[ It's Rodimus! I'm probably off doing something awesome or saving the universe again. Leave a message and I might get back. ]

[ Is that a robot waving emoji? Is Optimus Prime texting him with emojis? What sweet world has he stumbled into while sleeping? He doesn't know this UN, which means... different Prime? Is there another new Optimus Prime? Primus they really didn't stop showing up, did they? ]

hey no probs op 👍👍👍 whats so imprt on the r2 tho? we arnt in charge here 🤔 everything good?

[Rodimus frowns down at the communicator, but makes his way from his Lounge of Relaxation (he built a pillow fort in his habsuite) towards the Observation room. OP called him Rodimus Prime. No one calls him Prime. It makes his plating crawl.]

its just rodimus btw 😎 I dont rly use the 'prime' part ✌️😎✨

Understood. 🤝
This is something I'd rather discuss in person. I understand this is incredibly ominous, but there's no disaster. Promise. 🤞

[he's there already, standing near the window, arms crossed. whenever rodimus arrives, he'll spot optimus easily. who else is that tall and bright red and blue? his expression is a placidly neutral smile, but-- rodimus is good at reading people. he can probably tell optimus has forced it onto his faceplates in an attempt to seem like he's feeling better about this situation than he actually is. hopefully this doesn't bring up more complexities, but he's fully expecting it to.]

[ Okay. This Optimus was quickly becoming the only valid Optimus. Reassuring that there's no disaster? Using emotes in conversation? Romdimus is fairly certain he's died and gone to Cyberutopia. ]

copy that
be there in a few 😎

[ True to expectation, when Rodimus arrives it's not hard to find Optimus. Big, bright red and blue, bulky. Has the air of weary leadership about him. Yeah, no one that could be but an OP. Though Rodimus is certainly surprised to see him without his battle mask. He can probably count on one hand the number of times he's actually seen Optimus' face.

He lifts a hand in greeting, taking a quick sweeping look over his frame and trying to place it amongst the other "continuities" (as Brainstorm had called it) on their ship. He doesn't recognize the make. So, new universe that got sucked into their chaos. Nifty. ]

Hey, Optimus. You rang? Can't say getting paged by Optimus Prime has ever been a good thing in the past.

[ His spoiler wings flick and his smile goes crooked and lazy. Teasing and polite but definitely still a little on edge. ]

[optimus waves back with a light, more genuine smile. as weird as it is and as unfortunate as rodimus becoming prime evidently was (to his own knowledge of sunstreaker telling him their (?) optimus was killed and rodimus got the matrix), he's still genuinely happy to meet another prime.]

Next time I'll be sure it's because of a new drink in Maccadam's or a shanix on the ground. [ah, bad jokes, too. this optimus has them all. he clasps his hands together.] Recently an Autobot named Sunstreaker came through the space bridge. I do not know if he is the same Sunstreaker you know, but he mentioned a Rodimus Prime who had recently inherited the Matrix.

[this could be a risky move, taking the matrix out of his subspace and holding it by the handles before he's verified that rodimus is the person he's looking for, but-- prolonging it doesn't do anyone any favours. also, he doesn't really want to get too mired in the complications of this other universe, even if he does feel like he is responsible for any autobot.]

Sunstreaker was in possession of that Matrix, which I'm to understand belongs to you.

[livefastdieyoung_taao]

[Rodimus is, strangely enough, almost instantly put at ease by this Optimus. Sure he was an Optimus and they were all the same from what he'd gathered, but this one felt... kinder? Less war weary. Less likely to turn his back on everyone and go mad with power.

Was Rodimus still smarting from his own Optimus Prime's everything? Yes. Absolutely.

Nothing, however, could have prepared him for what Optimus was going to say.]

You have got to be fragging kidding me.

[There, sitting in Optimus's hands, is the matrix. His matrix. Optimus's matrix. The one that Rodimus had broken and split with Bee, remade and used to save Cybertron. Used to save all MTOs. Rodimus is a nanoclik away from taking some advice from Drift's book and going to stare at some glowing crystals until the universe unveils it's secrets.]

I have broken that thing like three times, how the frag does it keep coming back.

[Rodimus takes it gently, of course he does. The matrix always felt comfortable to him, even when he didn't want the weight that came with it. It doesn't stop him from screwing up his face in a grimace though.]

You said you got it from Sunstreaker?

[emojibot]

I'm sure you don't want to hear the things happen for a reason speech.

[he's clearly slightly relieved when rodimus takes it off him, both for this apparently being the right guy and for him to not have to keep two matrices on his person anymore. he's not sure if it was psychosomatic, but it was starting to feel a bit weird.]

Yes, he's recently come through the bridge. Yellow Autobot in a hoverchair-- I can't much blame him for wanting to offload it on a Prime here as quickly as possible. I am just relieved that it's not being, ah... what's the phrase... hot potatoed around more than necessary.
