[ 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...

Bumblebee hearing anything is probably enough to make him jump. The area looks abandoned, right? Noise means that something is going on or that someone else is close by. That means there's only one thing to do, being the idiotic noble thing that he is and that is transforming and zipping off towards the sound.

He stalls seeing who is stumbling around. That guy is supposed to be dead too. Bumblebee knows this. He had been there. He had seen it all go down. However, Bee isn't sure how to take it all, you know? he, himself, is supposed to be dead. Metalhawk had been dead and then brought back to live... So why not Sentinel?

Either way, it doesn't matter. Bee is transforming back to his robot form and makes his way to the once Prime.

"Sentinel? Are you all right?"
staygoldponybot: best friend i ever had (i once worked with a man for three years)

are you sure it's not masochism

Well, it hurts like a BITCH but Sentinel hates showing weakness, so.

"Nothing I can't handle," He'll just elect to ignore all the horrible energon and broken armour. Okay. Okay. "What's the situation?"

Please, god, tell him you know what's going on, Bumblebee. Please.

"Because anyone can handle leakage all over the place..."

It just sort of slips out. Bee doesn't mean it intentionally. He cringes, knowing that he could get a look for it and frankly? Bee doesn't want to explain. Exactly.

"Where? Cybertron... When? Can't be sure. Time and space don't seem to matter much here."

It does get him A Look. He had noticed he was leaking everywhere, thanks. If he starts getting swimmy, Sentinel decides, he might make an effort to collapse on Bee. Asswipe.

"And how did you come to that conclusion?"

Despite his accusatory tone, he's actually genuinely interested. All he did was show up then get blown up.

This time it's Bee that gives Sentinel a look.

"For starters? I'm dead. You don't take a blast to the spark chamber and live," he snorts. "Then there is the fact I ran into Optimus earlier. He explained what he knew and filled me in on what happened after."

"Dead."

Oh, good. He's found a crazy person.

Bumblebee is giving Sentinel another flat look. He isn't insane.

"Boy have you got a lot to be filled in on... Four million years worth of history lessons. I don't envy you that."
staygoldponybot: (i don't like giving speeches so i won't)

[personal profile] staygoldponybot 2015-02-10 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
REALLY

"Someone will have to tell me. I don't see anyone else."

Which is probably bad because he is still bleeding a lot BUT YA KNOW

About that bleeding...

"Stop for a moment. I can at least try to stop you from losing all your energon before we can find anyone else."
