Another update so quickly!

Jazz taking control of Perceptor's movement was unexpected. And Perceptor felt resigned at that... he probably thinks Jazz did it because he didn't trust Perceptor anymore. The link doesn't go two ways does it? Perceptor can't feel Jazz's emotions.

I love how Team Monolith interacts with each other. And how Cav feels about making Cep and Tonic leave early. Have I mentioned that I love Perceptor's nickname?

“You going soft Cav? You were almost nice to junior there.”

“Almost? I thought I was nice.”

“Too much intimidation cost you the full nice and gets you almost.”

I loved that part. And the part where they were discussing the third team's name.

I was a bit surprised though at the length of time between Volatilus' introduction and that fatal attack. I'm probably remembering wrong (I have to go back and re-read previous chapters) but I thought the two events happened at about the same time.

The uplink seems to be coming to an end. I wonder how, when it's over, they will react to each other. I hope Jazz remembers to give control back to Perceptor. And I bet Perceptor is going to have a serious headache from having all his firewalls broken like that.

Another excellent chapter!

Regarding time frames, you can again take a look at my working notes. They are better at conveying what I am picturing since I have been trying to keep the math pretty general in the story (it’s hard enough working in vorns as it is). The math has been a pit to work with so it is entirely possible I messed up somewhere (a reminder to myself why I need to stay away from “epic” stories, though this has indeed been fun). My intent has always been that the third gestalt is several thousand vorns younger than the first two, who why'll still a good thousand or so vorns separated in age themselves, are still similar in age by Cybertronian standards and have known each other for a very long time by the time of the third gestalt. My notes carry more specifics, but again, for better or worse, I have tried to be general when it comes to math in the story and that may come back to "bite" me. The potential for spoilers in my notes still holds true until the end of the next chapter though, so be warned if you choose to go look. As they are "working notes" for my continued reference when writing this, I found I needed a bit more detail in regards to ageing the gestalts, so added a section to keep my head (hopefully) clear on that.

Thanks, I enjoyed writing the little snippets of the team interacting.

Thank you for reading and commenting.
