I mean, if that's what they said...
Out of curiosity, is there anything he can do with it beside taking it to J and asking them not to share the new tech with Hyathis?
Thanagatian officials: so you came back in time just to beat your self in to bloody pulp.
Give it to Swamp Thing, or J, or, actually, any of the Dominion's neighbours to help them defend themselves.
The transtector body doesn't replace any of his vital organs, especially not his brain. As such, his lifespan s unaffected.
This is the last line of the first paragraph. " mark needs to be deleted.
Not really there, he lasted until near the end when everything came out there.
I see the orientation briefings went well. Once the more rowdy recruits settled down, anyway. Hopefully they understand more about Humans and their culture now, and can avoid getting into too much trouble around the 'fleshlings'. Not least of which is not using that little insult around them.
Heh. All the convenience of home, eh? The basic Energon probably doesn't taste all that great, but a few seasoning tricks can fix that.
So, she's basically the team mechanic, right? Keep them operational between runs, and patch them up in the field? Getting scans for easier repairs, I suppose.
Wonder if the organic parts of him show up on her analysis or not. I'd bet they're safely shielded from such scanning methods.
Given the 'Junkion's reputation, that's not surprising. I bet some of them worry about waking up with bits missing...
Heh. Both of them got resparked, right? I wonder if they'll be able to bond over that shared experience.
Looks like Dreadwing wants to feel her out on that matter, then.
Even if the damage is repaired, the memory remains. I bet he needed a lot of patching up after a hit like that too.
I love that Axle's just testing Pull's articulation in the background. Kind of like what I do when I get a new figure out of the box. ...The joints can be a little stiff sometimes, better to loosen them a little, especially if they're on painted parts. And given the occasional quality control mishap like misassemblies or entirely wrong parts used, it can be good to know.
Yeah, lesson learned, huh? Strike first, talk after.
I see she hasn't got great memories of the former Air Commander either.
Good to see it's not a unique experience. I wonder if other returnees remember it, and if they've been talking to others about it. Could see a resurgence of religion amongst some.
Ah, I see. He's concerned that his brother's spark didn't find him? He was offlined for a while before getting Terrorcon'd, so that can't have affected it...
Could it?Ah, cybertronian names. They sound kind of odd when translated into English, don't they?
If they were, they'd probably be on the dead-inhabited moon of Cybertron.
Wasn't entirely intentional, what with the dimensional side-trip involved.
Honestly surprised he didn't.
Ah, check-ups. So annoying, aren't they? Especially ones involving a full physical.
Honestly, with all the 5mm connection points you have, shouldn't that be easy?
Seriously, her toy and its many mold-mates have the shoulders and legs attached by the same ports as their weaponry... Makes you wonder if anyone's tried making a combiner using them... Which is going to be interesting if they ever start sparking new frames instead of reviving old ones. A new generation of cybertronians...
Heh. She's got the 'grumpy doctor' attitude down to a T, at least.
Hmm... Did Dreadwing ever encounter the Silas-Breakdown combination? Wonder what he'd make of a human piloting a cybertronian frame...
Because his frame is too big for their seating, I suppose. Dreadwing is probably pushing the limit, but Pull would be even heavier.
Or to reclaim his frame and take it to be revived. I'm sure the Last Autobot could manage to purge the Dark Energon, though it'd probably be draining.
...That is a good question.
It would make sense that their 'hell' is the Chaos-Bringer's domain.
...I suppose revival would be a longshot, given the Autobot control of the process. Even with Megs trying to change that...
Thank you, corrected.
Someone should tell that to the group of humans that turned themselves into sparked transformers.
Probably just a narrow case similar to Qward tech, knowledge of sufficiently advanced technology that is indistinguishable from magic. I wouldn't be surprised if some Dream effect here festers in the wounds and crevices discussed, growing into a plant-dream entity, distinct from the magic entities like Swamp Thing.
I did read The Technis Imperative. That complete lack of resemblance it why it threw me that they're supposed to be the same.
And I am now picturing something truly horrifically eldritch now. Like, I don't know... Cthulu's naughty bits. And if you're now picturing it, I am truly, truly sorry for that.
And I get the feeling they're going to have to poke whatever it is in order to get to the bottom of this...Things certainly aren't humorous, though. I shudder to imagine the scale of it all, though.
I'm betting one or both of the Avatars ended up in there...
Though that's a completely natural reaction to... Whatever she's looking at here. I half suspect her brain really wants her to stop looking.
Oh, boy... A literal negative space wedgie.
And his ring promptly deletes it from his visual field. Or at least censors it out as a visual hazard.
And no doubt merrily producing defensive spores. Good thing they're in sealed gear.
Bit of an assumption, but given what he knows, a reasonable one.
Or, anyone, for that matter. You'd think if the Dominators were here, they'd be rather upset about OL and Bleez barging in, disguises or not.
...Has she even got anything left to bring up at this point? Besides her toenails.
Focus. Stick to just breathing right now. Don't want to accidentally speak the words that summon an elder god or something.
Well, technically she's blind right now, but given the view...
Don't Thanagarians have keen senses? Part of their evolutionary history as predatory lifeforms? Wouldn't be surprised if they weren't screaming at her to nope the fuck out of there.
Or, you know, the guards? I doubt the place would be left empty like this normally.
...Oh. They're in that mess, aren't they? This is totally a 'Cerberus Taco Cart' situation, isn't it?
Easy, big guy. First they have to work out which parts of that thing are her. Assuming she's even in there, which seems a safe bet.
Benefit of not having hormonal responses like humans do, huh? If it were any of us in that spot, we'd probably be buzzing with adrenaline right now...
I'm guessing as a result of their plant-based computers. Worrying that they were that up on the Star Mother, unless he means space itself.
So it's possible Swampy was sitting on his brain-booster throne thing, the Anti-Life hit, and he panicked and pelted himself out here. At which point things go all Necromorphy.
And a little besides the point right now. The problem is how to set things right and get everyone out of this.
See, that's a pertinent detail. And also, when was the last time he saw them?
No finding them and asking some pointed questions about what they were up to, for instance.
It's time to start looking for apocalypse logs?
I'd be worried about what the researchers are dreaming up in there, and whether you'll have to fight them.
Time to start poking the giant fleshy blob, then?
Concerning. Suggests it's too subsumed into the morass to be functional in its intended fashion, then.
Worst case, you distract the security protocols with intrusion prevention while you poke around.
I'd say put up some defences first, but I suspect he's already got everything he can set up.
Where are the researchers?
