[ Here's a face that's been gone from the network for over a month. Wing looks a touch weary, his pinions lax, even though physically he seems in good health]

Hello Haven. I'm back now. I apologize for my absence, it was not intentional.

Sorry to ask this but, would anyone care to update me on recent events? Particularly from the Law Committee? I would appreciate it greatly.

[ He knows about Vandal, and a few of the others that have gone missing, which likely accounts for his glum mood.]

Also, committee members, I think we should put serious consideration into mapping not just the Haven but the surrounds. And clearly mark hazardous areas.

To everyone else... Please, if you're considering going exploring alone, regardless of skill level, do reconsider. Everyday we discover new hazards that persist on this world.

[ Wing might have taken down six reanimated mech frames on his own, maybe. But with the energy drain? There was no chance. ]

And well, I have a bunch of books, mostly human ones, that I don't need anymore. [ More specifically he needs to make room in his...room for someone else's stuff. ] Would anyone like them? I don't want them thrown away.

[Private to Barricade]

You're the one that told me about--what did you call them?--zombies?

Yeah. I have experience in that area now that I do not wish to repeat. [ o_o;; ]

[Private to Perceptor and Captain Marvelous]

Thank you, both of you, for coming to my aid.

I'm sorry to have put you in danger in the process of my rescue. If there's anything I can do to return the boon, please do tell me. I am in your debt.

[Someone's tad nervous.]

[ Blurr, BLURR. If Wing was a grounder, you'd have blown his doors off. As it is, his pinions quiver from the sound vibration coming over the link. ]

Primus help us, Blurr! Vent a little okay mech? I was with you up until...Vandal. [ He winces a little. ] Can you start over please?

[He's sorry really. Blurr's actually shutting up and looking slightly ashamed.]

Sorry. I was worried about you... [He repeats himself, more slower this time.]

No, no it's fine. I'm flattered, actually. Thank you.[ He smiles warmly. ]

[ But oh...a lot has happened in the past month. ]

So-so many missing! Wait, murdered!?

[ Wow could Wing look more disturbed? ]

But you took over the bar, and you're still working with the police force?

You are welcome [He smiles briefly but it fades way quickly as he listens to the next questions.]

Quistrike did it. We are _{still investigating if he was the}only perpetrator or more people were involved in the murder. He's now in jail, awaiting for his trial.

And the Pantry too since Saber went missing. And yes, I am. I could use a bit of help, I can't remember the last item I rested my optics. Dead End works at the bar full time as bartender, I'm only there at night.

[The welcome warmed his spark, but the news that followed...it's all too chilling.]

First terrorism, now murder. Here in the Haven.

[ To say this upsets him would be an understatement. He's almost overwhelmed with battling emotions: That someone would dare disrupt the peace here and guilt for not being able to prevent it.]

Do we have everything we need to proceed with a trial?

[ But then his face softens, because he's been in this position before and so has Blurr. Taking on too much. But it's good to hear Blurr asking for help, Wing knows what an effort that is. ]

Absolutely. I'll come back to work at the bar to give you some relief and help out at the Pantry too.

How...how long as Saber been missing? [ That's news. He knew about Vandal and Ultra Magnus already. But this... ]

[Blurr wishes he had good news to share, he really does. Losing so many people in such short time, so many of his friends, affects him more than he wants others to know.]

Seems like no society is free from chaos. We are still working on it but there's a lot of proofs this time _{and so far Megatronus}hasn't spoken against it.

[Barricade pointed out that Blurr had to reduce his stress levels, so he really is trying to ask for help this time. It's still hard and makes him feel weak.]

Thank you a lot, Wing. [He realizes that perhaps he said that way too eagerly.] Imeantakeyourtime! And rest first, of course. I would like to see you, though. I'm really glad you are still here. [Like you have no idea. Blurr wants to give you a hug.]

She's been...gone for one day, 12 hours and 34 minutes. [He knows second by second how long ti was and he can't stop thinking about it.] I know it doesn't seem much but I know her. is not like Saber to leave like that.

[It's gotten to be too much for Wing, it's getting to the point he can't hide it anymore.]

No, but there should be order to balance it. I'm glad though, that we're making some progress.

[Wing owes Barricade some thanks, then.]

No I've been gone too long. I feel tired but there's no reason for it, nothing in my systems that says it's real. I need to get out and live life to shed this pall. [He smiles.] So I'd love to come work at the bar. With you?[Liveliest place in Haven, that's for sure.]

[He looks sad again.] She's so strong too... [He can't imagine her succumbing to anything.]

[Sometimes is good to let it go, Wing. Don't hide it.]

I couldn't agree more. At some point we need to have a talk with the FirstForged. [Blurr is not sure if they would ever agree to have such meeting, or how could it end.]

How strange. Did any of the medics give you a check up?

[Blurr doesn't need to think about Wing's suggestion twice.] Of course you can. I was only taking care of you in your absence. We should come up with a name for the bar eventually. And find a DJ.

[One of Blurr's hands reaches out to touch Wing's arm, he looks just as down now.] She is.

[He doesn't like getting other people down. ~~He should listen to his own preaching~~]

We should. At least to open a dialogue, see what their expectations are, hopefully come to an understanding.

[He nods.] They did. Ambulon had, well, a lot of work to do when I returned. [He coughs. Yeah it was not pretty from what he understands.] My diagnostics are all clean. It's just... I don't know. I think it's this place.

[It hasn't dulled his spirit yet, but seems to be trying to.]

Oh yes! Well...I don't mind handling music. I. I mean... I'm not as good, but I'd do it in his honor. [He frowns, sorrow casting a brief shadow over his face. And then he pushes it away.] But we have to be strong. They'd both want us to be.

[That's what makes Wing to lovable ~~yep, he should~~.]

Do you think that Prima and Megatron would be able to stay in the same room without fighting for more than ten minutes? If not, then we will have a problem.

I can imagine he did. [Blurr frowns slightly at the news.] Do you think perhaps the lambda's influencing you?

[Blurr is silent for a bit, understanding.] I miss him too. [He doesn't say anything else, just nods.]

[He tries. He tries so hard.]

Well they've been brothers for who knows how long and they're essentially a team trying to get this place established. I would hope they could tolerate each other.

He is a great medic, we're lucky to have him. [Wing shakes his helm.] No. I think it'll pass, or I hope it will. It's just...that place. [A frown. He could talk about the vile feel it. The brutal attack, getting overwhelmed, then escaping only to lie helpless for weeks praying to be rescued before he faded out.]

[But then we get back to the 'not wanting to get people down' thing.] Trust me don't want to know the details.

[He nods, solemn and grave.] Just means we appreciate those that remain all the more, right?

brothers and sister don't always get along. I lost count on how many times Jetstorm and Jetfire fought each other. But let's hope this is not the same case as them.

We are. [Blurr optics narrow and get brighter as he looks more concerned.] Wing you can talk to me about anything, you know that, right? I always want to now the details, specially if those affect my friends.

Right. [Blurr wishes he could do that. It's hard.]
