THE GORL HAS BEEN COMPLETED. WE NOW HAVE THE GANG. @/Gknight did an AMAZING job with taking all of the concepts and design ideas and putting them all together for these #humanformers!
I'll do a lore drop on Veronica (human Vesper) later!
~She was content to stay there as long as he needed her. Admittedly, she knew she should call Ratchet in, but right now she just wanted this moment for the three of them~
~She reached to caress Star's cheek, leaning in to nudge their foreheads together. This is all she wanted: for him to be back~
Don't push yourself trying to figure it out. Take your time. Even if you're back, you're still in recovery.
(&&)
~The instant Prowl was there, she wrapped one arm around him as well to keep him as close to Star as possible. Though she sat up a little when she squeezed their beloved too tightly~
Sorry, sorry! I just... It's been so long. We thought we lost you.
~She jolted awake at Star's yelling and glanced quickly between both of her loves. What was happening? Was this a stasis dream? She'd had so many of those over the past cycles~
Star? How?
~Nevermind. No questions. She threw herself at him, wrapping her arms around him tightly~
It's refreshing, I'll tell you that much. Cybertronians can get a little caught up in the rules of living. Autobots follow a specific path. Decepticons follow their own.
I suppose this is why I've always been "unfactioned."
I'm a free spirit!
Rแฅฒtแฅดhแฅฑt: By all accounts, I don't know what the heck's wrong with him. All of his systems are in perfect condition. There's no damage to his body. It seems like he just... ๐ ๐๐ฏ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฉ.
~If only it really were a nightmare. Unfortunately, everything continued on in rapid succession. Ratchet arrived with the others to transport Starscream as a group. He was far too big to be carried by the medibot alone. He was laid out in the medical bay, (cont.)
hooked up to the machinery, and there he stayed-- barely alive. Vesper plunked herself down in front of him, watching his barely flickering spark as Rathet moved around him to do his tests~
(cont.)
~She sighed, nuzzling back against him. Anything was worth a shot at this point. She called Ratchet on her coms, and despite his reservations about Starscream, he could hear the desperation in her voice. How could he tell her no?~ (cont.)
to look Star over~
We need to call Ratchet. His spark is... well it's barely there, but it's ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๐ฅ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ๐. Maybe Ratchet can put him on spark support, and we can figure out how to save him?
~She wasn't ready to let go. Not yet~
~For a long moment, all she could do was cry. The grief was too much to bear. Then something registers: His spark isn't going out completely. It's dull. It's almost dead. But it's still there. She nudged her head against Prowl's own affectionately, then sat up enough (cont.)
~Finally, she broke down, crumpling into a mess of sobs on the Decepticon's chest. She wanted to speak, but she could hardly vent. She was crying so much she couldn't see. All she could do was cling to his lifeless body and let it all out~
~She couldn't believe it. This wasn't possible. Tears pricked at the edges of her eyes as she pressed the palms of her servos against Star's chest. She could still see his spark straining to remain lit, but the rest of his body had completely gone offline~ (cont.)
to be with him again. There was no way he could be... she couldn't even finish the thought. She fell to her knees in front of the two of them. Her servos trembled, reaching to touch him but hesitating~
Is he...?
~She perked up when she received the call, but Prowl's tone of voice worried her. He'd never sounded like that before. Not even when the two were talking about the argument he and Star had. Something felt horribly, terribly wrong. She was off as fast as her wings could (cont.)
take her. But nothing prepared her for the sight of Starscream's body lying lifelessly on the ground!
Oh no... NO NO NO! Don't you dare!
~The shout was aimed at Star, not Prowl. She'd spent so long trying to get back to him, fighting her way across star systems just (cont.)
