Last Song - You're gonna go far by Noah Kahan

Currently Reading - bookwise I'm listening to an audiobook, power to the people - how open technology arms the terrorists of tomorrow by Audrey Kurth Cronin. and ficwise a lot of shorter fics here and there but also working my way through the maginificent fic "he'll see I'm not so tough" by @alivingfire which is simply gorgeous and which I can't recommend enough, even though I'm only half-way through. One of the best stories I read in a good while. Oh, and I have the honor and the pleasure to beta read for @vthx who is also insanely talented and I can't wait for y'all to see this fic. And I'm also beta reading for @multidimensional-wavelength and his @steddiebb2024 fic. Let me just say, it's my favorite take on the fake dating trope so far, it's so much fun to read and he is super talented.

Currently Watching - Right now, Pride and Prejudice. Also I'm always rewatching Stranger Things it seems 😅 it's great to play in the background.

Currently Craving - Nothing, actually. Maybe sleep? Although I shouldn't be tired, I had a 2h nap today lol.

Coffee or Tea - always coffee. you can wake me up in the middle of the night and I take a coffee. Which is also why it's not really working anymore. I only feel the effects if I don't have enough.

A Hobby You Would Like to Try - No idea. My days are super full with work, trying to have some kind of social life, my mom and my dog, reading, writing, running, podcasts, watching something on TV sometimes... seriously, I don't think about hobbies much.

An AU You're Working On/Thought Of - I'm taking a writing break right now but I really, really, really wanna write my wolf!steve AU I started during steddie love month. It was supposed to be my steddie big bang entry but I dropped out. I have the whole thing planned in my head, it's a love story, of course but mostly an adventure with a conspiracy.

Tagging, no pressure: @hbyrde36, @matchingbatbites, @just-my-latest-hyperfixation, @klausinamarink, @medusapelagia and everybody else who wants to do this!

Transformers Spotlight: Orion Pax: Omega's Conundrum

Read Date: March 21, 2022 Cover Date: December 2012 ● Writer: James Roberts ● Penciler: Steve Kurth ● Inker: Juan Castro ● Colorist: Jesus Aburtov ● Letterer: Shawn Lee ● Editor: John Barber ●

**HERE BE SPOILERS: Skip ahead to the fan art/podcast to avoid spoilers

Reactions As I Read: ● it's nice to see him before he was Optimus Prime, before he got so serious ● ha! I love Rung's brochures to help autobots with change: "Coping with Change: From Repaints to Redesign" and "Old Spark, New Body: After the Transplant." I wonder if they have to keep a similar size… ope, Zeta just answered my question by mentioning that Pax is bigger in the upgrade ● "Nightbeat" is an excellent name ● the Decepticons are holding Ratchet prisoner somewhere ● oo, I wonder who their Decepticon prisoner is that they're swapping for Ratchet. Starscream? that's my guess. ● so Omega's Conundrum is the autobot equivalent of Schrodinger's Cat… ish? ● not Starscream ● yeah Pax, I wouldn’t takr transformation advice from a pair who burned out their cogs so bad that they no longer have alt modes ● ah, Chekhov’s Instantaneous Conversion…

● that ended rather abruptly ● 👏👏👏

Synopsis: Four million years ago and ten thousand miles above Cybertron's surface, Orion Pax is bound to a shuttle on a crash-course with Iacon, with no doubt in his mind that he should have gone with Plan B…

Some time earlier, at Autobot headquarters, Wheeljack, Kaput, and Rung oversee the mechanical, medical, and psychological aspects of Orion Pax's hasty refit into a new, tougher body in preparation for a dangerous mission he is about to embark on. Although a little disappointed to have lost his "lucky faceplate", Pax is happy with the new form, and eager to carry out the duty assigned to him by Zeta Prime: escorting a Decepticon prisoner to a rendezvous point within the treacherous Rust Spot, there to exchange him for the captured Ratchet. Pax is joined on his mission by hostage negotiator Nightbeat, who provides a detailed briefing of the dangers of the Rust Spot, and the venerable Alpha Trion, leading expert in Cybertronian topography. As they prepare to leave, Nightbeat quickly loses patience with the elderly Transformer's pearls of wisdom, as he muses on the foundling Autobot faction's adoption of a longstanding cultural emblem called the "First Face" as their insignia, and applies the old logical paradox called "Omega's Conundrum" to the locked trailer containing the prisoner for transport: how can they be sure there's anything in there if they don't open it?

113 kliks into their journey through the Rust Spot, Pax inquires how Alpha Trion knows so much about it, and the old sage reveals that he explored it, and the rest of the planet, with the fabled Metroplex in ages past. The trio are attacked mid-sentence by local monstrosities known as Slicers, but the gung-ho Pax charges into action and they soon have the creatures in retreat (though Pax takes one of their blades to the face and blames the lack of his faceplate for the injury). The trailer is sprung open in the fight, but the prisoner doesn't get far… or rather, prisoners. The captives turn out to be a pair of spark-bonded Decepticon twins named Rack and Ruin who were responsible for a bombing at the G'th Semane spaceport. Puzzled at Megatron's willingness to turn over an important figure like Ratchet in exchange for these two grunts, Pax talks with the pair, who prove even more harmless than expected when they reveal they can't even transform, having pushed their transformation cogs too far practising the high-speed process of "instantaneous conversion". Pax talks about the Decepticon philosophy with them, and they admit to fear that Megatron will kill them. Moments later, a trio of Seekers led by Thundercracker arrive to escort Prime's team to the location for the exchange.

Presently, the group arrives at the Decepticons' bolthole, where Bludgeon welcomes them. With the unarmed Autobots surrounded, the Decepticons seize Alpha Trion: capturing him has been their true objective all along, so that he may lead them to Metroplex, whose dimension-transcending abilities will be used to create a space bridge. Allowed to go free by Bludgeon on Megatron's order, Orion poses Omega's Conundrum to the skeletal Decepticon with a wry twist: sometimes, a box can be both empty and full, as he demonstrates by triggering the release of a cache of concealed weaponry from within his trailer. A firefight erupts, during which Rack and Ruin offer to lead the Autobots to safety; Pax covers their escape, but is captured himself and promptly tied to a shuttle by Bludgeon with intent to be fired at the nearest population centre by Bludgeon for no reason other than sheer theatricality. Thundercracker is angry at the killing of civilians, but Bludgeon brushes off his concerns, patiently listens to Pax's stalling tactics as the Autobot foresees a future for him as a figure of failure, then shoots him into the sky. "Fortunately", Pax deduces that the shuttle is going to crash clear of any cities… until it collides with another passing craft and is deflected onto a trajectory that points it straight at Iacon. Remembering Rack and Ruin's advice, Pax shuts down his transformation cog safeties and tries instantaneous conversion, snapping his bonds with the speed of his transformation. Pax takes control of the shuttle and crash-lands it clear of the city, his new body taking the experience in stride, leaving him battered but still intact. It's a good body, Pax thinks, as he sits among the wreckage—it's just missing one thing. Scooping up a piece of metal from the debris, he silently fixes it over his face in emulation of his old faceplate.
