Warlinden | TFA OC

[Warlinden squatted and lowered her servo for Alice to get down.]

I will do my best.

[Then, she searched for a rock big enough and spreaded parts of her back armour to sit down and stretch her bird-like legs enough.]

[She lets Alice to think about it. Though, she can't hold the question.]

...would you like me to let you down?

[Warlinden stared in general direction of the Sun.]

It should be a long time until your star settles. Would you like to do something in this time? I am... Not much of an entertainer though.

That's good that you feel like at home here...

[And there Warlinden stopped.]

We've reached the cave. Here it is.

[What Warlinden described as a small cave was, in fact, quite huge. Especially for a human.]

It's definitely nice to hear this opinion. Break Out also said that he sees me going far... We'll see.

I feel warming up to them will be quite an adventure.

I just hope to get along with others. I can help them, I guess. I must prove my worth, maybe...
Cloning yourself to the point where you don't even know the original you. Amazing. Looks like I will have to learn too. I've heard, though, the clones are... Funky sort.

— was a nightmare.

I will do whatever I feel right to do. No matter the consequences. And. I'm... I will keep that in mind. Can't get the idea of more than one Starscream though... Oh. Knock Out was working on me not so long ago. We were removing that thing the Elders installed in me for me to fail at battle. That —

— back home, on fellow gladiators, but I refused. And I tried to tell everyone... Well, that didn't end well for me.

Most likely. I've... Heard of this story. Primus, I need to stop isolating myself so much. Khm. Medics that do things like this should not be counted as ones, I think. I am a medic myself, and I can't imagine doing something like this. And I hope I won't. They tried to make me do some atrocities —

Imagine that back home they did not allow us mostly any information on Megatron. I now understand why. If they would, more younger bots would strive against their policies. And older ones seemed too scared, though they've told stories. Break Out was surprised I didn't know anything of Starscream.

I even wonder sometimes how Megatron keeps it together. He is the leader for so long. Well... He is not a saint, as they say, but he is...

[She gets silent in awe.]

I feel so much more freedom under his command.

One cycle, they all will pay.

[Warlinden is deep in her thoughts.]

Too much power to handle is definitely dangerous. It corrupts so many minds.

So they will have to live the rest of their cycles drowning in their sins and sorrows... That's even harder than death. I like that idea.

[She vents again.]

Though, I won't be surprised if some of them are helm stuck up their afts enough to feel pride even in imprisonment.

[She realises it's not too peaceful of her to say.]

...yes, there is a big grudge I hold.

— would love to have a planet where noone judges you as well. Neither gives you functions against your will, nor...

[She vents.]

I don't say all Autobots are exactly bad. But I pity them. I know myself how it is to live like that. Their council needs to be terminated just like mine does. —

[She listens, thinking.]

It's always useful and important to have adequate opinions and views from different sides. And I am really interested in yours. This view... I honestly wish more bots had it. Though I've missed and am still missing most of the action, I have enough to say about it all. I —

— Some dubious, but possible peace. Though, I can't trust the ones who exiled us.
Well, that's the cons of being isolated for so long. We use the resources of our planet, but we clearly need more.

Too many snacks can cause a lot of problems. Especially for the digestive tanks. Or... He just keeps him in check to not be too pampered.

I wonder if this Magnus of theirs is just another corrupted frag. Huh... I am clearly surprised you are so trusted. You are truly a link that can bring... —

Tracker is great and really capable. I love him a lot. Can't hold myself with him. Pet-pet.

Steelhaven? I guess, it's the Autobot one. Mine can fit just up to four bots. And it's one of the best we had. We lack spacecraft builders in the colony.

— sniffing some.

[She chuckled.]

It's just old. I'll fix the thing eventually.

[She came out of the ship and stepped on the ground, heading in the general direction of the cave. Closed the door this time.]

Yes, Break Out was a great help. He taught me a lot on the go as well. I also cleaned the rust off, and I remember Tracker —

— Goodbye, Captain.}

...

[Warlinden headed to the door in silence, annoyed.]

[Warlinden came to the control panel.]

Helmeos-five, turn the controls on.

{Controls: on. Welcome, Captain.}

...this was not me who tuned that.

[Femme quickly typed something onto the panel.]

{Signal: added. Signature: Alice, identified.}

Good. Helmeos-five, controls off.

{Controls: off. —

—
[Holding Alice in one servo, Warlinden, following the soulless voice of her ship, smashes the wall.]

I. Didn't. Ask.

[She grunts.]

I need to add your signature first, wait a bit.

I can't thank you enough for the help.

[She lowers her servos.]

I know a small cave nearby. We can even walk there, no need to fly. They should be good there. I won't be surprised if they came from out of it. Helmeos-five, lights on.

{Lights: on.}

[Warlinden squinted her optic.]

{Warning-}

—

[She brings him back to the spot and stretches her servos again. They are actually both lucky this part of the ceiling os low enough for, even though long, Warlinden's servos to reach it. The bat is quiet, but hisses quietly when it sees Alice again.]

Primus, I hope it won't take off again.

[Warlinden offers her servos for Alice to climb onto them.]

It really landed almost at the same place where it started.

— should've known from the start.

[Warlinden listened. She turned around to zoom her optic onto the corner where the bat flew off.]

Should we try again? Can you see in the dark?

Heh. They will pay. I... We'll make sure of it. It was probably because of my and others much more free way of thinking they've decided to get rid of us. I've also learned that they were withholding a lot of information from us. Had to be introduced to a lot of new designations lately which I —
