Open: Just doing my job, ma'am
WHO: Elita One and anyone in/near Solus' Temple/AKA YOU
WHERE: Solus Temple and Quadrant, just note where you are and she can be there!
WHEN: NOW (plus minus a few days)
WHAT: Exploring the temple, conversations, etc.
WARNINGS: NONE
The corridors underground that would let people approach the temple without having to worry about what the temperature was at that particular moment on the surface were winding, complicated things, and while she was careful, it was hard to resist not going deeper, beyond the lit, well-constructed parts.
But she wandered the temple from her room down to the corridors, several times, mapping out which route took what time, and then the same for the corridors, mostly keeping to the finished parts... Elita also wandered the temple itself curiously, noting rooms, alcolves, crannies... In one of the lower areas, closer, she assumed, to Solus' forge, she found a pale, but opaque crystal that easily came out from between the crack in two large flagstones it'd been sticking out between.
In the light, it changed colour depending on how it was angled, though it lacked any obvious facets. Uncertain what to do with it, but vaguely reminded of stories of crystal gardens and forests on Cybertron at home, she took it with her as she left the sweltering heat of those lower areas, meandering upwards and out onto the surface.
The only issue she had with walking was that it took such time. She didn't really want to change her altmode, but was aware she ought to...

[narrative]
She's not sure why she's doing this, however... There wasn't a lot to see, landscape-wise, in the quadrant, even if some of the rock formations were interesting, and the pulsing waves of heat and moisture was leaving patterns on the ground and on softer rock or virgin metal that definitely was pleasing...
The crystal in her hand was noticeably warm, drops of moisture collecting with each wave of eat and either dripping off, or seemingly being absorbed. Elita glanced down at it, currently greenish and pink, and wondered what it'd look like larger.
Larger, like... Stopping, Elita turned until she was facing the huge spire with its light on top in Prima's quadrant, radiant if somewhat dim from this distance, and held the crystal up.
It turned into a veritable storm of rainbow, even as her hand was still--
And then it suddenly turned brilliantly, achingly bluish-tinged white, edging towards transulscent at the edges.
She stared and then clutched it in her palm, hiding it as she set off running with a purpose.
It was too small to be admired as it should be, by as many as possible; she wouldn't keep this for herself even if some small part wanted to. That could come later. No, more than one person at a time should be able to admire what she'd just seen, and she remembered well the one time she'd seen a native crystal copse on Cybertron before the war.
Now, all that she needed was a spot...
Almost three solar cycles later, and not having really stopped, Elita found what she was looking for; in the westernmost areas of the quadrant, nearing the edge out towards actual wilderness and the gorge where Solus' temple sat vaguely visible on the horizon, the rock and metal dipped into a depression.
The bowl was wide, but not deep, spots of it sporting jagged and smooth metal which reflected what light came from Prima's spire even out here. Elita smiled and walked down into the center of it, turning slowly around and then pushing the crystal into the ground, like she'd found it in the deeper parts of Solus' temple.
Maybe nothing would happen, she thought as she cast a narrow stare at the "planted" crystal, but if it did, with the heat from the forge in this area and the moisture it left behind... If it did, it ought to be stunning.
