[The video clicks on, showing Exsilium’s two resident Cybertronians in the frame. Occupying the top half of the frame was Nova Prime, standing behind Rodimus with his arms crossed and a vigilant look in his optics.

He appeared to be rather calm considering he’d been managing on a damaged supporting joint. Cybertronians weren’t built any less hardy in the ancient past, it seems. His voice is clear and sounded rather authoritative as he makes his demand:]

The services of a specialist with mechanical biology are currently required.

 

[As much as he agreed to let Rodimus handle the… recruiting, he wouldn’t stay entirely silent. Whoever would repair Rodimus would look at him as well, and he would need to be considered worthy.]

[Rodimus, however, isn’t anywhere as confrontational as Nova - he’s looking to just get himself repaired rather than be picky about who’s doing it. Only being able to use one arm is the worst.]

That’s probably asking for too much - so anyone who knows how to repair machines who doesn’t mind a crash course in synthetic life and won’t make a broken joint or gun wounds worse will work. I [A pause as he begrudgingly corrects himself] we’d like ourselves repaired as soon as possible, but if anyone’s still on the moon, it can wait a day.

 

[He can’t believe he’s having to ask for medical attention, but desperate times on Earth away from the Chief Medical Officer call for desperate measures and all that. He does, at least, look like he’s put out about it.

And, as an addendum:]

Hey Ella, do your powers cover paint?

[For the bare metal the repairs will probably leave behind.]

((Tags will get replies from both bots! Blue is Nova, red is Rodimus.))

[ohr]

But I wanted to use this chance to make you a totally fabulous shade of pink.

[ Not really.

Well, maybe. ]

[Excuse me Rodimus. He's not having a fit but he likes to know who is doing stuff to his body. Especially non-robots.]

[Don't mind the squint, Ella, he just isn't used to letting humans do stuff to him.]

Who are you?

video

[ohr]

Ella Ellis, just like it should appear in your tablet. And you're Nova Prime, which is a pretty cool name.

[ Intimidated? Who? ]

Re: video

[gunwings]

[Commenting on his coolness wins Ella acceptance points. The stare eases up a bit.]

Rodimus mentioned you had powers. That is what I am interested in knowing.

vdeo

[ohr]

Oh well, I'm God. Like when we puny humans say "Oh My Gawd!"

[ She even raises her arms and makes high quotation marks. ]

Yeah, that's me. Well, at least back in my world.

video

[gunwings]

You are the human's god.

[He can accept a paint job from the human God. Good choice, Rodimus.]

I am a descendant of Primus, our own creator.

[Nova Prime says this like discussing gods is a completely normal topic of conversation.]

video

[ohr]

Yeah, in a way. Not entirely, or not yet, mind you. I'm getting there.

[ Maybe, if she doesn't die. ]

Really? Sounds like a pretty big deal. Are you like, royalty?

video

[gunwings]

The lineage of Primes can be likened to royalty. We are connected through our link to Primus.

[Since they technically don't have parents and all.]

It sounds like the human god has a lineage to follow as well.

[If she's 'getting' there, she sounds like she's next in a line.]

video

[ohr]

Can I has how are...you guys born?

[ Made? Manufactured? Ordered? What's the word? ]

And uh, it's a bit complicated. Actually is pretty damn complicated, but trust me, there's not a lineage per se. Just a bunch of unfortunate events.

video

[gunwings]

We are forged.

[Are you in the mood for a little theater? Because that question always gets Nova's hammy grandpa gears turning.]

From the core of our planet a pulse wave of energy is released and activates a garden of life, a hotspot, with sparks emerging from the ground en masse.

These sparks are later harvested and given bodies to house them, made from the molten metal of the planet itself.

( WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO HIMMMMM no one believes in the legacy of Primus anymore after their run of AWFUL PRIMES )

Only if you're really religious.

video

[ohr]

I'm not really? Although I didn't know a thing about robot religion until now, so hey.

video

[tilallisoverused]

Absolutely not.

( would Arcee kill him for taking her color? proooooobably. )

I like the colors I am now.

video

[ohr]

Oh well. Worth asking.

[ Hers is a devious smile. ]

So is this guy like, related to you?

video

[tilallisoverused]

No!

( do you see the panic on his face, ella? )

There's no way I'd even want to be related to him. Not with his legacy of galactic conquering and squishing organics underfoot. Not to mention everything that happened with the Dead Universe.

( rodimus is aiming for another 'lesson' at this rate. )

Re: video

[gunwings]

[Rodimus he's standing right behind you.]

[tilallisoverused]

( someone please send help. )

[gunwings]

Rodimus speaks of my corrupted self that occurs in the future. Nemesis Prime.

I only know of his actions through what he has told me.

[Nova Prime hasn't done any conquering or squishing yet!!!! That's in the planning stages.]

[PS you're dead if you keep this up.]

[ohr]

Uh...okay? I must admit, I didn't expect to see the Evil Twin card being used here.

[gunwings]

There are no 'cards' being pulled. Rodimus informed me that I adopt this name and do those deeds in my distant future.

I do not appreciate being attributed with actions I did not commit.

[He's not denying it'll never happen. It totally might! But he hasn't done it yet, so he's doesn't want to deal with backlash for something he didn't do (yet).]

video

[ohr]

Are you being panicky or are you actually not related to the guy?

video

[tilallisoverused]

Actually not related. Really, we're not.

( the only thing they have in common is that they both have the Matrix affinity, he swears. )

video

[ohr]

Uh-huh...alright.

[ Fishy, but she won't push. ]

Let me know when you want that paint job.

video

[tilallisoverused]

As soon as we get repaired.

video

[ohr]

Gotcha.
