OPENING LOG: Awakening

WHO: Everybody!
WHERE: The Junk Pile.
WHEN: Right here, right now.
WHAT: Game opening! Our Heroes find themselves in a strange place not of their own world, however familiar (or not) it may be.




Consciousness is slow, and a struggle to obtain. The moments before darkness are hazy enough; a great vertigo, a twisting, and then, falling. Falling for what seemed like forever. And when you are finally aware of your surroundings, it is most decidedly not where you came from.

Instead, you are now in what appears to be a wasteland. A wasteland...of junk. Debris as far as you can see, heaped in mini-mountains that offer only so good of a view of the world around you. Perhaps in the distance, you can make out some flatter land, perhaps you can just make out what looks like a crevice - but it's difficult at best. The light here is all wrong, the two greatest sources being a white line in the alien sky that doesn't so much give off light as simply have it - and something in the south that glows like a setting sun.

You may or may not notice it at first, but you, too, have something alien - something on your arm, more likely than not. A marking that glows softly, but offers no clue as to how it got there - no pain, no sensitivity. It's simply there, as you are here.

So.

Now what?

((OOC: This is it, you guys! Have a blast! Please remember to keep everything under the first thread for now; we'll be adding the Firstforged in in a little bit...

OKAY There is now a second thread to post in! Feel free to make new threads there to react to the arrival of the Firstforged, or respond directly to the Firstforged themselves.))

"Mm, well. If you need anything, you let me know. Hopefully we won't be here for long, but if we have to find you supplies, I'd rather know sooner than later."

Inwardly, Ratchet is itemizing a list of fuel components that humans need for survival. Oxygen is obviously checked, but they also need water, protein, carbohydrates, fats, a plethora of vitamins and minerals and other trace elements... if he has to synthesize that out of the junk lying around in the middle of nowhere, that's going to be problematic.

"And ... no, I haven't seen any of them." He snorts, hiding his worry behind annoyance. "Haven't seen anything except Knock Out's front plating since I woke up here."

"Goes double for me. You guys are the only familiar faces other than the mad Doc.

Ratch, if we're on our own, ya know we're gonna have to look after the kid."

He pats his back, where the two katanas lie. You bet your aft he's not leaving you two to fend for yourselves.

You know what?

Normally Raf would protest about being taken care of. He even starts to, about to remind Wheeljack that he's practically the most mature one in his family.

"Hey, I-!..."

It trails off. That was...back on Earth. He seems to sink in to himself, a little...frowning with a furrowed brow.

"...where are we, anyway?"

Ratchet squints up at the sky for the first time since waking up -- in this pile of junk, the only good landmarks are the stars... and boy, are they telling him strange things.

"It looks like-- No." Ratchet squints more, covers his eyes to help him see better. "These are Cybertronian constellations, but... not." He points, guiding his friends' eyes. "The Mirtonian constellation is missing at least three of its points, and Lambda Scorpii is... much dimmer than it ought to be, aren't they?"

Already, the mech's brain is turning over this problem, but the only ideas he's coming up with are absolutely ludicrous... right?
wheeljackofalltrades: (look who showed up)

Candy's always nice!

Wheeljack's attention turned to Ratchet, at full attention. Did he just say...constellations referring to Cybertron skies? That was beyond anything logical by Wheeljack standards. His optics turn towards the sky.

Well, whattya know. There they were in plain sight. Or...half of them at least.

"Can't say I looked too closely at the stars before, but I know them. Traveled through em, in fact. And...there's a couple missin'."

Considering Raf's knowledge of astrology was limited to a single planet, he doubted he'd be much help. But he followed Ratchet's arm, frowning as he tried to make sense of them.

"So...they're just not there? Not even faintly?"
