[There's a looong moment of silence between the transmission's start and Knock Out actually beginning to speak. And when he finally does, his voice is very even.]

Has... anyone seen Breakdown lately? Or heard from him, perhaps? Big blue and silver mech, grounder like me, prominent chassis... He has a striking red-orange face and a patch over one optic.

[And he's missing. KO doesn't like that. He also doesn't like that he woke up in the middle of nowhere outside of the Haven, alone, and missing time, but he's not exactly about to go sharing that publicly. In fact, he doesn't sound nearly as agitated as he actually is right now, because that's something else he's trying not to be public about.]

Long time ago. [Somebot had to chase down Lord Megatron after all.] I'll happily compare notes with you later if you like.

[Well, not happily really, but still.]

Absolutely agree with you there. Just not worth the trip and the fall without some company. Mm, but I'll see if I can't shake out some high grade from this place if I can't bring back good news.

Later, then.

Maybe over that high-grade, whether we find him or not. [KO can tell already he's going to need a drink or three no matter how this turns out.]

[audio]

[namesnotprowl]

In that case I'll dig up as much as I can. Sounds like it's a date, then.

[The moping and lamenting kind of date in fact, not that they know it yet. Still, high grade shall be had, no matter who Barricade has to thieve it from!]

[audio]

[automobile_enthusiast]

Just let me know when and where, and I'll be there.

[You, Barricade, have just scored Points. Congratulations!]

[audio]

[namesnotprowl]

Will do.

Darlin'~

[Awh yeah, first points scored with a Knock Out. Sweet sweet victory!]

[audio]

[automobile_enthusiast]

[And you lost those points again. But KO's not the type to harp on it, he's just going to disconnect with a scoff.]

[audio]

[namesnotprowl]

[Hey, he did warn you.

And really, he's delighted with the disconnect. It's been so long since people hung up on him on a network.]
