*Auspex is again kneeling before the central mosaic, palms flat to the ground, in commune with Primus*

*All the strange things that have come... sparks created from incomplete slivers, more free-sparks, injured sparks that refuse to be comforted... friends that try her patience, assumptions that have been made... Why now, why all at once, like this? Auspex confesses that she is tired, that she can only invest herself emotionally in so many people, before she begins losing herself. Primus is all that she has, to sustain her in this... and she could use some of that, right about now...*

He reaches across the table to put his hand over hers comfortingly as compassion and a hint of regret colour his feelings. "All of it has happened. Nothing's changed, though I can't think too deeply on that without getting a processor ache... and please don't feel that, because you didn't. I asked Primus what to do about the slivers, and he said to give them to him. So I did. All I remember of the time on the other side of the Veil is that I was there... and the echo of a memory of a song too great for my processor to compute. Until a few cycles ago all my memories of life before the assembly line were faint, like they were locked behind a firewall. But I always knew that I was waiting for something. Primus wouldn't tell me what, but when the wall went down I knew."

*Auspex pats his hand, listening quietly to his explanation. She smiles wanly* No, pondering paradox only brings overheated CPUs. So, Primus specifically asked you... but he apparently had something to teach me, as he didn't tell me... and I'm not sure I've learned that lesson yet. I... tend to blame myself for too many things, I think.

Hmm... and he kept your history from you, until you had grown in your own right as a Cybertronian. That's... amazing. So strange, but... *she shakes her head slightly, marvelling*
