[The video is a bit fuzzy, the screen smudged with what appears to be soot, or some other dark material. Perceptor himself is much the same, though he doesn't appear to notice in the slightest.]

[He actually looks amused. He holds up one hand, to gesture at the camera -- and there are blackened rings of something around each wrist.]

Good news! I've managed to make progress in several projects I've been working on recently, and they may prove of some use to the populace.

For starters... there was a personal defense weapon for a specific individual...

[Cough - Ambulon - cough.] So. If they would be so kind as to inform me of their coordinates, I can send the prototype there with all due expedience.

Secondly... In response to the ah... issue at hand, that involving those without Glyphs, I may be able to offer a temporary solution to any sudden bouts of destructive mania.

[He holds up what appear to be a perfectly normal pair of... handcuffs. Cybertronian style, but still.]

Temporary. The effect I've designed won't last terribly long, but. It's a start.

Really. I hadn't noticed.

[Do you hear that sarcasm, Optimus.]

[Oh he hears it, and shares in that sentiment.]

My apologies if he has inconvenienced you in any way. I am afraid he is not one of my soldiers.

Oh nothing of the sort. He's simply been irritating via the network.

No, he's one of the ah... Wreckers, I believe. Under Magnus' command, in my world.

I can only imagine. You have boundless patience.

[And no matrix. BONUS POINTS.]

That is correct. Although I am not familiar with Ultra Magnus in my own personal world, I fear.

Is the one I spoke to earlier...from your world?

I wouldn't go that far, Optimus. He seems to delight in feeling superior in some way, even when logic dictates he isn't. I simply remind him of the fact.

Repeatedly.

Mm, no. The Ultra Magnus present in the Haven is not of my universal origin. I simply refer to him as I did the one I know out of habit. Far easier to continue addressing him as "Commander" rather than figure out what his new title is, and then unlearn it once I return to my Cybertron.
