AUDIO; location - Vector Prime's Temple

[thehardway]

I was debriefed on the situation at hand. I will say this: temporal displacement is specifically against all laws known to me. However, since this was ... an accident and not due in part to any present individuals that I know of, it seems that this is an issue I'll have to let go of.

That aside, I do have other pressing matters at hand.

I am Ultra Magnus, second in command of the Lost Light and agent of the Tyrest Accord. Rodimus, if you are present, respond.

Any other members of the Lost Light should report to me immediately.

If there's anyone else who feels they need to give me additional information, I will accept.

Ultra Magnus, out.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Let me guess. You're the fun police.

Audio

[thehardway]

No. I enforce the law.

[Welcome to where fun gets sucked into a void.]

[Voice]

[warborn]

...hn. Whole ship'll be here before you know it.

[Voice]

[thehardway]

Maximus.

...I expect some details. If you are of mind to give them.

[Voice/Audio]

[dontasktrix]

[Replying mainly because 'Ultra Magnus' and 'Tyrest Accord' mean something where she comes from; whether they mean the same elsewhere, she's not sure. After talking to Rung, 'Lost Light' could be significant as well. She attempts a pleasant tone, but she's really not as good at it as Starscream or Sunstorm.]

If you are Second-in-Command, Magnus, who is your superior?

[Voice/Audio]

[thehardway]

Who is requesting that information, is what I would wonder.

[voice]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

You forgot the 'duly appointed'.

You must be having an off day.

[SNERK.]

[voice]

[thehardway]

Whirl. And what sort of chaos have you caused in my absence?

[Voice]

[vandalization]

Oh my god am I playing Lost Light bingo here?

Hi there.

[Voice]

[thehardway]

Hm. Your designation? I don't recognize your vocals.

[Video]

[ichooseboth]

...Hello Magnus.

I'm afraid no rules or laws can properly prepare anyone for this place or the situation that brought us here. Sorry about that.

[He shrugs, chuckling softly. It's good to see a familiar face. Even one as stuffy as Magnus'.]

[Video]

[thehardway]

Optimus.

I wasn't expecting to see you for... a long time. But it's. [A relief.] Good that you are here.

[ex_dishonestly997]

Never thought I'd be happy to hear that voice.

Here's a thought. What if your ship was the reason we're all stuck in this alternate dimension? Because I'm seeing a lot of your crew and hardly anyone from Iacon...

[thehardway]

Starscream.

An interesting accusation from a Decepticon. How am I to know none of your scientists haven't been trying something in my absence from Cybertron?

video;

[thxforthememories]

... Are you an officer?

[BECAUSE YOU SEEM FOND OF THE LAW]

video;

[thehardway]

Something like that.

Who are you?

[Video]

[copperkitty]

[Well okay. Ultra Magnus. Yeah, Cheetor can deal with this.]

So you're really Ultra Magnus...?

...

What would you do if you couldn't let it go, uh, sir?

Arrest the Lambda?

[Video]

[thehardway]

Yes.

I would if such a thing was possible, but that's completely senseless.

Who are you?

[Video]

[invisiblepinkboat]

[For a moment, she's just disregarded his slightly odd (to her) reaction regarding the situation at hand; the name was right, the voice was right so maybe...]

[But no. The rest confirms its not the one she knows, so enjoy that hopeful expression going to a grimace and then something more neutral as Elita gathers herself and tilts her helm.]

... I don't think there's much, besides the fact that the Lambda has at at least one point dropped creatures on us who aren't marked, and which attacked us.

And someone named Rung who was apparently on the ship is here as well.

[Yes, she glanced through the replies to be able to give that, but hey. Practically part of her job description, and nothing was locked.]

[Video]

[thehardway]

[Ultra Magnus pauses; you're pink, you remind him of Arcee, but you hardly seem nearly as deranged.

No, he takes that back; this Cybertronian is very clearly stable. Sane. Calm. Good traits. But he still doesn't know you.]

That is important to note. I will bear it in mind.

...Rung? That shoud-- not be possible.

[Voice]

[rungout]

[Relief is clear in Rung's voice, despite the fact that it worries him just how many of the Lost Light crew are in this place.]

Ultra Magnus! This is Rung--I'm assuming you just arrived in this place? I haven't been here long myself.

[Voice]

[thehardway]

Doctor. I heard that you were here.

[Despite the fact that it was hard to believe, but... apparently that's true.]

Where are you located?

[video] as i finally change accounts

[sword_redemption]

I'm not sure you can arrest an anomaly, Ultra Magnus.

[Then again, if anyone could make it happen, it's probably you.]

[video]

[thehardway]

Don't tempt me to try.

How long have you been here, Drift?

audio

[percept]

Ultra Magnus. I see you made it here intact.

[ The most bland of greetings. ]

audio

[thehardway]

Perceptor. Nothing is missing, it seems.

What can you tell me in terms of what's happened here?

[video] 1/3

[raceme]

ULTRA MAGNUS!? [Does he look happy to hear that name? Yes he does.]

[video] 2/3

[raceme]

Ah..[ Wait you said 'Lost light'? Oh, you are not the Ultra Magnus he knows.]

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[Oh, hey! He's heard about you! But really, who hasn't?]

I think I feel a little more comfortable with you helping to keep this place in order.

[Though not entirely.]

[audio]

[thehardway]

Ah, Ambulon. Good. I have a request of you.

[Video]

[idle_time]

[Ultra Magnus? The Autobots smashed up friend who the Junkions made like new? No. Often imitated, sometimes duplicated. This was not the one he knew. If anything, this one was even stuffier.]

Are you going to make it show you its steeenking badges?

[Video]

[thehardway]

Er. Something like that.

Who are you?

[Video]

[winged_knight]

[Wing's reviewing the Link now that he's out of seclusion when he notices this transmission. The name he recognizes: he remembers it and a few others that went down on his page while researching the Lost Light crew... yeeeah.]

[He almost doesn't respond, but then he realizes that it's best to replace fantasy with reality.]

Ultra Magnus? I've heard of you, if only in name. There are other members of the Lost Light here. If you haven't encountered them yet, I could likely assist you.

My designation is Wing. I know it's a lot to take in, this place. But none the less, be welcome. [Have a smile to match.]

[Video]

[thehardway]

Wing. I appreciate the offer. There are some that have failed to report in, like First Aid. Where can I find him?

And I'm afraid I don't recognize you. But you are Cybertronian; that I can see.

AUDIO

[disinformation]

[ Of all the bots in the multiverse to turn up, it had to be Ultra Magnus. Granted, it did not appear to be the Ultra Magnus from his universe.

He debates with himself over whether or not he really wants to be Longarm again - but he has a feeling that this Ultra Magnus would possibly be more revealing to a Fellow Autobot. And besides, with Audio he just needs to do the accent. ]

Longarm Prime, sir! [ You can almost hear the salute that Shockwave is not doing. ] If I understand correctly, you aren't the leader of the Autobots?

AUDIO

[thehardway]

Greetings, Longarm Prime.

You would be correct. I am the Duly Appointed Enforcer of the Tyrest Accord, however. Though I imagine that means little here, I enforce the law over both factions.

Optimus Prime... was the leader of the Autobots, for quite sometime. I take it in your world, that was my position? It was made mention to me before by another.
