"You knocked your planet out of orbit," Spike repeats dully. There are so, so many things worrying about that statement. Yet the only two he can think of are 'wow, Carly is going to want to meet these guys post-haste' and 'wow, EDC is going to be so not happy having these guys on Earth'.
Spike climbs out of Optimus to go look at the Sphere and flame. Seeing the way the Transformers look at it makes him look with fresh eyes.
It's good to get out in the green. Clears his head a little.

"Your age would be a good starting point," Emirate Xaaron agrees mildly with Rodimus Prime, not actually answering his question. He explains to Optimus, "The Matrix Flame is sort of a pilot light, you might say, that indicates the well-being of the Matrix and its bearer. Should the bearer or the Matrix be removed from reality," more funny phrasing, "in some fashion, the Flame will go out. The Flame can invoke life. I... wonder."
He puts his thumb on his lower lip and thinks for a moment. "I wonder if we could make a second Matrix Flame."
He also wonders if the fire would burn green if they did.
"Not me personally," Emirate Xaaron corrects, when Spike uses 'you' a bit indiscriminately. "It was mostly Megatron's fault."
In his reality, anyway.

"No planets were knocked out of orbits in my lifetime!" Rodimus protests. Rodimus won't hold the Trail of Tears against Spike, personally, if Spike doesn't personally hold the whole, 'planet out of orbit' business against him, thanks! That was over half a million years before he was built!
He looks over at Xaaron as he approaches the flame, then looks back at the Sphere while he carefully settles himself into the grass to get a closer look. "I suppose that might not be a bad idea, if we can... avoid contaminants. I'm not sure I'd know how to get started, though."
OOC: Should we fade out to general touring soon?

"General you," Spike replies as both Xaaron and Rodimus protest they didn't knock their planet out of orbit themselves. He's got two little brothers and an assortment of cousins. He has to pull out the 'general you' a decent amount.
"Carly's going to love you guys," he adds, eyes on the eternal flame. "-- say, did you guys pop by SETI before you visited the UN?"
OOC: Good with a fade soon, but I do want a chance for Spike to react to the fact the Autobots didn't.

OOC: Whenever everyone is good with it.
Rodimus Prime would know better than any of them, actually. He carries the Matrix. The Matrix should know. Emirate Xaaron doesn't go on about that right now, however.
Instead, he just pulls up a few more things on his datapad and then answers Spike, "No. Our main purpose is hunting down a war criminal. The sooner we may legally do so, the better. I understand that some countries will be angry about the approach we took, but it was the quickest way to get the message out."

"I look forward to meeting her!" Rodimus exclaims, and he's being honest. He likes Carly well enough, even if he did get off on a bad foot with her. Certainly, he knows better than to blame her for Spike quitting on Fortress Maximus (he had done that before meeting her, after all).
He nods to agree with Emirate Xaaron. "We weren't trying to snub anyone, but we wanted to avoid giving too much warning. The earlier we announced ourselves before showing up here, the more the Decepticons or... anyone else who might have problems with this would have had time to prepare." After all, they had one assassination attempt with warning.

"-Carly's going to kill me." The aliens visited him first, in what is essentially a 'sit down, Witwicky, and don't bother us for a few years' job?
He's so sleeping on the couch.
"She'll understand why you did it, but yeah." His eyes go up to the sculpture. "Thank you," he adds quietly. "For not making it easier for your enemies to hurt us."
"So!" he adds, straightening. "Want to go see what else is in the Big Apple?"
I'm good when y'all are.

"Do you require protection from Carly?" Emirate Xaaron asks, entirely seriously.
At least, he seems entirely serious.
But then he smiles and replies, "But of course."
