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.

Well, he's definitely COMING
Items: His big-ass cannon
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?
If Megatron is allowed to chose? Then absolutely. He will use the hell out of any information the Pillar gives. He'll still destroy it afterward though.
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? He would, actually. As long as said person hadn't tormented him in the past and he figured he could use this in the future. Probably NOT for Perceptor, but thats the only one I can think of offhand.
3. Have you died in Re-Aligned? If so, how many times?
Y...es? Megatron had himself killed in the glyphless event.
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?) Not yet.
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.) NOPE
6. Are there any status affects you'd LIKE to incur? (SUCH as permanent injury or death?) Scars are cool.
no subject
This is exciting.
Anyhow, Megatron is excited to get to the core, because he knows that no matter WHAT ELSE happens on this trip he's going to get his revenge on the Pillar. He's sure of it.
He's even incredibly cooperative because of that, apart from the ghost stories that he decides to tell when the path is particularly dark.
Once he gets to the center chamber, he starts work immediately in trying to find the best spot to stand to shoot his cannon at the Pillar, enlisting Bulkhead's help. Together, they start to formulate a plan to take the Pillar out without bringing the room down on top of them.
As such, when Jetfire announces the plan of 'distract and destroy,' he's already ready to go!
Sadly, just after destroying the Pillar he's pulled into one of the wandering badlands patches and vanishes for a few moments.
When he comes out again, he's not quite the same...
Status effect: Body Swap
Because someone made a deal with the Pillar and placed that effect on Megatron, he and 4 will be swapping bodies for the next few days. They'll each retain their memories and personalities, but all other aspects (including Glyph powers) will remain with the body.
