THE FOUNDATION

THE SEVEN UPON MY SHOULDERS

[chaospage]

@leadingfoundation ,

Apollo was strong. Built to withstand pressure from the greatest depths. To withstand, the crushing pressure that came with traveling between universes. Crushed, pulled apart. His robotic body never failed him, and yet.. he had never felt so weak in this moment.

Foundation, had never felt so heavy.

Diving into the depths of the water. Finally.. finally, finding where he crashed into the ocean. All that time spent searching, had not been in vain.

If only he had found him sooner..

Apollo was strong, but the desperate swim up to the surface.. had never felt so heavy. So painful. He never thought that he could feel internal pain like that. Like knives sinking into his chest as he desperately dragged Founder onto the shore.

Wake up..

He scanned the other, desperately looking for any hum of life.

Please.. don’t leave me..

Carefully he pried open his leader’s chest. Hooking himself up, willing to sacrifice all his energy to get the other stable.

“Stay with me, I’m right here..”

[leadingfoundation]

Time and time again did his frame try to boot up. Time and time again did he try to wake up. Every attempt made with everything his energy could muster, but every single time it failed. Over and over and over again. He had lost so much energy holding onto that zero point. Minutes turned into hours. Hours turned into days... days into weeks... and weeks into months. He knew he had to escape. He had believed someone... something could set him free.. but not like this. Not an explosion of this measure.  His body gave in once the blast hit. All his strength was gone. All his energy drained. All he could tell was something destroyed the one thing he was working so hard to control. And then nothing. Everything went black while his body flown through the air. All his lights and consciousness were turned offline. And he fell, and he fell, and he fell. One more try, his body booted up just before impact with the water.. but it was a sudden surge when his body hit and his vents began filling with water. His internal systems started buzzing, his inner warning alarms trying to hard to alert every possible component of his body.. darkness. Darkness once more. He couldn’t think of anything. He couldn't’ concentrate. He could only just sleep. He couldn’t feel his body being lifted from the water. He could hear the voice calling out to him. Pleading to him.  All at once, his body JOLTED once, twice, three times when his lights flickered online. His body sitting up quickly as he gasped for air through his vents. A sound that was similar to a cough wheezed from his vocals. Where was he? What happened? Who was with him?

He took a moment to breath heavily. Let his processor catch up without lag. His systems checked everything and it was clear he wasn’t near 100%. His head turns to Apollo. Letting out a relieved sigh before letting himself fall onto his shoulder. It was him. Thank the heavens... it was him.

Apollo wasn’t sure if it was because of the cable, or because of the warm, gentle hand, that made it easier for him to breathe. Artificial lungs moving air through his system, helping to cool him down. Cool down, his growing questions that he so desperately wanted to ask.

“ Calculated.. risk.. ”

He refused to be silent, but he did lay his head back. Let his limbs rest limply beside him. Ever stubborn. Ever the fighter.

“ Well. Fortunately, for you.. For us. You will not have to act alone. ” 

The servo remained, letting himself take a seat bedside. His visor hummed, letting red lights dance across it in a rhythmic motion. Offering hope, comfort, sense of security. 

“ You should be back on your feet within the hour. ”

He was safe. He was safe. He was safe.

Those words rang through his head, over and over again after the robot above him spoke. His sudden burst of energy to attack was gone in an instant, and he slumped back against the table. That heavy feeling returning, and remembering, just how damaged he had been. Possibly, still was.

“ Who are you? Where am- ”

His voice was strained, unable to get both questions out. Sounding like a mix between static, and scratching wires.

“I’m you, and you’re hurt. Lie still. Rest.”

His servo wrapped around the larger cable, adjusting it to fit back into place after coming ajar. Then, it rested on the others chest plate. Offering a comforting touch of warmth. 

“Your exposure to the rift was almost more than your body could handle.”

[triplethreatt]

“Unbelievable. It… actually worked.”

From the moment they found his ship adrift, The Foundation knew hope had not yet extinguished. After capturing, breaking into, and carrying- his own? weak frame into the medbay, the leader stood towering over the body. His gaze locked upon him, listening to the whirls, hums, and series of beeps the machinery was giving around them, though they seemed so muffled in his session of focus. 

Finally, he could hear the loud click of the monitor. The red of his visor growing brighter, signifying his satisfaction of results. 

“Vitals are returning to normal. As expected.” 

There-! Movement. His attention immediately returned, letting himself lower only slightly. The lights above limiting his vision was to be expected, but what wasn’t expected was the sudden aggression. Founder was quick to dodge the whip of a blade going for his throat, watching the wires yank him back to his slab. The frenzied nature that was triggered only gave Founder time to pin him when the other attempted to detach them.

“Stand down.” 

It was only when he felt the smaller form relax, did he slowly release his hold.

 “You’re safe. This, I assure you.”

The organics, crawling around like an infestation. They weren’t supposed to be here. They only hindered his objective, and maybe, just maybe, Apollo was still quite sour over his first encounter with them all.

His head snapped to the side when his shoulder was touched, but he immediately calmed when he saw that it was only Founders. Listened, when he spoke. Considered his words, even if he didn’t agree. Founders was his leader after all.

“ Yes. A walk. Will you join me? ”

“ An issue is not detected in that offer. I will. ” 

Heavy steps began advancement, his visor offering a few clicks to his colleague. His sights set for the landscape beyond them, keeping his posture straight and in well form. The feeling of the island lights breeze brushed synthetic mesh and slid across his metal like butter. 

“ My hopes that you have attended to your reports remain high. Are you able to confirm truth to it? ”

@chaospage

A firm servo clasps upon Apollos shoulder. His visor lighting up with a comforting flash of design. He clicks, moving his head slightly. " Anger will only cloud your judgment, old friend. I strongly advise you do not fall victim to it so easily. The organics are intelligent for their species, but unlike us they do not possess high data processors. They have much to learn. " Founders servo glides off his metal, allowing it to return back at his side. " Perhaps a walk will help clear your fog. "
