[It had started. If the strange electric feeling in the air hadn't clued him in, the fact that Dark Convoy had found him and talked with him would have cemented it. It had also given him an idea.]

Brothers...sister. Be ready. The time is soon.

To all those lacking Glyphs, I extend an invitation to you.

When the dark touch of chaos touches your minds, come find me. I may not be able to cure you of your ills, but at least in studying your descent I may find the tools to understand it.

[He has no more to say, and so he waits to see if there are any takers.]

Killing the Firstforged.

Don't even joke about that.

Well why not?! They obviously want us to do something violent and monstrous. Why not that?

And play into their expectations? You're smarter than that.

Maybe I don't want to.

[ Drastic change from 'I'm not a monster'. Rodimus seems to realize that a moment later, his optics widening. He shakes his head, then presses both hands to his helm. ]

This isn't going to work. I need to leave.

What do you need me to do?

[He does not enjoy feeling so helpless. He should have acted sooner about this.]

Come with me.

I should have-- I should have left sooner, when I wanted to. There's gotta be something out there. Something not... this.

Outside of the Haven, there is the Badlands. That would only make it worse.

Which means we need a ship. I could not begin to fathom how long that would take, but I know Wheeljack had intentions of starting on one. Perhaps get into contact with him?

I don't have time for that!

[ He grits his teeth, squeezing his optics shut. ]

What about the other direction? I just need to be. Away. From here.

...We could try.

I need to perform some escorting briefly, then I can go with you. If you need go ahead of me, I understand.

Forget about the escorting. Just come with me.

I can't abandon my duties as a law enforcer.

I will go with you, Rodimus, but I am required to do this first.

Your duties are more important than me.

[ Yes, he is determined to turn everything into a fight. Aggression overdrive. ]

I didn't say--

Rodimus, I understand you're my captain. [And whatever it is they are or aren't now.] This escort won't take long, though. It is the right thing to do to protect these individuals from those who would threaten them. They are more vulnerable than you are.

[ This frustrates him much more than it probably should. Ultra Magnus is one of those who had perfected telling him to wait or just... no in general, though. ]

I'm supposed to be a threat.

According to the Firstforged.

But you don't have to be.

Yeah. [ Apparently if he allows himself to be dissected alive. ]

Don't leave me too long.

I won't.

[ He could cut the convo short but-- ]

Hey, Ultra Magnus? If I die, make sure this waste chute here doesn't violate my corpse. Don't expect a funeral crypt or a remembrance avatar, but I think you get the idea.

You won't--

[He stops shortly. Who is he to make promises or assurances like that? Ultra Magnus pauses to consider.

What if indeed Rodimus dies. He doesn't want to consider it, but should it come to pass...]

I will take care of it.
