[ 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...

um excuse
He tilts his head, visor brightening. That's a smile for those with no face.
"Dead Cybertron aside. You know, you look familiar. Have we met before?"
no subject
After all, all doom and gloom didn't get them anywhere. Prowl being Prowl didn't help. Perhaps if more people were like this guy here, then things wouldn't have gotten out of hand on Cybertron. Did it really matter, though? Everyone was alive and hopefully well.
"Name's Bumblebee. You?"
no subject
"Bumblebee? Like, leader Bumblebee?"
Shit. Shit. "Uh, Pipes. Sorry for the. Informal. Ness. Sir."
no subject
"It's fine. Don't worry about being all formal and stuff."
No one else did and that suited him just fine. Bee wasn't a real leader. Not now anyway.
no subject
"You stayed behind on Cybertron after the Lost Light left, right? How'd it go?"
why is it dead again bumblebee did you FUCK UP
no subject
"I'd rather not talk about that. It was a mess."
Is he still bitter about everyone leaving? Hell yes he is.
no subject
Pipes, no. Don't make jokes like that.
"Well, we're here now. Might as well have a look around."
Look he wouldn't have left if Cybertron didn't SUCK okay
no subject
See? Bee can make jokes too, Pipes. Knowing that people are fine and that the universe is going to continue makes it easier to tease.
"All right, Pipes. Lead the way."
no subject
He doesn't lead, so much as fall into place next to Bee while they're walking. Maybe it's symbolic, maybe Pipes just doesn't want to catch bullets with his face if he's in front and they get attacked.
"So... uh. Any idea where on Cybertron we are?"
no subject
"No idea," he admits. "It shouldn't be like this at all. Terraformed, remember?"
Most of the planet is wasteland and living flora that wants to gnaw on their plating.
no subject
Cause u know they sort of totally ruined Cybertron.
no subject
Oh yeah. Bee is going to go there. With the teasing.
no subject
He puts a hand over his visor, looking into the distance, "Just hope there's enough grip to climb up the sides..."
no subject
"I really don't want to take another tumble. Do you?"
no subject
Yeah, this doesn't look good.
