Reconstruction of Prowl 
An elegant reconstruction of one of the greatest tacticians ever to wear 
  the Autobot insignia is on the table before you. The metal frame reflects 
  the lights of the lab with a brilliance unparalleled by any of the other 
  items present. The pure white chrome symbolizes the heroism and logic for 
  which Prowl was so well known. Unfortunately, the blue optics contain not 
  the slightest flicker of life in them. 
Optimus_Prime says, "I hope that is enoughto to make him work." 
Televis says, "Sooon Ifgor SOON.." 
Perceptor says, "I suppose that is all we have to go upon..." 
Televis quotes, "Plug it in plug it in!" 
Perceptor walks over to the computer terminal, inputting commands for the 
  process. 
Grabbing several heavy-alloy communication cables, Perceptor turns to 
  Optimus, "Where do you need to be connected, Prime?" 
Televis' faces spin around and around, barely missing bankrupt and landing 
  on his Mad Scientist face. 
Optimus_Prime says, "Connect to my cerebral cortex at the base of the neck 
  juncture and I will open up my chest so that you may put the second 
  connection on the Matrix itself" 
Optimus_Prime opens his chest as he says that, revealing the pitifully dim 
  light of the Matrix that pulses slightly as it is exposed to view. 
Televis quotes, "Heh.. BRAIN master... Heh.. heh..." 
Perceptor presses a switch; suddenly, a table shoots out from the wall 
  behind Optimus Prime. "Go ahead and lie down." 
Perceptor glances towards Televis, "I STILL have not had a chance to view 
  that Terran film..." 
Optimus_Prime lies down carefully on the table 
Perceptor carefully turns Optimus' head to the side and makes the 
  connection to his cerebral cortex. 
Televis grins. "We'll hafta show it to ya sometime. No Scientist is 
  complete without that important bit og human documentation. 
Perceptor stares reverently at the Matrix for a moment. 
Perceptor says softly, "I had always imagined it possessing a much brighter 
  glow..." 
Perceptor shrugs as he connects the other cable to the Autobot Matrix of 
  Leadership. 
Optimus_Prime says, "It has." 
Optimus_Prime replies in just as soft a voice, "But I am not the one it was 
  meant for..." 
Perceptor halts suddenly, "What are you saying?!" 
Perceptor quickly turns towards the computer terminal and presses and 
  unobtrusive button, then turns back to Prime. 
Optimus_Prime looks at Perceptor, his face emotionless. "Hot Rod was the 
  Chosen One." 
Perceptor says, "...but you are the still the greatest leader we have ever 
  had..."" 
Perceptor hesitates, "...are you not?" 
Optimus_Prime says, "That is a matter of opinion" 
Optimus_Prime says, "I do not place myself in that category. It is for 
  others to say." 
Perceptor mutters to Televis, "... sure... computer is monitoring 
  Prime's..." 
You whisper "Make sure that the computer is monitoring Prime's mental 
  processes fully." to Televis. 
Televis says, "Two out of four chose Optimus as the numero uno holder. 
  Clinically tested and approved." 
Perceptor says, "It is for others to say if you are Optimus Prime or not?" 
Televis nods and starts calibrating the monitors. 
Televis hrmms/ " 
Optimus_Prime says, "It is for others to say whether I am a great leader." 
Optimus_Prime says, "I am Optimus Prime." 
Perceptor glances quickly towards Prowl, noting that the cables are not yet 
  connected to him. 
Televis says, "Was your name Hot Prime before?" 
Televis says, "Or Hot Op..." 
Optimus_Prime looks at Televis strangely. "Negative." 
Optimus_Prime doesn't notice the cables aren't connected to Prowl quite yet 
Televis shrugs his tentacles, unable to figure out the naming system. :^) 
Perceptor says, "Hmm...what can you tell me about yourself prior to 
  receiving the Autobot Matrix?" 
Perceptor mutters to Televis, "... begun the... of... dare not... to..." 
You whisper "I have already begun the neural monitoring of Prime. We dare 
  not risk anything to Prowl before fully determining his capabilities." to 
  Televis. 
