[ 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...

Oh boy, Sentinel turning around and raising his arm actually gets the System to pull up her own weapon and train it on the Cybertronian. And it's still has the weapon aimed to fire even as the taller machine is looking at it cockheaded.

"... You are not hostile?" The voice is female sounding, as it narrows it's eyes in a sort of confused glare of sorts.

"If I have no need to be."

He'll be calm and not blow your head off as long as no shots are fired. "State your designation and function."

And the System won't fire unless Sentinel attacks first, thank god for small mercies. It does blink at the question though, wing kibble twitching a bit as though it's deciding on just what to tell the giant thing in front of it.

"... Miria, The Guardian," she answers, giving the nickname the scientists who made her gave her and the title she was giving before her mission that she had finished before ending up here.

HE IS NOT THAT OLD

"Guardian," Sentinel squints, "Elaborate."

It's too small to be a Primal Vanguard...
system_dp: (Default)

HE IS OLDER THAN HER.

[personal profile] system_dp 2014-12-28 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Miria tilts her head, confused. How do you elaborate on something as simple as 'Guardian'? Well she'll give it a try, as she absently picks at a part of her arm that isn't covered in red or white plating (aka a fleshy looking bit).

"This unit is the Guardian of Earth," a slight pause. "At least that is the title it was given before this unit left on it's mission."
staygoldponybot: (I LOVE NOTHING)

oh pshaw only by like a few million

[personal profile] staygoldponybot 2014-12-28 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Earth..."

Sentinel's never heard of that planet. So, naturally, he doesn't give a fuck. Evidently this is just some sort of survey drone. He remains expressionless, tone flat: "Fly back to your home, drone."
system_dp: (Default)

that's still old as shit, gramps.

[personal profile] system_dp 2014-12-28 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Miria blinks and... doesn't move.

"This unit is called Miria, not drone," why yes, she did just fucking correct Sentinel Prime. She don't give a shit. Also what kind of survey drone is armed?! "Also this planet is not within this unit's database, thus it is unable to return on a proper course without multiple variables that may result in this unit becoming damaged."

A pause.

"Or lost."
staygoldponybot: (clear alcohols are for rich women)

[personal profile] staygoldponybot 2014-12-28 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Sentinel stops listening after 'not drone.' He doesn't care.

Welp, time to step on her and be done with it.

[personal profile] system_dp 2014-12-28 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
For claiming to be not hostile, Sentinel is making a pretty damned hostile move here. And Miria's options are few if she wants to not take damage to herself or cause more damage to the area, so she goes with the quickest one.

That is activating her laser/beam sword and aiming to stab Sentinel's big ugly foot with it as he's attempting to step on her.
staygoldponybot: (keep your tears in your eyes)

Wow his feetsies are cute as hell!!

That small sword going into his foot hurts enough that he doesn't actually make the stomp, instead veering to the side like what the fuck

If his movement yanks the sword out her grip, he'll pull it out and fling it away as far as he can. If not then... he'll try to grab it anyway. Thanks he wants that.

[personal profile] system_dp 2014-12-28 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
They're not cute when they're trying to stomp on her!!

Yeah, the sword is kind of built into Miria's body so the movement actually jerks her along with the foot. Which probably looks hilarious to anyone who may be watching these two, and actually makes Miria frown. Yeah she's not used to fighting other giant robots.

And man, him trying to grab the weapon just gets her to turn it off and attempt to get out of arms reach.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFINE he'll just try to PICK HER UP in one of his GIANT GOLDEN PISSBABY hands instead.

[personal profile] system_dp 2014-12-28 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
THE HELL MAN?!

Yeah, he gets her by the arm with his big stupid giant reach. But she does have another arm, which she is going to use to try and shoot at Sentinel to get him to let go.
staygoldponybot: (i don't like giving speeches so i won't)

[personal profile] staygoldponybot 2014-12-28 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
No sell, buddy. You might want to fly away (or go for one of those joints).

She can't really transform with him holding onto her, so flying away is not an option for now. And hell yes she's aiming for what could be weak points, like joints.
staygoldponybot: (sting like a bee)

[personal profile] staygoldponybot 2014-12-28 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Sentinel has a better idea.

He's going to throw her at a relatively nearby rock HOW ARE THOSE REFLEXES
system_dp: (Default)

[personal profile] system_dp 2014-12-28 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
THAT IS UNEXPECTED!

But as soon as he's let go of her? She's transforming into her jet mode and flying off.

If Miria knew curse words she'd be calling Sentinel an asshole.
staygoldponybot: (cultivating a manly musk)

[personal profile] staygoldponybot 2014-12-29 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
He watches her fly away, vaguely disappointed he didn't get to break her in half.

Oh well.
