[He and his party have been returning for the last few days, a ragged, shaken group who are nevertheless still alive. They are survivors, and Megatron seems to take a sort of pride in that...walking tall and steady despite an obvious limp. A few blades are slung from his back like trophies, and one or two still have alien-looking hands attached at the hilt.]

I must admit concession to whoever told me it was folly to approach the badlands.

[Here he is. Returned. He wishes he could say it was a relief.]

You were right...

...but so was I.

[He tosses a blade down, letting it imbed in the safe soil at his feet.] Their numbers are greater than ours. If they should attack at full strength, I doubt we would last long.

So why do they not attack us yet?

[He smirks, but it's a bitter smirk.] I have a theory.

We may even be able to use it to our advantage.

Those who offered their support are welcome to this information. Those who did not? Well. We're all in this together, aren't we?

[It doesn't mean he's going to tell. Not right away.]

I'll be at the Hub if anyone wants to hear our stories. If there are any medics thinking about attending...you'll be needed.

[The ones who had come along had done amazingly given the lack of facilities and traveling circumstances, and more weren't going to hurt.]

((ooc: ...since it's not gonna be played out. Let me know if I need to modify anything. =D))

[This Megatron has won back at least some of the Seeker's respect, and not out of fear which in itself spoke volumes. Had this been his own Megatron, when he and Ventus had failed to show up when they were supposed to, there would have been the Pit to pay. Thundercracker had been prepared - braced, really - to take the brunt his warlord's wrath, knowing he'd be left injured either way but the human likely dead if he didn't, be that by accident or on purpose. But this mech . . . well, things had gone differently, for which the Seeker was thankful, to say the least.]

[It is with much less bracing than he's felt in quite some time that Thundercracker responds to the warlord's post.]

Lord Megatron, I would be interested in hearing your theories. I've wondered as much myself.

I'll be there soon, and I'm no medic, but I can help with some of the more basic field repairs if necessary.

Good. The more processing power we put on this, the faster we'll have it dealt with.

[So they could get on to more important matters...like getting home.]

Have your systems been functioning normally since we returned?

Normally enough, sir. I'll have a medic check my systems once the worst slag is seen too. Until then, I'm still functional enough to serve.

I would like you to get what readings you did take to Shockwave as soon as possible.

It doesn't seem as if an attack is imminent, however. We'll have some time.

[He slowly smirks.]

All in all, I'd consider this mission a success. No one died.

((ooc: Hitting some of the old stuff while I wait. Feel free to ignore. =3;;;))

Yes, sir. I'll contact him next.

[He nods.]

I agree. We didn't lose anyone, and we managed to learn quite a bit. If . . . roundaboutly, in some cases.

[Video] Making a bit of an assumption with how the reporting went once they met back up...

[Video] This works out for me!
