[OH HEY LOOK. Perceptor's back! And... apparently draped all over something. But for the moment, it's hard to see what exactly he's laying on.]

Ah, yes. Well. It would seem things are beginning to go back to a relative state of normalcy? And none too soon, I might add, considering the number of projects I'm meant to be working on...

[He pauses, shifting a little, and glancing at something off-screen.]

... Speaking of which, I'd like to go back to work as soon as possible. If anyone with information on the following projects would kindly respond, we can continue.

[He switches to text, typing out his list:]

> Wheeljack's idiotic ship
> synthetic energon
> the location of the "DRILLER"
> the nature of the "DRILLER"
> Smokescreen's current status and location

[The list sent, he shifts again.] As I said, any information on those subjects will be most appreciated --

[And looks up once more, speaking to whatever it is he's looking at.]

Commander, kindly hold your legs still until I'm finished. Your lap is hardly as comfortable as it looks --

[END FEED.]

Nah, I guess not.

[He never should've mentioned that stuff, should he?]

[sciencetank]

If you have any further information, it could prove invaluable.

I--

[He silent, as he tries to think of anything he could give. But he just shakes his head. It's just not there.]

Perceptor, I wish I could help. But...I can't.

[He feels bad. He knows the stuff could be useful.]

[sciencetank]

I don't mean immediately. If something happens to come back...

[He knows he's probably grasping at straws here, but he has to try.]

[For Cybertron.]

[He knows Percy, he knows. For this Cybertron, or any other. It makes him feel guilty that he can't remember it.]

You'll be one of the first ta know.

[He'll look at the list again.]

Smoke had been with me while he was a...dog the last few days. But once we were bots again, he said he wanted ta get back ta Alpha Trion's.

[sciencetank]

Your assistance is appreciated.

[He makes a thoughtful noise.]

Yes, I'd noticed his own transformation... and he's contacted me now. You were keeping an optic on him, then?

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

I was, yeah. I wound up a...human myself. So it was a learnin' experience.

[sciencetank]

I must admit, I was rather envious of those of you still possessing the use of your vocal processors.

[neverputincharge]

Oh? What did you wind up as?
