[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.]

Where?
[video]
The caves. Near the badlands.

Y E A H]
Can you be more specific?
[video]
[He's always a little nervous around Vector, that whole 'son you done fragged up killing Prism' disappointed dad lecture kind of stuck with him, so instead of answering, he sheepishly just forwards the coordinates.]
[video]
Thank you.
[beat, and then he locks the hell out of this.]
Couldn't. Not 'didn't'.
[video/locked]
Why not? Because they went too far away?
[He's hoping that's it, almost. Even though that meant that any of them that ventured that far was also in danger.]
[video/locked/UNHACKABLE]
[he hesitates to continue, but because he /knows/ Drift will ask;]
I would need more information of what happened, to determine anything further. It may be possible for me to Chronoshift and observe, if I can find its specific continuum location.
[video/locked/UNHACKABLE]
[That's it? Oh that's a good bet to place, Vector.]
I could send you the contents of the datapad we found. I'm not sure you could use that, though.
[The datapad itself is back where it belongs, and he's still hoping to hear the ghostfestation has been allayed.]
[video/locked/UNHACKABLE]
Is there any sort of dating schematic on it...?
[video/locked/UNHACKABLE]
...no. But Alpha Trion might know. He said he knew Overclock.
[video/locked/UNHACKABLE]
I will speak with him. Together, we may be able to learn something of use.
[video/locked/UNHACKABLE]
We tried to learn, Wing and I. We got stonewalled.
[By an emo Alpha Trion and a, well...Megatronus.]
[video/locked/UNHACKABLE]
guess who also doesn't take no for an answer sometimes][video/locked/UNHACKABLE]
[You with the whole freaky timeyspacey powers and all.]
We tried our best.
[He's only nettled because of Wing. They did try, after all.]
[video/locked/UNHACKABLE]
[video/locked/UNHACKABLE]
[
who are you and what have you done with Vector?]We, uh, we started a ghost invasion and now there are zombies.
[That doesn't sound like 'done well'. Welcome to his slightly guilty conscience.]
[video/locked/UNHACKABLE]
...there's something else. [something more than meets the eye, perhaps?]
[video/locked/UNHACKABLE]
....what else?
[video/locked/UNHACKABLE]
[video/locked/UNHACKABLE]
[He tilts his head: Vector could just order it, after all.] I'll let Wing know.
[video/locked/UNHACKABLE]
[he could. but with how Drift seems to react to his authority, period- asking seems like it'd get a better response.
and it seems like it has.]
