I'm sorry for lying to everyone. I'm sure everyone is aware I was by now. It was stupid of me.

I have a lot of reasons for doing what I did, none of them important.

Until further notice I'll be found either at Vector's temple or Pharma's lab at Leige's. Please ping me if you need me.







I trust you, Drift. I said I would talk to you when I knew what I wanted to talk about.

Tell me exactly what you remember about Delphi. Everything that happened.

Have you seen Pharma acting strangely at all in the last few months?

[ /Ambulon ]


I... haven't heard from you in a few days. Are you alright?

[ He really has to think about this one. ]



I'm going to need some time to think about things.

I don't see how a bot's gonna know beforehand which lie will hurt someone. Besides, hurting others is just part of life. Don't need lying to do that. And, sometimes lying does turn out to be the best strategy. You know? When you say "Those dents don't even show", or, "I'm on your side."

I don't really want to hurt anyone though! Not unless I absolutely have to.

And I-- [ Well, sometimes a little fib is fine but. He felt so guilty lying to Wing before. ] Sometimes.

You kinda have a point. No use harming potential allies, they'll just be less useful when you really need them. Though, some bots seem to do their best when beat within a nanometer of their life.

[But enough about Starscream!]

So, it's not like lying is bad. And you said you had reasons, at the time. No reason to apologize to everyone or question your intelligence. [She's questioning it, of course.] At most you admit to a flawed strategy due to- bad intel. You say "won't happen again".

I-- That's not the point I was trying to make. People don't have to be useful to me for me to like them. I'm a medic. Helping people is what I do.

It's very unlikely to happen again. [ Flawed strategy though. Hah. ] I mean it was just... an embarrassing situation.

I guess you can keep some people around, because you like them, but they might not be the best allies. Medics do have to be able to tend to injuries and diseases. [She's thinking medics don't necessarily like to help others, but it's probably different for Autobots.]

But you're an Autobot, right? So, teamwork is just something you do. There's assisting?

So, your friends don't need apologies, because they'll want to do that thing- [They'd say good lies, like, "There's nothing for you to be embarrassed about". They'll assist each other in saving face, like when a Decepticon lets a superior take credit for their idea. But pointing out the white lies she suspects might not be for the best.]

Comfort you.
