WJ: *starts to tell him he doesn't have to, if he's happy here...but then...it's his turn to look away, curling in on himself - he puts his plate down, suddenly not hungry, and it's a long moment before he's able to respond, his voice soft* Cybertron . . . i-is all but dead. There's very little energy left /anywhere/. We've fought the Decepticons as best we could . . . but it's /cost/ us. It's . . . cost /everyone/. I . . . I doubt ya'd even /recognize/ our home anymore, Subzero. ...About four thousand years ago, Optimus Prime ordered an intergalactic ship built. bunch of us worked on the design an' construction. Her name's the Ark. The idea was a group of us would leave Cybertron ta try ta find some sustainable energy sources we could then bring back with us. Only . . . */scowls/* . . . the Cons followed us. Managed ta get the drop on us by attackin' us out of an asteroid shower. They boarded straight onta the bridge. Both ships went down on an uncharted organic planet... *his voice has gone soft and distant by this point* W-we . . . all of us, we . . . lay in stasis, broken an' scattered across the deck like so much refuse, for four thousand years, until . . . the mountain we crashed into was apparently a volcano. It developed some minor activity, but the tremors were enough ta knock our systems back online. Stupid Teletraan I, it couldn't tell 'Con from Autobot an' repaired one'a /them/ first - Skywarp, I think it was - who then had all his buddies repaired. Includin' Megatron himself. Another tremor later knocked Optimus inta reach of the bridge's repair bay, an' he had the rest of us, as many as we could, repaired an' revived. We've been on a planet the natives merely call "Earth". Humans are the only sentient, dominant species. They're like the ones here, only their technology is higher than here. They've got the same /plethora/ of animal an' plant-life too. *he closes his eyes, curling up again with a soft murmur, /guilt/ in his voice* W-we . . . we brought our war with us, ta Earth. We couldn't stop Megatron back home, but now we /gotta/ find a way ta stop him! We can't let Earth get decimated like we did Cybertron!
