[Open -- Communal] Science! Slumber! Party!
Who: Liege Maximo and ALL THE PEOPLE
What: Following the 'Second Wave,' Liege has collected a number of living (and dead) Monster samples to be studied. He has sent out the call: all scientists/medics or otherwise capable persons are welcome to attend his laboratory conference to look over the critters and find out what can be found!
When: Now-ish. Liege took a bit to set this up, so all new and old characters can come!
Where: Liege's Temple
Notes:
Bring any characters you want, scientists or not! Anyone who comes (IE posts or threads below) will get some samples of Sharkticons or other monster types to work with, and they will also receive a special LABORATORY KIT from an Acolyte, which features a few simple tools sized to your character so they can do their own experiments in the future!
Your character is welcome to learn the following:
-Monsters have superior strength/stamina to their non-lambda counterparts. (IE a Monster Sharkticon would be more brutal, spikier, and nastier than a standard Sharkticon.)
-Beyond the increased attributes there is no physical difference to their makeup. (IE a Sharkticon is still a Sharkticon, a dragon is still a dragon, DNA, scales, and all.)
-Particularly perceptive individuals may notice a trace of an energy signature on the creatures which matches the 'feel' of the badlands. There may be a link between the two...
Liege won't be able to interact with everyone, so this is your chance to MINGLE with others. Tag around, have fun, spend the night, and enjoy the Maximo's superior wash-racks! If you'd rather just explore the temple, you can do that too.
In the confusing, maze-like depths of Liege's temple, there were hundreds of rooms. Many had been hollowed out from the mountainside, curving inwards in some haphazardly specific pattern as if seeking out the greatest potential for heat. Others jutted out from the side with long, wide windows to let in the light, organized, carefully, for his pursuits. The laboratories, of course, were among these.
The many, many laboratories were among these.
He'd needed them all, of course. In the beginning, there had just been one, and one had been nice for allowing him to perform one type of experiment. He'd had a second built when Solus had given him that energon separator, and the third after he'd brought back organics from his first travels into space. After that, it had been somewhat of a collection, and there were laboratories shoved into corners of his temple like extra books shoved onto shelves. He liked it that way. It meant that his brothers and sisters didn't know about them.
Not all of them.
And it meant he could host parties like these on the few occasions when he deigned to socialize. He made sure each accessible laboratory was well-stocked, filled with tools and at least one experiment subject and also populated by an Acolyte to monitor his guests. There would be energon available, and some organic-favored snacks as well, because he had every intention of showing just how well he treated his aligned when he was paying attention to them.
It never hurt to make the others jealous.
He, himself, had work to do in his main laboratory, and for the most part he intended to stay there, drifting out amongst the others only to peruse their findings or to partake in the briefest of breaks. This was what he loved to do, after all...
...but science was useless without others to observe its happenings.
Having the Refugees around again was, in that way, a gift--one that he intended to open slowly, keeping the wrapping safe so he could use it again next time.
And who knew?
Perhaps, here, amongst those who would come, would be a few worth keeping for himself, or offering further incentives toward.

"Ah... er, yes. A moment," Jetfire said, collected despite the brief, embarrassed lapse that he'd gotten so concentrated on the tools in preparation to go further that he'd forgotten the promise to meet Ratchet outside and walk in.
It didn't, really, take more than "a moment" either. A little over a klik later, Jetfire curved around an outcropping and landed, having left the temple by an other exit which was closer to the lab he'd been in.
"Ratchet. I apologize for the wait."
no subject
"No need to say sorry. I haven't been waiting that long at all."
He rubs at his helm briefly, then decides that the pleasantries have been taken care of well enough.
"So... how do we get to the lab?"
no subject
"While I left by a much shorter route, you would need to be able to fly to access it, so we'll simply walk there..." Jetfire paused as they passed another corridor that led inside and shook his helm as he gestured to it. "By my calculation, if we properly knew the fractal used for the deeper corridors, it'd be faster to navigate within the... temple."
A shrug and then he just walked past that corridor, clearly taking a route that would avoid the fractal maze part.
no subject
Ratchet follows, pace much quicker than Jetfire's, since he needs to take two strides for every one of the shuttle's. "Maybe we should take some measurements and figure it out some time. Shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
It sounds like a fun diversion, really... if Ratchet ever finds the time to do it. (Hint: he probably won't)
"So you've seen more of these creatures than I have. What are your initial thoughts on them?"
All Ratchet's seen, actually, are flickers over the Link and the results of these creatures' attacks on his patients' plating.
no subject
... Where "nowadays" meant "from this moment in time back to before the war began (aka, when Starscream decided being a scientist was boring).
"Bigger and stronger than they ought to be, as basic estimation of their schematics implies a somewhat smaller size... Unsure if that is interference from the Lambda or not, however, and if so, how that works." Jetfire frowns as he speaks, not liking these indications of manipulated frames, in whatever way they've been manipulated.
If the Lambda does it... what stops it from doing the same to them?
The glyphs?
no subject
But then his attention is pulled back to the current scientific issue of the day.
"Hmm. We should test for radiation, then, see if they'd mutated somehow due to the Lambda interference... or possibly due to conditions on their homeworld?"
Ratchet's hoping it's the latter, really, because if the Lambda starts warping people just by existing, well. That's going to be a significant problem.
no subject
While he certainly doesn't have the sort of ego Starscream claims he does, he does carry some sort of pride and confidence in his abilities.
"I should have enough data on the readings from the Lambda that we could at least begin to get some sort of comparison and exclusion process to start to see if that is the case..." And the earlier frown's back with a vengeance since obviously he's not the only one agreeing with the possibility of the Lambda being able to affect them.
"It's a pity we'll be unable to know if it's their homeworld or some other variable if the results don't pan out with preliminary scan readings of the radiation data from the Lamdba... I have some both taken from the surface, as well as the orbit. I couldn't break completely out of Cybertron's gravity well for some reason..."
Jetfire shakes his helm, pausing at the doorway to the lab he'd found his way to earlier, letting Ratchet in first and to not be in the way as the Acolyte offers the medic the set of tools its been offering all who comes.
