So, I. I don't know how many people knew him, but I figured I might as well say something.

Shockwave - the big one - and his Driller have been missing. Sometimes they'd just go off on their own but usually not for this long. And I've looked everywhere. So I'm gonna call it.

They're. Gone.

[He pauses for a long moment before speaking again.]

I'll still be at Megatronus's temple to look after their things, until Megatronus makes me leave.

Not kids, no. But the humans and other organics could definitely be a help. And it'd like... foster equality and friendship and stuff.

[Human kids being around cement mixers and jackhammers seems like the worst idea, really.

He shivers a little at the mention of Starscream, plating audibly rattling.]

Don't remind me. But maybe we can make things different, now. I can't just... let status quo continue for them, with him.

Yeah. Maybe there's a reason the ones that came back did, though? They were brought back for a specific purpose.

Yeah, exactly. We're already pretty faction neutral, what with being two bots and two cons. We oughtta get organics involved too, just so they don't feel left out.

[Yeah, he agrees with that.]

Think if anybody can, Fracas. It's you. You're a fellow Vehicon, they'd listen to you more than anybody.

I dunno. Might be, though. But I ain't sure what. Maybe just the more redeemable ones?

Funny, how we're more faction neutral than the Police Force and the Law Committee, huh? And it just sorta happened, too. But we should definitely get the humans involved. They're important here, too.

[Fracas laughs once, sheepish.]

I'd hope they'd listen to me, anyway. They'll probably think I'm crazy first, with the paint change and the... challenging Starscream and everything.

Beats me. But there has to be a reason they're here. That we're all here. It can't just be some stupid cosmic accident.

Yeah no kiddin'. Funny how it happened, and we didn't even plan on it. Heh. They oughtta take a lesson from us.

[He's only joking of course.]

Yeah, I can see it takin' some convincing, but I'm sure they're as fed up of it as you are.

I'm hopin' we find out sooner or later.

They really ought to, yeah. But we ought to get some non-cybertronians on the team too, first. Just to be sure.

[Yeah, schooling the other organizations would be a little mean.]

I know that the ones that are left probably are. I could only hope they're willing to change things, though. It's. Not easy.

Yeah. Maybe we will.

Yeah, exactly. Right now we might be givin' off the wrong impression. But we do have to be a little picky. I mean construction ain't for everybody.

[It's not meant to be an easy job, what with all the heavy lifting.]

Oh right, you got some tough officiers to go through too. But if they all had better weapons, you out number them. [Or at least he thinks you do.]

It's not. But if someone wants to try... we should at least give them a shot. If they can't cut it they should be the ones to figure it out instead of just being told 'no'.

[Aside from the kids. Kids are a definite no.]

We do. Even though we lost so many people to the Terrorcons. We just... don't have the training. Or the weapons, like you said. [That's the one troublesome spot.]

Point Just hope none blame us if they get injured.

[Cause that would suck.]

Yeah, that was probably on purpose. So you'd be easy to take down if you revolted or somethin'. [Which is cruel.] Cause if your teachin' from Shockwave shows anything, it's that you can learn.

Considering we'll probably be the ones taking them to the medbay, I'd really hope they didn't blame us.

[That would totally suck.]

It probably was, honestly. Not that they needed to, we're all scared of them... heh. Of course we can learn. I had to learn all that stuff about the ship from scratch. And how to fight, here.

Heh, true. It'll be interesting.

[It really would!]

And you've gotten over that fear while here. [He's seen convos with Starscream man, that was impressive.] Think you could teach any others that show here?

It should be. But we should also get some more help out of it, too.

Well. I have a little. Shockwave and Megatron still scare me. And Soundwave, too. [Though Soundwave scaring people probably goes without saying, really.] I hope I could. I'd. Probably need help. I couldn't have made it this far without a lot of the people I know here. Including you.

I look forward to more help. Done pretty good just the three of us, imagine how much we can get done with more guys.

Well, yeah. I can see where that fear comes from for ya. [Not that Bulk would admit he feared them any. Hell, he's taken on Megatron before. But now you're making him embarrassed Fracas. He waves a hand.]

