At the hospital

[kigan_starborn]

Kigan: *hugging Cureall*

Cureall: *snuggles close*

Kigan: I love you.

Cureall: *kisses* Love you.

Kigan: *rocks gently on his feet after the kiss* She's going to be alright.

Cureall: I hope so. *fits her head under his chin.*

Kigan: *holds her close, sending comfort and reassurance*

Cureall: *purrs softly*

Kigan: *looks at the big chair in the room* You should try and get some rest.

Cureall: But Oriana, she needs me! She'll think she's alone. *can be easily pushed*

Kigan: You're not leaving her, and I'll be awake. *gently tries to steer her toward the chair*

Cureall: *plods over to the chair* You sure she won't be alone? *clutches him*

Kigan: *pauses to hold her close again, projecting reassurance.* We're here in the room. And I can still feel her.

Cureall:*sighs and cuddles as she finally sits down* Promise to wake me if something changes?

Kigan: *settles on the arm of the chair* I promise.

Cureall: *smiles and powers down her optics* I will try then. *shutters them* I doubt...I...*purrs to sleep*

*Auspex steps into Autobot City, leading a mech that looks disturbingly like Hot Rod (at least, disturbing in the light that a certain Rodimus Prime is in charge here, and he and his youthful other-self can't both be here) - she simply explains to Metroplex that he is an alternate, from the Nexus; it's much less complicated that way.

After requesting Cureall's whereabouts from the Transformer-city, receiving them, and thanking him for such, she beckons her companion to follow, hands outstretched to help him, should he stumble.

After a somewhat long but uneventful walk (well, there are a few bogglers, but never mind that), Auspex leads the Teletraan to one of the offshoots off the main medbay.

Here, they find Kigan, a recharging Cureall, and the patient in question, Oriana Pax.*

[kigan-starborn.livejournal.com]

Kigan looks around from where he's standing next to the life-support pod that's holding Oriana's spark, perking slightly at sight and feel of Auspex and then frowning and wondering at the storm of emotion from the Mech who's asking in a shaky but rather emotionless voice why being an alternate of Teletraan wouldn't work.

Then he frowns as the mech turns his head and looks at him. "You're not a Transformer. Not anymore than I am."

Teletraan gives him a bewildered look and then looks at Auspex.

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex offers her reasons to the computer for not introducing him as a Teletraan* That... would be a much longer explanation. There are several models of Teletraan, and none are very... portable. I suppose they could also do what you have done, and create a facsimile, but I'm not sure that's ever occured to anyone, before.

*Auspex nods greeting to Kigan, glancing pensively at Teletraan as the former makes his observation, and the latter balks*

It's... very complicated, Kigan. This is Teletraan - Oriana's host computer. He... somehow has the rudimentary workings of a spark, pieced together from slivers of others... I can't understand how it works, but I can sense him, if faintly. *Confusion, but acceptance - Primus does strange things at times - color her thoughts*

He was worried for Oriana, and I saw the two of you leave the Nexus with her. I was going to see if she was all right, myself, so I brought him here.

How is she? And how is Cureall? *Her gaze wanders to her recharging friend, nearby, with gentle concern*

[violet-cure.livejournal.com]

Cureall makes a soft noise and her optics light up dimly. "Kigan? Is somebody here?"

When she sees Auspex her eyes brighten to full power. "Sister Auspex? What is happening? Is Oriana alright?"

[kigan-starborn.livejournal.com]

"She's the same." Kigan walks over to offer her a hug, though his optics remain on Teletraan. "Her..." He pauses to consider the emotions he's reading from the AI. "...Creator's here."

Teletraan's noticed the pod, and his optics widen as he wobbles again, concern nearly knocking him for a loop.

[random_xtras]

He nods, then carefully opens the stasis pod, picks up Oriana's spark with his bare hands, and absorbs her into his body. "She won't die."

And Oriana sighs and starts sparking with all sorts of emotions... most of which could easily sum up to 'DADDY'. Her pain has faded, and the familiar environment has her relaxed and fully resting.

Teletraan responds gently and patiently, a very slight smile on his face as he works to rebuild the light matrix.

Kigan's just standing there with his arms around Cureall, his wonder at the emotional exchange clear on his face.

