[Oh, look!]

[Ambulon sounds a little... tired. Actually, very tired. But it's not really a physical exhaustion. Either way, he keeps his tone level if a bit curt and hollow.]

I'll be scarce around the clinics the next few days. Sorry for my inconvenient absence.

[LOCKED TO THE POLICE FORCE/LAW COMMITTEE (yes, even Tarn can see this)]

I do not remember how I died, but I do remember the hours leading up to it. Tarn is the one responsible. Or am I going to have to provide some sort of evidence? You may not have seen him in the... recording. But he was there.

If you need any sort of statement or report, I can give you that. Just... give me a little time. [He's got to scrape the remains of Splat off the floor--thanks, Tarn.]

Needless to say, reconsider keeping him on your committee.

[LOCKED TO SOLUS]

It seems I've lost my upgrades, but... I still owe you a favor.

[LOCKED TO NEXUS]

I'm not sure if this is allowed, but may I get another room?

... I've no intention of requesting you to confirm it. But if sound is the primary weapon...

Perhaps we can use that to our advantage. There are, of course, ways to dampen, if not completely extinguish the presence of sound waves.

It's a start, I suppose.

[And thus Perceptor attempts to be consoling.]

Of course not.

And I've discussed this with Blurr before. If I recall, he wanted to use some sort of stasis device. A containment field of some sort. Though a direct attack to disable his vocalizer may be the best option.

Yeah. It's... something.

[He appreciates it!]

[sciencetank]

A containment field wouldn't necessarily block sound from the interior, though. Not unless it was highly specific. Disabling all his systems, likely from a distance, would likely be the better option.

And then we may be able to remove the offending vocal processor altogether.

Right. But I'm not sure what sort of weapon can be used on Tarn and work. I can imagine the Firstforged could easily disable or even dismantle him - maybe not all of them, but surely someone the likes of Prima or Megatronus... [And God he's sounding a little frustrated here.] If Tarn is with Prima, Prima has to do something, right?

In theory, yes. One would find that to be a logical conclusion. However, experience appears to prove otherwise. They're rather loathe to involve themselves in anything at all.

... I found some mineral deposits, recently. They contain a great amount of energy per ounce. In short, if used correctly, they could be vastly powerful.

[If you see where he's going with this.]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[Oh, you got his attention there.]

Do you think you can... do something with them?

[If YOU see where HE'S going.]

[private]

[sciencetank]

It's entirely plausible.

... Wheeljack does have a habit of leaving a spare grenade in the blast room, when he's finished using it.

[Making weaponry isn't... typically what he prefers to do, but if it's going to help the poor medic out...]
