First, my condolences: I was unable to do much in regards to helping the wounded, given my limited expertise and knowledge of Cybertronian medicine and anatomy. I... hope I can be of some assistance next time. [He scowls and scrubs his face with a hand.] Because there will be a next time, given this Godforsaken place...

Yet, if there is anythin' I can do, you let me know. No hesitations. I'm not afraid to tell you if I can't do somethin' you want or need, but I'm damn willing to try and offer what I can.

But I know some of you who so happen to be relatively human should be seeing me or coming in for a check-up. [Rose? Zer0? HMMMM?]

Also, I wanted to make a couple notes. The timing may not be perfect, but I've been tending to a small garden and have managed to grow a few vegetables. I placed them in the pantry, but they won't last too long, so get 'em while they're still edible.

[Locked to Kay, Ventus, Miko, Cody, Sari, and two certain others]

How you kids doin'? I know it's been tough, but I'm glad you're all okay. Mind comin' around for a check-up soon? Or I can come to you. [It's not really a suggestion, more so, DO IT OKAY.]

I saved a couple bundles of the vegetables I harvested just for you guys. I can bring 'em to you. Got some carrots, squash, and tomatoes. ... Well, wait, tomatoes fruit or vegetable? Hell, whatever, it's food and it's good for you.

... And: Raf? Lyra? If you see this message, please respond. You got me worried, and that ain't good for my three billion ulcers. I've been lookin' around and haven't seen hide nor hair of you. Don't make me set a search party out. I'll do it in a damn heartbeat.

If any of you kids know where they may be, you let me know. I don't care if they told you not to tell, now's not the time for fun and games, ya hear?

[Locked to the police force and law committee]

I never did... apologize. For the losses you took. And this may not mean much, but I'm thankful ya'll did somethin'. That you got the bastards who did this. But as I'm hearin' and seein', people tend to come back alive when they die, so let's pray for a little Resurrection.

[Locked to Wreckers]

It's fair to thank you lot as well. Especially for not involving Miko.

[Locked to IDW Megatron]

Got a... Got a package here.

[He looks... HMM.]

Got your name on it.

It's full of... some interesting stuff. Poetry, recordings, lots of political documents and proposals.

I didn't read or listen to 'em, no worries. But I did read one poem, I ain't gonna lie.

Purple prose is usually frowned upon in the lit society, son.

No, it doesn't. Words can only do so much in way of comforting. But right now, we need to focus on repairing the injured and settling back down. Mourning is the next big step.

I can't do repairs. Where does that leave me?

It doesn't mean you're useless. You're part of the police force, aren't you? Besides, you can help offer support. Even if it's just putting on a strong face. That's what we need right now. Strength.

Yes... I am.

[For what good it did. But... no, it's true. They did accomplish something here.]

Just put on a brave face? That's all?

You do what you can do, and if all you can do is put on a brave face, then ya damn well better do it. Better than nothin', don't you think? I can't do much to help the Cybertronians here. Can't do much to help you. But I'm learnin', and I'm tryin', and as long as I keep going, I've got no complaints.

I know what it's like to feel helpless. It stressful, and it's infuriating, so you figure somethin' out. Even if it's somethin' small. It may seem and feel insignificant, but you're doin' your damn best and that's all that matters.

[He... doesn't know what to say to that. Not in a bad way. But it -- he doesn't know how to name the feeling it gives him.]

I...

I kept a promise to Kay.

That's -- that's something important. Right?

Promises are best when kept, yes, but I'm assumin' it ain't anything life threatening or something I should worry about.

But, bingo. You got it.

I promised her I would come back to her.

So... yes. I see.
