Arcee looks from one mech to the other, her expression holding shock and bewilderment.

[astrotechmech]

"So, um, yeah Kia's a newspark, and," he says to Arcee, still slightly creeped out by Hot Shot's behavior before turning to Hot Shot himself,"what do you mean 'it's time?!'"

[random_xtras]

"Uh...." The yellow mech scratches the side of his nose. "I... don't know. I just know it is."

Arcee goes 0_o.

[astrotechmech]

" . . ." Random stares at him like he's insane. ". . . Time for what?"

[random_xtras]

Hot Shot frowns and bows his head, his face turned slightly to the side as though he's listening.

"Something big... oh. Primus is waking up."

"What the slag is he talking about?" Arcee wants to know.

[astrotechmech]

" . . . Huh?" Random somehow mixes confusion with the "you're insane" look. "Is it Myths and Legends come a live week or something?"

[random_xtras]

"Primus is real," comes a sleepy little murmur from Random's arms.

[astrotechmech]

" . . . I kn--ah . . ." just . . . didn't believe . . . Random slumps in defeat, sitting down on the spot and holding Kia closer. " . . . This is just too insane. First the space station laughing thing, and now--why now?"

[random_xtras]

"Space station laughing?" Hot Shot stares at the astrotechs.

[astrotechmech]

Random gently rocks Kia back and forth a little bit. "Yeah, Kia said something about it--him--whatever laughing when Scavenger died."

[random_xtras]

"Uh... I felt that too. But it wasn't the Death Star. It was Unicron."

Arcee starts violently, her optics widening. "Unicron!"

[astrotechmech]

Random winces at and looks at Hot Shot as if to say, "Did you have to say the name?"

[random_xtras]

"What? It was," says Hot Shot defensively.

[astrotechmech]

If you jinx . . . But Random doesn't end the thought and just holds Kia in his arms.
