In reply to: Orbital of the Council 's message, "Amazing" on 19:07:41 08/14/01 Tue

Alex was beginning to catch up. So...the Senate really has almost everyone fooled by this, don’t they? Even Chancellor Chi? If I may ask...how do you know all of this? How do you know how this happened, why the Council was set up and such?

Orbital stopped walking, and faced a small creek that had been set up to run through the length of the park. It’s been pieced together, bit by bit. Some, I overheard and now remember from my time as a prisoner of one of the Senators. Other bits were told to Perceptor over several lunches with your Grandfather. It’s touch and go, but so far, we have it down.

Alex walked past Orbital now, and sat down beside the creek. He stayed quiet, waiting for Orbital to continue.

Anyway, all it boils down to is this: The Council is really nothing but a public front. Something for the public to relate to. We’re the ones who are supposed to be their heroes. We protect and serve them. In a legal, government way. The Senate would never agree to our traipsing through the universe on our own. But we do. Orbital grinned. We do, indeed.

Thanks to Perceptor’s work on restoring my memory, we are aware of what is going to happen to Cybertron. We are aware of it’s fate. Aware of the despot that will one day rule it. And we are aware of the fact that we will stop him. No matter the cost.

Alex wasn’t very surprised by this. It made sense, in a way. The Council, set up as puppets, weren’t as controllable as the Senate thought, and were striking out on their own. Living up to the reputation that Cybertron’s citizens, and the Senate, had thrown upon them. Protecting the future of Cybertron, the only way most of them knew how.

In the short time the Council has been around, we have had the time to build a network for preserving Cybertron. I’ll get to that in a moment, of course. When we decided to take this upon ourselves, we also decided not to bring the Senate in on it. We know for a fact that one, or more, of the Senators are responsible for my memory loss, and thusly may have a hand in Cybertron’s fall. It’s too risky to tell them of our knowledge. We have found ways, however, to get around them.

Once I had my technological know-how back, I built portal generators for each of the other Councilors. These generators are able to open portals that are untraceable, if we want them to be, and that leave no signatures, no way of detecting them without physically seeing them. Using these, we are able to portal in and out of the Council building without the Senate detecting us.

Alex was impressed. Gadgets like that would have been a great tool for thieving in his father’s hands. Thankfully, his father’s hands were empty of such technology. Will I be getting one?

Of course, Alex. You’re a Councilor, now. You now have full access to everything the rest of us do.

Alex was beginning to like this more and more. Orbital took a cue from Alex, and stole a seat beside the creek. As was now an unspoken custom between the two, they fell into an easy silence as they watched the water run past them. Alex briefly wondered where water like that would come from on a vastly technological planet, but then remembered where he was. If greenery was able to grow here, he knew that water must run from somewhere for them to grow.
