A visit with Alpha Trion
[Whenever you feel you are able to stop by, Alpha Trion's library is always open. With his close proximity to Prima's quadrant, the many domed windows of his sitting areas make for bright, pleasant places to curl up with a good data pad and enjoy a relaxing read.
On this day in particular, he's had some of the window panes colored to filter in red, blue, and green light from Prima's glowing tower. It makes the atmosphere more festive, he is certain, and it also changes his routine a bit.
Plenty of acolytes are shuffling around him, some reading through books and others sorting data-pads, adding Trion's ever-increasing collection of books into a vast central reference archive. It's important to keep so much data organized, he knows that even with an army of Acolytes the work would never be done.
However, it does not stop him from trying.
He hears you as soon as you come in through the large, double-doors into the multi-story library. You'd find yourself approached, as well, though the Firstforged is still carrying a few documents as he does so, reluctant to part from his very enjoyable cataloging.]
Ah, there you are.
Please do pardon the mess, its inventory week and I already missed the first half of it due to...well. Unicron sending down a large, reality warping straw. It's been rather inconvenient.
Thankfully, its also gone. I would very much like to hear that story...
[He starts to trail off, before focusing back on the task at hand.]
And I will! But for right now, I think its important that you and I talk about other matters.
[He gestures towards a couch underneath one of the stained windows, and moves towards it to sit. The pile of documents go down beside him, and the other end of the couch is left open for you.]
I'm going to be going away for a while. Lunar cycles, likely, helping to expedite work on Cybertron.
Although this recent Pillar problem has proven to me that you Refugees are adaptable enough to overcome many odds, I still feel it is important that I ask.
Is there anything that you will need while I am gone?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The conversation will continue on from this point depending on how you respond below. Sae will be around to answer this log until the 1st of January, at which point anything not wrapped up will be summarized. Regardless of what turns the topic takes, Alpha Trion has gifts for his aligned:
Each Refugee will receive an instructional book/datapad on a subject of their choosing. As these are special, magical Alpha Trion books, they enhance the reader with a +1 to learning...
Meaning that your character will have a pretty good handle on whatever the subject is by the beginning of the new year. This is a great chance to learn something new!

no subject
It takes her a couple of hours but she gets there. Eventually.
The tiny stitchpunk wiggles under the door and walks cautiously into the library. While she knows that she's not in any real danger here, it's always possible that one robot might end up making one unfortunate misstep. Four's been stepped on enough thank you very much.
Four's eyes light up when Alpha Trion appears, and she follows him eagerly to the couch. Like a good girl, she sits on the couch arm, staring up at him with an avid interest.
In order to reply, she pulls out her device.]
I don't really need anything. Except maybe a new method of transportation.
But why are you going away? Don't you like it here?
no subject
[He's impressed by how well you get around already, but if it helps...]
I like it here a great deal.
Too much, really, as sometimes my brothers and sisters tease that its hard to separate me from my books. [He chuckles.] However, I know I am needed elsewhere. In order to prevent other incursions like the Pillar, we're going to try to finish Cybertron.
no subject
[Four's eyes flicker with confusion as she peers up at the Firstforged. Her little fingers click together as she struggles to make sense of what Alpha Trion just said. Eventually, she has to ask.]
What do you mean by "finish" Cybertron? There is a whole planet out there, right?
[Four suddenly has a vision of half a Cybertron, floating around in space...]
no subject
[He trails off, as that is an era of time when he did not exist, which means it is both fascinating to him and also a little difficult to comprehend.]
However, he cannot return until it is ready for him to inhabit the Core, and as long as he is not here then Unicron is a threat.
What worries me the most is that the chaos-bringer is becoming more active, now, wheras we do not know when Primus will return. We will have to do what we can, in the meantime.
