[An acolyte accompanies you on your journey out to the craters, silently leading the way across the many dips and crags of Nexus's rocky quadrant. Though it is late at night the sky is alight with the distant tails of meteors traveling in a cluster of bright streaks towards the horizon. The acolyte finally stops at the edge of one of the biggest craters, bowing once and sliding off again into the night.
Nexus stands with his back to you, hands gathered behind him in a thoughtful pose, his strange and constantly shifting exterior framed by the light of the meteor shower. He glances over his shoulder when you approach and offers a weary smile.]
Beautiful night to go flying, isn't it? Or out on a joy ride perhaps...
[His smile slowly fades and he shakes his head.] Might be a long while before I have time to do either of those again.
But this is about you, not me. I've asked you here to speak with me about the future. Very soon, things are going to change in a big way around here.
[Nexus hunkers down, giving you his full attention and maybe your neck a bit of a break from craning up so high to see his face.]
The thing is- I have to leave soon. The pillar has convinced my siblings of what I've always suspected- that we have had it too easy up until now. We must focus more of our efforts on keeping Unicron at bay.
That is why I need you and the rest of those that bare my glyph to take care of the haven. I won't allow Cybertron to grow stagnant in our absence. I'm counting on all of you to keep it alive and growing.
Can you do that for me?
