I'm on Cybertron writing this. Which is still weird writing no matter how many times I've been here.

So, I was given the notice by Dust Devil to get my aft to Cybertron. Things are set in motion. I brought my overnight bag. I really didn't say any "farewells" to dad, Carly, or my kids. Main reason is that my gut reaction is that I'm just a condiut, I think. e.g. "None of the Autobots can speak Russian - so - find a translator - say what needs to be said, then go home." I've handled the key to the plasma energy chamber repeatedly. No troubles. No third arm grown out of my back. But - and I don't know if Dust Devil was just being Dust Devil, but he said "bring MREs in case you get buried for a month." Ha ha. But...damn him for making me pause. Yes, the key so far isn't a big deal. But - what happens when I put the key INTO something? Could this be something that could legitimately kill me? I don't think Alpha Trion would put me in jeopardy, but given the stakes... hundreds of millions of Cybertronian inhabitants in exchange for one life? Sounds like a no-brainer. But I'm almost positive that A3 would allow me to make that decision on my own, no trickery needed.

Shit, I'm overthinking this. Just take the key, put it where it needs to go, then run like hell.

I can do that.
