IC CONTACT

[primianpolarity]

Anyone attempting to get in direct contact with Prima will more than likely be using his Acolyte to request it. A slim drone as silver as its master, it moves with a purposeful bearing and seems to always be attending some job or another, but it seems willing enough to spare a few moments.


Feel free to RP out the contact, or to simply give a summary.

[Prima's quiet for a bit...and then takes a step. a slow one, with a look down at McCrane in clear invitation - or expectation.

walk with him.]

We are in this together - Refugee, Firstforged, all of us are intertwined. This is not simply a matter of you needing us - your own actions have an effect, as well. Which may be part of the reason Megatronus took action. Indefinite imprisonment...may not be the best choice.

But I agree that we should compromise. We do want you satisfied here, while you are here. And I think that granting you this autonomy would be a great step in this direction.

I do not want you to fear us. [it's spoken a bit quieter.] I would like your respect, but fear...

[another shake of the head, and he moves to the next subject.]

The longer a Refugee is here, the greater a connection they can have with one of us. This connection shows itself in different ways, but the most obvious is a reflection of our power.

[he holds up a hand, palm up, and a small sphere of light forms in it.]

Did this 'strange ball of light' look like this?

[mccrane]

That will be good to know, when talking to the Law Committee. Are there any other regulations they should know?

[If they couldn't do long-term imprisonment, they'd have to work around that to come up with something else. McCrane is confident that they'll be able to do that, though.]

With what we've talked about, I think you have my respect sir. [He's appreciated that you listened to him, and gave him clear goals.]

[It's a bit daunting to walk along with you, though, but he also does not dare refuse. This is the chain-of-command, and he respects that, too.]

I...yes. It looked exactly like that, but smaller.

[He's more than a bit awed at how you just produced that out of thin air, though magic isn't unheard of on his Earth. Usually, it involves a lot of chanting, though.]

This is part of what you were referring to, isn't it. About how our actions have an effect?

[He looks up at you past the ball, curious.]

[primianpolarity]

I am glad I do. [and he is. respect is something, as said, he far prefers over fear. and certainly prefers over anything else...]

I think that will be a start. I would offer more, but without another meeting of my brothers, I will not speak for anything we have not already agreed on.

[he flexes his fingers, then lowers his hand. the orb stays in slow orbit around his wrist.]

It is. In short, you've gleaned some of my power - enough for it to begin to manifest. Given time, should the connection between us stay, you will gain more and more.

[mccrane]

Then I will tell the Law Committee to contact you once they've made a decision.

[It was the best possible outcome he could have hoped for, and it's taken a lot off his mind.]

...

[The thought of gaining that power, however, is daunting.] Will this help me perform my duties better?

[It's the only reason he can see for being given what he views as a reward.]

[primianpolarity]

I look forwards to it.

[and he does.

McCrane's question...earns a thin smile, tiny and almost not there at all. how to answer that...]

It all matters on how you use it. It could help you with any number of things - if you chose to use it in such a way. For now, it is a simple thing. But something being simple does not make it useless.

[mccrane]

No, sir, it does not. This will come in handy.

[He watches how you wield it, and how effortless it seems. For him, it is still awe-inspiring.]

How did I receive it, though? I do not understand...

[primianpolarity]

It is related to the Glyphs. May I see yours?

[Prima halts at this point, kneeling down slowly]

[mccrane]

Of course.

[He turns so that it can be seen better, watching Prima as he crouches. The size of the Firstforged has always been a bit intimidating...but he imagines this must be what it's like for humans around the Brave Police.]

[primianpolarity]

[slowly, Prima reaches to point at the white design]

The connection between us is invisible, intangible - but is reflected by this Mark. Its design denotes how well we have... synchronized. One affects the other. And when a threshold has been crossed, something else transfers across that link - tangible power.

Do you understand, so far?

[mccrane]

I do.

[Looking down to his mark, it was a curiosity for him. Normally, he would be attempting to consider what source was providing the transmission between them, but this glyph did not seem to have any attributes beyond its glowing shape. There was nothing that could transmit, or receive, and yet a connection was happening regardless.]

What do you receive from me, in return?

[primianpolarity]

An ally. [Prima makes to stand there, his piece said.] With the world how it is, all such are welcome.

[mccrane]

It is my duty to preserve the peace. I have no reason not to ally with you.

[He bows his head politely.]

But it is still our choice, isn't it? If we wish to do so or not?

[primianpolarity]

[...]

It is. Forcing you to commit to us would be the same as Unicron's forcing of you to be his.

[mccrane]

Which...if I am to understand correctly? He will be attempting to do regardless?

[It made the alliance that Prima was referencing suddenly make sense.]

I understand.

Thank you for your time, sir. I will bring this information back, and hopefully have news for you soon about the Law Committee.

[primianpolarity]

[at that, Prima nods without hesitation.] He will.

You are welcome, McCrane. If you have need of further advice, I will inform my Acolytes to give you a priority.
