Journey to the Center of the Cybertron
This will be a mini-fate event, brought to you by Chibi and Saeru!
~~~
The Problem
The Pillar has been standing for several weeks now. Although the initial, reality-warping affects of its landing have worn off those who were influenced by them, other individuals may have noticed that it is far from done impacting the Haven as a whole.
If approached, it calls. If attacked, it retaliates. If touched, it changes whatever Refugee is unlucky enough to come in contact with it.
In short, it is dangerous.
However insidious its defenses are, however, even more insidious is what it seems to be doing. Those who have ventured close have realized that the Pillar comes from the Lambda and goes down, down, down...deep into what may be the Core of Cybertron. It may be drawing light, or altering the balance of the new world, or inserting something dark and wicked. It could be doing anything...but it is clear that if it succeeds, the Firstforged will remain gone and Unicron will triumph. Chaos will reign.
The only question now is...what will you do about it?
~~~~~
The Proposal
Jetfire has put forth the following proposal: To venture to the depths of Cybertron and find how far the Pillar goes. Once there, observations will be made and, if it is deemed feasible, the Pillar will be dealt with. It is clear this trip will not be an easy one, and without the Firstforged present it is not certain how 'permanent' death has become.
However, there is a way down: An elevator in Prima's temple that Hot Rod might know how to use.
Anyone is welcome to come.
What is learned down there may prove very valuable to character's futures in R/A.

How do I sign up?
Simply comment to this post with which character is coming, what they are bringing, and answers to the following questions:
The Deadline for sign-ups is end-of-day November 29th.
~~~
What happens after sign-ups?
The trip down into the Core and back will be assumed to take three days. In-game, this means your character will be unreachable from December 2nd through December 4th (which should allow us time to write-up mini-fates for all parties.) Before you have received your fate you are welcome to play out the descent, and once you have received your fate you are free to play out the aftermath! Since characters can return up the elevator at just about any point, this allows for an extra bit of fun.
A post giving the details of the Core and a rough over-view of the plot will be going up on December 2nd.
Unless otherwise noted in your mini-fate, all characters will be assumed to be back on the surface by December 5th.

How do I sign up?
Simply comment to this post with which character is coming, what they are bringing, and answers to the following questions:
- 1. If the Pillar offers power, knowledge, or charisma in exchange for betraying one of your party members (of your own selection), would you accept? (Betrayal being equivalent to that member becoming injured or experiencing a negative changing affect.)
- 2. If you noticed a party member is injured/negatively affected would you sacrifice yourself to the Pillar (IE take that injury/affect) to save them? Are there any characters in R/A this would NOT apply to?
- 3. Have you died in Re-Aligned? If so, how many times?
- 4. Which Firstforged, if any, have you received bonuses from? (IE a Firstforged has PMed you in the past with a special boon or ability?)
- 5. Are there any status affects which are 'off-limits' for your character? (We will be avoiding permanent injury, and all affects will be temporary.)
- 6. Are there any status affects you'd LIKE to incur? (SUCH as permanent injury or death?)
The Deadline for sign-ups is end-of-day November 29th.

Items: lol he's supposed to bring something?
1. No
2. Yy...let's go with yes. He might be more hesitant towards a Decepticon but so long as they haven't outright done anything TERRIBLE in the public eye, he'd do the same.
3. Yes, as a Glyphless- so, once!
4. --
5. None!
6. N/A

Once in the Core you lead the group towards the area Prima took you to...where you would notice that the dark blobs he once showed you have expanded. Now, one entire half of the spherical room is covered in darkness, and a pillar tendril has wormed its way in to take advantage of that darkness and eat away the light. It definitely feels like the badlands in here.
When some of the scientists want to stay, you stick around to help protect them. This ends up being needed almost instantly, as the badlands eject wolves every time someone gets close to the tendril. It is not easy work keeping Skyfire and Pharma safe, but there's a hero in you somewhere and he gets the chance to shine.
That same hero part is willing to volunteer when a guinea pig is needed--someone to touch the tendril, thus distracting it for long enough for Cliffjumper to hack away at it. Since you already know a bit what to expect from Pillar contact, you're saved from the brunt of its wrath...but it does endow you with a special gift before it goes.
It won't be difficult for you to find your way back to the elevator once everything is said and done, thankfully.
Status effect: Ice
Anything that Hot Rod touches (with the exception of the elevator buttons, for whatever reason) will instantly freeze. Metal becomes brittle, organic matter dies. Touching humans in this state would be a very, very bad idea.
On the plus side, driving around on a few mountains would create an awesome ski resort.
