[It's been a while since Strelok was around, offering advice from living like a hobo in Russia or shooting Starscream in the eye to keep himself alive. And the reason it's been a while is because he went on an adventure without telling anyone! Whoops.

But he's back now, and making a transmission. Video, for once. Once of his hands is bandaged, and... is that a plant that's straining to try to snap a small energon goodie out of his fingers? He chuckles lightly.]

Ahh, I bet you missed these more than me, yes?

[He tosses the goodie to the plant, which catches it in its rather huge venus flytrap mouth. He looks to the camera after that.]

Well, I am back from the Badlands now. It was, perhaps, not so bad as it could have been, at least for me. I will be restocking my supplies later though, and if any of the humans need medical attention I can help.

[Look who else just dragged herself back from the Badlands. Yep, it's Rose. She's bruised, cut up, bloody, and all together tired, but hey she's still in one piece and can stand on her own. To her, that's a pretty good outcome. Not the best, but still fairly good.

[By the background, you can tell that she's back in Haven, but not that far from the borders.]

Well, that journey was interesting to say the least. I am sure others have already informed you what we found there, so I will not bore by repeating them. Some of the things I did learn were more personal and I have yet to determine if it is good or bad.

[She sighs some. At this point she just wants to take a bath and crawl into bed, rather than look through the Link to what has been going on since the group left.]

Dare I ask what I missed while away?
