[Have a tiny Minicon, staring at the feed as if he isn't really sure of... something.]

I have been thinking, and something has been unclear to me. I cannot be the first to have considered the possibility, so I hope someone out there will help me to understand.

[He shifts with the drone in his hands, sending the background reeling for a moment before he sits himself up where he is.]

It seems common that we come from different worlds, but most of us seem to come from a Cybertron. We have different frame designs, different memories. That has been explained as a sort of parallel universe; I can see that. What I wish to know is if anyone here knows that at least one other person has come from their own world, their own universe's history.

[He hesitates, because it's been a long shot, but this next question is what he really meant to ask. He knows it's terrible to hope, and even if he isn't ready to leave this place, he needs to know that it could be possible.]

More importantly, if you do, do you remember a time when they disappeared from your world without any reason or explanation?

Re: [video] They've got us all fooled

[knight_light]

[His smile is a gentle one.] Try not to worry over it, Jetstorm...I believe that day will be a long time coming.

you know they do, but it will be a good death

[still_learning]

[But he is a little concerned, because there's something he's missing a part of here, and something Wing said got him to thinking again. Seems like that's a bad thing.]

You said we beat him last time. Did you mean the Miasma or something else?

Best fuzzy death ever

[knight_light]

...I meant Unicron, the one who's presence influences the Miasma.

oh god especially if Wing n Jetstorm team up with the kittens

[still_learning]

Right. They are the same. But the last time he was defeated, a Prime fought him with the help of the Allspark, and I learned that Unicron was not at his full strength because he was trapped within Megatron. I am concerned.

omg. That would be epic

[knight_light]

That must be a battle from your world. Here, in Haven, we faced Unicron before. Before the Miasma there was a great rend in the sky, the Lambda, a portal of sorts opened by Unicron as he tried to force his way into this reality. The First Forged were here to help us stand against him...most of them anyway.

[He pulls a vent.]

You see, when first arriving, the influence of Unicron was great. Without protection from the First Forged a person would eventually go mad. That protection manifested in the form of a glyph representing one of the First Forged. I had been claimed by Vector Prime. [His hand goes subconsciously to his shoulder, where his glyph used to be.]

When Unicron finally broke through the Lambda we were called by our First Forged to various areas to fight. Prima, Megatronus Prime, Solus Prime, Vector Prime, Alpha Trion, and Nexus Prime stood with us against Unicron. Liege Maximo betrayed us and made a deal with Unicron so he could leave us and this Cyberton to Unicron.

It was a hard battle, but in the end we won. [Or...thought they did.]

this world won't survive. they'll all be balls of squee forever

[still_learning]

[He listens intently, both fascinated and horrified by what he's hearing. He's young enough that he can't fully get his mind around the magnitude of what Wing's explaining to him, but he can appreciate it for what it is to an extent. All in all, it just leaves him feeling like he has a looot of training to do.]

How long ago has this been? The First Forged are no longer here, are they not?

But it would be a beautiful ending.

[knight_light]

For me? ....Less than a year.

For Haven? Apparently over six hundred years.

We had all gathered. The First Forged were going to send back anyone who wanted to return to their realities, with or without their memories of being in Haven as they each chose. Before they could the Lambda...exploded...many were lost, I do not know their fates, and others of us ended up here, in the future of the city we'd left. The First Forged gone, their temples nothing but ruins.

[Shakes head.] I'm not entirely sure what happened...

it would be, and everyone would die happy

[still_learning]

[There they go with that time travel stuff again. That sounds both amazing and awful.]

I hope that will not happen again. Our race has gone through enough, has it not? We did many terrible things, but will there be an end to it?

[knight_light]

I hope so as well. It is certainly not an experience I wish to repeat, and would not with on anyone else.

[Especially the mess they came into when they arrived....]

[still_learning]

[He nods and wilts a bit.]

But, it is different here, right? We still have everyone here, and we all seem to be on the same side, for the most part.

[knight_light]

It is different here. We’re on the same side, we’re one big team here. It’ll be all right, Jetstorm.

[still_learning]

[He's trying not to show it, but he's pretty worried about this. Not that any of his efforts are doing him much good. He doesn't want to see how bad it can get.]

I am glad for that. I do not want to see things get bad here again. Here or anywhere else. And I do not know how to stop it.

[knight_light]

I don’t think any of us really know how to stop something like that, but we all know how to stand together. We’ll be all right, Jetstrom. Already there are far more people in Haven now than before. We will be fine.

[still_learning]

[The look on his face doesn't change much, but he's reassured by this. And he suddenly feels bad about having let it get to him. He's supposed to be better than this.]

Thank you, Wing. I apologize for my moment of weakness. You are right.

[knight_light]

[He shakes his head.] No, don’t apologize.

We all have moments of weakness, and what matters is that we do not let them rule us. You’ve had your moment, and have you pulled yourself together. And in those moments that you find yourself overwhelmed or worried, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Sometimes working through those “weaknesses” requires a little help from someone willing to listen to them and speak a little logic and hope into our sparks.

[You’re such a hippie, Wing. But he really does mean it. He’s here for the little guy if he ever needs someone to help him, for any reason, with anything.]

[still_learning]

[That's not necessarily a bad thing.]

I am very glad to have anyone around who will listen. Only, it is not something I have been accustomed to having. If it is okay, where do you normally stay?

[knight_light]

[Wing is always willing to listen.]

I’m at the Hub, apartment 206 should you ever need me.

[still_learning]

[noddles]

Thank you, Wing. I will remember if... [wait] when I need to talk to you again.

[knight_light]

[Wing gives him a big grin.] Then I will talk with you again in the future, Jetstorm.
