As much as he wanted to avoid having to go deeper into the war at this time the EFM emanating from Jetfire or, more specifically, the angry wavelength it gained as he spoke indicated that just might be necessary. Venting the temperature increased another degree centigrade; he had no doubt that such limited information was frustrating but he would have run out of coal several times over before he could get into the first several cycles...
"This is hardly the environment to share a more... comprehensive retelling. Had to give you the... micronized version."
He did not doubt the old dark Decepticon knew this but perhaps it would offset the frustration some. The comment regarding the Decepticon's response to the Prime's order to abandon Cybertron left him cursing his choice of words. He had to be more careful. As a look of pain shot across Jetfire's countenance again Gasket ensured his balance was steady as the weight shifted. He shook his helm, looking into the red optics as his comrade.
"Excuse my mistake; they didn't follow the Prime's orders. Best... I can tell is they realized the futility of staying around the same time as the evacuation order. My frame was off planet by... then. It was a broad-wave casting; everyone within the... sector likely heard it."
The memories flooded back as Gasket clamped down on his memory banks, shunting them off into secondary and tertiary processes in his matrix. Even after vorns away the thoughts still pained him. As Jetfire's optics closed, the
apology coming as something of a surprise, Gasket just vented allowing another pile of coal to fall loudly into his firebox.
"Worry not. despite my operative nature I am newly awakened also. Had I not been around in the last Joors... I doubt I would have believed it myself.
Shifting Jetfire's weight again he started looking over the frame for potential injuries, ensuring this bot was indeed physically sound to be walking about after his legs rebooted. Finding a place at the bot base, potentially, was something else entirely. If this old mech was still interested in the Cons he would need a scanning suite to find them accurately. Gasket almost wondered what else the old mech had with him aside from just his frame.
His optics stopped as a thought crossed his matrix... there was a way Jetfire could know the fate of Cybertron as though seeing it... through my eyes.
"An option is to cable-up..." he pondered. "Show you what footage I have left in my memory banks before... my own departure. I have no other way to provide more conclusive evidence."
Shaking his helm he thought it foolish; cabling was a touchy business normally and it was hard to regulate which memories were given and which were received. Venting once more he looked to Jetfire.
"It was a... juvenile thought. No offense meant...
