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.

*Auspex makes a little mournful sound, coming a bit closer, to the opposite side of the seeker* I can channel Primus' power to his spark, that may help a little... I'm not sure it would be enough, though... *she trails off unhappily*

[nightwind_benz]

"No...." The linked femme jitters and beeps, her terror fritzing her processor a little. "I... I can fix it. Just not with the tools."

"What do you mean?" comes Bender's voice from where he's climbing Hormah's leg.

Hormah, for her part is unconciously trying to let Nightwind feel Primus's reassurance and support.

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex leans on the wall, trying to push back her own anxious amazement. She is beginning to sense the fear... the fear from a Mini-Con spark. She's seeing Hormah in a new light, and it brings wonder and trembling... it's like she's translating between Mini-Con and Primus-born spark energy. And she's trying to share Primus with Nightwind... if it works both ways, it's quite possible it will work. And that, she's instinctively positive, has never been done before. In short: wow.*

Nightwind cycles air through Hormah's intakes, then absently reaches down to pull Bender off her/Hormah's leg and sets him on the side of the berth as she grasps for the reassurance that she can feel being offered. Primus, she doesn't recognize, but Primus recognizes Who she's praying to as he hears her across the living bridge. His reassurance becomes tinged with approval, and she grasps at that too even as she whimpers and links her combined body to the port she just finished putting on the purple mech.

And... to her shock the purple 'Con flees from her in terror, and it's Nightwind who finds herself offering reassurance that she doesn't want to hurt him, she only wants to fix him and make the hurting stop. When he cringes and withdraws again she turns to Hormah, asking that the bigger femme do for Bob what she's doing for Nightwind.

The purple mech relaxes, and suddenly his shell is surrounded by light as the link is completed and Nightwind's gift is activated.

And Bender stares.

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex wraps her mind in Primus' presence, listening intently to her companions' impressions, fascinated at this ability to sense Nightwind.*

*She starts in surprise, when the Mini-Con's unease is suddenly completely overshadowed by an even greater fear, from another source. The seeker is aware... and utterly terrified. Nightwind is confused by the sudden role reversal, but Hormah soon soothes him. Auspex soon feels somewhat disoriented, keeping track of the minutae, and withdraws her senses somewhat, but unwilling to break it off completely, when she has this chance to sense a Mini-Con spark*

He shivers inwardly as he hears the two female presences talking, then sighs as the bigger presence reassures him that no one wants to hurt him.

He relaxes, but then jags with pain as the rapid healing of his body wipes away the sedation program that had been used on him. All his senses snap into being and a groan breaks from him as his fists- both whole now- clench with pain.

-Just give it a minute,- says the one female. -Really, just a mo, we can totally fix this, and you're gonna be fine. Really, really!-

-Suck it up, Bob,- the other says softly, the words accompanied by a gentle mental push. -Yer gonna be fine, b'y. 'N yer safe here. Me 'n my boss won't let nobody hurt ye. Neither'll Auspex.-

-Then why are you both scared?- he whimpers, his jaw clenched as the awareness of the damage he's suffered becomes more acute.

-Because I'm gutless,- says the jittery one. -Uh... there. That should take care of the pain....-

He relaxes. -Why are you calling me Bob?-

-Well, what is yer name?-

-I... don't know.-

-Bob it is! :D-

Bender watches the healing through the glow, and the peace that gradually grows on the seeker's face, then looks up and around at Auspex. If he actually had a face he'd be going '0_o?'

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex hisses as the seeker's pain flares again. She takes a few steps forward, attempting to make her presence - and Primus' - known to the mech*

*She looks back at Bender, giving a little helpless shrug. This is not something she's accustomed to seeing, either. The spiritual part, she can sense and understand, but much of it is unfamiliar technology at work. His difficulty in making sense of this is most probably the reverse of hers; still, the reaction is much the same. This is something out of the ordinary, on all counts.*
