[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.]

Reasons why I prefer my subjects to be... nonliving... in nature. Physical sciences, barring those involving medicine and physiology.

Simpler, that way.

[Yes, Perceptor, because theoretical astrophysics is "simple".]

Generally, yes. Many more paths to take with nonliving specimens. More creative freedom. Allows for more trial and error.

Prefer not to do as some have done and use trial and error on the living. Not a fan.

In that, I believe, we can agree.
