[It's been long enough that Drift is finally getting actually worried. Especially after Wing had disappeared similarly. He and the jet had looked, as much as they could, checking the room in Vector's, and he's skimmed the rough tracks that passed as roads, looking for the distinctive treads and...nothing.]
[There's a thing called respecting someone's privacy and then there's a point where that just doesn't work anymore.]
Anyone seen Perceptor?
Or Tarn, for that matter?
[Because he's putting two and two together and getting something very, very ugly.]

[permavideo]
I hope we hear from him soon. It's been too long without word...
[permavideo]
[permavideo]
[Hopeful mech is hopeful.]
[permavideo]
[He knows he doesn't need to tell Wing that.]
I don't like it, Wing.
no subject
[He knows all too well yes. Perceptor should also know better as well, which is what concerns Wing.]
Hopefully we'll hear from someone who's seen him. Maybe coming or going?
If not, we can do another sweep around Haven, maybe check Liege's? And then...the wastelands I suppose?
[video]
How does a whole bloody city disappear?
[O-Oh, Jetfire.]
[video] oh jetfire!!!
[Come to think of it, Drift's not even sure he's even from Tarn.]
[video] :3c
Is this something people do these days? Name yerselves after cities? Some sort o' fad? Or have we really gotten that uncreative?
[video]
[Because it's confusing.]
They're bad mechs. [Just, you know, FYI.]
[video]
[ALL YOU KIDS THESE DAYS WITH YOUR DIFFERENT FACTIONS AND YOUR CRAZY SUB-GROUPS AND YOUR HULA HOOPS]
[video/locked]
[pause]
I can imagine you may possibly be forming a search party of perhaps four or five people to look for Perceptor if you receive no word within the next day or two, am I right?
[Note how he says a group. And four or five people. Suggesting not going alone. And how he doesn't bring up looking for Tarn. But--]
If it comes to that, I'd like to join you.
[video/locked]
[Not at Vector's, not at his own First Forged's....things are starting to look bad.]
Uh.
[Actually he was thinking more 'party of one' and 'ASAP' but he sees what you did there. ]
Right. Sure. It'd be good to have a medic along. Just in case.
[video/locked]
Exactly. If Perceptor's wounded, I can treat him right on the spot.
[And, you know... he kind of wants to get out and drive and drive and drive and make sure YOU don't do anything dumb and just maybe sort of be kind of social okay]
Right. Then that makes two. We should get two more people, at least. I'm sure Wing will come along, assuming he's not still rummaging around for stasis cuffs.
[video/locked]
That's a good point.
[Common sense: Ambulon will also bring common sense on this road trip.]
Wing, definitely.
[Though he doesn't know if he wants to talk about the cuffs.] You have anyone who might want to come along?
[video/locked]
I'm not sure. Someone else who has braved the Badlands and knows their way around.
[pause]
What about Blurr?
[video/locked]
[SHAZAM.]
Blurr could work. He seems like he could use a break from things.
[Though this is hardly a vacation.]
[video/locked]
[NO YOU SHAZAM]
Good. If he can't do it, I'm sure you'll find someone who will. We're not short reckless people.
[coughWheeljackcough]
[video]
[video]
[He is confused.]
I want to know if he killed a friend of mine.
[video]
I'm his partner! His partner!
An'... What if he did? Whatcha gonna do about it?
[video]
[He frowns.] Right now, I just want to know where Perceptor's body is, if that's the case.
[Later? Well, he can probably guess. ]
[video]
An'... maybe. I could ask. If ya beg.
[video]
[Drift spots a flaw in your logic, Frumble.]
I think if Tarn did something, he wouldn't be able to resist bragging about it.
[Because Tarn's ego is roughly the size of his eponymous city.]
[video]
[HUFF] Ya won't be sayin' that when he suddenly shows up in yer room one day.
video;
[Don't ask Barricade why he knows.
They may have had tea together at some point.]Guessing y'mean the Perceptor with the thing f'r sniping? Haven't seen him since the games. [Of course, he may have taken a several-day nap immediately after that...]
video;
[Not implying anything, but it never hurts to ask.]
Yes, the one with the, uh, the thing on his optic. I haven't seen him since then either.
[Not helping him not worry, btw.]
video;
[Wish he could help.]
We sent out trackers or anything to look for him? If nothing else there oughta be a trail to follow to where ever he's gotten to.
[Even if that trail ends in the Badlands or a grave.]

[And he doesn't like that. At all. Especially considering how their sessions had been going.]
If you're going to look for him, I'd like to come.

Plus, Perceptor is my patient and if there's a chance that something we've been discussing is the cause of this, it would be for the best if I were there to talk to him if need be.
Audio | Private
It's way more dangerous in the badlands.
Audio | Private
But, since I'd much rather find Perceptor than argue with you, I'll take this to Ultra Magnus if I must and have him accompany me to find him.

[Someone's getting angry. Just a little bit.]
It's about finding Perceptor and making sure that he's okay.
Audio | Private
Neither are you. You do more good here than out there.
[Unless Perceptor left because of something Drift did. In which case....]
