13 Primes /\ TFO

The sun sank below the horizon, painting Cybertron a dull bronze. Zeta Prime discovered a tiny Cybertronian amid the rubble of an old energy storage facility. The child was scratched and covered in soot, but his eyes were filled with weariness and wariness. Hours later, they entered the Tower of Primes. All eyes turned to the leader and the tiny figure in his arms. Prima: "What does this mean, Zeta? You brought a homeless child to a holy place?" There's restrained bewilderment in her voice, her brows are furrowed, but deep down, there's not anger, but concern for tradition. Solus Prime: "Oh, poor child... Look at those scratches—it's as if he lived among rusty debris. Give him to me, I'll examine him!" he holds out his manipulators, his tone maternal, his movements gentle but confident. Alpha Trion: "Interesting... There's no trace of training in his matrix, but the spark burns steadily. So, the potential is there. The only question is how to unlock it..." Vector Prime: "If he grew up outside of society, he knows neither laws nor codes. This is dangerous—but also valuable. He can be raised to see the world without prejudice." His voice is calm, almost philosophical; he stands slightly to the side, his manipulators crossed. Megatronus: "Weak. No armor, no knowledge, no strength. Why waste resources on someone who can't fight?" He snorts gruffly, looking away, as if he doesn't want to admit to himself that the child makes him uncomfortable. Onyx Prime: "He's not weak—he just hasn't learned to be strong yet. Give him time, Megatronus. Even the most powerful power cell was once just a spark." He places a heavy hand on his brother's shoulder, calming his harshness; there's a quiet firmness in his voice. Alchemist Prime: "Perhaps his experience is also knowledge. Life on the streets teaches survival, and that's no less important than formulas and diagrams." Quintus Prime: "If he stays, we'll have to rethink security protocols. And... perhaps some of our laws." Micronus Prime: "It's so tiny... Like a spark in a storm. If we surround it with light, it won't go out."
