Coherent: Chapter 4

[the_lost_robot]

A Spark, Remembrance got a couple of comments on AO3. It kickstarted me to have a look back at my work and in one night, an entire chapter just came pouring out. Which is weird, because I drifted off since the characters I needed weren't talking to me and suddenly I had a surprise appearance from the one mech that was stalling the plot. And look!

Oh Prowl, he really is with knowledge like a dor with the tastiest steak it ever saw. Knowledge! Woosh! Everything else is forgotten. XD

I love the moment when Immobilizer realises he had mentored a thief. A skilled, naive thief less than a vorn old, no less. XD And Solder was no less helpless.

Lockdown is creepy, but well, Lockdown. And I wonder what Yoketron intends to do... a balance to the other teachings? Sounds a lot like he wants to prevent that Prowl becomes all rule-loving.

And is it just be or is Prowl despite his difficulties to learn circuit-su still much more advanced than he should be? After all, Lockdown definitely did not think he's a vorn old.

Well. Yoketron wants Prowl to get an all-round education. Learn about the seedier and darker bits of life that Immobilizer would certainly not allow him to know. Yoketron is a big believer in getting lot's of life experience. Also, Lockdown's very much the master of his own destiny and knows what it's like to go against core programming that a mech doesn't want. So, out of all the people Yoketron knows, Lockdown is the best one that can relate to Prowl

Lockdown will definitely show Prowl a few things that no oneelse would've even thought to show such a young mech.

Prowl opens his mouth and the illusion fails. *grins* Lockdown was quite confused first. And interestingly, seemingly just as unhappy about Prowl's early rebirth as Yoketron.

Prowl felt a bit differently, but I attributed it to the spark merge and that he's still growing. He seems to express himself more.
So, the moment Prowl manages to remind his body/mind that he's smaller and different, he's essentially a fully trained cyber-ninja?
Also, I keep wondering what Prowl knows about the core, if he remembers so much.

Poor Immobilizer. He really didn't get an easy job with Prowl, did he? Gentle guidance, forget it. XD This mech is Trouble, with the mind, the skills and the inclination to put it all to maximum effect.