Hey, I didn't really do that much. Just started workin' with ya.

We could get it done easy with even more of us. Hey, maybe we should put up recruitment posters or something? You know, like those posters Starscream made for his election for whatever only... not like those at all.

[Even if it can't be seen, he looks pointedly at his Link with a little smile.]

And that talk we had when I was freaking out about Starscream. That helped too you know.

You've. Been a really good friend.

Huh, I remember those posters. Yeah, those could be worth a shot too. Put them up in the temples, and the hub. [Though not as annoyingly an amount as Starscream did.'

The word make him smile on his end, and could probably be heard in his words.]

It's what friends do, we help each other.

But...thanks Fracas. You have to.

Yeah. Not as many as he put up, but enough to get noticed by people that might be interested, right? We'll have to design and print them somehow, of course.

[Fracas laughs a little, the sound short but genuine. He never thought that an Autobot would call him a friend. Heck, he never expected to have friends at all again.]

I try. It. It'd been a long time since I had friends so I'm a little rusty at it.

Yeah, put them in places people would easily be able to see them. [It makes sense to him.] Well, Starscream managed to print his some how.

[Yeah, he never imagined he'd be friends witha con, specially from his world.]

What, not even friends with other Vehicons?

Definitely. The temples and the hub, probably. Maybe the games caldera too? [All the public places that have surfaces for posters, anyway.] True. I'd ask him how he did it, but I'm not sure what the information would cost.

No. Not for a while there, anyway. I didn't... want to get friendly with anyone when they were probably going to get killed on field duty. Or get killed by an officer. It's been different at home, after I had that. That coma.

[He knows other Vehicons now. And it's great.]

Yeah, temples, hub, caldera. Maybe police headquarters too, and even that spa building we did. [They built it for her, surely Rarity would allow them to advertise on it.]

Yeah, true. That makes sense. Hard to want to be friends with somebody who could be gone later. [He can sympathize, it was kind of like that in the Wreckers. Though they still managed to become pretty close.]

Oh? What changed?

Definitely. Rarity shouldn't mind if we put a couple up at her spa. As long as it's a really nice-looking poster, anyway.

Yeah. After I lost everyone I was made with, it. Seemed kind of pointless, you know? [When everyone you were previously close to was dead it seemed like an effort in futility to try again.]

I uhm. I met someone. A flier that works in communications. He's. He's really nice.

Yeah, definitely have to talk to her about it.

Yeah, I kinda know that feeling here. Not so much people dyin', but people disappearing. [And so many were ones he was close to. It's like some kind of cruel trick that Unicron is playing.]

Met somebody nice, huh? What's his name?

Yeah. Losing people you know is... hard. Especially around here, where they just walk away and you never see them again. [He doesn't know how other people have done it; he's lost a lot fewer here than anywhere else.]

Yeah. His name is Kanon. He's really great.

Yeah...after a millennia of war, and all the bots lost, you'd think we'd be used to it. But something about them disappearin' here just makes it feel different. [They don't really get any kind of closure, no last words, no saying goodbye.]

Heh, good to hear that you had somebody back home. Are ya hopin' he shows up here at some point? Or hopin' to go back home to him?

I think it's the not knowing what happened. Just... one day they're here and the next they. Aren't. And you never know where they went, or why. [It's the not even getting to say something to them while knowing it might be the last time you see them.]

Either-or. This place can be pretty weird for new people, but I think he might like it. But if he doesn't show up here... well, then I have a reason to go home and try to change things. For all the Vehicons.

Yeah, that's the worst part. No word from them, no chance to stop them from leaving. [Or even them leaving within hours.] Makes ya wonder why all of us don't disappear too. What makes us different. [Are the Forged playing favorites or something?]

Yeah, but hey. Helps to have somebody ya know her, right? I'm sure he'd be glad for your experience in how to deal with stuff here. But heh, plenty of reason to, yeah.

I don't know. But I... before the... the Glyphless thing... I think I almost went there myself. I didn't even realize I was doing it. [Which, now that he thinks about it, kind of freaks him out.]

Having someone here does help. Well. Depending on the person. I knew of most of Team Prime before I got here, after all, and. You know.
