Thank you, Blurr. At least it seems the changes I... er, went through did not cause undue damage.

[Even if Starscream had obviously been extremely annoyed that this... alternate possibility hadn't defected and he had. Jetfire, faced with that, was rather relieved he had.]

Unfortunately, yes. [Rubbing his chin, Jetfire drummed his fingers against the workbench and considered the equipment he did have.] If the pillar had merely been buried a short distance into the surface, it would have been far easier to get rid of it.

But as deep as it is, I believe it's imperative we remove it somehow, considering that even with the changes nullified, it still has an effect on us all.

[And there was that energy siphoning as well...]
