It had been generations, and it was finally time. His father, his father’s father, and so on back throughout time immemorial, had all trained for this, but their time never came. But now it was Nick’s time to shine.

He first heard of the family legacy from an overheard conversation between his parents. Too young to make out most of the words, all he really caught was “bat”, “hit”. “rock”, and something about how important this was to their family. While he did proceed to grab a palm-sized river rock and search around for any bats to throw the rock at, bats were not local to his area.

Several years later, however, his father sat him down and told him the story. “Our family was founded by one genius astronomer and architect, from long ago. He knew what space was like, and realized the danger asteroids could hold. And so he came up with a genius idea - hit it right back into space. Eventually, our family came up with a way to practice this, and that’s the true origin of baseball.”

This story invigorated young Nicholas, and from then on he spent every free moment practicing baseball. Instead of only playing the game the normal way of play, he also often practiced by throwing the ball straight up, dreaming that he, one day, could also be part of this family legacy. 

When Nicholas was fifteen, his parents told him something special. The ancestor had made an outpost, one containing both the weapon against the asteroid, and ways to practice. While the precise nature of the weapon could only be known by those who visited it, it would be able to defeat any threat. This sanctum could only hold one person, however, and the last member had left some months ago, with them only finding out recently. So they gave him the offer: “Would you, Nicholas Vincint David, be willing to take our families ancestral role and take this role?”

Obviously, he could do nothing but say yes. And so he set off, to take the place of whomever had abandoned this position. He couldn’t understand why - it was clear that this would be the best thing of his life. Fulfilling the dream of his childhood, and ensuring that the world would be safe from asteroids.

Arriving at the sanctum, the first thing that stood out to him was the emptiness. It was dusty, there were cobwebs littering the walls, and the only sign that this place wasn’t wholly abandoned was a clear label of a starting area. There he found a book - pages dusty, clearly ancient. Language so obsolete that half the words were a mystery. The last page, however, seemed to have the same sentence repeated in many different eras of language, all saying one thing: “Find updated version down left hallway”.

The prior inhabitants had seen the same problem coming, one of linguistic drift preventing the introduction from being decipherable. As such, every now and then someone would rewrite the previous handbook, bringing it forward into the more modern age. Book after book was lined up, and settling into the most recent one he could understand it plainly. A list of how he could keep himself alive and healthy here, and directions towards the heirloom. 

Heading towards what was only described as the heirloom, Nicholas saw the first part of this place that looked clean. Apparently prior inhabitants kept it spotless, which makes sense with the importance of it. Finding the description, he finally learned what this great ancestor had invented. It was a giant compressible baseball bat system, capable of extending and copying his movements on a cosmic scale, making it possible to bat back any impending doom.

Time passed, as he kept up the gardens, cleaned the machine, and otherwise kept it stable. It appears the last person had managed to get internet and computers here, making him able to keep up with the going ons. While the place came with an observatory, with the advent of the internet all he had to do was keep an eye on astronomy chats and avoid any such issues.

Eventually, however, he decided to visit the observatory himself. There, instead of a magnificent telescope, all he saw was … paper? Reams and reams of paper, with numbers and symbols all over them. It appeared to be calculating energy impacts and kinematics? Huh. This was clearly the handwriting of the previous inhabitant (while he didn’t know the name, Nick was sure that it was the person who fled based off of dates on the computer and notes). 

Looking into them, Nick wasn’t really sure what it was all about. It seemed to be about this whole plan of his ancestors. The math seemed complicated, and the conclusion obtuse. What does 3 10^23 Joules even mean? How does it matter that that’s bigger than 4.8 10^15 Joules? He had honestly never been a fan of math, and while he supposed the third number was smaller for the second number, why does that matter? 

This was too complicated for him. He’d much rather practice his baseball form. He was getting really good at it.

He was looking at the internet when a breaking news alert showed up. A giant asteroid was coming towards the earth! Apparently NASA has already tried to divert it, but failed. No other known method of diverting an asteroid was possible, and it was too late. Well, this seemed exactly what his ancestor had predicted. 

By moving levers, he could setup a simulation of the asteroid, which would throw a ball at the perfect time. He pressed a giant button which, after several failsafes, started winding up the intricate ancient device. Despite its age, it seemed to be working flawlessly. The asteroid seemed to be successfully lined up, and all he had to do was swing at the perfect time.

This was the most important swing of his life. He had spent his whole life training for this, using knowledge from centuries of his predecessors, and he could do that. The simulation ball threw, and swing, and hit! The simulation ball (set up to be the same timing as the asteroid) flew threw the air. Looking up at the sky, he saw the time delayed bat move, and swing.

Seeing the giant bat hit the asteroid, he felt a brief moment of jubilation before thinking back to the calculations he had seen in the observatory. The sheer kinetic energy of the asteroid, the mass that let it pass through our atmosphere and down to earth? No bat, no matter how large, could send it back. In his final moments he realized what so many previous generations of his family had - it wasn’t enough. It wasn’t even close.

Astronomers discover a giant asteroid hurtling towards Earth. Across the world, panic spreads. Looters ravage cities, families huddle and cry, praying for a miracle. On a lonely hill in the middle of nowhere, a child watches the sky with a baseball bat, poised to swing as the asteroid nears.

Video game I saw in a dream. It was in this low poly style like an older video game. You play as this character I think was meant to be a lamb, or maybe a weird mix of a lamb a mouse and a rabbit, (while not really looking like any of those things) and you’re running away from a wolf. Your objective is to last as long as possible before the wolf catches and eats you.

The house you’re running in is endless and bizarrely put together like most building interiors in dreams are (like the infinite toilet dream dimension on Reddit lol) the layout of the house is pretty detailed, you can stop and hide in places like closets or bins while the wolf looks for you, you can go up and down stairs and into rooms etc.

You never actually know where the wolf is or how close it is to you until it appears in your line of sight, it makes no noise and the game gives you no way of knowing where it is, and it’s pretty unpredictable it doesnt move at a consistent pace. When the wolf catches you there’s an animation showing it eating your character

WAIT CHAT HOLD ON-

SENTINEL HAS WINGS!!!!!

"Yeah obviously he turns into a jet-" NO!!!!!

Initially I thought they were like angel wings (which yeah, they are) and it's great symbolism because of his whole false Prime thing. He has this façade about being a noble leader and all that and he probably thinks that he's Primus' gift to the universe. The Devil disguised as an angel. Or something something the Devil was once the most beautiful angel of all. Idk lotsa places you can go with the angel symbolism.

HOWEVER

They're GOLDEN. You know who else had golden wings? Icarus. Who flew too close to the sun. Who's entire myth is about hubris and how pride can be your undoing. Does that sound familiar to you guys???

Sentinel flew too close to the sun believing that he could kill the Primes and seize all that wealth and power with no consequence. He thought that he was sooo great and nothing bad would ever happen to him because he won!!! And then he got too comfortable and sloppy and everything he built fell apart in just one day.

Whoever was on the design team for Transformers One you cooked hard with this one
