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.))

Oh, she likes you~

Respectfully polite as well. Very good.

"That would likely be because you are from a completed Cybertron. That is, one from a future point in time."

She smiles enigmatically, standing tall to gesture out past the field of scrap.

"Despite the...unpleasantness of what you might see directly around you, this is the beginning of a Cybertron, not the one you know."

She turns her gaze back down to the smaller mech, always amused by the question.

"And I am Solus Prime, one of the Firstforged. I would welcome you in turn, if I knew your designation."

"My guesses were right, then." Ratchet rubs a hand over his still-dented chevron as he mutters, obviously not too happy about being right, then looks up to address Solus.

"I'm Ratchet, Lady Solus. And it's a pleasure to meet you. Although, ah, I will admit to wondering why I'm... here. And now."

Rather than back at base on Earth in his own time.

Solus gives him a shallow nod in return.

"And you, Ratchet. Though I must admit, even that is beyond our understanding. We did not mark you ourselves, nor pull you through the Lambda. Providence and Primus brings you here, and they will decide when" -or if- "you will leave."

She rubs a hand over her chin thoughtfully, still smiling with her own, faint amusement.

"Was that the extent of your 'guesses'?"
docbot: (strange as what I believe)

"That was." Ratchet rubs at his chevron, looking suddenly tired.

"So if there isn't a way for us to get back home, what is our purpose here? And... do these marks mean anything?"

Since she brought up the topic of the glowing mark on his shoulder, Ratchet figures he may as well ask about it.

"As far as even we know, you are here to assist us in some way. The fact that you are marked-" she gestures down at the glyph with a nod- "both marks the fact that you are meant to be here, and that you have a sort of...affinity toward one of us, for any variety of reasons."

She silently notes his minor injuries to herself, giving him a reassuring smile.

"Your glyph is my own symbol, and gives you refuge among my own."
