Nexus and Auspex's reality. Park by the sign and the sanctuary. Enter Bob

[gentle_seekers]

There's a flash and an explosion over the Nexus... and very few people look up other than to ascertain that whatever just went boom isn't coming down on their heads. It's not, so they go about their business as though nothing has happened.

Whatever it is streaks toward the park and leaves a smoking crater as it hits.

And a soft, wordless alarm call sounds in a certain priestess's spark.

*And Auspex moves... having no wish to be run over by a down-to-business, hurried half-Mini-Con. She does a bit of a double-take at the tree, before peering at what Hormah is doing, ready to help in any way she can, if she can.

The younger femme's still praying. Auspex will feel that. She'll also hear the steady stream of Minicon cussing.

Hormah scans again, but again, only picks up some ghosts of processor activity. No sparks.

The Minicon turns to prayer as she sinks her arms into the scattered earth and wrenches the two seekers out of it, stumbling backward and nearly falling before she catches her balance and lays them down. Dirt is blown away from the purple mech's spark compartment, and then she rips some pieces off his dead brother to shore up the shattered container. A few jerry rigged connectors made from wire also torn from the dead mech, and then she sticks her hand in the compartment and lets rip with all the energy she can put out.

*Auspex 'hovers' nearby, beseeching Primus to make it clear what's happened here... she's not sensing a spark, but on the other hand, she sensed that bit of pain earlier, and there's definitely no mistaking Primus' call...

She doesn't understand, but she may learn..*

-Birth- it's more a feeling than a word, but unmistakable.

Hormah's beeping falls silent as she cuts loose again, the force of the charge causing the remaining gun on the damaged seeker to grow. More importantly, once the light of the charge fades a soft, wavering glimmer remains in the jerry rigged spark compartment.

And Auspex's senses are flooded with pain.

*Auspex silently supports Hormah's attempt to jump-start the mech's systems, blinking at the random weapons upgrade - strange power, that is, and apparently not exactly under her conscious control, at least at the moment. But... it seems to have worked, as Auspex finally catches a faint glimmering of spark-sense.*

*She squeaks in surprise, and shudders at the decidedly not faint wave of pain that rushes from the seeker. She rushes forward to get a look at him, while trying to keep out of Hormah's way in the process... pain, ack... pain needs soothing...*

Hormah leans over her patient, head spinning and tank churning from the effort she just put into getting him restarted, but then turns her head and looks up as the sound of twin rotors comes from over head.

And meanwhile the purple mech's face is twisted as he whimpers.

"Shhh," says Hormah softly in Cybertronian as she feels him shaking. "Shhh. You're going to be alright."

The grey-black Osprey flips up, contracting and expanding, and it's a mech nearly as large as Blackout who lands and hurries over to the crater.

*Auspex senses Hormah's discomfort, and stops a moment, to put a hand on her arm* Are you all right?

*she blinks, wide-opticked, at the descending helicopter, astonished to see a mech that appears to be of hybrid technology, much like Hormah herself. She has no idea who he is, but Hormah doesn't seem alarmed, so she lets the question be, for now.*

*Meanwhile, the magenta seeker seems to be in quite a bit of pain, and her spark aches for him. She reaches out to take his hand again, mostly for moral support, but perhaps she can do some good channeling to him, as well. For now, however, she simply stays out of Hormah's way.
