Vauge AC6 x Worm crossover coalescing in my brain, feel free to steal anything from it you like but it's not terribly original. Suicide/body horror warning.
So like. Ok. Taylor, somehow acquires Coral (running idea is that a tinker with a device the grabs random items from potential futures grabs a vital of Coral, ends deems it useless to anyone but Blasto and chucks it in... idk, the woods? Before getting got by the 9 when they came the guitar time because Manequin be mankillin.)
Taylor acquired mystery Vial, superhero fantasy ensues so she keeps holding off it with the hope that it might be like those old superhero comics from before Capes. Where random ass Chemical(tm) grants powers. The Emma shit happens, and instead of triggering, over new years break she Drinks it, justifying to herself that she wants to test the theory. (She doesn't, she knows damn well better, just wants to die.)
The Coral, in a dose that would OD even Rummy is DEFINITELY going to kill her, before Danny finds her and gets her to the hospital. Docs are trying their best, but can't do much more than make her die slower till Panacea gets there. She recognizes Coral is organic but to her surprise her power just goes "idk it's some kinda entry being but also organic. I can't work with this!"
She's freaked out, but also refuses to let this girl die because then she's not a Hero and therefore not a good person. So she starts allowing Taylors biology in a desperate bid to save her, effectively just doing enough to keep it from killing her ah giving places for the Coral to exist. The Coral obliges and Panacea eases up thinking she's saved her (probably feeling the first dose of endorphins in years as her power applauds her actually using it creatively, if less destructive than it wanted.)
Taylor now stable has her body subtly altered by the Coral that's there, now that it won't instakill her, basically making Taylor a Gen 1 augmented human. She wakes up, contexts to the Coral network very crudely, and gets like, inundated with memories, thoughts, and this from myriad people because fuck you Coral can communicate faster than light, abs FTL is time travel. Therefore it can communicate with the past and future. Most notably she gets a lot of Cinder Carla (onown doser, honestly a lot of her wngineers and techs too)shoved in her brain, so all sorts of designs from RaD are just floating around without all the technical knowhow to use them maximally.
Taylor, thinking this if just, how tinkers work, thinks she is a tinker (she isn't, it's run of the mill superscience not clarketech/paracausal madness, totally mass,prpducable and comprehensible by basic humies.) On top of this her immune system has basically been replaced by Coral since it can kill basically any bacteria, so her body is a breeding ground for the stuff that she uses to Kickstart Coral tech.
Something something, Administrative AI she makes named Cueball. (In universe she used the stock unity ball as his avatar and never changed it. Out of universe DESTROY... NINE-BALL.) Something something Squealer makes the world's worst AC, something something Coral is unpredictable because it exists in some sort of atemporal state, so the Entities can only predict what it can do after they've seen an example, allowing her to actually make her mechs and do this shit unordered. Something something, using Cueball to sell hyperefficient internal combustion engines to suffering countries at very reasonable rates, and working at a computer store to steal broken electronics. (It's circuit city, they beat out best buy HARD on bet cause it makes me laugh.)

@kanohivolitakk @tiredspacedragon @redwingskyfiresslayz @randomyetnot I have a galaxy brain transformers prime fanfic idea but like I’m not really a fanfic writer and if I have to suffer this plot bunny so do you,anyway
So like alpha trion give a box to Orion pax to deliver to “the last knight in kaon” but there’s a catch: he must only answer to the name optimus until The knight relieves pax. Triondoesn’t care if it’s paxs closest friend or lover calls out his true name, under absolutely no circumstances is he to respond to them as Orion pax. Also take this strange torch in case you get into trouble. All Of This Is Strange TM but then again- trion has alway been strange.
Anyway like four days later he reaches kaon and wouldn’t you know it he bumps (literally) into megatron- who immediately recognizes him and calls out to him inviting to bunk with him or whatever reason
Pax is like trying and miserably failing to casually speed walk away but megs catches up determined to figure out wtf he’s doing the
“You must be mistaken, I’m just a simple currier on his way to deliver a message” no I’ve never worked in the archives what are you talking about hehe
Fine. Megs can play this game.
