[Phoenix is back to normal, and his injuries are gone as though they had never been. That would be disconcerting enough as it is, but the memories are still fresh and clear ( Read more... )

phoenix will never forget, they never prepared him for this, uncharted depths, a captain must go down...

You uh...

You... functioning... again?

ecopiracy March 9 2010, 05:54:30 UTC

Yes, I am. Thank you, Ironhide.

[A faint smile crosses his face that might translate into his voice.]

Did you know? I had no idea what kind of being you were the last time we spoke. Was it the same for you?

heavyweaponsbot March 9 2010, 06:03:50 UTC

Hmnf.

[It's Ironhide-speak for "You're welcome."]

Yeah. I thought you were Cybertronian. Never knew what an organic really was... not back then.

ecopiracy March 9 2010, 06:15:52 UTC

[Phoenix lifts an eyebrow.]

Nothing organic? Not even insects, plants, or animals?

heavyweaponsbot March 9 2010, 06:22:39 UTC

Nothing. Were there any mechanical organisms on your world?

ecopiracy March 9 2010, 06:30:20 UTC

Actually, yes, though nothing quite as advanced as you.

...how odd. I honestly cannot comprehend a world without any organic life whatsoever. No microorganisms? Bacteria? Amoebas?

heavyweaponsbot March 9 2010, 06:39:50 UTC

... Really?

Uhh. Ratchet... would know about that kind of thing. Not me.

ecopiracy March 9 2010, 07:25:57 UTC

[He still hasn't ever spoken with this Ratchet. Hmm. Someday, he really should.]

Yes. I think I even heard rumors of one that raced in Kras - one of the cities in my world - but not being from there, I cannot confirm it myself.

heavyweaponsbot March 9 2010, 11:07:15 UTC

Huh. Racing?

Far as I know... only organics back then were from off-world. Caused nothing but problems.

ecopiracy March 9 2010, 13:43:51 UTC

[Phoenix tilts his head.]

What sort of problems?

heavyweaponsbot March 9 2010, 20:51:11 UTC

They wanted the All-Spark. Source of life for our race... and they attacked often to try and get to it.

ecopiracy March 10 2010, 00:29:04 UTC

[That... doesn't quite make sense to Phoenix. He furrows his brow in confusion.]

They wanted to make Cybertronian babies?

heavyweaponsbot March 10 2010, 00:45:48 UTC

Ehhh... no. No.

[Ironhide is terrible at explaining this--Ratchet knows more. But he'll try.]

All Spark is... energy. Power. It created sparks... so... it could be used as a source of energy.

ecopiracy March 10 2010, 00:54:04 UTC

Aah. Now that I can understand.

[And in Phoenix's mind, he now associates this All Spark with the Eco Core in his world. Perhaps not that similar, but still a frame of reference.]

Yes, I can see how that might leave a sour taste. I take it that so far none of them have succeeded?

heavyweaponsbot March 10 2010, 00:59:23 UTC

Good. Because that... is about as much as I know.

[His intakes work in a sigh.]

Nah. They never succeeded. Launched one all-out attack on us, and we defeated them. Then...

[Then Megatron wiped them all out, and the war began.]

They never tried again.

ecopiracy March 10 2010, 01:10:49 UTC

I see.

[He senses that there is a good deal more to this story, but he also gets the feeling that Ironhide doesn't want to go into detail. He can respect that, and so he lets the matter drop.

Besides...]

I should probably log off now. I'm expecting someone shortly. It was good to talk to you again, Ironhide.
