I. [Video] Origination

[sumptushubris]

[the video starts with a pair of red-orange optics gazing at the comm - and then pulling back to fully reveal the helm and upper body. a dark-blue black mech with highlights of white and red, it's difficult to read his expression with a mask over the lower half of his face. when he speaks, his voice is a deep, resonating bass...and it is as cold as

[...Primus, for the tiniest of moments he was reminded of deep, smouldering optics and the scent of burning metal. This is the opposite--but the feeling is very, very much the same, and he would rather shake it off.]

...such a thing...does. Exist.

This is far, far from it.

Who...are you?

[He's almost afraid to know the answer, but, at least here, the idea of demigods showing up seems almost tame and manageable somehow.]

[sumptushubris]

[now here is the question. does he play along with those who tried to force a new name upon him...or does he completely reject them, without knowing rules or consequences?]

...I am Nemesis.

[...we'll go for middle ground.]

[bymycalculation]

Not...mine...I hope?

[Literal is literal.]

[inferiordude]

You.

[Totally mistaking you for his world's Prime. The similarity is just awful.]

[sumptushubris]

[hardly. Nemesis has horns, and a darker color scheme. he gazes at the camera, blinking once]

I am recognized?...how entertaining.

[inferiordude]

[Nah, he still makes the mistake briefly. But much to his temporary relief, it's not him. Just his own paranoia.]

Negatory. Thought you were somebody else, dude. Sorry 'bout that.

[sumptushubris]

You should be more careful, when identifying others, then.

[disapproving, but not angry.]

[debt_to_pay]

You.

[Oh, he's heard about you. >:|]

[sumptushubris]

[man is he popular or what. he's not even responding verbally, just giving you the same look he gave Dudewave.]

[debt_to_pay]

[Perceptor has mastered the art of non-verbal conversation. :|]

[linefaces ahoy!]

Designation?

[show_my_cannons]

... What is this?

[Doesn't look good, whatever it is. Red optics... sort of... are never a good sign.]

[Video]

[sumptushubris]

A question I still have not received the answer to.

Do you know who or what is behind this?

[Video]

[show_my_cannons]

Transtechs. Go bother them if you want answers. None of us have any.

[sumptushubris]

Are you always so dismissive? At least one of you has some.

[He growls deep in his engine. That face- he certainly didnt sound like him- but-]

[Video now]

[wingedwoobie]

You just dont know how to stay dead do you-?!

[Video]

[sumptushubris]

[oh, /that/ catches Nemesis's attention. his optics flash in surprise - then narrow, burning brightly]

Who are you.

[Video]

[wingedwoobie]

I didnt think it would matter to you- though, you certainly sound more intelligent than before we destroyed you.

[He hasnt realized you're not his yet- but even if he did, he would probably still want you dead.]
