*Waspy smiles* With Waspinator is just names. and only names of people.

Places and things Waspinator can remember, but names for people stored in different section of datatrax, and section is corrupted so names are not copied from short term data storage to long term memory.

Other Predacon subversives said Maximal Council might have tried to find out names from Waspinator and that is why that section has worst damage, because Waspinator did not want them to know.

Waspinator has big gaps in memories too, but sometimes that gets better.

*He's quiet for a moment at the question* Waspinator got here when Predacon ship crashed after Rex-bot brought Predacons here because Rex-bot thought would be good idea to change the past to make sure Decepticons would win Great War and that way Maximal Council would never exist.

Is stupid idea, and did not work. Is more stupid after seeing Nexus, because shows would just cause different timeline, not help Predacons at all. Maybe us never exist either.

Little xenos and Steadfast came here from Nexus. Nexus is strange place. Waspinator think rift to it here was caused by use of transwarp drive that was on Darkside cruiser. Transwarp is tricky sometimes. Waspinator was navigator on ship, and Dactyl-bot was pilot, before ship crashed.

Nexus connects all different universes and timelines. Is very strange, but Waspinator is used to things Waspinator does not understand.

*Metal nods.* Dunno how exactly memory systems work among my kind. Unless things have changed, about the only one who really knows is Wily. Wind was toying with things, trying to figure that stuff out for some reason...

*He looks a bit confused but decides to ignore all the unfamiliar terms for now.* This is going to take a lot of getting used to I think... Never knew that something like the Nexus existed.

*Ballade's dozed off, curled up near the wall, and still in his armor*

[pogo_boy]

I don't think most people know it exists till they wind up in it. It's strange that way. I don't know about Ice, but I was there by accident, and then Punk and Ballade came looking for me, and now a lot of people from my universe know about it.

*Quint notices Ballade's asleep, and nabs a few towels to tuck him in with.*

[morethanafan.livejournal.com]

*Air nods.* Definitely was a surprise when we found it for the first time. Of course, I ended up getting lost in the Nexus early on...

*He sounds a bit unnerved, but decides to comment on hearing the bit about what Wind is working on.* So he's working on that again? I knew he was working for it at one point before, but since it doesn't seem he tried any of it on you, he must not have managed to find a way to alter memory...

[pogo_boy]

*Quint fidgets and shivers* Our Wily knows how to do that. Or wipe things.

*He doesn't want to think about it, but glances towards Ballade. He's been very suspicious of late, wondering how much of Ballade's 'damage' was because of the explosion and how much might have been intentional.*

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

*Metal smiles slightly.* Have to admit, I really would have thought the Nexus was a weird joke of Wind's, if it weren't for who I'm hearing it exists from...

*He frowns again.* Wind was trying to figure out a way to alter memories without it being detectable. Apparently Wily never gave him that kind of knowledge... I could tell when he tried it though. The memories felt wrong.

[morethanafan.livejournal.com]

*Air sounds thoughtful.* Wily left that information out of the stuff repairers know for a reason. Wonder if Wily knows what Wind's been up to?

[pogo_boy]

*Quint shivers and sits down next to Ballade* Something always feels wrong. Like it's a bad dream.

I-I don't know, Air. I don't.. our Wily wouldn't even let us learn as much about repairs as you know. We weren't allowed to fix each other or ourselves. He didn't want us to be able to without him.

Yours is different about that, but I don't know what he wouldn't want Wind to know. And if they're anything alike he'd be very mad if someone did something they shouldn't.

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

When I say wrong, I mean that my systems could tell there had been tampering. They weren't quite the same as the memories already there that hadn't been changed. As far as I know, he hasn't figured out how to keep the systems from detecting the changes...

[morethanafan.livejournal.com]

*Air is a bit uneasy.* He didn't want us knowing that kind of information. I can't do that kind of thing. The reason some of us can repair is mainly that, with as little rules as he had about what we could do to each other, there would be too much repair work for him to be able to get anything new done. But if Wind is doing this without Wily knowing, there might be trouble...

