User blog:Spikewitwicky/November 20th, 2017 - Spike's Journal Entry



I'm sooooo tired this morning. I had about 3 hours of sleep last night total.

I'm not even going to fact-check this. I'm just going to riff while the coffee takes its effect.

Last night, I was awoke by Crosscut. Well, first off, there as an intruder alarm. But I usually sleep through those. Many times, it's just a human who got lost and stumbled unto our secured space. But anyway, this one was real. Crosscut got me up, he said this was a "good opportunity" - to pretty much toss me in an area with little to no prep. He's done this before. I'm not a big fan of this approach. It sort of reminds me of when I was old enough to work on some electrical stuff in dad's garage. If I wasn't careful - if something wasn't grounded and it posed a shock risk, he would usually have me find out "the hard way" if I wasn't careful (he'd only do this if the shock risk wasn't severe - he's not a sadist after all).

Anyway - this is where things get fuzzy. We met this new Autobot. New, but definitely old. Apparently, they came from some "lost colony" - which is weird, because it's Cybertron. They're robots - there should be enough documentation to account for every square inch of that place. But anyway, this Autobot...Windshear, Windblade,  Windstorm, someone, kept talking about things like "titans" - even saying Metroplex was a titan himself. I'm not sure what she meant. It seems that she referred to Titans as some ancient being - and obviously, Metroplex is not that. He's only about 7 years older than Daniel.

She also kept talking about some other being. Solaris or someone. I know it's not Solaris - that's a book. But still, it sounded awfully close to that.

As soon as I get energized, I'm going to go into the repair bay and start fixing her up. Typhoon was part of the welcoming committee. Right now, she will most likely be granted a "guest pass" for Metroplex, meaning she'll have to be escorted at all times until she's cleared by Red Alert. To my knowledge, she's never been to Earth before. I'm looking forward to hearing her story.
