User blog:Spikewitwicky/Spike's Journal Entry - June 8th, 2015



I'm really not doing too well on this Nebula thing. She's been in Autobot City for about 3 weeks now, which was a major victory, given that it was practically like extracting teeth getting her on Earth to stay here for one single night. I saw her watching 'House' - and I made an off-handed joke "The next week here, we start charging rent." Bad joke, sure. Ask anyone who knows me, jokes have never been my strong suit.

Anyway - she said "I could always stay at the space station."

We talked briefly about Jets. She said the Autobots were "stupid" thinking Jets would do this, because what scientist/tactician would announce his intentions within Autobot City? Fine. But ... a crime DID occur. AND he's the prime suspect. He was captured on tape not once, but twice (Blaster picked up some audio). He's an ex-Decepticon. And like it or not, you are going to be under more scrutiny with that past.

Anyway - I wanted to mend things. Keep her at least in our court. She called the Cybertronian civil war "dumb" or "a waste of time." Yeah... war that's approaching the 8 million year mark does seem pretty senseless. But it's not like the war was fought over false pretenses. If the Autobots lose, the Decepticons will go about conquering the universe. It's not like they're going to be happy with their place in the universe.

So...I tried to talk more. And it just went downhill from there. Crosscut will no doubt have a wealth of stuff to 'talk' about. I can't help it. I'm a mechanic. I see something wrong, I want to fix it. Now. But most likely, I just needed to step back and give her some space.

Separate topic... it's been about 4 months since Alpha Trion died. And I'm beginning to think that he truly is gone. All of the stuff that surrounded the actions around his death are now resolved. Starscream is preoccupied with other stuff. You would think this would be the time where the Autobots would engage in a "let's revive A3" initiative. But I'm not seeing that at all. Even Optimus Prime seems to be moving on. Maybe he is gone.
