No it’s not!

It’s the name of a me!

We’ve moved a lot, since before I can really remember.  But I think the fastest one was when I was maybe half a vorn old?

We’d set up in a forest, somewhere with a lot of mountains.  We’d only been there a few days.  Suddenly my carrier was snatching me up and putting me in his cockpit.  He ended up leaving a lot of our stuff behind because we left in such a hurry.

I’d really liked that spot.  I didn’t like that we had to leave.  When I asked him why, he just said he’d sensed some bots who would have hurt us if they knew we were there.

The first time I ever saw a human was...hmm.

I think I was clinging to my carrier, still?  He says I did that a lot, when I was very little, that I spent all cycle attached to his chestplate.  We were...somewhere.  It was very hot, and...wet, I think?  But it wasn’t raining, the air was just heavy, like it sometimes is.

There were two of them.  Maybe more?  I just remember being very scared, even after my carrier got rid of them.

My memory banks weren’t fully formed yet, so I don’t remember much.  But I’m not scared of them any more; I can get rid of them on my own, now.

[Rest assured, the lack of clutter in Greylock’s life is due to a lack of things to clutter with and on, rather than any tidiness on her part.

For her own cleanliness, she lacks access to any sort of proper washing facilities, so it’s sub-par by Cybertronian standards.  She makes do with a mixture of fresh water and whatever cleaning supplies they’ve managed to pilfer.  Here’s an idea BG, make the baby take a proper bath.]

[Energon.  Aaaaand more Energon.  She was taking it highly-filtered for a while, but recently made the transition to the regular stuff.  This was a load off Starscream’s processor, since the filtering takes a shitton of time and resources to do, but it was a bit early in Greylock’s development to make the switch, so her tanks were Not Very Happy for a while (though she’s adapted by now).

In the future, when she has access to more varied foods, she’ll become a bit of a glutton, especially for sweets.]

[At the moment, none.  But once she gets older and spends some time with Ark she’ll occasionally don elaborate markings on her faceplate.]

[Though at the moment she’s too young (and isolated) to be attracted to anyone, Greylock falls into the usual Cybertronian practice of laughing at humans and their quaint little categories.

Thoughts on orientation right now are “that’s dumb, why would anyone do that?”]

[Greylock has already throughout her life had a small handful of minor rust infections, though nothing that couldn’t be treated by a good scouring.  It’s an unfortunate side-effect of living in occasionally damp environments, and not having the option of washing facilities, though Starscream has gone to great lengths to teach her hygiene maintenance.]