Optimus_Prime looks at Perceptor. "I was Orion Pax." 
Televis nods. 
Perceptor throws his optics towards a small monitor somewhat obscured from 
  the view of Optimus Prime, "Yes, anything more?" 
Televis says, "Orion Pax... Well you kept the initials, I guess." 
Televis is still trying to figure out how the matrix names things. :^) 
Perceptor inquires, "What about your original ascention to that of Optimus 
  Prime, Autobot Leader?" 
Televis says, "So... When you get the Matrix you get the Prime thing 
  knocked into your name.. Representing the best... As in Prime Time." 
Optimus_Prime says, "I was rebiult to become Optimus Prime. Alpha Trion 
  passed the Matrix to me." 
Perceptor nods, "What about your voyage with the Ark...what was its 
  purpose?" 
Optimus_Prime says, "Energon collection." 
Optimus_Prime doesn't seem to be doing a great deal of embellishing. He 
  just answers the questions 
Televis says, "So how'd it get stuck in a volcano?" 
Optimus_Prime looks at Televis. "I am not sure if having the name Prime is 
  a requirement of the Matrix. 
Optimus_Prime says, "We crashed" 
Televis says, "Well DUH." 
Televis grins. 
Perceptor says, "Tell me about your first experiences here on Earth..." 
Optimus_Prime just looked at you. 
Perceptor mutters to Televis, "Are... looking... to you? He..." 
You whisper "Are any of the readings looking strange to you? He seems 
  quite...unemotional for the Prime I remember..." to Televis. 
Televis mutters to Perceptor, "... more... from..." 
Televis whispers "I can get more detail from a magic 8-ball.." 
Optimus_Prime is silent for a moment. Then he slowly answers, as if not 
  quite sure of the place or time of the memories. "The Ark... rebuilt 
  us... We learned of the humans. Spike Witwicky and Sparkplug Witwicky 
  became our allies..... The Decepticons attempted to ... leave Earth with 
  enough energon to destroy Cybertron..." 
Perceptor frowns somewhat. 
Televis quotes in a german accent, "Oond how doez zat make you feeel? 
Perceptor says, "The humans...tell me how you feel about them, what made 
  you stay on Earth when the opportunity to return to Cybertron presented 
  itself?" 
Optimus_Prime looks at Televis. "I do not understand the question." 
Televis mutters to himself, " Reply Hazy... again later." 
Optimus_Prime returns his attention to Perceptor. "The humans must be 
  protected from the Decepticon threat." 
Perceptor blinks, taken aback by the quick and simple answer. 
Perceptor inquires again, "What about the humans themselves?" 
Optimus_Prime says, "I do not understand the quesiton" 
Perceptor takes several steps back, then glances to Televis with a hint of 
  fear in his optics. 
Televis mutters to Perceptor, "... we... a... bod." 
Televis whispers "What we got here is a Magic 8-Ball with a bod." 
Perceptor says, "You just mentioned the humans had to be protected...why?" 
Optimus_Prime looks at Perceptor. "Because they are unable to defend 
  themselves against the Decepticon threat." 
Perceptor looks fearfully towards Televis. 
Perceptor says, "Tell me of your opinions of the humans..." 
Perceptor adds, "...with no mentioning of the Decepticons." 
Optimus_Prime considers this. "The humans are good allies. They are 
  interesting organisms that have a right to freedom and life which is not 
  interfered with by any other alien beings." 
Perceptor mutters to Televis, "... the... am... to lock... Prowl's... 
  works,... do... to... matrix... frame..." 
You whisper "Before I finish the connection, I am going to lock down all 
  motor control of Prowl's body. If anything works, I do not trust this 
  mockery to place the right personality matrix in the frame..." to 
  Televis. 
Perceptor says, "Why is any Autobot presence maintained on Earth, then? Are 
  we not interfering?" 
Televis mutters to Perceptor, "Roger that Perky." 
Televis whispers "Roger that Perky." 
Optimus_Prime says, "We must protect the humans from the Decepticon 
  threat." 