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex's optics glow softly with approval, though they flicker a bit still, as Oriana's sentiments overflow.*

*She watches Teletraan, still struggling to understand how he acquired this bit of the Prima's spark, and why he is a creator-figure to her, though she existed before him. It is a such a strange concept, this sparked- and re-sparked-from-another-spark. But she can't deny the sentiments between them, here. She smiles faintly, seeing their relief at finding each other.*

[violet-cure.livejournal.com]

Cureall is unaware of these emotions, and mearly watches with a hopeful smile. She is purring softly as she snuggles into Kigan's embrace.

[kigan-starborn.livejournal.com]

"She's feeling better," he murmurs softly, then winces. "But now she's crying."

Teletraain blinks and looks down at himself with bewilderment, internally asking Oriana what's wrong and finding himself confused by her inability to reply.

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex sighs softly, and attempts to explain to the baffled Teletraan... and hoping it won't stagger him too much*

She is overwhelmed. The stress of her time without you has built... the difficulty of trying to understand what had happened to you, what was happening to her. She will be all right, but she needs a bit of time to express a somewhat complicated jumble of emotions.

[random_xtras]

He listens to Auspex, then turns pained optics to Cureall and tries to stay solid as he nods. And now there is guilt coming from him faintly.

Kigan frowns, then firmly projects comfort and reassurance to all the other people in the room.

Teletraan's optics go wide.

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex explains, as she continues offering comfort, moving aside to let Cureall come near, also* Kigan is a projecting empath; he can send feelings also. He is sending you calm... try to relax..

[violet-cure.livejournal.com]

Cureall smiles softly and wraps her arms around Teletraan in a hug. "He is helping, or trying too. Just like me."

[random_xtras]

Teletraan lets his head rest on Auspex's shoulder, relaxing as the pain fades. The white femme will feel his emotions settle as he says in a low voice, "The Sparkmaker took care of her. I made an error, but He gave her what I failed to factor into my plan."

"It's called family," says Kigan, walking over to go to one knee next to them and smiling slightly as he continues to gently project the calm and reassurance. "'God puts the solitary in families'."

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex smiles faintly, nodding in encouragement* She was cared for, and she endured. It may still cause you pain, but you know that she was not abandoned.

[random_xtras]

He blinks, and both Kigan and Auspex feel slight embarrassment. "Forgive me, I'm not fully focused on my surroundings at the moment, but I should have known that."

"It's alright," says Kigan soothingly, waiting for the femmes to lead the way. His mouth is turned up in a slight smile at the feelings that are coming from Oriana now. The young femme is very close to waking, and the knowledge that she just acquired from Teletraan has taken a great load off her mind.

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex shakes her head, dismissing the apology* You have more important things to focus on.

*She senses Oriana's distress is much relieved* What did you tell her, if I may ask? I'd still like to understand a little more of how this works.

[violet-cure.livejournal.com]

Cureall mearly smiles and leads them to a much bigger transformer sized bunk. "It's understandable that you give her priority."

[random_xtras]

"Everything." He gently extracts the spark from his person, then lays it on the bunk and watches as Oriana's body shimmers and then takes form around it.

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex blinks at his brief answer, though she watches curiously as the light takes form around Oriana's spark* 'Everything' is... somewhat general... *she prompts for more detail*

[random_xtras]

"They... will... never know." He wavers again as he nods. "It... is, but my core is too far to access. Energy... levels depleted. Must... return."

[violet-cure.livejournal.com]

Cureall squeaks and nods. "Then do so! We will watch over Oriana till you get back, and then you two can talk more."

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex looks somewhat skeptical; it is difficult to 'hide' when one has access to the Nexus. People have a way of gravitating toward others of their universe. If any of her people come here, and speak with her... but discussing it now is not an option*

*Auspex nods quietly* Don't drain yourself too much. If her body is stable now, we can watch her.

[random_xtras]

He nods, fading further as he turns toward the door. "I... require assistance."

[primus_seeress]

Ah. *Auspex nods, coming forward to his side, to curl her hands around his arm* I'll help you back to the portal... unless you can't make it that far. Does someone have a PINpoint with them, perhaps? *she frowns in concern*
