“Plans for your what?!” He is just going to stand there looking appalled. When he first caught a glance the plans he had just figured it was speculation and theories, but actual tests and experiments to test such theories was more than a shock.
“Red Alert, I understand you have a natural curiosity for these things, but you aren’t a mad scientist. Why wouldn’t you let me know about this? What if some of these tests are dangerous?”
Granted he hadn’t completely read the documents to know what the experiments were, but he still wanted to make sure his bondmate wasn’t going to accidentally hurt himself trying to solve some mystery.
Wish a sigh he rubbed the side of his face “So….what are you even trying to figure out?”
In retrospect, he should have been consulting his bondmate from the beginning regarding this project. Red Alert vented softly, stroking at his chin guard; it wasn’t all that dangerous compared to other experiments, but even then, their sparks were both involved. To hold such information back any longer would not only have been rude, but potentially detrimental.
“Well... to put it bluntly, I’m trying to figure out how newbuilds were created on the colony worlds.” Shuffling past Scattorshot, he moved towards a stack of datapads on his workstation and pulled two from the lower sections of it. Luckily, nothing fell over. “As you know, they never had access to the Well as Cybertron did--all they had were the Omega Keys, which, by contrast, do not contain as much energy as the entirety of Primus’ spark. It is just enough to give them a slight boost in energy and to cyberform worlds--when properly used, of course--but other than that... they cannot produce new life. So. Where did they come from?”
Simply by speaking with the local Velocitronians he had found a few answers, but none of them made sense. At least, not to his knowledge. Handing over the datapads, he smiled. “I want to test a few theories, based on what I’ve gathered from both Velocitron and Animatros, who each have different methods, so to speak. So, self-experimentation is the only way to go. But... I will require some, ah. Outside assistance.” Meaning, his mate.
