[ INTRO LOG ]
You don't know how you got here. One minute you were walking, sleeping, maybe dead -- then you're here, your feet suddenly carrying you down an empty street. Where's here?
Any Cybertronian would recognize this as their home planet, Cybertron, but it's not a Cybertron they've ever known. It has all the familiar hallmarks, but none of the specifics -- the city isn't one anyone here could identify, and even at a glance it's obvious that no one's set foot on the planet's surface in hundreds of years. The city and its surrounding areas all bear the marks of devastating war, of dust and rust collected over centuries. With no one in sight -- right at first, anyway -- there's plenty to explore. In fact, if you start walking, you'll find that your feet may just carry you in one particular direction.
A) The crater.
On one edge of the city is a massive crater left by some wartime weapon that seems to have taken out a large chunk of the surrounding metropolitan area. At the center of the crater it's broken through the surface of the terrain to reveal what looks like it might be a promising energon deposit. There is some strange but native vegetation growing around the edges, too, that no Cybertronian would be able to identify -- small, metallic, brittle-looking sprouts that bear a curiously organic-looking fruit of some kind that doesn't look like it's intended for consumption by any natives of the planet. In one rocky nook of the crater, light catches on the surface of a pool of water, which seems strangely out of place on Cybertron. On closer inspection, it seems that somehow an underground water source has formed a spring in the crater.
B) The center of the city.
If you follow where your feet seem to want to carry you, you'll find yourself in the middle of the ruined city. It seems that the center of the city was once home to a massive forum, and some of the pillars and structures still stand. At the very center of the forum is a massive, elaborately constructed fountain, although it has now long since run dry of whatever used to fill it. One of the low, inner walls of the forum has a terminal embedded in its surface, although it looks curiously ancient, out of place with the rest of the city, and unlike the rest of the technology still left around, there doesn't seem to be any way to power it on or operate it. There are a few scattered pools of water and a few of the strange metallic plants in the city, too, but they're not quite as plentiful as in the crater.
The planet was obviously once home to a massive network of communication relays, but those have all been long since destroyed. However, with the bits and pieces left behind and a few determined minds, it wouldn't be too hard to build a working, if rudimentary, one...

"I thought you were dead....sir."
Look, miracles CAN happen.
Unfortunately...
no subject
"You thought wrong, moron." Look he's in a BAD MOOD and you are NOt HELPING nerd
no subject
"...I should go."
Yeah he's just going to try and escape this now while he still has a chan--
no subject
"Go where."
no subject
"Where...ever doesn't get me killed."
Yes. That was a nice safe answer.
no subject
Ordering people around probably won't work here. Good job Sentinel isn't the type who would abandon any dead weight!
Haha, wait
no subject
Because when you're Teebs, you'll do anything for a pat on the back. More than Rodimus gave him, anyway.
"You're looking....lively."
no subject
Like seriously what did you think he'd be DEAD or something jfc
no subject
ABOUT THAT...
"You...want to scope out the landscape? I mean, get a vantage point."
no subject
Can you tell he is in a bad mood
no subject
How does he approach this delicately...
"There's something you should know about the Decepticons..."
no subject
"What."
no subject
Trailcutter briefly considers not telling him. Then again, not telling him would mean he might get outed later. That'd be worse.
"The war's kind of...over."
no subject
"What war?"
...Yeah. He thinks he was gonna be successful in taking Megatron out.
no subject
"Megatron kind of...started a four million year long war."
Guess who lost, Sentinel. Guess who lost your little cockfight.
no subject
That upsets him on a number of different levels but unless Teebs was suddenly a master at reading the subtle changes in his tone and expression, he'd never be able to tell the emotions Sentinel's currently feeling.
"I see."
That's all he really has to say.
no subject
"...So. Routine patrol...."
He claps his hands together, awkwardly.
Yeah, topic change sounds good.
no subject
It just gets better, doesn't it?
no subject
No this is absolutely the worst possible thing. How does he even start this.
"You're not going to like it....but you...died."
no subject
Oh no is that... an emotion? Is Sentinel perhaps making it clear he's rather unhappy about that?
No, not really. He just looks as angry as before.
no subject
That's right. Optimus Prime.
Let that one sink in.
no subject
"Hm. A full war?"
AMAZING JOB, OPTIMUS
no subject
WITH ARMOR.
no subject
"Yeah...four million years long."
Everytime it's said, it feels so deadpan. As if it was no big deal.
no subject
"Have you come off the tail end?"
Like, four million years as far as Teebs knows, or...
