Greetings.

I am Ultra Magnus, second-in-command of the Lost Light. It appears that this place is primarily populated by various organic species, so I will add that I am also a Cybertronian.

As I understand that I am indefinitely stuck here like the rest of you for the time being, I would like to better understand the environment and what your lives here have been like for however long you have been here.

This is not a normal situation. I want to learn more.


[Private from Krok|Public otherwise]

Additionally, I understand that a Decepticon has been here for the past couple of months.

If he has terrorized you in any way, I would gladly accept any reports. It would then be dealt with accordingly.

Sir.

[video]

[thehardway]

[Oh.

This is almost as awkward as the whole Prowl thing.]

...Drift.

How long have you been here?

[video]

[butwonderful]

I suppose as long as everyone else.

[ yeah he's getting used to this awkward. Not to mention he's pissed nobody even went looking for him. ]

[video]

[thehardway]

I see.

We should... [Pauses.] We should talk. I think.

[video]

[butwonderful]

Yeah, I guess we should.

[video]

[thehardway]

Yes. We should do that.

Probably in person.

[video]

[butwonderful]

... Fine.

[video]

[thehardway]

...When you're ready.

[like, no pressure, man.]

[Video]

[needlefingers]

The Decepticon isn't going to be a problem.

[Video]

[thehardway]

Okay. [why are you saying that in the most dramatic way possible]

I feel like you have more to add.

[video]

[butwonderful]

I'm as ready as I'll ever be.

[Video]

[needlefingers]

Nah.

Just wanted to say that he's not going to be a problem.




He's not dead if that's what you're worried about.

[video]

[thehardway]

All right.

Where do you want to meet?

[video]

[butwonderful]

I can come to you.

[Video]

[thehardway]

Well, I don't feel threatened by him, if that's what you mean.

[Slowly scowls more.]

I didn't think he was. Why would I need to worry about him being dead?

[video]

[thehardway]

I'm not far from where we all woke up, then. I can be outside of it.

[Video]

[needlefingers]

[Whoops this is going a lot more awkwardly than he thought it would.]

I beat him up. So, like I said, he's not going to be a problem for a while.

[Video]

[thehardway]

Chromedome.

[Gradually, you can see his patience start to wear. Not that he had much to begin with, but damn it all--]

All right, so what did he do? Threaten a human? Shoot you? Attack you?

[Video]

[needlefingers]

...Are you saying that I need a reason to do violence on a Decepticon?

[Is he hearing this right?]

[Video]

[thehardway]

Are you saying you didn't have a reason?

[Video]

[needlefingers]

Well he was sitting there looking all... Decepticon-like.

I wasn't about to let him make the first move.

[Video]

[thehardway]

So he was planning something?

[Video]

[needlefingers]

He might have been.

[Video]

[thehardway]

So what you're essentially telling me is that you attacked someone without cause or indication that he was planning on doing anything.

[Video]

[needlefingers]

I'm sorry, do you want me to track him down and apologize to him?

Maybe give him some energon candy for being mean.
