“I think it’s insulting. ‘Cold’ construction,” Roaster said, putting on an irritated emphasis. “I get it, they call it cold because the bodies were created away from the Hot Spot but it’s so wrong! Don’t they have any idea how–Hrm!”
Roaster lets out a frustrated breath and asks Aralysa to reattach some of the redone limbs. After another moment, she continues, “Alright, I’m going to explain this from the top before I shout it from mountain tops.”
With a slow cycling of her optics, she collects herself, and speaks. This time, her tone is closer to that of a Sunday School kid, repeating the verses they’ve recited many times over. Confident and familiar, almost younger sounding when calling upon these old words with her eyes closed.
“Primus, seeing it ill-fitting for him and his champions to be alone, gave up his form to create us, his children. With aid of the planet, he forged new bodies and split his own spark to give us life. But when Primus called upon the moon, it was too weak. As best it tried, the moon had not the strength to forge the bodies. So Primus called upon his children, through their sparks, to lend their hands and tools so that their brethren could receive his gifts of life.”
Roaster eyes open and she resumes working on another part. Her tone shifts, keeping calm but losing the confident peace from before.
"That is not cold, that’s warm. Hotter even! Everyone else pulls themselves out of a well, maybe greeted and aided by guards and angels. But us? Primus used one of us to work out our forms, has his trace physically there. No need to see the Allspark, you can just meet the one he used to make you! Primus, represented in physical form, right there!
But no! It’s ‘cold!’ It’s ‘dangerous’ to tell them that Primus used you to build them! Only lunatics and Dr. Frankensteins would take credit for given them life. We only build the body, we can’t build the spark. The heavens and hells know how many butchers have tried."
“What, can’t be bothered to walk a bit further? The station isn’t that far away.” Tokamak teased.
