Nexus. The Black Dog. Adjusting to Change

[lumina-mechnics.livejournal.com]

It has been a few weeks in his universe's time since he's been back to the Nexus. Having met with Blue a short time after the incident, he already knew that Blue and the others were no longer here.

Curse that blasted Decepticon.

He has various reasons for not returning to the Nexus until now. The one he'll most likely admit is the fact that the Ark's become a bit hectic as his reality's Earth 'Cons have kicked things up a notch and are taking full advantage of their turn on the 'boom' side of the war's boom and bust cycle. Okay, they haven't taken over the world or anything like that yet, but only at a heavy price for the Autobots stationed on Earth:

A busy medbay.

And when the medbay is busy, someone's gotta make sure technical stuff in the Ark gets checked over and fixed, which would be him.

On top of that, at some point, Random ate the last Sunrise Hormah gave him.

No, he can't remember when, and that bothers him.

He arrives in the part of the Nexus near the bar via his PINpoint. He takes in all of the sights of it, picking out what has changed and what has stayed the same. A moment's hesitation delays him before he walks through the door for the first time since he learned of the eventual change . . .

//You're... welcome.// That smile, and the familiar way in which the other mech spoke his name has Ratchet wanting to ask questions, but Orion is calling. He hesitates, opens his mouth, and then sighs and goes.

Random nods once in good bye before the smile fades away and he gives attention back to his drink.

"Don't be sad." A largish puppy muzzle gently pokes at the side of his face.

He flinches at the sudden noise and contact, letting out a little startled yelp. Did he just get put into a Disney film?

Gathering his composure and pushing back the memories from his time with Tierron, he steadily lies, "Who said I was?" But his face gives him away.

Random has also initiated a scan of the furry sparkling.

"Look sad," says Pooka, giving him a little puppy kiss and a sympathetic whimper.

There's tech similar to Blackout's there... but there are also Maximal elements to the little guy's design. Yeah... just another mixed up Nexus kid.

"Sorry to bother you then."

Okay . . . You know, he really wish he hadn't asked scanned. He really didn't. Some parts remind him of Hormah, but the organic parts are bothering him the worse though.
