[Audio] [Transmission from: Solian Temple] - Twelfth Offense

[The audio starts up out of the blue, with only a brief pause at the beginning. Even so, every word seems deliberate and carefully chosen.]

Sorry about the timin'a this, but... I've been thinkin' a lot lately. Dangerous habit, I know.

This is the third multidimensional hub I've been in. I've gotten ripped out of dimensions more than I can explain. I've gone backwards in time twice... forwards once. Turned into a human and a cat. Heh, got haiku-powered jet boosters for a while. I rebuilt my own legs from scratch. I've had my processor picked over more times than I'd like. I've lost more friends than I ever wanted to... and made a few more than I've expected. Including a few that were too stubborn to give up on me when they should have. I've seen how how our wars start... and I've seen them end.

And the one ending was enough. Three hubs has been too much, and I'm too old. I know too much that would compromise this Cybertron's chance at having its own future.

I can't stay.

I have a few things to finish up, still, but in a week... I'm leaving. I've heard rumors of a place in the Outlands that could use someone like me, and I've dug out the clues I need to get there.

I'll be contacting a few of you individually; this is what the humans call the Season of Giving, and I have things to give you. Call them parting gifts if you will.

{{Individuals on this list will be getting special presents as listed, though if Barricade is so much as a passing acquaintance of his you can expect a few cubes of high grade left outside your door (or a six-pack of beer if you're human).))

If I was just going to go into the Badlands I might as well tear out my own spark. Wing and Drift left for a reason... and they could use someone with some skill in repair and building.

It's not necessarily the smart thing to do... but it's the right thing. And I'm not leaving without leaving the people here tools to get by with.

Including you.

[Last will and testament? Maybe. But he's certainly not going to walk away and die for it.]

Hey, lots of people like going out in style. Wouldn't be surprised if that's how some people around here would like to go, willingly or not.

[But...] Yeah. I plan on reading through 'em. Thank you for them. They'll be a big help.

Probably. But that just ain't my style. Riding off into the sunset, though. That I can do, since I'm pretty sure massive explosions aren't viable.

I hope they will. I know robot repair isn't exactly a thrilling read, but I've seen more than a few humans repair things that even I couldn't. Just sorry I'm not skilled enough with organics to provide something a little more useful to you specifically.
