[The feed that opens is staticky, coming as it is from the outer edges of the network's range, and bears a face that should be familiar to many. Upon closer inspection though, one might notice this Wing is a little rougher around the edges compared to recent newer arrivals. His glyph too, is a brilliant Vectorian gold edged with a strong violet glow. A touch of concern marks Wing's face as he looks right and left before speaking into the feed. The jet is clearly wary of his surroundings.]

Haveners! It's been quite a long time. I wish happier news brought me to this, but alas, the recent disruption of the Lamdba affects us all.

[Behind Wing, over his shoulder, there's a stealthy, disturbingly flesh colored shape slithering down the slope on all fours.]

We hope--

[There's a flash of steel and white and red behind the jet: Drift doing what he does best, which is, apparently, slicing things into sushi, the two--the whatever-it-is and Drift--disappearing offscreen in a grunting flail.]

[The sound of combat rings out off screen, grabbing Wing's attention. The feed is jostled as he almost ends it--clearly Wing is tempted to join the fray--but he seems to change his mind at the last moment.]

Please. Please be wary if you leave the Haven. The wastelands is strewn with foreign debris and creatures stranger than ever roam the land!

[Yeah, and on that note... Drift appears--victorious, of course--holding what appears to be a severed head--actually two, one a smaller, almost vestigial one like a goiter from the neck of the main one--into the camera's range. ]

Anyone else running into these , for example?

[Stay classy, Drift.]

((OOC: Action and network both fine! Responses will be from either--if you have a preference, let us know! ))

One could hope. [And even if not, with two Wings, certainly it could be smoothed over readily enough? He has had his share of arguments with Drift, some of them pretty intense, spark wrentching even, but it only ever served to make them stronger.]

That's good to hear. [They were his new flock. With no more Crystal City, he'd taken to bonding with new people, watching over and caring for them. It's what made losing people to the Badlands so very hard. And leaving, even harder.] I'll have to seek them all out when I return to Haven proper. After making sure all is safe enough of course. How are things for you there?

[knight_light]

[And that was the difference in how long the other Wing and Drift had known each other. These two haven't had any chances to get into arguments. It would happen, eventually, but hadn't yet.]

You certainly should.

Things have been well for me. I've only been here a very short time, but I've gotten settled in, have joined the build crew, and volunteered to help the local law enforcement when half the force disappeared within a few day of each other. [That was a sad time. He didn't know those who'd left, but others did, and it made his spark ache to see people so upset.]

[winged_knight]

Half the force! [There's plenty there of note, but that part strikes him cold.] McCrane? Blurr? Thundercracker?

[He worked so closely with all of them while he was on the Law Committee. He knows people here get lost, it's part of the way this place works, but it never stops hurting. And in truth, he'd rather consider himself dead than stop feeling the acrid pang of grief at the loss of a friend.]

[knight_light]

[Sad nod.] Thundercracker and Blurr are here. If McCrane is I've not yet met him.

Phone tagging forgive the default icon I'm lazy

[winged_knight]

He's one of the Brave Police. He led the force, with Blurr and Ultra Magnus.

[Wing grows somber for a moment.]

He was the first person I met when here. After waking up in the Junk Pile.
