Oratorio, Part 1
Title: Oratorio, Part 1
Author: fractalserpent and hopeofdawn
Rating: R
Verse: Bayverse/movieverse, with some G1 additions
Characters/Pairing: this chapter--Ravage, Soundwave, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Ratbat, Flipsides, Rumble, Frenzy, plus various OCs and other side characters.
Warnings/Notes:Soundwave-centric, this fic is the immediate sequel to 'Descant' in the 'Sound and Fury' series. It takes place in the same continuity as 'Giants of the Earth', but is set hundreds of thousands of years earlier, on prewar Cybertron. The character designs, for the most part, are movie-verse with the addition of G1 colors and minor modifications as needed. Warnings for descriptions of mental and physical symbiont abuse in this chapter.
“Things--went wrong so *fast*.” Echo’s vocalizer shook, unsteady. “Maybe if we’d had more time, we could have found a solution. Some way to mitigate the influx of data, or--or to isolate him from it. But it was too much, too fast. All that time... he hadn’t just been reading fields. Another mech in the program thought he was picking up the electrical charges within a mech’s cortex, allowing him to track decision-trees, programming changes. He … he could *hear* them thinking. Could hear what everyone was thinking, all the time, all the threads, all the background bits of code as well as higher processing. And … it began corrupting his own coding.”