This loud interaction catches the wrong kind of attention
As in people are now shooting at and running at pax
Well frick
Just fantastic
After trying to lose the shooters (twice) the get cornered and because I said so running low of ammo
Pax remembers the torch throws it at the nearest victim
Boom
Bright obnoxious flair later and megs is questioning (mostly jokingly) wonders why they are friends again then some helpful folk jump in saving there butts. The big scruffy praxian addresses them first. “ you are not alpha trion.” He sates with a glare. Orion notices a familiar blue Siegel. “No we are not.” He replies hesitating for a moment. “My name is optimus and I have been sent to deliver a package.”
Megs is just like wtf is happening this reeks of shady nonsense.
Oh look how nice the shooty people seem to have some friends and had soooo KINDLY invited them all the way over here
Just lovely.
The praxian just grabs our quested adventures and yeets them down a secret passage before following close behind them megs flips out and the praxian who’s been called “barricade” decides that he doesn’t have time for this nonsense and by some freaking miracle manages to knock him out.
Pax is beginning wish that he turned trions request down
The eventuality end up in a room with someone watching a vid screen intensely. “It has been two days since the most shock murder in iac-“ the screen is quickly turned off.
Tumblr media
The small femme seems quite surprised to see visitors even more so when she sees who “Cade” is carrying over his shoulder. Megs is really not happyTM
Pax is like Uhhhh I have a package and stuff.
The femme frowns for a split second upon hearing the name “optimus” before going quickly back to smiling. “Im HoloRush”. “how is the old mech? He normally delivers things himself in person. Is he ill?”
“Uhh no? Why?”
“Cool. So all the way from iacon huh, that’s quite the trip.”
“Yay she has signed for it! “
“Uh yeaaahhh”
Scrud she’s not giving his pen back what do
“When did you leave?” She askes peeking into the box seemingly satisfied with its contents.
“I think it’s non of your business” megs grumbles
“Four days ago”. Pax responds just to be polite. speaking of we REALLY must be going now.
“Ima fraid I can’t let yah do that.”
Pax is very nervousTM
Just release me of this stupid name he thinks
The femme taps the screen back on and turns it towards them.
“It has been to days since the most shocking murder has happened in centuries. alpha trion who once worked in iacons grand archives was confirmed dead by sentinel prime on the scene. And authorities suspect a data clerk known as “Orion Pax” is to blame. Here is sollarset at the scene with more information on this gruesome development in the-“
Pax looks shocked(and maybe a bit pale)
Megs says thought he already knew- he had assumed that he’d come to hide out with him and his loud dramatic greeting (which was so rudely interrupted btw) was supposed to be a subtle a “frick off and don’t mess with his friend who he’d kill for don’t touch him” thing.
What. The. Everloving. F-
The open package is slid towards him revealing its contents something he saw his mentor use every single day. His writing quill.
By talos this can’t be happeningTM
“As of now alpha trion of iaconious has intrusted you into my care. And I know this is extremely sudden and I hate to have to ask after you have had the shock has worn off a bit I need you to give me a list of any friends, allies, etc. that you can think of same for your friend over there. I know the prime all to well and I know he won’t stop at one and i need to know how many me and my high lord protector are well- protecting.”
Why wait what
Why is sentinel prime going after archivists all the sudden?! high lord protector?! As in the person that chosen by THE MATRIX OF LEADERSHIP to handle most military/ protection matters of the ENTIRE planet for a prime?! Didn’t Sentinel have it?? The frik.
Oh boy oh boy A3/alpha trion has once again left her to do the explainy part. Isn’t that NICE of him.
Uh so to rip the metaphorical bandage off- * proceeds to give exposition dump about how he’s the literal reincarnation of one of the original primes also your technically my uncle because of that because of who her parents are and uh yeah. Sentinel apparently knows that and he’s scared that you’ll get the other half of the matrix that we don’t have before he does.*
Pax faints
It just kinda seems like one of THOSE days.
And that’s all I got thanks for coming to my 3:40am Ted talk
