Journey to the Center of the Cybertron

[megaton]

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:

• 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.

~~~

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.

Comments

[young_upstart]

Character: Hot Rod
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

[sciencetank]

Character: Perceptor
Items:
His science kit -- data pads, energy readers, tools to collect samples, boring things like that. But no weapons. Because Pacifism.

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?
SORRY BUT NO. Autobot Code and all that.
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?
Yes. But he couldn't be convinced to do it for a Decepticon. Sorry guys.
3. Have you died in Re-Aligned? If so, how many times?
Nope!
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?)
Trion, Solus, Liege
5. Are there any status affects which are 'off-limits' for your character?
Not really, no.
6. Are there any status affects you'd LIKE to incur?
Not really, no.

[deadlydoctor]

Character:
Knock Out
Items:
He's bringing the Dark Star Saber Sword he got in the last item drop. It's practically as big as him, and just a sword with no powers now, but Knock Out can carry it and it looks intimidating. And it shines in the dark 8D He's also bringing his energon prod and the resonance blaster he got in the first item drop.

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?
Usually that would be a big YES. But Knock Out's tagging along to prove Bulk that he changed and he's now in his team, so he's done with the backstabbing, at least in this particular case. There's also the fact he doesn't trust the Pillar either and wouldn't accept anything from it.

2. If you noticed a party member is injured/negatively affected would you sacrifice yourself to the Pillar to save them? Are there any characters in R/A this would NOT apply to?
No, he won't. Knock Out cares about himself, first and foremost. He wants to prove to the Autobots he's on his side but he's not going to purposely get injured to do it. Some things never change.

3. Have you died in Re-Aligned? If so, how many times?
Yes, once.

4. Which Firstforged, if any, have you received bonuses from?
Mama Solus and uncle Liege.

5. Are there any status affects which are 'off-limits' for your character?
Uhm...brainwashing in some way? As in, altering his personality. I'm just generally not fond of that, sorry ^^ Body changes and the like are more than ok, though, those are fun.

6. Are there any status affects you'd LIKE to incur?
Nope.

[rednotbluethx]

Character: Frenzy
Items: Thruster gun!

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.)
- Hell yeah, he would! He'd sacrifice an Autobot, human, or any non-Decepticon in a heartbeat. He'd even sacrifice a fellow Decepticon, but it would depend on who. (Like if TC went PSSH NOCURR but Megatron, eh...)

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?
- Nope. Frenzy wouldn't sacrifice himself for anyone. And those he would consider aren't in this Cybertron. So, yeah, Frenzy would just say TOO BAD SO SAD and let them rot/die/whatever.

3. Have you died in Re-Aligned? If so, how many times?
- Nope!

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?)
- Megatronus!

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.)
- Nah. Go ahead and rough him up. Give 'im Hell.

6. Are there any status affects you'd LIKE to incur? (SUCH as permanent injury or death?)
- Permanent injury is totes awesome, but no death.

[primest]

Character: sentinel prime
Items: i guess just his lance and shield?

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.)
HAHAHAHAH probably only if the affected would be a decepticon. if it's impossible to know who would be the sacrificial lamb, then nah

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?
well... he is a prime. although he did just recently get his ass kicked by ambulon soooo... SURE WHY NOT

he wouldn't if it was for anyone other than an autobot, though

3. Have you died in Re-Aligned? If so, how many times?
there's a first time for everything BD

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?)
ALAS nothing

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.)
nah do whatever you want to him

6. Are there any status affects you'd LIKE to incur? (SUCH as permanent injury or death?)
nope!

[neverputincharge]

Character: Bulkhead
Items: Mostly himself, and probably a datapad of his own. And the cannon he got in the item drop, just in case it's needed to provide fire power.

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.)

Nope, sorry.

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?

Yes for most of the bots, and probably for Knock Out too depending on what he does.

3. Have you died in Re-Aligned? If so, how many times?

He hasn't died at all.

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?)

- System Efficiency from Nexus Prime
- Enhanced Efficiency and self repair from Solus Prime

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.)

Preferably no brainwashing/altering personality. Physical stuff is okay.

6. Are there any status affects you'd LIKE to incur? (SUCH as permanent injury or death?)

No, I'd rather not.

[angleofscience]

Character: Jetfire
Items: Starscream Weapons (among those his large rifle/cannon), a more conventional scanning device than what AU!him used to prod the pillar... he'd bring a remote for the containment field device if he could and it reached that far. xD

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.) He knows better than that, so no. (However tempted he might be for knowledge, just. No.)
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, yes, and at least regarding the effects there probably isn't any he wouldn't at least try to help (if not outright sacrifice himself).
3. Have you died in Re-Aligned? If so, how many times? Nope and none!
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?) Only Liege so far.
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.) I don't think so?

[originaldragoon]

Character: Rose
Items: Just her Dragoon Spirit and the Dragon Buster sword.

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? No, she's not easily tempted by those things.
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? Yes, especially if she knows the individual. Not so likely if she doesn't know the person or if they have proven to be dangerous to others.
3. Have you died in Re-Aligned? If so, how many times? Nope!
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?) Rose recently received a bonus from Vector Prime that basically makes her a human GPS.

6. Are there any status affects you'd LIKE to incur? (SUCH as permanent injury or death?) nope.

[tearsofsteel]

Character: Albert Heinrich
Items: Any weaponry is already built in him so

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.)
If the knowledge included something to do with his team back home and if the injury wasn't fatal, he'd definitely be conflicted about it.

