((ooc: aka - HEY I didn't beat the crap out of him this time to explain a hiatus!  8D...........orz))


[Locked to IDW Megatron]

Lord Megatron, I've returned from the scouting mission and am ready to make my report.  Do you wish to see me, sir, or should I go straight to Shockwave?

[Locked to Alpha Trion - yeah, pretty much same thing, but they asked him separately, so...]

Alpha Trion, sir, I'm back from the scouting mission and ready to make my report.  When you have a moment.

[Locked to Four]

Hey, little one.  I'm back.  I'm sorry . . . I meant to leave a note, but then there wasn't time.

[Locked to Skywarp]

Warp . . . you're not still sitting in that damned throne, are you?

[That's TC-speak for "hey, bro, where are you?"  Because he really should have told his wingmate he was going to be out of town too.  Oy.]

[And . . . okay, now that those are taken care of...]

[Pinging the police frequency, though the video itself is public]

Apologies for my absence.  I was asked to undertake a scouting mission.  I've returned and am ready for duty.  Can someone apprise me of the current situation?  [Namely Tarn . . . but he'll take anything at this point . . . ]

[Oh . . . no, wait . . . one more order of business, something that bothered him the whole time he was out]

[Locked to Blurr]

Hey.  Are you-  [conscious? alive? . . . you better be "back" by now, you glitch!] . . . how are you doing?  [You'd also better answer him, fraggit...he's been worried!]

[He'll...yeah, he'll just leave it at that.]
