1st Prime // [Action]

[Lots and lots of new guys, huh? Well let's tack another one onto that list! And it's a doozy. The fountain rumbles a few minutes before barely managing to spit out it's newest arrival.  Wow.

And you guys thought Starscream was big.  Another robotic Goliath is shot into the air before falling hard onto the pavement.  In fact, that pavement is

[ His construction and aesthetic was very different than Starscream's. However, it was clear they were most likely from the same world. It would be best to give him the proper warning and information. ]

Hello and welcome to Ink City.

[bravestofprimes]

[Optimus looks down and sees Caroline, his eyes immediately softening. Her voice was soothing and gentle, much like June's.]

Thank you, it is an honour to make your acquaintance. Ink City, you say...?

[yessirmrjohnson]

[ Strange. ] Yes. The city is filled with humans and human like creatures. [ She crosses her arms, waiting for his reaction. ]

[bravestofprimes]

[He can sense the tenseness in her voice and shyly looks off to the side, avoiding her gaze.]

I see. That is very informative. I will have to watch where I step.

[yessirmrjohnson]

So you don't mind the company of humans? [ Yep, out comes the clipboard. ]

[bravestofprimes]

They are a young, but strong race. I have witnessed their courage and ability to adapt in the most dire of circumstances.

They deserve nothing less than respect.

[He raises an eyebrow at the clipboard. Was he being noted on?]

[yessirmrjohnson]

I suppose it was foolish to think that everyone from your world would be like Starscream. So, what should I call you, sir?

[bravestofprimes]

[His eyes become serious once he hears that name.]

Starscream...a truly despicable warrior. What he lacks in strength he makes up for in strategy. I thank you for not judging our race by his reputation.

I am Optimus Prime, but you may call me whatever you wish.

[yessirmrjohnson]

He's behaved well since he's been here. I trust him and he's helped me a number of times. At any rate, I should warn you about an AI here named GLaDOS. She has a great deal of interest in your kind and has already attacked Starscream. I don't know what she intends to do with the knowledge she's gathering, but she might take an interest in you as well.

[bravestofprimes]

["Starscream" and "behave" are two words that are more often than not found in the same sentence. So forgive Optimus if his eyebrow raises.]

Please, madame, for your safety, it would be best if you avoided Starscream. He has done unthinkable things, and he is not to be trusted.

GLaDOS? I see...and she has...taken down Starscream? I hope not to learn of Cybertronian biology. We've kept it a secret because we know of human's capacity for war.

[yessirmrjohnson]

[ She considers telling Optimus how Starscream had saved her life, but she quickly remembered Starscream's pride and decided not to. ] As you wish, Mr. Prime. Now that I think about it, he is pretty evil.

I think that might be only a small fraction of what she's learned. She even has a sample of energon. [ No need to mention how she got it ]

[bravestofprimes]

[He nods, agreeing that Starscream is quite the dangerous one.]

This is...unfortunate. Energon is of short supply as it is...and it can be used for devastating things if not handled delicately. If she is to pose a threat, I fear I must take action.

[yessirmrjohnson]

That might not be a good idea. As I said, I don't know her motives or intentions. I just know she'll do what it takes to get what she needs for her work including saying whatever it takes to earn your trust.

[bravestofprimes]

I thank you for your worry, Madame.

May I know your name?

[yessirmrjohnson]

Caroline. You don't seem like you change into a plane.

[bravestofprimes]

A pleasure to meet you, Miss Caroline.

The ability of flight is a Decepticon trait. We Autobots do not have this technology.
