Chapter 2- Making Music.
As M-38 walked out from the tower's gates, his audio receptors tingled. Pausing for a moment, he tried concentrating on this specific signal. But as he listened closely, he swore he could hear music somewhere. Driven by primordial curiousity, Unit M-38 could not stop himself from converting into vehicle mode and driving southward. As he drove to the scene, he began asking himself, 'What..what am I doing? Why can't I stop myself from driving?" Struggling for control, Unit M-38 tried to stop himself from his current path, only for him to lose control. As he transformed back into robot mode, M-38 found himself careening into a rock wall, knocking himself offline.
Regaining consciousness, M-38 pulled himself from the wreckage before trying to scan the area. All the while, he was still hearing that same music from before. Searching through the ruins, M-11 then uncovered what looked like an antiquated radio blurting out a series of nonsensical words. "Krzch-hellooo, fellow survivors! This is your ol' pal Master Blaster comin' at 'cha...' At first, M-38 felt compelled to destroy the radio. Lord Straxus warned his kind of this kind of sorcery, he said. That it would corrupt their circuits. But try as he might, M-38 found himself unable to do so, feeling strangely intrigued by the words coming out from the radio. "...I love those dear hearts and gentle people...who live in my home town..." Gently, M-38 placed the radio down before listening to this strange music. "...they read the good book, from Fri 'til Monday, that's how the weekend goes. [how it goes]..." As he listened to the music, Unit M-38 found himself tapping a foot to the music. It seemed so calm, so innocent. How could these barbarians come up with something so harmless, he mused as he switched off the radio. But just as M-38 got up to leave, he picked up the old radio, curious as to how such technology could exist. Transforming back to vehicle mode, Unit M-38 peeled away from the scene, his radio tucked neatly in a safe compartment. Perhaps he could show it to his fellow Vehicons.
