[recollecters]

So here's the thing… We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too. How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here. So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready. Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

Huh? What of yours could be bigger than mailbox?

[You're like...broke??]

[jurai]

[RUDE AS FUCK!! He's rich impaired!]

Well it looks like I had another weapon back in my past life

This one's really big

[fiddlestick]

A really big weapons?

[!!!!]

Was it a mech?? I thought that was Rean's!

[jurai]

No and yes?

It's a double blade kind of thing


But I have a mech too. It's named

Ordine?

Man we really HAVEN'T gotten together to catch up on memories.

[fiddlestick]

A double blade...sounds cool!

What?? really??

Yeah no kidding! I know we've been busy but I had NO idea you got a mech too!

Also I'm a little jealous.

[jurai]

Yeah I was waiting for the right time to tell you guys but

You know how things escalate

It was this really blue colour and it talked


Heh don't be jealous, though. YOU were the true MVP a week ago

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, they sure do. We've been really busy the past few months.

But that's so cool! Blue's a great color- does it have a name?

Haha, thanks. But I wouldn't go that far to say that.

[jurai]

Yep. I called it 'Ordine' or something. Pretty fancy, don'tcha think?

[But there's a lighthearted sigh behind the feed. Between you and Rean, I swear.]

I mean it

You really pulled through for us

[fiddlestick]

Ordine...yeah, that's a very fancy name. Like something you hear in legends.

[.....

Ugh. Crow's being sincere. Way to make him feel guilt.]

No, it was my fault to begin with. I'd knew about that power of his for awhile, I just I didn't know how to tell you guys. And so you were caught off guard and...

No excuses. I'm sorry. It was luck my spell even worked, I didn't know it would. And if it hadn't, it could've gotten much worse.

[jurai]

[Oh my god Elliot not you too.]

Even if you told us...None of us knew Rean would get it here

Or when it would trigger. We'd be caught off guard no matter what


Sure, you could've told us, and it might've helped. But I don't think that would've stopped whatever got ahold of Raina from going after me

Point is, you're forgiven

[fiddlestick]

[Crow just because you'd let him get away with actual murder doesn't meant he can't feel guilt!!]

I...guess so. I wasn't expecting it to come to light in that way.

[Schwarzers sure are something]

Thanks Crow. I'm still going to feel bad about it for awhile. Especially when I still haven't found Rean.

[jurai]

Take all the time you need. We're our worst critics and sorting through that bullshit's just gotta take its course

[But his tone even in text form changes when Rean's brought up.]

He's been leaving me on read ever since it happened

[fiddlestick]

He has?

But you didn't do anything wrong. You just defended yourself.

private;

[jurai]

Yeah

[Now it's Crow's turn to not sound convinced.]

He did what he did to protect me, though. I saw the look on his face when I stopped him from chopping Raina in half

It looked hurt

private;

[fiddlestick]

[....]

No. He wasn't thinking straight. There's no way he'd be unhappy now that you didn't let him chop his sister in half.

I remember him telling my other self about a time it happened. It sounds like he just goes berserk, and only regains his senses later.

[usurpers]

What the fuck did you say you had

[jurai]

A


Giant sword?

[Sweats a WAtERFaLl]

[usurpers]

A Giant Robot
You can get a Giant Robot and you didn’t tell me

[ FRIENDSHIP ENDED WITH CROW ]

[jurai]

[BABY COME BACK!!! NOT WITH OUR SOON TO BE ASSIGNED CHILD ON THE WAY!]

I was a little busy, yannow

[You know, not getting the shit stabbed out of him.]

I can give you deets now, though

[usurpers]

Right. Okay.








Did you give them yet or

[ gotta go fast pawadan ]

[jurai]

Jeez calm down, robophile

His name was Ordine and he was a blue color. Not like Optimus Prime kind of blue, but a bit duller. He had some white detailing too and a yellow horn thing

I don't remember much else, cause I left him pretty early in the memory, but he spoke too

Really formally

[usurpers]

Was it like an Optimus voice

[jurai]

No no

Not like that

More like...Shockwave? Retro shockwave no idea how he sounds in the new movies

Or like a younger Jarvis

[usurpers]

That’s so cool.
Why’d it have to be you, huh?

Are there a lot of mech pilots in your memories? Rean told me about one too.

[jurai]

['Why'd it have to be you'

His eyes go half-lidded behind the feed.]

Why me indeed

It seems my memories are slipping silly me




Well, Rean's got one himself, so he was probably talking about him, right?
