*Auspex steps into Autobot City, leading a mech that looks disturbingly like Hot Rod (at least, disturbing in the light that a certain Rodimus Prime is in charge here, and he and his youthful other-self can't both be here) - she simply explains to Metroplex that he is an alternate, from the Nexus; it's much less complicated that way.

After requesting Cureall's whereabouts from the Transformer-city, receiving them, and thanking him for such, she beckons her companion to follow, hands outstretched to help him, should he stumble.

After a somewhat long but uneventful walk (well, there are a few bogglers, but never mind that), Auspex leads the Teletraan to one of the offshoots off the main medbay.

Here, they find Kigan, a recharging Cureall, and the patient in question, Oriana Pax.*

Kigan looks around from where he's standing next to the life-support pod that's holding Oriana's spark, perking slightly at sight and feel of Auspex and then frowning and wondering at the storm of emotion from the Mech who's asking in a shaky but rather emotionless voice why being an alternate of Teletraan wouldn't work.

Then he frowns as the mech turns his head and looks at him. "You're not a Transformer. Not anymore than I am."

Teletraan gives him a bewildered look and then looks at Auspex.

*Auspex offers her reasons to the computer for not introducing him as a Teletraan* That... would be a much longer explanation. There are several models of Teletraan, and none are very... portable. I suppose they could also do what you have done, and create a facsimile, but I'm not sure that's ever occured to anyone, before.

*Auspex nods greeting to Kigan, glancing pensively at Teletraan as the former makes his observation, and the latter balks*

It's... very complicated, Kigan. This is Teletraan - Oriana's host computer. He... somehow has the rudimentary workings of a spark, pieced together from slivers of others... I can't understand how it works, but I can sense him, if faintly. *Confusion, but acceptance - Primus does strange things at times - color her thoughts*

He was worried for Oriana, and I saw the two of you leave the Nexus with her. I was going to see if she was all right, myself, so I brought him here.

How is she? And how is Cureall? *Her gaze wanders to her recharging friend, nearby, with gentle concern*

[violet_cure]

Cureall makes a soft noise and her optics light up dimly. "Kigan? Is somebody here?"

When she sees Auspex her eyes brighten to full power. "Sister Auspex? What is happening? Is Oriana alright?"

[kigan_starborn]

"She's the same." Kigan walks over to offer her a hug, though his optics remain on Teletraan. "Her..." He pauses to consider the emotions he's reading from the AI. "...Creator's here."

Teletraan's noticed the pod, and his optics widen as he wobbles again, concern nearly knocking him for a loop.

*Auspex attempts to steady the Teletraan, with a hand on his shoulder, glancing over at Cureall and Kigan as she does* What happened to her? She was attacked? I didn't see what happened, I only saw you leave the Nexus with her... *she directs her attention to Oriana's spark, attempting to see if she's conscious, and what she may be feeling*

[violet_cure]

"Oriana said she got in a fight with somebody called Blackout." Cureall cuddles against Kigan's side for comfort. "This one was afraid so she put Oriana into emergency stasis."

[random_xtras]

Teletraan rallies and walks over to look through the window of the pod, then interfaces with it, his face going intent even as he flickers slightly.

Oriana isn't awake, or aware of pain, but suddenly she feels the echo of a familiar presence and perks without waking. -Teletraan?-

He can't figure out how to talk to her, but he can tell that she can feel him and tries to be as reassuring as he can as he assesses the condition of her body and her spark, which is damaged slightly.

And Kigan watches, and listens to the emotions all around him. "She knows him."

[primus_seeress]

She didn't say why? *Auspex frowns in concern* I'm not sure what could injure her; is it possible to harm that sort of body, Teletraan? If not, and it's her spark itself, perhaps... it could simply be temporary shock. Then she would simply need a bit of rest. *she peers at the container, sensing Oriana's acknowledgement of Teletraan. She nods, concurring with Kigan*

[violet_cure]

Cureall shakes her head and tries to rise. "Teletraan? Can you tell us how to help her along?"

[random_xtras]

"She severely depleted her energy stores... and her spark is slightly damaged," he says absently. "I can repair her body and charge it, but yes, she'll need to rest and recover."

Oriana is joyful, but if she were awake and in her shell she'd be crying too. Kigan's face twists slightly as he senses this.

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex stands by, watching carefully. Her optics flicker a bit at the poignant edge to Oriana's feelings, and, while she is replacing her hand on the Teletraan's shoulder, she carefully brushes the fingertips of her other hand across the spark container. Primus is with you...*

[violet_cure]

"Then please, Teletraan. Do what you can." Cureall covers her face with her hands. "I don't know what I'd do if she died. I promised I would take care of her."
