A peak behind the scenes at my slowly shaping up, iteratively revised actual-words-to-"neocybex"-gibberish-minus-Jazz 's-known-words formula and a small bit of the dictionary at the moment. It's made things progressively easier to "translate" (or not) without having to think too hard about it or scroll ridiculous amounts. The dictionary is going to break 500 words soon because I'm hardly going to delete a word even if I end up cutting it from the final version of a chapter.

This sounds like it's recorded in a can, but as an effective music illiterate I think this turned out pretty good for a Suno song. I sometimes wish I was more musically inclined than just "I like it" or "I don't like it" but that's mostly where I exist in music-land.

I can write some lyrics, bash it together with vibes, and usually get something not horrible with Suno with a certain amount of iterations.

Like I said though: can-quality. Singer is okay for AI with only minimal clipping but the background is eh. The actual notes are fine but it's... staticky? Distorted? ...Noisy? in the background layers. Not sure what it is but it grates.

I guess I can't complain, since I can't sing or play a musical instrument to save my life.

*a lightbulb turns on* Maybe it's the headphones' EQ? *starts fiddling with EQ not knowing what I'm doing* That sort of helps? Maybe? Hmmmm... *fiddles some more*

His name is Trigger Discipline! He's just a little guy (for a seeker) because he's really old. Starscream would look down his nasal ridge at him as an old, slow, outdated model despite being a decorated Ace from wars long past. Trigger would return the favor for Starscream's erratic and dishonorable behavior.

He has no remaining trinemates but he has an amica endura named Steelsky. They are an odd pair because Steelsky is a bomber that is more than three times his size in all dimensions and out-masses him even more.

Both of them are old soldiers and the original Decepticon ideology drew them in, but they have long since become disillusioned with the state of their faction. As old military models, they prefer to abide by their old military protocol when their commanders aren't murderous psychopaths.

This hulk of a flight frame is Steelsky: a bomber model who has more gun turrets than anyone knows what to do with and a big dog personality. Believe it or not, he owes his life to Trigger Discipline. Way back in the bad old days, he'd had his engines damaged during a bombing run and was left behind by his Flight since, while he could still fly, he wasn't fast enough to keep up.

While mopping up enemy stragglers and putting the wounded out of their misery, Trigger Discipline saw the bomber's limping flight and considered it. But...

Steelsky was still flying.

He had been absolutely ravaged by enemy fire, but he was flying. Barely. He could make it back to base.

Instead of shooting the wounded bomber down, Trigger Discipline held his fire and flew in formation with Steelsky instead, warding off further attacks. He peeled off once Steelsky was close to safety and the bomber returned to base, never knowing the identity of the Seeker that had spared, and then saved, his life until after the war.

Jazz, to compensate for his lack of emotive face, regardless of the space Italian, will gesture in varying levels of exaggeration. Especially now that he has to run up against all these lucky ducks who get easy mode in terms of expressiveness. Cheaters. He's got body language, those little head fins, and a mind sponge for language. He'll work with that he's got; there's PEOPLE to talk to!

Nevermind that he doesn't even know that he's "missing" an entire sixth sense as far as the Cybs are concerned.

This is sorta what Jazz is listening to as Bluestreak talks, and talks, and talks. By happenstance, Bluestreak now sounds "Italian" on account of the robot voice coming out as one of the least offensive accents when going that fast. The alternative was Spanish for similar reasons.

Sensor wings are hereby decreed the Praxian version of Italian hand gestures. lol

I have to keep rebuilding my "Words Jazz Knows" document because I keep changing the dialogue which keeps changing all the dialogue further downstream. The demon known as Jazz goes down a completely different rabbit hole if you give him one (1) new word to work with.

I complain, but I'm the one finding it entertaining enough to keep doing it. ╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭

Have a new old meme. Gotta get back to my authorial M.

Seven minute scribble. Post!

Peace signs to the cams! Jazz might be in a box, but Jazzes only remain in boxes as long as they feel like it.

Check out Keferon's TF Mecha Pilot AU for the inspiration.

*covers eyes* It has been years since I have drawn ANYTHING and I have never been a mecha artist type. Have a thing I scribbled in a half hour or so.

*ra ra ra! slams "post now" anyway*

Keferon's AU is absolute gold.
