't his primary goal. Jetfire is a scientist and explorer and socialization isn't his one of his skill sets. Still, there is something to be said about being in his alt mode and cruising along. If only he had a lab or something. The need to tinker with his sensors so he could pick up appropriate data is strong.

This is going to have to do. Traditional observation might suffice until he can work on some upgrades or something.

Threaded | Flat

A purple jet rolls down out of the sky, dropping into the air ahead of Jetfire and wiggling its wings in greeting before falling back to pace him.

"Haven't seen you around before," Slipstream calls over the space between her and the white-and-red... uh... plane thing? (She can't quite tell if he's supposed to be a jet or a spaceship, though she supposes it also doesn't matter much.

Hopefully, he'll feel the same way about the Decepticon markings on her wings as she does about what his altmode is supposed to be.)

"You new, or have you just been grounded?" she continues, tone more curious than anything else.

Starscream is doing his usual fly around everywhere when he picks up a familiar color scheme in the distance. It couldn't be, could it? But in any case he zips forward with his thrusters ignited to full power.

And inwardly embarrassing himself a little on how fast he jumped on this. When he gets near the creator and the figure there, he instantly transforms, though he stays hovering up high.

"Jetfire?!"

That certainly looked like Jetfire. But he got taken out in that explosion. Maybe this is another Jetfire and Starscream will just kill him.

Or maybe manipulate him.

Or maybe manipulate him and then kill him.

Best friend forever.

[Optimus had seen someone pass overhead, and for a moment, had considered it was just Starscream (or one of them). There weren't too many jets to take count of just yet (oh how wrong you were, Optimus), but white...that certainly gave a tip off.

But as it comes closer into view, Optimus can't help but narrow his optics in curiosity. This one was...certainly larger than Starscream, and vaguely familiar. He doesn't bother to wave him down, but he certainly gets to higher ground to be noticed, eyes firmly locked onto the jet.

If he was correct...this would certainly be a welcome face. He just hoped he was.]

aw yeah flying
