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!

You are leaving?
[He glances down to your Glyph, checking...]
Is Solus sending you on a mission?
[Still, he reaches out to take the stick, absent-mindedly also taking hold of a spare datapad from a nearby shelf to upload the contents into. This is fascinating to him.]
no subject
Date: 2014-01-02 04:15 am (UTC)You noticed. No. This is something I'm doing for myself. I... considered our conversation, about the potential for changing things. And about my change when the pillar showed up.
I might do more good working from the shadows, as it were.
Though I am sorry I won't be able to help out with your cats.
[Even if Solus found him taking care of them silly in the first place.]
no subject
Date: 2014-01-10 04:46 am (UTC)[Trion might look a bit alarmed for a moment.]
Surely you do not intend to head for the badlands? There are other, less painful ways to die you know.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-10 04:55 am (UTC)[Barricade can't bring himself to do that. He's not so fresh from that mess in Chicago to do that.]
But there is a place outside of the Haven that I know of, where I can work without interfering with things here too much... and without anything horrible interfering with me.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-19 01:50 am (UTC)[He has a frown on, but it is a worried frown. He cares for your well being, after all.]
We have not had any contact with that outpost since they left...
[The frown stays, but he does shift, really thinking about what Barricade is saying.]
As such, I cannot allow you to go without adequate supplies.
[The frown turns into a bit of a smile, as he has every intention of providing those to you.]
no subject
Date: 2014-01-19 02:21 am (UTC)[And he'd had to do the same. To keep them off the radar... and to keep anyone else from finding it just to drag their friends back to the Haven.
He pauses then, giving Alpha Trion a slightly sly look. Whatever are you up to?]
Dare I ask what sort of supplies?
no subject
Date: 2014-01-19 02:28 am (UTC)[If they were even alive. It often worried him.]
A crate of energon cubes, some emergency communications equipment, a few tools, and a sledge to move them on. Nothing extravagant.
[At least, not until you see the sledge. If you're going out, it might as well be in style.]
no subject
Date: 2014-01-19 02:39 am (UTC)[With people like Tarn and Overlord, the centipedes and pillars were almost better. Almost.]
Supplies that will be quite welcome. Mm, and a way to carry them besides using my fighter. You're going to spoil me at this rate, extravagant or no.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-20 02:56 pm (UTC)[After all, if they did not get Cybertron finished then Unicron would come through...at which point no amount of order in the Haven would help.]
You are welcome to use your fighter if you prefer. I might be able to outfit the sledge for remote control...
But I could not guarantee how well that would work far from the Haven.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-20 03:19 pm (UTC)[Not that the Refugees' infighting makes them helpful to the whole 'stopping Unicron' thing, but still.]
Don't worry, I can figure out a way to tow the ship. Had to when the poor thing was still broken down.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-23 03:23 am (UTC)[The way he smiles, he is kidding...but he does want you to know that you have value in your own right.]
Then the only thing left to give to you is my luck.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-23 03:42 am (UTC)I'm afraid the one Initiation is enough for now. Much as I like you and all.
[Let's face it, being smacked with a Hammer is not an experience to be repeated.]
Feel like I should be the one wishing you luck. I've got the easy part myself, for now.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-23 03:50 am (UTC)[Ah, but you wouldn't miss it for the world, would you?]
no subject
Date: 2014-01-23 04:01 am (UTC)Of course. What is it?
no subject
Date: 2014-01-30 01:06 am (UTC)[A cat.]
He would not be easy to console if you left, and...whatever fate awaits you, he'll be a good companion.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-30 02:02 am (UTC)You'll have to excuse my informality but darlin' you are too good to me. And I'd hate to leave Max inconsolable. The extra company will be more than welcome... and I'm sure Rumble won't mind a new friend either.
... Thank you, Alpha Trion. Never had dealings with the FirstForged before coming here, but I can tell you this. Between you and Solus, I've met some mighty fine examples of demigods, and I'm glad for the opportunity.
