Some of you may have heard, or this is otherwise very last minute, but tomorrow there is a local festival celebrating the contributions and cultures of Otherworlders. It takes place in Min'To, the scholars truly dedicate themselves in the efforts to learn and preserve as much as they can about the Otherworlders. Though it might not seem that way at times, we've always greatly appreciated them throughout our history.
[And with how things were shaping up, maybe this was where they needed to focus their efforts to address the oncoming Calamity. ]
The celebration doesn't have to be limited to Min'To, I don't know if we were successful in distributing enough pamphlets about regional holidays this month in time. If you're comfortable sharing what you love about your cultures and worlds, I'd be honoured to listen and perhaps pass it on to the scholars. Or we can meet in person another time, it isn't something that should be limited to one day.
There is something else I want to ask, however. [ More like several things, in all honesty, but this would already be pushing boundaries. Breathe, Sylvarie. ]
Has anyone else felt they are searching for something... else, here in Vaikuntha? Something more? Something that has been lost.
You don't have to answer, I know it sounds strange. You can ignore this altogether if you wish. Thank you for listening.

Cybertron has not achieved much in terms of cultural significance outside of warfare for the past four million years, but I can share what I can recall from memory on our laws, geography, and society. I'm certain that organics would be fascinated by the workings of a mechanical species, and science is just as important as literature when understanding another people.
On another note, I have contact Ganeshan repeatedly in editing his pamphlets centered on the Job System, but he has not incorporated even one of my suggestions. As you work with him, could you convince him to use consistent typefaces across his documents and to adjust the margins to 0.4? Thank you in advance.

[Megatron can deal with all that poetry and fiction of old Cybertron. Most of the famous works that Minimus is familiar with were written by his brother, and he's dealt with living in his shadow long enough.]

You would be correct in that theory, as the closest I know of a ‘mechanical species’ prior to your own arrival are our magitek, and they hardly come close from my observations. In theory, the aspects you mentioned could very well be the culture of your people even if you are not consciously aware it is so.
[ But as far as his other point goes– ]
I may have heard of such a report regarding the pamphlet format, but I don’t have much power of changing it myself. Most of my duties in regards to that lies in distribution. I could try to pleading the case to him and Claire on your behalf.

[ The key word being ‘try,’ because she still. Isn’t capable of much around Ganeshan aside from clamming shut and perhaps unleashing an odd squeak. ]
Re: Text
A cultural exchange between ourselves and organic species would be ideal. I do not want a misunderstanding to create a rift between us, and with starting with the basic introduction to Cybertronians, I can ease into more complex topics such as cultural significance of planet regions. However, I must warn you that I am not a medical professional or blacksmith, and this my knowledge will be very surface level. I will fare better with history.
I understand that your rank relative to Ganeshan impedes your ability to make major changes, but I appreciate your effort. The Curti Centre cannnot be lax on maintaining a high degree of professionalism.

Even sharing history would mean a great deal to us Vaikunthans. We can learn much from what others have gone through, and our own history only goes so far. Much was lost during the Great War, and current circumstances seem as if they can be mediated in some way if we had any knowledge of before that time. Dealing with others, as well, is an exercise in taking into account past interactions throughout history.
In truth, the higher ranking staff can be generous in how lax they treat us and what we may allow us to do, sensitive and private information. But I agree, we cannot be lax in the standards we hold ourselves to.

How recent was the Great War? In my universe, peace has only officially been instated for four years, and we continue to struggle to adjust. Mind you, Cybertronians live for millions of years, so this is a small period of time in our perspective. In my experience, I have found that organic races are quick to adapt. The loss of an old way of life is an frustrating tragedy, but remaining in the past is the antithesis of healing.
I shall prepare a presentation for an introductory lecture to Cybertron. I long for the days when I would regularly present my findings to a group.

I'm afraid that records regarding that war are sparse, of how long ago it was. It could be centuries, it could be millennia, the only thing for certain is that it took our world a long time to recover from it, and we've known peace since.
[ Well, aside from the events of ten years ago... ]
I know for a fact there is always a group willing to listen, it is merely a matter of finding the audience and opportunities to do so. Arito would be a good place to start, though Outworlders are just as inclined as well.

That is a shame. I am no historian, but I appreciate the effort the Vaikunthan natives have made to rebuild society. I have been researching your laws in order to determine where to live, and I am impressed by the depth certain cities take when writing the subclauses. A comprehensive morality system is key to a peaceful world.
That is an encouraging statement. Thank you, Sylvarie. I hope to speak with you again soon.

Each country has its own form of governing, but you're right—when it comes to it, we are capable of working together and rebuilding. Curti Center itself was a testament to that even before the current timeline of cycles began.
Likewise Minimus, I do look forward to having the opportunity to speak again.
