[The feed flickers to life and Ratchet peers into the communicator he has, tinkering with it. At least it's working... somewhat. He looks like he has woken up in the temple of Solian Temple.]

Blasted thing. My own communications aren’t working. It must be scattered or something. [The video flickers and Ratchet smacks it a few more times, to make it focus again, grumbling under his breath as he looks around.]

Ultra Magnus, Bumble Bee, if anyone can hear this, I require assistance. I don’t know if you can triangulate my transmission and find my exact location or not, but-- Oh, what am I saying?

[He rubs at his face, his mind raking for ideas.]

That bot said this is Cybertron but... it's not one I'm familiar with. [He pauses with a heavy sigh passing through his vents.]

For all I know, I could be just talking to myself with this thing.

Scrap.

[Wait a minute.

Ratchet squints at the feed. But he decides not to bring it up.]

I'm alright for now just... gathering my barings.

And no, I do not have any memory of this place. I've gathered that I've been here... twice before.

Good, good. It's always nice to know that people are being taken care of here.

Hmm... I have a theory on this. I'm not sure it's one that would interest you yet, but you are, in a way, another point of data to the trend I've noticed.

[Even though he is taking about points of data and trends, there is something in the way he talks, and especially that he keeps his focus on Ratchet, that shows he isn't discounting the other mech as a person, but only adding the notice of the trend.]

Re: [video] HOLY CRAP I AM SO SORRY I THOUGHT I REPLIED TO THIS

A data trend?

[This feeling he has, it's not going away but he tries to snuff it out. Why did this bot seem so familiar?]

What trend would that be?
