Or, not so much strikes as beats me to a bloody pulp until I wrote something. Finally, is all I can say. See, uni holidays are good things :D

Hooray for inspiration, because - this was powerful, yes, in a powerfully good, heartbreaking way.
The dying alien, and the only kindness they can give her is death, and really liked this line: Streetwise and Hot Spot stand silently like a guard of honour, or perhaps horror would be more apt because yeah.
And horrible as it all is, they at least save one of their own, so there is that at least, but the feelings of numbness and despair are real enough to touch, enough to affect even the P-bots' usual buoyancy.
It is good to hear I'm back in the groove, so as to speak.
I think there might be something wrong with me that I created an alien race just to kill them off. Poor babies. I might have to write original fic featuring them to make up for it :/
Yeah, the Protectobots are young, and they haven't had as much time to become used to the horrors of war. Or not exactly used to, because I don't think anyone ever becomes used to something like that, but yeah.
No prob, now that I finally get around to it...about four months later :/
Poor babies. I have been terribly mean to them, not letting them be heroes. But more seriously, the thing is sometimes they can't save the day - nobody can be perfect all the time. And yes, random planet and random alien race were created just so I wouldn't have to kill off humans.
