Shadowraker tries to pick up the Cube and fly it out of the case and make her way back to Zepar.
Zepar pondered as he looked at the design of the door, trying to see if it had any clues to what lay behind it. He also tried to be careful to not get too close to the door so as to not make the sentinel think he was gonna break in.
The cube was surprisingly light, as Sprocket, Wildsong, and Sidestrike had observed.
The divine light cyberglyph was one seldom seen on its own. Usually, in texts found in Golden Age ruins, it was accompanied in a string by glyphs representing Primus or the Allspark. Here, though, it stood solitarily in the dead center of the door.
Shadowraker soon reaches Zepar and gently drops the Cube in his hands before perching on top of his shoulder and chirps for a little snack, which Zepar gives her and she munches on it quite happily.
“Okay,” he said, “let’s see what this does.” He brings the Cube close to the door and waits to see if it reacts.
“So where do you want to go now?” Gronius asked Epsilon. @BlackBeltGamer98
Song remained in her lab. It was just then when she realise that it was still full of scrap metals. She opened the door and started looking around for somebody that could help her clean the mess.
Alterion was walking in the little Iacon, not really knowing what to do now that he abandoned Redstocker. He was feeling exactly like Gronius, but in a somewhat bad way.
“Idiots! Only idiots, Redstocker!” the old Autobot was mumbling for himself. “You don’t need anybody! You don’t need Mr. Alterion! You don’t need Mr. Blight! You don’t need that rat! You don’t need love! You are Captain Redstocker! Show the world how you earned this name! Exactly! And then they will all come to you, begging to be the ones pushing your wheelchair, upon my honour! Yeah! They will all beg to you, and then you will be finally happy!”
There is no reaction. Perhaps the cube wasn’t the key the sentinel had mentioned.
A large section of Little Iacon was cloaked in darkness, for a massive light fixture in the ceiling of the main hangar had been shot out in the last battle. Large shards of glass and other debris had been sent raining down upon the buildings and roads, and there were many wounded crew members.
“Oh, just a second.” Epsilon said as he lightly whacked the side of his head a couple times. “Mechanimals.” He said a couple times before he shrugged, “Guess my head got a bit of a glitch on the word.” He said, making a mental note to have a doctor run a diagnostic on him for if it was anything dangerous.
Zepar continued muttering, sometimes drifting into Ancient, “…key, what key?..divine light…” he muttered.
He mentally goes through the list of Ancient artifacts they had. Gauntlet, nope; Cube, unfortunately not…key…key…key
Blight threw his cape onto the mess, pushing it all into one corner.
In the meantime, Pixel had leapt into the pool of syrup, covering himself in the goop. When Blight neared him, he jumped out, a giant monster of yellow and glass, roaring intimidatingly. It may have scared the annoyed bot, if it wasn’t for the fact that he only rose to Blight’s ankle.
“Don’t you have anywhere better to be? Like your vents?”
If Zepar had seen the Omega Map, his knowledge of cyberglyphics might reveal to him that a portion of the verse inscribed around the door could also be found running down the center of the ancient datacard.
“Eureka!” he yelled suddenly, startling Shadowraker in the process.
She dives and pecks him in the face a couple times.
“Sorry-ow!” He yelped before his bird landed nearby.
“Hey, Grommet? Sprocket?” He said on the comlink, “Can you guys come to the Savant with the map? I found an interesting door you guys might be able to help open up.”
“I’ll be there shortly,” Grommet replies. “I just have to finish getting my counterpart checked into sickbay to get his arm reattached after his complete and utter failure to protect the map.”
“He was invisible!” Sprocket could be heard protesting on the other end. “How’m I supposed to fight a guy I can’t see?! You give it a go sometime; see how it works out for ya!”
