"As an archivist, Orion, were there a lot of unpleasant findings? What would you say was your best finding?"
"One of the functions of the Hall of Records was to serve as the central hub for Cybertron's communication grid, and a considerable portion of the work we archivists performed was sorting and indexing any notable information that passed through it. While our Grid was not quite the same as your World Wide Web, it nevertheless bore certain similarities. There was... unpleasant content, yes.
"Fortunately, I have not retained clear memory of most of the details, as the speed with which we read and processed threads of information caused it to typically bypass our permanent hard drives. Only vague impressions remain, excepting occasions that required a more careful deliberation due to particular complexity.
"Material submitted to the public sector also required more scrutiny, and I do possess memories of certain... fiction and speculative theories that... I did not particularly care for.
"As for the best... it would be impossible for me to choose just one. The upper Archive within the Hall of Records is... was a treasure trove of information of all sorts, and I spent many cycles exploring all manner of topics that captured my interest. Ancient history, poetry, and the varying forms of the Cybertronian language were among my favorites."
