audio | location: ... SOMEWHERE AWKWARDLY CLOSE TO THE BAD LANDS

[thxforthememories]

[There's nothing much to the message. Just another plea for help from a robot -- those have gotten pretty common lately, haven't they? Especially from this one.]

I need someone's help -- out on the edges of the badlands... I --

I found Perceptor out here.

[Not exactly who he was looking for, but. A friend is a friend.]

He's damaged. Buried in rocks. I don't know what happened... I can't get him back safely by myself.

[The sound of rock shifting can be heard. Despite what he says, he's trying to get the Autobot out of trouble. Without much success.]

He needs help, please!

[...]

No, I have a ship that flies. You might have noticed it? Big, red, floats in the air?

[video]

[thxforthememories]

No.

I haven't been... I've been distracted.

[video]

[showboater]

...you know what? Okay, fine.

Anyway. I got a big ship. he's buried, right? I can come in from on top, do precision work until we can bust him out.

[video]

[thxforthememories]

Anything. Anything that might work.

It wouldn't harm him, would it?

[video]

[showboater]

Shouldn't. I'm good at my job.

[video]

[thxforthememories]

... All right. As long as he'll be all right.

[video -> action]

[showboater]

I can't help it if there's an accident, rocks're unpredictable.

But if we're careful, it'll be fine.

[Video shifts as he apparently sets down his Link device and settles on steering the Galleon.

The shadow the massive ship casts will be Kagerou's first sign of Marvelous's arrival.]

[video -> action]

[thxforthememories]

I'll watch him. And the rocks.

[As best he can, anyway.]

[And of course, an arriving shadow probably means trouble. Which... therefore means he's on guard and armed when he sees it.]

[showboater]

[Marvelous would be pleased to be called trouble. The guns pointed in his direction, not so much. He drops in on a line, already wearing his red armor.]

Yo. We talked a minute ago?

[He twists to peer around Kagerou at the rocks.]

Perceptor, you okay in there?
