[Voice] -> [Video]

[thxforthememories]

[Well, this is a new voice. Maybe not for some. But for the most part, this is the kind of voice you'd expect to be all suave and smooth. Like it should be accompanied by saxophone music, or sounding entirely too pleased with itself.]

[Instead? It just sounds downright frantic.]

What is this--! It wasn't like this a moment ago.

[As if in response to his demand, the feed abruptly switches to video. That sure is a new face, standing there on top of a temple roof. He's not a Cybertronian, that's obvious. He's also very obviously distraught.]

[Though... his design is oddly similar to someone else usually present in the Haven. In fact, they look a lot alike.]

Who did this! Which one of you! Answer me!

[The more he talks, the more agitated he seems to become. Like every word is putting him more and more on edge.]

Someone here has to know. Where is he!

[And now it's a >__> face.]

I'm afraid I don't follow.

[video]

[thxforthememories]

[He shakes his head, jerkily.]

It's me. It's... I'm Kagerou.

[video]

[glacius_passio]

[O__O]

Kagerou? What-who's body is that?

[video]

[thxforthememories]

[Those things over her head are weirdly distracting.]

Shadowmaru--! My... [He doesn't even have words for it right now.] A friend.

I don't know how it happened.

[video]

[glacius_passio]

[Good, maybe then he'll stop freaking out.

:(]

Oh, so that's what you meant. He wasn't here before, right? So whoever did this couldn't have done anything to someone who wasn't even on this planet.

[video]

[thxforthememories]

[... yeah, no. That's not happening.]

He wasn't. He... He must have arrived. And... someone swapped our AI. That has to be what happened.

[No, he's not aware of how insane that sounds. He's too busy clinging to the vain and desperate hope the one he cares for most in the world is actually... here.]

[video]

[glacius_passio]

But why would anyone have a reason to do that? You don't exactly have enemies here, right?

[video]

[thxforthememories]

No, I... I don't--

[video]

[thxforthememories]

[Wait a second.]

[video]

[thxforthememories]

...

There may be someone.

[video]

[glacius_passio]

Do they have the capability to do this?

[video]

[thxforthememories]

I don't... know their full capabilities.

So it's possible.

[video]

[glacius_passio]

[:\]

So whose body is that, if you don't mind me asking?

[video]

[thxforthememories]

... The one they built after me. The one based on my design.

A friend.

[video]

[glacius_passio]

Oh. Oh!

Oh my. That's terrible.

[Kagerou just does not get any breaks. :(]

[video]

[thxforthememories]

That's why I need to find him.

Now.
