Nexus. By the sign. Helping hand.

The yellow one's face remains blank, though her optics track events that are long past and gone and her emotions suddenly jangle with pain and horror.

Even being offline brings short peace. Bumblebee's emotions soon spike up into confusion and sadness as she seeks her dead comrades through a dream of war.

*Auspex shakes her head worriedly, as her emotions chase her even in dreams. This is one very haunted individual*

*She takes her hand again, calling Primus' presence to herself, and through to Bumblebee*

*Child, be at peace.. These things have passed...*

[random_xtras]

"You!" She snaps awake, bristling like an abused dog who's been unexpectedly petted.

*Auspex's optics flash in startlement. Well, she's awake again, that's good...* Primus?

"You're too late." Bumblebee's optics are unfocused as she tries to pull herself up, aching with angry question and despair. "Go away."

[primus_seeress]

Why? *she attempts to catch Bumblebee's gaze, frowning in concern and concentration* You still have life before you. You do not have to live like a dead mech. Not all your kind are dead, either.

*She's begun linking her to Sellout, whom she spoke to in the Nexus not long before this... if this is one of the two he spoke of... something strange is happening. Why does she think Ironhide is dead?*

"If you loved them... why'd you let them all die?" She manages to gain her feet, but then staggers backward and falls onto the couch. "Why?"

A headshake as she curls up, awash with grief and guilt. "Go away."

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex worriedly accompanies her back to the couch, shaking her head slightly, speaking softly* Death is not the end of all things. They are elsewhere, now... but they have not ceased to exist.

"Go away." She covers her head with her arms, weeping soundlessly. "Just go away."

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex sighs, reaching out to pat the fem's arm softly. She pauses, conferring with Primus about what to do now, and is told.... to wait?*

*Do nothing? But... how can she leave her, in this state? Why?*

*It hurts, despite the comfort, that she is doing what has been asked of her. She feels like weeping, herself. She must be reminded... later. She can do something later. Now, other events need to happen, first. Patience, wait.*

I'm sorry. Don't despair... Primus is not yet finished with your story.

*And, holding fast to that promise... the priestess flees, deep in prayer, to help ward away the pain*

And Bumblebee weeps a little longer before falling into a doze from which Dropjaunt's arrival and Uzulee's return wakes her.
