Who: Jetfire & You
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.

haha man i don't even have enough icons for a full free account
She assumes literally everyone knows who Megatron is, because who doesn't know who Megatron is?
cries for us both
Instead of thinking about that too much, he goes for a lazy roll. He isn't the fancy flier that Starscream is. This flight is still meant to test things out all the same.
"So, tell me... What sort of Cybertron are we flying over here?"
it is okay friend we will carry on somehow
"Anyway, I've been told it's all war-torn and dead and empty. I don't have any memories of Cybertron to compare it to, so I've gotta take other bots at their word, but that doesn't seem too wrong, and I sure haven't met any bots that're from here, even if they're from a Cybertron."
very slowly
"Wonderful..."
Then something else strikes Jetfire as odd. No memories of Cybertron? How is that even possible? "Did something happen to your memory?"
/pats gently
Also, yeah, Nurse Megatron is the most hilariously terrifying thing in the universe, but Slipstream's been in too good of a mood to dwell on the bad parts of that idea. It could be worse, after all. It could be any other Decepticon ever! At least Megatron's got a good processor in his noggin.
no subject
He says it more out loud than actually asking. Musing! It's not really impossible, but it isn't exactly an easy task to accomplish.
"I had thought that the people would rebuild. Perhaps that is too hopeful of me."
no subject
It's not a secret, really, not when her loudmouth brothers have gone skittering all over the universe and gotten captured by Autobots and generally been useless. She's perfectly willing to let this big fellow in on how Starscream did it!
"And they are, I guess. Just not whatever people were here before." In jet mode, she can't actually shrug, but she manages to infuse shrugginess into her voice.
no subject
If only because he's curious. Scientist first and all. Maybe there's some sort of alternate energy source that is more cost effective. Given time, Jetfire likely could find something. However, that is not his primary goal. An increase in their population isn't the solution to aiding Cybertron at this point in time.
"I am Jetfire, by the way," he mentions. It's not as if he knows this jet. "I don't believe I recognize you at all."
no subject
Oh, she hopes he does an intense double-take at that-- maybe wobbles in his trajectory, maybe squawks a noise of surprise-- so she can laugh before forging on, "My creator got a chunk of the Allspark stuck in him, and he split shards off of it to shove into some protoforms to make me and my brothers. It was a pretty brute-force way of making us, but it worked-- if you don't mind that all my brothers are awful and we've all only got one personality trait apiece."
She does a gentle roll, falling back in beside him, before it occurs to her to ask, "You know what the Allspark is, right?" In a universe where Megatron tended to the sick, anything was possible, after all.
no subject
"I haven't heard of it, no," he admits. Hey, he's still lost in thought. "Are you sure you're in peak condition?"
no subject
It's even true. Having an open sky and no enemies to bother her, having company she doesn't loathe with every wire in her body, having conversations-- not being alone and hiding-- she's never been happier in her short, short life, and only her desire to not look silly keeps her from throwing herself into loops and corkscrews right then and there.
Her voice still full of laughter, she continues, "Anyways, the Allspark makes sparks in the first place; having a bit of it in my chest seems to work just fine. It's just a more direct path from energy to life, right?"
no subject
Five guesses as to who that might be. There's something about Slipstream that reminds him a lot of Starscream - that needing to make a shocking comment.
"Allspark, you say? I've never heard of anything other than the Matrix creating a spark - or something of equal power."
So no one has explained to Jetfire about alternate universes yet.
no subject
She tosses it out flippantly, and moves on to another topic, asking, "So, have you ever been to Earth?" If he wants her to go back to that thing she was talking about, he'll have to ask.
no subject
Jetfire doesn't really want to acknowledge that something like this is even possible without irrefutable proof. As a scientist, he needs to understand how this works. It makes him frustrated and it shows just a little with how he jerks in his flight pattern.
Earth. What a different sort of planet. Granted, Jetfire hadn't really had the opportunity to get to know any Earthlings or experience their culture. However, to say that he had been there for a while would have been a massive understatement.
"For a time I was on Earth, yes. It's quite... Different."
no subject
Ah, but much more interesting: Earth!
"It's where I've spent my whole life. I want to go back." Is that a note of wistfulness? "This place doesn't even have clouds to dip your wings in... though at least none of you Autobots care about me flying around all the time."
no subject
"Is there a reason why any Autobot should care?"
It's not as if Slipstream is causing problems, right? Surely factions can't mean so much in a place like this. Then again, maybe that is just Jetfire being too practical again.
