Don't wake up just yet, my hive. There's nothing here.
I know I'm supposed to run off and explore everything I can find, but when this planet's sun sets, it gets SO cold. So the first couple nights I came back into the cave to feel y'all's warmth and stop feeling like I was alone on this rock.
So if any of you are dreaming of meeting me, hold on. Don't go mad over a little bit of comfort. You'll KNOW when I find enough to feed us all.
None of the life forms here speak and in fact many of them flee as soon as I make any sound or steps.
This SUCKS. Judging by the energon I've found, there wouldn't even be enough to sustain TWO scouts, so I understand why only I came out of stasis. But it would be nice to have a companion!!!!!!!!! on this stupid barren planet!!!!!!!!!
Bloody hell, I can't wait to meet you all.
---------
My hive!!! I met someone new today.
I was trying to snap off a huge energon crystal that was about the size of my waist and shorter than my forearm, when this voice behind me calls ... no, demands, "you there. scavenger"
Ouch, I guess.
I turned round to look and he was just the skinniest thing you've ever seen, kin. Trying to make himself look bigger with his wings spread behind him, and grand gestures, and ordering me around like "hand over that energon"
This energon I travelled for days to find? The energon I thought I'd be able to sniff out from a distance, but since my eyes are constantly irritated by this planet's light, my system is working hard to reduce visual irritation and so all other senses are dulled, and I can barely smell anything? And I have to navigate by COLOURS, and there is nothing BUT a constant dance of colours everywhere I go?
These trials, and I'm just supposed to hand over all my stuff?
I gave him half, my hive.
I took the thinner stick of energon I'd got earlier and had tucked under my arm. I snapped it in two and held out half to him.
He scoffed. SCOFFED. and was like "do you think we are equals?" and his whole body was shaking, probably with rage, maybe with hunger? I was thinking hunger, with the way his optics lit up at the sight of the energon.
Yes I bloody well think we are equals, despite your borderline hostility.
Which quickly became actual hostility.
He lashed out with these long claws then, which irritated me a bit, so I gave him a shove in return. A small shove, but he fell back on his butt and squealed??? Like, are you the boss, dude, or are you just pretending to be the boss. How about no one is the boss and we all work to earn our keep.
While he was on the floor I made sure to stand over him until the message was delivered. If he wants a battle of strength, he's already failed. Yelling and pretending to attack. Noise doesn't equal strength.
He got the message, because he was barking things at me but also staying completely still. And by still I mean he didn't move forwards or backwards. Dude was shaking like crazy, but basically yielded.
I stared him right in the optics and then I kept staring as I slowly crouched to the ground and left his half on the floor in front of him.
"Half." I said again and then backed off.
And went on my way.
