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.

Don't tempt me to try.

How long have you been here, Drift?

[He knows Ultra Magnus wouldn't want to hear his theory that they'd been brought here for a reason. That sort of required faith in something above The Law.]

Since we all woke up. Several decacycles ago. Apparently it was just the First Forged here before that, and their Acolytes.

H-how's the ship doing? [With Rodimus in charge and he and Ultra Magnus here? Terrifying thought.]

So I'd been told.

Rung was shot in the head by accident. I had to lock Fortress Maximus in the brig. Rodimus made a speech. I'm certain it ended with "til all are one".

How do you shoot someone in the head...by accident? By Fort Max? [No wonder the mech had kept a low profile here. ]

Was anyone else hurt? [Frag. Why wasn't he there? He could have done something!]

Good thing I wouldn't take that bet even if you took it. [ALL of Rodimus's speeches end that way. Some even begin that way.]

Maximus is a lot of things. He did not shoot Rung. You were there, Drift. You don't remember?

Whirl was. [But who cares about that.] Max also received some damage. Easily repairable. Rung, not so much.

So, why is Maximus so upset? Last I recalled, he was saving us from the monoformers.

[Hardly the stuff to go on depressive drinking binges about, really.]

Whirl gets hurt...a lot. I think he likes it. [Yeah. Whirl. Wow.] Ratchet? [As in 'is he working on Rung?']

...I will not tell you that right now. Nor should you ask Max.

I don't know. I was busy with Fortress Maximus. I didn't get Ratchet's final report on Rung.

...I haven't. [Thanks for the advice, Ultra Magnus, but both of them have been here longer than you.]

You know, we should be able to work together. We're the command cadre here. [As in, you could throttle back the attitude a bit? Harmony, Ultra Magnus. Harmony!]

Keep it that way. [That's nice.]

What have you been doing why you were in command, Drift? Since you have been here for a fair bit of time.

Uh. Not being in command. It's not really that kind of place. [So, okay it's going to be like that.]

We were all more concerned about survival and cooperation. Like when the sharkthings attacked. And then, well, it's been a bad week, but I don't think anything would have helped that.

I see. [Whatever opinion he has, he's keeping it to himself.] So you have not been keeping track of the others?

Difficult to say, as I was not present for that. I am gaining information from Elita One concerning Alpha Trion and these pages.

I have. Just because I'm not ordering people around doesn't mean I'm not trying to help them.

Well, I hope there's not another round of it to find out if you don't mind.

Then enlighten me to your previous actions here. A full report would be appreciated.

I don't particularly mind not experiencing it for myself, but I want information.

I'll get right on that. [Enlighten. Right. That's a consummation devoutly to be wished.]

You don't want the experience. I nearly died. Three times.

Do so.

That's a bit of a typical matter of us. Nearly dying. Are you currently damaged?

I think Perceptor's covered most of the bases, honestly.

Typical. [Right. Like he expected sympathy. How silly of him. Considering he couldn't remember the last time Ultra Magnus got injured.] It's immaterial.

So you haven't done anything besides nearly get yourself killed a few times?

Then you don't require medical attention.

No. That's about it. [He's certainly not going to tell him about being turned into a girl.]

If I needed it, I would have gotten it already. [Riiiight.]

I should have known. At least you're ... forthcoming about that.

Right. Of course you would have.

Thanks. Sorry to disappoint you.

[Like he's ever done anything else, apparently.]

Right. I'm certain that you are.

I will organize accordingly. Someone has to.

[You know, the sarcasm is really unnecessary. It's really an obstacle to your growth.]

All right. I'll go get started on that report.

[So's the pityfest, Drift.]

Good. Inform me when you're done.

[Not pity, acceptance. He's run into this attitude from Bumblebee, and others. He wishes he could live it down. He wishes more mechs would believe in second chances.]

Get right on that.
