A visit with Alpha Trion

[trionicpolarity]

[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!

[Well, at least he knows where he's going. He and Kay got the message at the same time, and come together, following along with Stumpy, just in case.]

[The library was beautiful, to say the least. But he beckoned to her to wait, all the same. If it was serious, or dangerous, best he went in first. Maybe he was being paranoid. But, better paranoia than to lose her.]

[He went in silently, as always, waiting without a word for the FirstForged to notice him.]

I know... some of the story. From another.

[He'd taken notes, after all, as he was asked to. But he falls silent as Trion speaks again. He blinks, pulling his head back like a startled bird.]

[What does he need...?]

What... what does that mean for me...?

[Given how different he was from the others here, after all.]

[Four headed to the library almost as soon as she got the message, though her progress was somewhat hampered by the fact that she no longer has her hoverboard. It really is sort of inconvenient to be without that.

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?

[Barricade may not have gotten a hail from Alpha Trion about this... but he's spoken to Solus. He knows they're leaving. And even if they weren't, he is, and he wants to leave his other favorite FirstForged with something before he goes.

Finding where he needs to go is a simple matter of elimination; Trion wasn't with the felines so he was either in the library or in his own quarters. Thankfully it was the library... and he doesn't have to navigate the maze.

Though he does feel like a bit of a party crasher.

He pulls out a datastick.]

Trion. I'm afraid I'm not going to be staying in the Haven for much longer myself. So I need to know who I ought to leave this with.

You asked about literature and history from my world; I'm making good on that before I go. This is everything I can remember, up to the final battle between the Autobots and Decepticons.

[A call from a Firstforged is not a good thing. It can't be a good thing. At least in Dead End's mind it can't be. This wasn't a call about a temporary solution to his diet - he had one of those already - this was a call for reasons unknown. He'd only just come back from vanishing and maybe... maybe he'd done something wrong. Wandering off for one.

When he gets there he carefully avoids sitting... It's not that he's paranoid, it's just that he's paranoid.]

So you're... leaving.

Uh... I. Well, I don't really need anything, sir. I'm sure you have others that would be more useful to you.
