[Haven, you know what? You look like you could really use one of Drift's wackadoodle theories right now. ]
The First Forged aren't telling us everything.
[Drift does not mince words. Bad guys, yes. Words, not so much.]
There were other settlers here before us. Over and over again. They died. We're not the first. We're not special or chosen. [And part of him hates that thought.]
And the First Forged couldn't--or didn't--protect them. [This is all review for the old-timers, but there are new people here, and besides, it's a dot he's trying to connect up.]
Wing and I and the others found a cave where some of them had lived. They died. All of them. But they're trapped here, as ghosts. [Another dot.]
And worse--we went back, and their bodies were...reanimated. Like zombies. They attacked us. They were trying to protect something in the cave.
[He frowns, because he really doesn't like public speaking, especially this next part.]
A lot of people disappeared recently. Like whatever it is--the call, Unicron, whatever--like it's gaining strength, picking up steam. We need to do something. Because I don't know about you, but, well, for a lot of reasons, I don't want to have to suddenly find myself fighting a zombie Ultra Magnus.
[Or Vandal. No, he can't even go there in his head. He's connecting dots and it is a really unpleasant picture.]

[Sorry, Drift, he's glad you made it out alright and all. But robot zombies. Once that question's out of the way, he gets a little more genuinely curious.]
So there were people here before... you? [He can't say 'us', as he hasn't been here that long. But he's making a bit of a reach for this guy having been here longer.]
[Video]
[But. Yeah, basically.]
At least this one group, for sure. Overclock and his friends split off from the others, apparently, to live out in their own in the caves.
...Overclock was the ghost we saw in the library.
[Drift: the worst at telling stories coherently.]
[Video]
And no ideas what happened to 'em. This place is freaky. But what exactly d'you think we should do about it?
[Video]
[Sorry, he has to admit that. Mostly because of Captain Marvelous and Perceptor improvising a flamethrower. It was pretty badaft, not gonna lie.]
We need a way to get real answers from the First Forged. Alpha Trion shut me down when I was asking about them. Megatronus, too.
[Video]
Sorry t' say, I don't have much for ideas here -- pretty new to this place'n all.
[Video]
[He got turned into a human, for frag's sake.]

[Understatement of the century.]
Figure it won't take much getting used to.
[Video]
[Just asking. ]
If you need any, er, help, let me know.

[...Immature snicker.]
Thanks, uh... who are you, anyway?
