Something internal twinges and Blaze stops in her tracks, optics narrowing. Maybe it does sound bad, but most people don't react so vehemently. There was a time she'd have brushed it off easily, but lately her experiences in the Nexus have dredged up a murky load of questions and fragmented memories and... emotions she's not cut out to handle. She doesn't know how to feel about the subject, and her kneejerk response is to tense up uneasily.
"Settle down, it's not so- it's not like that. No-one's running around doing anything to us. Pretty sure the only people who'd know how are centuries gone." She lifts a hand to rub awkwardly at one antenna. "Truth is, I don't remember that either. But I don't believe they'd have done anything we didn't agree to. So maybe we needed rebooting, or wanted it. Or maybe- maybe it just happens. Not much left to get up in arms about, either way."
It's funny how death is the lighter topic of conversation here. Well, Blaze has an easier time with it at least. Even Ghost stops hanging back and watching carefully to give Johnny a curious look. "You did? How'd you get resurrected?"
Ghost gives a little dip of his shell as he answers the question, part of his attention on summoning the promised bike. "Let's say I normally hear 'We'll be fine' right before someone jumps into a three-way melee. Or collapses the citadel under us. Or punches an evil shrine."
"You said 'destroy it'," Blaze remarks, watching a sleek grey and white bike materialize in front of them. The anti-gravs flare to life when she slaps the handlebars, the engine thrumming gently. "So this is a Sparrow - Cavalier series, S-21 variant. Won't be a comfortable ride, but extra weight isn't a problem."
