The countryside is layered with snow that is up to four meters deep, all fallen within the past two months as a cold season falls upon the country. There are numerous roads in between towns and small, domed minesteads and each road is oddly clear of snow and ice. Closer inspection reveals that the surfaces are heated by some technology buried beneath the black surfaces. Occasional construction crews can be seen tearing up or laying down new surfacing over a web of thick, coated wires that presumably provide the heat. Snow is often found sculpted near crossroads, taking artistic shape in anything from beautifully arched sculptures to recreations of local fauna.

Wildlife can be spotted here and there, with a large herd of antlered beasts making their way across the snowy grounds. Webbing between their toes (yes, toes) allows each of the large, white animals to traverse upon the snow-tops with barely a print left in their wake. Hunting parties can be seen chasing after the fringes of this herd while wearing some sort of hovering harness and it is evident that the beasts are a primary source of meat for the people. Birds flit back and forth, a few predatory mammals can be spied at the edges of the icebound forests, and there are a variety of serpentine pets kept by residents fortunate to live in the warmer domed towns.

Speaking of towns, the three within the barrier's reach are spaced roughly twenty kilometres away from one another, forming a triangle of commerce that sustains each. Aihsohlow represents the southernmost town, Phorezton the northernmost, and Markutte the northeastern one. There are a variety of small minesteads in between that would greet travellers, but only reluctantly allow them into their homes. Stories abound of troubles outside the domes and they are not apt to invite said troubles inside.

[And as the car rolls up, he gets a closer look at the details. The red and orange and yellow that's like all the toys he grew up watching on commercials and thinking "OH MAN I WANT THAT ONE BATMOM— BRUCE". What a beaut. If you were all Fast & Furious 2 and ten years ago, this would the car to have.

Maybe he can paint it over with a sleek black and red strips on—

He bends and takes a good look at the interiors. A moment and a low whistle later, he grins sheepishly, assumes his alter-ego Peter the mechanic that hovers around in bars and talks trash about what's good shop work.]


Back to town, where there's people and a warm bath wouldn't so bad either.

I can give you a ride.

[The holoform remarks.]

But it's gonna be a weird fit.

[The canopy of the passenger cabin slides forward - much more akin to an aircraft rather than any commercial car. Cybertronian vehicles weren't really constructed with several passengers in mind, but he could probably fit in the space right behind the driver's seat. If he didn't mind the lack of seatbelts.]

[The readouts were rather in-depth as well, if he chose to take a closer look. It seemed as if it was decked out with quite a few scanners. Some searching for life signs, energon (whatever that was), and other energy signatures.]

If you're offering, I ain't complaining.

[A better look at the interiors reveals it to be more like the Batmobile in one of its many designs. Equipped with scanners, and all the good stuff that doesn't come in usual kedan cars. The only problem is how the fuck is he going to get in.

He stops his mid-climb and leans back a bit.]


Don't think I can get in to the back with you still in the hot seat...

[He changed his mind about stealing the car since well, he's got a soft spot for brunettes but that's besides the point.]

I'm not trying anything funny, I swear.

[Jokingly:]

I'd hope not. Hate to make enemies with another Tu Vishan resident so early.

[Rodimus isn't too concerned about any funny business. Largely because it's Rodimus, and the worst that could happen could be explained with some sorta.. Car AI. Or something. Humans have those, right?]

[The holoform steps out to wait on the side, and the seat pushes itself forward and tilts a bit with the whirr of electronics.]

[Step in, buddy.]

Well, you don't have to worry about that. Not a Turtle native. Just another schmuck pulled in to fight some voodoo war.

[He shrugs but smiles a quick thanks.

This is uncomfortable is the first thought after he folds himself in the back. He can still breathe and it is warmer here but his knees are touching the back of the driver seat. And he might have banged his elbow on the —he doesn't even know what that is.]


Wow.[He looks genuinely and pleasantly surprised because:] This is some ride.

In the same boat as the rest of us, huh? Oh - and thanks. It's crazy what you can find in these auctions. I'm half convinced they must have some sorta inter dimensional hijacking thing of their own.

[Rodimus can't resist a compliment - even if it might be better to just drop it altogether.]

[The holomatter avatar steps back into the seat before taking hold of the car's steering. With a smooth whirr of motors, the clear cockpit settles back into place, and the vehicle begins to pick up speed with the growling engine.]

[Not exactly the most comfortable or secure spot for a ride, but at least it was something.]


Got a name?

[Jason scans over the instruments and screens frowns. This isn't really the Kedan language he's come to expect but who the hell knows if the islands have different languages. He's not really buying that it was found at an auction though, but he'll play along.]

I'd be lying if I wasn't a bit jealous of this ride. This must have cost more than a few bucks. What'd you auction off, your soul? And you think they have another one? My ride's nice but this is better than nice.

[Just briefly, he wonders ...is this the kiddie seat... ]

Yeah. Joey. You?

The natives here are pretty well connected with technology. I'm sure you'll find something in one of these towns.

[Speaking of somethings. Something mechanical behind him shifts as they make a sharp turn, almost as if the vehicle itself had tensed a little as it moved.]

[But it's just a weird space car. Cars don't tense up.]


You can call me Rodimus.
