OOC: Space, Week 1, Day 5. Event Horizon. One of the large viewing rooms. Meeting is for anyone in Med/Sci/Eng. If anyone not in Med/Sci/Eng wants to join, please ask first. You can post your character as already having been here, or as arriving. Alternately, you can choose to be present "in the background" (just PM me) or not present at all and your character can hear about things through other channels.
Botanica is not present in the room. Instead, one of the view screens which normally shows the stars outside the Event Horizon now shows her image. She is actually seated on a berth in quarantine, this video feed specially set up for this meeting.
The plantformer looks tired, and her colors from the waist down are almost all turned to shades of gold and orange from their normal green. Waist up, however, is normal coloration, a sign that the treatments she and Perceptor have been collaborating on are working.
She looks up and smiles at the first arrivals. "Thank you very much for coming. Let's give it just a few more moments for any stragglers."

Skyfire nods politely and sits down in the back, where he won't block everyone else's view. "Of course. Are you in good health, Botanica?"

Long Haul is here. He was here on time, too. He's not a late sort. Being late drags out your task, and that means spending more time on the job and less time doing things that are actually interesting.
This sort of thinking kind of falls apart when someone else's lateness delays you. Long Haul nods. "Yes'm."
OOC: Skippable.

Twin Twist being in this room is sort of like Pluto being surrounded by red hypergiant stars; he's only here because demolition is his primary function, and having the keys to the plastique locker places him in this division. He thinks Long Haul is pretty weird as an Autobot, but he moves to stand near Long Haul anyway. Twin Twist finds the logistician less intimidating than Skyfire, all the same. Sure, Long Haul's smarter than him, but Long Haul's not going to lose Twin Twist with a discussion of the anthropology of Betelgeuse.
He shifts from foot to foot, obviously ansty.

Bambi is actually in robot mode for once, up near the front, with one of her notebooks out and ready.
Right now, she's drawing Botanica, in her unusually ruddy morph. Social graces? What are those?

Like everything else if he could help it, Riot was late, fashionably late that is. He strutted into the room as though everyone else was there for him. Looking deadly in his build as well as freshly waxed and shiny, he picked a seat in the back row where all the cools kids sat and waited for the show. In the meantime he busied himself with mentally adding racing stripes to everyone, except Mr Green and Purple who got his green swapped out for black and given a mohawk.

Some people might swear that Elita-1 was in Xaaron's meeting at the same time that she is in this one. This is purely the Gen 1 cartoon realty's tendency toward animation errors and not because her player forgot what division Elita was in.
>_>
Just go with it.
The Autobot cadet is sitting roughly in the middle of the gathering, where she can hear and see everything well enough. She was on time, or course. She may sometimes be up for a bit or rule breaking, but overall, she believes in proper procedure.
Animation error approved by admin. >_> Skippable.

Ramulus comes in late. He blames the walking surgical knife who butchered him in the air vents and turned his flesh into the next new A la Carte Christmas Special.
But his self-repair systems will regrow all of that within weeks if not a month.
The bighorn ram trudges wordlessly to the front and flops down, nodding at the screen. "My apologies for not being on the clock, Lady Botanica, I'm afraid I'm slower than usual" There is a humorous tone to this. Self-mockery, Ramulus does it.

Somehow, Swerve has managed to show up on time in spite of his general loathing for everything surrounding procedure and protocol. It might have something to do with that odd habit he has of snapping to when orders are given.
Oughtta fix that. Standing and leaning against the far left wall since he's in no mood to sit and settle, he glowers at the tardy arrivals as they trickle in; the swaggering guzzler – Dunno him. – gets the foulest look of the bunch for the way he saunters in and takes a seat like he owns the joint. It's the sort of attitude that just sets Swerve's gears to grinding. "Let's get this thing rolling already," the racer growls, turning his scowl on Botanica. "I've got work I could be doing instead of standing around here staring at my serial bus ports."

OOC: Feel free to go skippable to keep things moving if needed guys.  Nodding at Skyfire, Botanica answers, "Well enough, Skyfire. We are making great strides on beating back the Cosmic Rust infection. It may be a couple of weeks yet before I can pass muster, but I'm getting better." "And we all have other work to do Swerve. I would not be pulling nearly everyone away from repairs if this were not important." Ramulus's apology gets a smile and a nod from the plantformer. She glances around. That appears to be everyone who was to attend- even Mayday. Inwardly, Botanica sighs. That boy's a bit off, for sure, but she really doesn't know how to fix the problem. "First, you should know that similar talks are occurring at this time with all members of the other divisions. We will be covering a matter that command felt was better revealed all at once, rather than allow it to trickle through the ranks." "You all recall this video, I'm sure," she says, "The viewscreen splits, Botanica still visible on one half while the Unicron newscast plays on the other, but with the sounds muted. She talks over the broadcast. "I'm also sure that most of you saw his influence on the planet we just left. His power and following is much grown over what any of us have seen in our respective realities. Even over Rodimus, who defeated the Devourer in his time." "Defeated, but could not destroy." "Now, is everyone here familiar with the Matrix which Rodimus carries? I know that it is not a cross-reality artifact."

Skyfire looks thoughtful; between treating the infected and innoculating the vulnerable, there was a rather long list of people that needed the CorroStop treatment. Skyfire's rather expansive frame unfortunately made him a bit of a resource hog in that department.
"Indeed," he says about the Unicron newscast. "I was the one who found the shattered remnants of Gillanan IV, along with our scout back on Gillanan III. Between the obvious overnight abandonment of Gillanan III and the destruction of an inhabitied world on IV...." He shook his head. "We knew no good news was coming."
"I have heard of it," Skyfire says, "but I do not know the details."

OOC: Skippable.
Twin Twist fidgets, continues to fidgets, and fidgets some more.
Unicron, he's seen. Yeah, whatever, that's a business for Primes.
At Botanica's question about the Matrix, he blanks and panics, "Uh. I can't answer that."
Whoops?

Bambi gives Twin Twist a brief weird look, but otherwise, she attentively listens to Botanica and takes copious amounts of notes. She says loudly, "Me Bambi going to ask him Rodimus Prime if him let me document it up close. Think there paper in that, maybe thesis."
What? Rodimus Prime asked her if there was anything he could do to make it up to her. Surely he can let her look at his magic doohickey for a while?

OOC: Still skippable.
Long Haul is faintly surprised that he's apparently the 'safe' one as far as the Wrecker is concerned, but he doesn't have much time to ponder that as Botanica starts the video. He was there the first time it played. It was disturbing then, and it's disturbing now, but for the moment, he's got nothing to do beyond listening intently.

Skipping Riot due to time out. Also, going skippable, myself.
"Not terribly familiar, no," Elita answers Botanica, "We don't have one of those. But the files indicate it is similar in ways to our Allspark? Just.. smaller."
Seems a refresher might be in order!
