Wing's taken over the investigation for Vandal. He's faster, smarter, and a member of the Law Committee. I think it's time we agree and admit this is a crime and not a disappearance, anyway.

[Also, Wing didn't die recently. That, uh, probably helps his CV, too.]

Going out into the Badlands. There's...something I need to find out there.

[He hesitates, then locks the feed from Wing.]

Anyone come back, and, uh, remember things? That they haven't lived through?

....like Theophany?

Not planning on it.

[Not that he was planning on it last time, either.]

I didn't think that you were.

[Drift should know better than to try a joke with Ultra Magnus. Or try a joke, period.]

I just...I want to see where it happened.

Why?

[sword_redemption]

...I don't know. Maybe it'll make sense out there.

[It sure doesn't here.]

[thehardway]

I don't see how. But if that's what you need.

...You'll find it. The area with the most scorch marks.

[sword_redemption]

I don't know what I need.

But I need to do something.

[He nods. He figured.]

[thehardway]

When should we expect you back?

[sword_redemption]

Not long. Tomorrow.

I just...I need to get my head straight.

[thehardway]

Very well.
