Eeee nice! Love the notion of growing buildings from seeds! And that they didn't have the vocal suite to correctly pronounce that metal! This is just the sort of worldbuildy play I enjoy so much! <333

Thank you!

I had so much fun with the world building! The crystal seeds sprout into a mass that will fuse at it grows and then get shaped by master builders into a livable home over the course of centuries.

The bot doing the negotiation did have the right vocal suite, so Raj and Breaker aren't too fussed. ;)

So glad you enjoyed it! :D

Aaaaaw, they're so sweet. :) And Mirage, you are a manipulative little glitch. You are lucky that Trailbreaker is so laid back. :P

Fluffy cuddle bunnies, these two. ;)

Mirage would apologize, but he's had to be sneaky and manipulative to survive for so long that to ' s almost an instinct. Trailbreaker gets it, usually, and can roll with it. He's going to have stern words with Optimus about bing complicit, though....

Yeah, that's the feeling I got from Mirage "Yeah, this is a biiiit different than what you'd like to do, but this is the Right Way to do it, and you'll forgive me, so here we go! :D" Which is a totally reasonable personality for him. :p

Glad you think it works so well! :D
