Found Family...

[primus_seeress]

*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...*

*She smiles faintly* I am content to wait on Primus' timing and understanding... but it very hard, emotionally, when to do so conflicts with the primary job he has given me: to heal and to comfort. I trust that Primus will do what must be done, but it is still a painful thing. I think it is rather, that I still must learn to more often seek peace in Primus' peace, instead of dwelling on his pain.

*She shakes her head, with a concerned frown of her own* I haven't, not since you went back to the physical computer, after healing her. I have not had an opportunity to tell her; if no one else was told, other than myself... then no, she doesn't know. *she winces a bit*

[random_xtras]

He nods, then sighs. "Well... maybe with the not knowing it will save her some confusion and pain."

Regret rises up softly. "I wish I could have done all this with less pain to others. But I didn't know enough...."

[primus_seeress]

*She gives him another wan smile, faintly amused* You will have to explain yourself, if and when she sees you as a Transformer, you know. But you are alive and well, and that is the most important concern.

*Auspex grimaces slightly, but shakes her head* It was too new to you. I realized, when it happened, that you didn't seem to understand what made a spark so sacred to Primus; but I'm sure you're teaching it to others, now.

*Another smile appears, this one more pleased* I am so relieved that Primus has brought you back to the living world. The Allspark is all one could ever ask... but there are so many things that need to be done here, as well. I don't understand why you were originally created in the way that you were, and I suspect that I never will... but I am glad, all the same.

*Again, the symbol he bears, other than the Autobot insignia, catches her attention* The mark you wear... it has to do with your function?

[random_xtras]

"She'll see me," he says softly. "No matter who she was made from... she's my creation, and I'm responsible to her for that."

Then he sighs and nods, though with a slight smile of his own. "When they let me. And... I don't understand that either. I think it might have been a case of an accident of free will being taken and used." A glance at his arm. "Yes. We wear them so that we're easy to identify. No Autobot or Galvatronian will shoot a bridge."

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex nods her approval* She will be surprised, certainly, but I think she will be pleased, as well.

...accident? *she frowns slightly, blinking at the concept*

Galvatronians? *articulation is fleeing quickly in favor of confusion, apparently*

[random_xtras]

"Well, they seem like accidents to us. The Greater Creator's mind is a lot bigger than our processors." He frowns as his own boggles yet again at trying to comprehend something it's not built to, then uses the hand that's not holding hers to rub his forehead. "Yes, Cyclonus's Decepticon faction. They've used that name since shortly after she died."

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex winces slightly, herself* True; Primus is enough of a mystery to his children, at times; I hesitate to even begin trying to fathom hiscreator's ways. *she chuckles softly*

*She 'hmm's thoughtfully* The Decepticons have split apart, then?

[random_xtras]

"Maybe some day," he murmurs a little wistfully, but then nods. "Yes, several times. But most of the faction lines are very fluid."

[primus_seeress]

*she frowns a bit* Still more infighting, though... it's somewhat discouraging to hear. But that is another 'someday', I suppose.

[random_xtras]

"On the positive side, the Galvatronians are more likely to fight beside the Autobots rather than against them."

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex blinks in surprise* Really? That is... pleasant to hear. What brought that about?

[random_xtras]

"I wonder myself," he admits. "They aren't officially our allies, but everyone knows that- besides blowing up our fuel dumps enough to be annoying- that they don't do anything offensive and can be counted on in a fight."

[primus_seeress]

Hmm... that is strange. The other splintered Decepticons are still fighting the Autobots, then?
