[for a long few moments, there's only the sound of ventilation. fans cycling a mech's air systems. he's clicked on his radio, yeah, but now?

now he has no idea what to say, except something slightly hysterical.]

This is a lot different than I thought the Pit'd look like.

[He won't forget. But he won't mention it again.]

How did you know our ship?

[video]

[warborn]

[...this is Max's skeptical face.]

What kind of question is that? You and Ratchet brought me on the thing.

[video]

[sword_redemption]

I...was dying, Fortress Maximus. You returning was the last thing I saw before I came here.

Before I died.

[video]

[warborn]

...you didn't die. They made a vaccine. Something wrong with your memory banks?

[video]

[sword_redemption]

No. It was just the last thing I remembered before waking up here. I still had the plague. I would have died if Vector hadn't slowed it down.

What was yours?

[video]

[warborn]

Vector...?

...what was my what? [SUDDENLY GUARDED]

[video]

[sword_redemption]

Vector Prime. The Acolyte didn't explain it? One of the First Forged. They live here.

Your last memory. Before waking up here.

[video]

[warborn]

Don't even know what a 'First Forged' is, and I'd rather not talk about what I remember. [curt? just a lil'.]

[video]

[sword_redemption]

Where did you wake up? [Concerned.] Are you safe where you are? Do you need help?

[video]

[warborn]

I'm fine. In some sort of building I'm trying to figure out.

[video]

[sword_redemption]

[Wow, hostile much? Drift's just trying to help. He's even backing down from questions he thinks the other's avoiding.]

All right. I trust you.

Re: [video]

[warborn]

[yeah well YOU SHOULDN'T

erm.]

...right. I'll...comm you if I need you.

[video]

[sword_redemption]

[You won't. He knows that tone of voice. And he feels like he's missed something, something important, to be cut off so abruptly when he was simply trying to help.

[Then again, Perceptor had reacted the same way. He sighs.]

Be well.

[video]

[warborn]

...you too.
