So Light was right, and Shockwave had finished the portal thing. At least, besides the targeting bit which didn't surprise her. "If it works and all you need is targeting or whatever, then its probably due to your lack of insight on how dimensional travel works." Light said, pulling out her hole. While she really couldn't give much of a detailed explanation or visual demonstration as to how it all worked, she hoped her limited knowledge would be of use.
Pulling out some oversized glasses and donning a teacher's outfit, Light used her hole as a floppy ruler. "I'm sure you know how normal travel works in the same universe, the same concept kinda works in the multiverse except for two things." Light began, speaking matter of fact, which was odd for her to do. "One. A universe is in a 'snowglobe' if that makes sense, IE while mostly infinite, its 'isolated' to itself. Second, the Void. Making a connection needs to be able to 'pierce' the snowglobe, and then make a tunnel through the Void, or pure entropy. Sometimes worlds make connections to other worlds on their own, sometimes you need a very powerful object and energy to create a tunnel through the Void, and sometimes you just live in the Void." Light continued, stepping in and out of her hole, but this really didn't do much to show what she meant.
"You have the energy and piercing needed from the sound of things, but you lack the ability to direct it, which is caused by the Void. But since terminals are a thing, you could use them to send your 'target' marker to search out a location in that world, then use whatever terminals in the world that links to and so on and so on til you get your destination, like a big spiderweb. Otherwise you just gotta chance your portal piercing through the Void and going somewhere you want it to go." Light concluded, sighing as she took off all the stuff she was wearing.
"Man, telling people actual knowledge is tiring. I'd much rather play a game instead." Light said, sighing again. "If you wanna test this, I'll gladly go on through. If I get stuck in the Void, thats fine. Thats my home anyway." Light said with a smile.
Shockwave took note to remember every word the one known as Light told him. A preexisting set of portals ... the information the anomaly was giving him was most interesting, regardless of the most illogical means by which it traded the information. He would have to look into how it managed to bring about a change of armor seemingly out of nowhere. Perhaps some kind of private storage dimension?
"I see, your thesis is logical. However, I still lack a way to track these terminals you speak of."
If the terminals were some kind of network, then perhaps he could tap into it. It would be far simpler to use a preexisting system than to make his own. At the very least, he could use the terminal's system to do the targeting for his Space Bridge. That might work, however he would need to find a terminal first.
"Perhaps if I could find a preexisting terminal, it would be possible to reverse engineer the technology."
These terminals seemed to be very similar to the original Space Bridges used by previous Cybertronian civilizations prior to their collapse. Of course, the scale of these terminals seemed to be much larger. The prospect was fascinating, and he was beginning to think he might put his ultimate warrior projects on hold.
