I should arrive within two orbital cycles. My understanding is they're fitting her with a chronometer alternate mode, so that I can wear her about my holo-avatar's wrist without attracting attention. Megatron is insisting on bodyguards for each of us in hostile territory. VP: I won't be entirely bereft of contact with my own kind. Their capital, Koraja, is supposed to be a wonder of architecture and culture.ĮD: You won't be lonely without Cybertronian companionship? After spending so long observing the Cybertrons and Earths of the Multiverse, it might be nice to get to really know a planet. And I'm dusting off my holomatter generator, I'll be able to wander about the planet, looking like a native whenever I choose.
VP: His codename is "Safeguard." I look forward to getting to know him. One forgets how briefly organic individuals are with us.
He's going to be undergoing a hybrid Targetmaster / Powermaster process to binary bond with me, which should allow me to refuel in their tainted atmosphere well as prolonging his lifespan by several centuries.ĮD: Centuries. We've already made contact with a native who will help me integrate. I'll be on a small mountain overlooking a lush green forest, manufacturing recreational and industrial hoverboards. VP: I'm going to be going in as a factory, just outside of Folassburg. I'll be able to monitor the state of things there and report back. VP: Indeed not, but the walls between here and Primax 984.0 Gamma are thinnest there. Not a very friendly place for our kind after those so-called "colonists" from the Aurex Cluster paid them a visit. But my unusual, some might say "singular" cyber-biology makes me one of the few qualified for this mission, and my experience with both organics and with trans-dimensional physics makes me uniquely qualified for the most difficult of assignments.ĮD: Which is? Where are they sending you?ĮD: Yeeeeeesh. I'm twenty-five million stellar cycles old, not exactly a spring Pidgeonoid. According to my last medi-scan, I have the latent potential for trans-reality scanning in a way that fewer than one in a thousand possess. With dedicated agents in key positions, we can be sure we understand the broad parameters of each key universe. The intelligence Rhinox is able to observe from here is too scanty to be of much value. While we undertake feasibility studies for both Rhinox's massive civil engineering programs and Megatron's aggressive expansion tactics, we've located the 9 locations in the galaxy where the walls of reality are thinnest, where with the proper equipment we can "listen in" on each of these realities.
VP: Starscream and Optimus Prime have proposed a compromise solution between the plans of Rhinox and of Megatron. VP: This is off the record, you understand. VP: Oh, there are no doubt others, but these nine are, in many senses, foundational. In the interim, Rhinox and I have identified nine "pillar" realities, streams with an unusually high number of branch points and an overwhelming number of quantum echoes. brute force his way into other dimensions. It's quite an ambitious plan, cyberforming entire star systems into listening arrays. Rhinox is proposing we create a Large Pulsar Array in the vicinity of Protos, to create a Hyperwave dimensional-oscillation generator. Where once we had an empire, with probes reporting from the most distant clusters and outposts orbiting the nearest, now we have but whispers and rumors. We're starting to discover areas of the Shroud where the anti-harmonic dampening is thinner than elsewhere, but the Multiverse remains largely obscured to us. ED: You're not returning to Ask Vector Prime?
