1. Quoth the Seeker, “Nevermore”.

2. Dead End & Edgar Allen Poe.

3. Unbeknownst to Orion Pax, Ariel had been lying to him ever since she met him. When he’d found her wandering around near the factory where he was working at the time, she’d claimed to live in the cheap apartment block next to his own. However, she was actually a spoiled heir

That happens to me all the time. I try to write down quotes that interest me but I sometimes forget to write down where I heard it.

Yup, that's it in a nutshell. It's a real pain, especially when you're writing a paper and need to cite everything.

That's a good explanation for them. I always wondered why he had them. They seem such an Autobot type of weapon.

I believe I read a theory once that he stole them from Wheeljack's lab, believing them to be some sort of superweapon, and when he found out what they really did he just kept them anyway - maybe out of embarrassment.

Blaster and Soundwave: *realize they're out in the hot sun* *panic and start gathering up the Cassettes*
Cassettes: *annoyed sighs*
Everyone else: *stop fighting and watch in confusion*

And you'd think this would happen fairly often, what with the Ark being in the middle of the desert and all. I wonder how the cassettes survived being in a metal ship in the desert for all the time they were offline? Would Soundwave and Blaster have backup climate controls in their chests that keep working even if they're offline?

That sounds familiar. I must have read it too. Sadly, I can't remember what fic it was.

Hmmm. Possible. Though I think, if their systems were online enough to maintain climate control, then wouldn't it take longer for them to heal? Everyone else, all their power was going to their self-repair systems. That might explain why it took so long for Blaster to show up, but what about Soundwave?

Neither can I. Ah well, at least it's one you're read so you don't really have to go look for it.

Well, I'd think the tape decks would have extra energy stored specifically for the cassettes' optimal health and comfort. Soundwave, being a 'Con, would insist on extra rations for his family's benefit even if it meant starving other 'Cons; on the other hand, Blaster would freely admit that the entire amount of excess energy wasn't strictly necessary for survival and would forgo part of his extra ration for the benefit of the cause.
