User blog:Spikewitwicky/May 26th, 2015 - Spike's Journal Entry



Back at work. Had a good Memorial Day outing with uncle Ron, Aunt Judy, Buster, Jesse, Carly, Daniel, Meg, and dad. We went to the same Korean War memorial ceremony that we've gone to for the past few years. And I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a tad depressing. A few years ago, Sparkplug had about 50 other veterans who were there to talk with. Today, I counted about 30. And with Afghanistan and Iraq dominating the news, Vietnam is actually starting to be 'the forgotten war' - making the Korean War... I don't even know. Maybe "the invisible war". But it's something that definitely shouldn't be treated the way it is today. World War II gets the glory (justifiably), Iraq and Afghanistan are still raw and fresh in people's minds. But the Korean War, rightfully - and unfortunately, accurately is labeled "the forgotten war." Afterwards, we had a great dinner. I grilled out. And dad was as lucid and spry as I've seen him in months.

Back at home. Jumal isn't going anywhere. Apparently, he thinks that he can take a few weeks off to ensure the Autobot judicial system is living up to the same standards he expects other countries to honor. Jetfire is on Cybertron now. And in a highly-guarded detention facility. All Autobots injured in the explosion - Blurr, Optimus Prime, Prowl, and Blaster - are out of the repair bay. Jazz - I can't do anything else for. I pieced him together - which... was almost like building a new car again. But now, he's stasis sleep - in a zero-degree Kelvin cryo chamber. He's still very much 50/50. Which... is something I'm still trying to grasp - because of this event, I may never see Jetfire again - and Jazz may die.

Jazz's situation has officially entered the "beyond my capabilities" realm. The final operation will involve his neutral pathways and his personality chip - essentially if I was telling this to a reporter, I would say this operation would be to restore his brain - both cognative and the "involuntary" system. It's so complex that it will have to be done by both Perceptor and Ratchet. If they can't bring Jazz back to life, no one can. Spikewitwicky (talk) 14:09, May 26, 2015 (UTC)