Perceptor continues listening to Prime as he turns to the computer 
  terminal. 
ausing you to react this way. :) 
The Reconstruction seems to relax as gears release tension and mechanisms 
  unwind. Lights continue to flash on the internal circuitry, however. 
Televis quotes, "It's working... It's WORKING!" 
Perceptor blinks towards Televis, throwing his Optics in the direction of 
  the still-unconnected communication cable. 
Televis mutters to Perceptor, "... say... on." 
Televis whispers "Mad scientist talk. Gotta say it when we turn stuff on." 
Perceptor mutters to Televis, "... entirely... computer." 
You whisper "I just locked down all motor neuron control mechanisms. They 
  are entirely under the control of the computer." to Televis. 
Optimus_Prime glances over at Prowl. "How long until you will be able to 
  determine if you can revive him?" 
Perceptor seems not to even notice the change in subject, "We can move 
  onward with the attempt." 
Perceptor walks over towards the Reconstruction, "Hmm...this cable seems to 
  have slipped off..." 
Perceptor connects the communication cable to the neural circuits of the 
  robot. 
Optimus_Prime's optics flash in what appears to be concern. "Will that 
  cause problems?" 
Perceptor shakes his head, "No, I have resecured the connection." 
Optimus_Prime nods, accepting the explaination and reassurance 
Perceptor says, "Okay, that should do it...we may begin." 
Perceptor says, "Prime, if you will do what you must?" 
Optimus_Prime's optics dim for a moment as if he is concentrating 
  internally 
Televis grins. "So where's the big lever? 
Perceptor looks towards the monitors, "Hmm...not as much activity as I 
  would have surmised..." 
The Matrix glows for a brief moment, than dims down to a lesser glow than 
  it evidenced earlier. 
The Reconstruction's eyes and limbs continue to hold their cold, lifeless 
  shine. 
Optimus_Prime's optics flicker 
Televis says, "Maybe if we hit it with lightning. Where do you keep the 
  platform that raises through the cieling?" 
Perceptor looks sharply towards Televis, "What?!" 
Televis seems shocked. "You don't HAVE one? Ah well..." 
Perceptor shakes his head, "I presume it concerns that movie of which you 
  so often speak..." 
Perceptor returns his attention to Optimus Prime. 
Televis grins "Yeah." 
Televis hrmms and monitors the screens, adjusting anything he needs to. 
Optimus_Prime continues concetrating on something... 
Perceptor says quietly, "I do not know what is happening, but I hope it is 
  for our benefit." 
Perceptor looks to Televis, "Are there any readings on Prowl?" 
Televis hrmms. 
Televis says, "Nadfa. Cold as a well digger's canary." 
Optimus_Prime finally comes out of his "trance". He looks at Perceptor. 
  "Anything?" 
Perceptor frowns, "Nothing at all, Prime." 
Televis says, "Bummer." 
Perceptor asks, "Could you find anything in the Matrix? 
Optimus_Prime seems to frown. "It... did not communicate with me." 
Televis says, "Were my keys in there cause I was looking.." 
Perceptor nods, "Hmm...perhaps we will just need to attempt again later." 
Perceptor frowns as he disconnects the cables from Optimus Prime and the 
  Matrix. 
Televis nods. "Well that was anticlamactic... 
Optimus_Prime says, "I wish to keep trying until it is clear that we cannot 
  revive him. If Whiz and Firestar had not continued attempting with me, I 
  would not be here." 
Perceptor glances towards Televis, "Was /everything/ recorded by the 
  computer?" 
Televis grins. "Anyhoo I have a party to catch on Junk. See you guys later. 
  Lemme know when you're ready for try 2. 
Perceptor nods to Televis, "I will do so, Televis. Thank you tremendously 
  for your assistance!" 
Televis nods. "Uh huh. It's all in the mem banks. EVERYTHING. 
Like WHOA! Televis Totally shifts to his... her valley girl mode! 
  Toootally! 
Televis quotes, "So like- I'm going. Seeya!" 
Perceptor chuckles, "Farewell, Televis." 
Televis scoots himself off. 
Televis leaves to the Main Lobby - Second Floor to the west.