[pogo_boy]

If ours doesn't have time or doesn't want to fix someone, he just sends them to the Gallery without repairs and doesn't bother unless he needs them again.

He did that to the ones I was sent out with the last time. H-he said he was going to.. what he did to me. That they didn't matter, they'd just been a distraction and a test for Forte.

I don't know if he did, or if he just stripped me for parts instead. He said he might leave them alone.

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

*Metal just looks horrified at hearing that. While being stripped for parts isn't new to him, the idea of leaving someone unrepaired unless they're needed again is. And it's not a pleasant thought either.*

[morethanafan.livejournal.com]

*Air sighs.* We never had enough room for Wily to just leave someone deactivated, except in odd circumstances. Therefore he stripped the usable parts and destroyed the rest...

*He doesn't really respond to the bit about the one Quint was sent out with, because he isn't really sure what to say.*

[bw_waspy]

*Waspinator finds that thread of conversation uncomfortable as well, glad he's always had access to the CR*

Nexus is very strange. Alternates are confusing. Waspinator has never met another Waspinator, but did meet alternate of Dactyl-bot once. Was very much the same as Dactyl-bot Waspinator knows, but was not fere. Little differences.

*He looks puzzled and glances out at the storm* Waspinator wonders if Dactyl-bot is still storm-flying. Waspinator has not heard lightning yet...

[pogo_boy]

It's called the Gallery because you can see them in there. I think he likes that. That we can see where we go if he doesn't need us, and we can see the others and our own places there.

Some of the others were scared of it. I liked it in there. It was quiet there.

*Quint doesn't say anything else. He shouldn't have mentioned that. Shouldn't have thought of it, or the team he'd been sent out with the last time.*

[morethanafan.livejournal.com]

*Air sighs.* And just to warn you, Metal, there are other versions of Crash and Quick that we've seen in the Nexus. From Quint's universe, I think.

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

*Metal calms down slightly.* Really? It seems a little hard to imagine that there are other versions of us existing...

*He sounds uneasy.* We always knew exactly what Lord Wily would do when he decided that he had no use for us. *He shivers* At least, we did before Wind showed up...

[pogo_boy]

*Quint nods slightly, latching onto the first topic to avoid any more discussion of the second for now* I met an alternate of me once, from another universe. I haven't seen him in a long time though.

*He's quiet for a moment. That Quint had still been with Wily, and with nobody to try to change things, maybe the reason he'd never come back was because they had all been destroyed*

It shouldn't be too hard to tell the ones from the same universe as I am. Most of them are smaller than you are. Our Wily didn't make us look that old. Most of us look like we're about nine to fourteen. I'm one of the smallest, and I've been mistaken for seven or eight years old. Iceman the youngest looking of any of us. Our Iceman looks about five or six years old.

Ballade's kind of unusual in looking older. And Punk looks older than any of us so far. He looks eighteen or nineteen, but he's kind of small and shorter than Ballade.

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

*Metal shakes his head.* Weird. I'm not sure how I'd feel about seeing another version of me. I'll keep that bit in mind. Definitely different from home...

*Something seems to suddenly fit into place for Metal.* That means there are alternates of those of us that were recycled, doesn't it?

[pogo_boy]

*Quint hesitates briefly and then nods* Yes, oniisan.

[morethanafan.livejournal.com]

*Air sighs.* It's a bit hard to handle at first, but yes, there are.

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

*Metal seems a bit upset at hearing that. He shivers a bit.* That sounds like it'll be more than a little awkward... I don't think I want to have to deal with that yet. The thought scares me.

[pogo_boy]

*Quint nods after a moment* If I see any of them in the Nexus I can tell them to stay away from you.

[morethanafan.livejournal.com]

*Air sighs. He knew Metal wouldn't take this that well.* Metal, you're going to have to deal with it eventually. I hope you realize that. Even if Quint tells them to stay away.