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 sees the value in preserving the lives of his team members...and sees no real distinction in picking sides on the whole Decepticon/Autobot thing.

3. Have you died in Re-Aligned? If so, how many times?
Yes, once.
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?)

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? No, not really. He may try to stop something from happening but no self sacrificing here.

[notyourblueangel]

Character: Thundercracker
Items: onboard weapons - rifles with incendiary bullets, drone-controlled missile rocket

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.)
Surprisingly, considering he's a Decepticon?...no, actually, he wouldn't. 9,9

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?
Uhhhhh, depends on who - I may have to come back, see what other characters have signed up, and edit this list. So far, those he'd actively dive into harm's way from elsewhere for: Ventus and Rose (and I'll toss Four on the list even though she's not responded yet, so I don't forget, bc I think I saw elsewhere that she's planning to come given his way, she's be safely in his cockpit the whole time DX). Those he'd not dive out of his way for, but would act to save if they're right next to him: Megatron (old habits or whatever?...any way, it's good to save your commander so he doesn't take it out of your hide later for NOT doing so, right?), Starscream (another old habits...besides, fellow Seeker even if he /is/ a pain in the afterburners), Bulkhead (because...reasons...).

3. Have you died in Re-Aligned? If so, how many times?
Nope.

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?)
Well...there were two Adjustments posts that said "await a message from your First-Forged, but I only ever actually got a message after the second one - that's from Megatronus.

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.)
Can't think of any.

6. Are there any status affects you'd LIKE to incur? (SUCH as permanent injury or death?)
I'm open!

BONUS ROUND: TC's going, come hell or high water . . . but until there's something tangible in front of him to focus on, like the Pillar and attacking it, he's going to be having some nasty claustrophobia issues. HAVE FUN WITH THAT. XD

[thankyou4myheart]

Character: Deckard
Items: Just his pistol, unless someone wants to loan him something? 9,9

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.)
BOY SCOUT DON'T TAKE NO BRIBES, SON. DX

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?
LOL he'd save anyone to the best of his ability. 9,9 Dammit, Deckard...

3. Have you died in Re-Aligned? If so, how many times?
Nope. Though for as insanely active as his first month in Haven has been, that's almost a miracle! x,x

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?)
None.

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.)

Character: Optimus Prime
Items: His usual weapons

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.) - Nope, of course not.

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? - More than likely yes; but not for anyone known for attacking people or anyone trying to do question #1 to him.

3. Have you died in Re-Aligned? If so, how many times? Not yet.

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?) Prima and his awesome Light powers, and Megatronus' boon.

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.) Horrible, pointless death. (Death protecting a fellow Autobot or something, however, is acceptable. He IS overdue...)

6. Are there any status affects you'd LIKE to incur? (SUCH as permanent injury or death?) Not really.

Well, he's definitely COMING

[megaton]

Character: Megatron
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.

[wherenobotsgone]

Character: Skyfire
Items: Would it be okay to take the drone he got during the last item drop? If not, just a basic science kit (datapads, things to collect samples and the like).

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.)
Nope.
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 do it for most people, yes. Except I guess Megatron.
3. Have you died in Re-Aligned? If so, how many times?
No.
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?)
None so far.
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.)
I'm cool with anything!
6. Are there any status affects you'd LIKE to incur? (SUCH as permanent injury or death?)
None that I can think of, no.

[4_toteachus]

Character: 4
Items: None

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.)
Surprisingly yes. She would. Unless that person is Thundercracker or Jetfire.
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?
Since Four is seven inches tall, she won't really see the point.
3. Have you died in Re-Aligned? If so, how many times?
Yes! Once.
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?)
-Universal translations (Alpha Trion)
-Lightning fast calculations (Liege Maximo)
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.)
None at all.
6. Are there any status affects you'd LIKE to incur? (SUCH as permanent injury or death?)
I'll leave that up to you, the sky's the limit.

[brattery]

Character: Kevin Levin
Items: his own wits

1. It depends on who the Pillar wanted to hurt and what it offered. Kevin wants to know what happened to the firstforged because he misses Megatronus, and while he doesn't have a strong attachment to many people & doesn't care that much for their well being, he doesn't want to make Megatron mad by compromising the mission by allowing someone else to get hurt. It's also important whether or not everyone else would know/find out that Kevin "allowed" them to get hurt.
2. No, unless it were say... Megatron or Sari.
3. Kevin's one of the Lost Ones, and I don't know how that affects this answer. But otherwise no.
4. none ;w;
5. no
6. Mutation! :D Alien bits, robot bits, mismatched features, a body that's painful to exist in, whatever suits the pillar's fancy. EDIT: Also, energy cravings/temporary insanity. It's something he's learned to control (mostly) by this point in canon but maybe the pillar could trigger a relapse, and he'll get this thirst to drain something for energy just to get that rush of power again and throw rationality to the wind to get it.

[cliffjumper]

Character: Cliffjumper
Items: >_> His weapons. And of course the glass gas gun.

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.) Nope. Not even if it was a Decepticon, even if he'd be tempted.
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? For the Decepticons, noo, anyone else... yeah because he's stupid like that.
3. Have you died in Re-Aligned? If so, how many times? No deaths!
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?) Megatronus (as firts bonus secondary)
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.) I think mind control and such, otherwise none?
6. Are there any status affects you'd LIKE to incur? (SUCH as permanent injury or death?) Not really!
