[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.]

AUDIO;

[thehardway]

You could just... get off my lap, if it's that--

...It looks comfortable?

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[What are you even on...]

Careful, Percy. I think you just smothered a small country.

It's not idiotic!

AUDIO;

[sciencetank]

Well, if you'd rather I went crashing spectacularly and dramatically to the floor, then by all means, I shall.

That's what I said, isn't it?

[Video]

[sciencetank]

Which country would that be?

Is it finished? No. Therefore, it's idiotic until it's completion, and subsequent successful flight. Provided it's capable of doing so, and won't merely crash catastrophically into the ground.

...

Primus, I've missed speaking.

[dinnerdate]

Synthetic energon?

[sciencetank]

That's what I said, isn't it?

[dinnerdate]

Why would you want that?

[sciencetank]

For science.

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Do I look like I'm an expert on countries?

...

Yeah, and you're the idiot workin' on it. How's that make you feel, Sarge?

[Video]

[sciencetank]

Then why say anything about countries at all?

At the moment, no, I'm not working on it.

[dinnerdate]

But... It couldn't possibly taste good.

Re: [Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Hey, I can generalize. There ARE small countries.

[Just not an expert.]

So you don't mind if I finish the job?

[Video]

[sciencetank]

That doesn't make it any more understandable.

I do mind.

[sciencetank]

And?

[dinnerdate]

What's the point if it won't taste right.

[sciencetank]

I already said. Science.

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Yeah? You didn't seem too appreciative of it earlier.

[Video]

[sciencetank]

Wheeljack, earlier I was a small reptile gorging itself on organic fuel from an aluminum can.

My judgment over the past week or so can hardly be held against me.

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

....Tasty.

[Yeah, he knows that feel bro.]

...So what are we calling this 'idiotic' thing again?

[Video]

[sciencetank]

I have absolutely zero desire to discuss that matter.

...

Irukandji.

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

There's...gotta be an easier way to remember that.

..




Wait, I told you to stay away from Synth-En.

[Video]

[sciencetank]

I suggest writing it down. And memorizing it.

Did you now? Hmm. I must have conveniently forgotten.

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Then I suggest ya write it down. And memorize it.

[dinnerdate]

Science isn't really a good point to mess with energon.

[Video]

[sciencetank]

Memorize the name of your ship, and I'll consider it.
