[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.]

[Aw, that's all in the past. Especially since he's up for trial. ....Someday.]

[You cannot be much deader than having a ghost, Pharma.]
Re: [Video]
Optics can glitch and feeble processors tend to come up with irrational explanations for what transpired. That's all.

[Wow, concrete thinking, you are, Pharma. ]
Why would I suddenly see a mech I've never seen run over to protect something?
And the zombies were pretty real. I can show you the scratches.
Re: [Video]
What I'm saying is, whatever you thought you saw, Drift, probably has a better explanation then zombies or ghosts.

[The whole ghost-demic that had driven him back to the cave, for one thing.]
Like what?
