[it's possibly no surprise that optimus cares enough to check in on the team, after he cared enough to jump off a huge platform for them. or maybe it is?]
I wanted to thank you for your assistance in the mission. [considering he asked them all along. there is an awkward pause.] ...Did you get your hat back?
[Having not been filled in on the whole "most of the time the space bridge brings people back to life" situation, Lucifer was more than a bit surprised to get a call from Optimus.]
Indeed, and thank you for your assistance in the matter.
[kind of morbid, but at least someone on their team came out of that adventure with a net zero gain, rather than an actively negative one.]
Ah... well, for those of us that have been brought here by the space bridge, it's been observed that if we lose our lives then we're revived by it. Not always, but it seems to be very likely. Not that this fact has done much for the collective self-preservation for the crew.
[it's not clear if he's including himself in that.]
Now I'm not expert in how the afterlife usually works for you Cybertronians, but that sounds very much against the rules. Whoever set that up almost certainly has some divine punishment coming their way. That's not the kind of thing you mess with.
[considering what skywarp had described to them before, it's definitely complicated. especially if he was right about the allspark potentially being involved.]
Yes, it's certainly a unique situation. Or... not, given your own experiences. Information on why the bridge is the way it is isn't wholly abundant-- for now, all we can really do is take it as it comes, as the humans say. Even so, I wouldn't consider it a guarantee.
It's not that I'm familiar with this situation, per se, more that I know what happens when you meddle too much with the status quo. Especially when it comes to souls.
I certainly would not put any faith in it. Who knows how long it is going to be allowed.
[unseen, he puts a hand to his chest and figures that if he's not getting a vision from primus telling him they should stop doing that, maybe there's a little more time on however long they have on it still working.]
...It's something many of the crew are trying to find answers on. For now, I'm sure many are grateful for the second chance.
