Whatever the Pit that was the past few weeks - whoever that was - that wasn't me.  That is all.

[The video shows a very whole, very un-beaten-to-crap Seeker, whose wings PERFECTLY MATCH THANK YOU VERY MUCH.]


[LOCKED to Blurr]

Blurr . . . sorry about the confusion.  Are you all right?  [He won't outright address it, but he remembers the "friend" comment - it means more to him than he can say]


[LOCKED to McCrane]

McCrane . . . thanks.  For your assistance.  Sorry about the confusion.  I'm ready to return to active duty.  [Unspoken: "if you'll still have me"]


[LOCKED to Skywarp]

Warp, where are you?  [LUCY, I'M HOOOOOOOME!]

As far as I am aware. Of course . . . all considering, I may be the LAST one who can tell that for sure.

. . . you okay?

[He half-remembers you being . . . kinda frazzled.]

I am improving now that this situation is resolved.

Attacks, we can defend against.

Changes like these...

[He shakes his head.]

Will you be alright?

. . . I am a Decepticon.

[The words come out a low growl - of anger, of hurt, of insult, it's hard to say. Even Thundercracker isn't sure. He just knows the words make him feel powerful and capable again.]

I've survived far worse. I will overcome this too.

[THAT part arguably may or may not be him convincing himself as much as McCrane.]

I believe it.

[Given that the 'far worse' had been happening only a few days ago, it's hard not to.]

Is...

Is there anything that I can do to help you, Thundercracker?

[The offer . . . shouldn't surprise him, part of him knows that, but . . . it still does.]

I . . . no, but thank you, McCrane.

[He won't say it, but it's probably still obvious – it means a lot to him, just the other mech asking.]

Just to double-check, though . . . I am still on the police force?

[He can't rationally think why not, but he still needs to hear it. As silly as it might sound, it's as important to him – having a place to belong, people to stand with, and a purpose to fulfill – as joining the Decepticons was once upon a very long time ago.]
