"Yes, please."Nebula nodded. She liked this planet, but she knew that they were outsiders here. She would have loved to be able to see Cybertron for herself.

"Right then..." Hound ran through his files and chose a few. "This here is Kaon. It wasn't one of the better cities. Kind of rough. Lots of gladiatorial matches and stuff. Heh, probably not one of the better places to start off with. Sorry. Just that I spent a fair amount of time there."

"It's okay. How come?" Nebula's optics were fixed on the image, committing it to her memory banks.

"Well, this goes a long way back, mind you, I was part of the security forces. Those gladiatorial matches I mentioned? That's where Megatron got his start. We were trying to track him down and put a stop to the fights. Horrible things. Death matches that were recorded and then the recordings were sold. It was, to say the least, barbaric. He was based out of Kaon and so that's where we were." Hound was quiet for a moment, his optics darkening at the thought of what had happened there and how horrific the fall of Kaon had actually been. Shrugging off ghosts from the past, he quickly said, "That was then, though. I know. Here. This is Crystal City. It was one of the prettiest places on Cybertron."

"Wow."Nebula breathed. That's...amazing. "I wish I could have seen it for myself..."she said softly.

"Yep, it was amazing. Just another thing destroyed by the war. Here's Iacon. That was the capital. Nice place. The Autobots were based there."
Hound showed her the hologram and smiled.

Nebula didn't reply, instead kept her optics on the image, wishing again that their home planet had not been destroyed by the war - she would have given nearly anything to be able to see it in its full glory. She hoped the mechs and femmes who had lived there before the war knew just how much had been lost.

Hound kept the image going, showing Nebula different parts of the city itself. "Anywhere else you want to see?"

"Um."Nebula paused, then shook her head. "I don't really know much about Cybertron."

Hound shook his head, "No, wouldn't reckon you would. Kind of surprised your dad hasn't told you more though. Well, I'm happy to tell you a bit more if you want?"

Nebula frowned a little. "Please. He told me some, but I don't think I was really paying attention."She smiled a little sheepishly and shrugged.

"Come on, let's go to the common room. I could use some highgrade. So what would you like to know?"
Hound gently nudged Nebula in the right direction.

Nebula hesitated a moment, remembering why she had been in the hallway in the first place, but her curiosity about her native planet won out and she followed. "Umm..."She considered for a moment, then a thought came to her. "Do you know anything about the Youth Sectors?"

Cloudburst sighed softly at the compliment, patting Redstar’s alt. She lay and enjoyed the hum of his systems and the warm sun on their plating until drawn back by his question. “Mmmhmm... Oh, sorry,” the chopper shifted, sliding down from the roof to the ground, “I can let you up.”
-------
Rewire locked optics with Raven as he pressed his fingers against her spark; he shivered and nudged his brow against hers, letting his sparkchamber separate under her hand. His other arms curled and snuck behind Raven’s shoulders, pulling them closer.

Hound frowned. "Not nice places at times. Lots of the orphans ended up there once the war started. Too many sparklings and younglings and not enough workers made it pretty rough on some of those there. Not always, but it wasn't uncommon for some of the more quiet ones to be forgotten. The lucky ones found guardians. There was a war though and not many looking to take on the added responsibility of a sparkling."
He walked into the common room and headed to the dispenser. "You want a cube, Nebula?"
~*~*~*~
"S'alright Cloudburst, ya didn't have ta get down if ya didn't want ta."
But since she had...
Redstar transformed and stood next to his mate, taking in the sight around them. "Yer right. It is pretty."
~*~*~*~
Raven's intakes hitched and her spark lept with the touches. Shuddering, she carfully swept her fingers over Rewire's spark, wrapping tendrils around them and slowly pulling her hand away only to repeat the process. Even though she wanted to, she could not fight her spark any longer and allowed it to join with Rewire's with a blinding flash.
L-look at me...
Fighting the instinct to offline her optics, she kept them open and waited for Rewire to meet her gaze.

"Oh. Uh, yes, please." Nebula frowned too. Poor sparklings. It must have been terrible for them...

Hound handed Nebula a cube and sat down on a sofa, motioning for her to join him. "So what else would you like to know?"

Nebula sat next to him and thought for a few moments. "What was it like before the war started?"

Hound sipped his energon and thought for a moment before speaking, "It was nice. A society based on learning, justice and fairness. We valued logic and cherished the idea that individuals were free to pursue their own dreams and happiness. Well, at least that's what we thought. Apparently there were a few that had other ideas."

Cloudburst pulled against Redstar's hip and wrapped her arms around his torso. "See, I told you." she murmured in jest, leaning her head against his shoulder, "Must have worn you out getting here, you're just repeating what I tell you."
---------
His helm had fallen to Raven's shoulder when their sparks merged, rocked by the link. Rewire tilted his head back enough to stare into his mate's optics again and stroked her cheek. Let her see; he was always looking at her, searching for her, needing to know Raven was safe.
