AUDIO; location - Vector Prime's Temple

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.

Would you like the short explanation, or the long one?

The more detailed, the better.

[As if pontifications ever bothered him.]

The anomaly which brought us here, known as the Lambda, appears to be a tear in space-time connecting and drawing in individuals from multiple timelines and universes. 'Multiples' of the same individual have been encountered, although there are often vast physical or behavioural differences between them. There is another version of me present, for example, although he is a great deal... perkier. Along with Cybertronians, there are also several humans among the population, as well as a variety of other alien life. At this time it is unclear as to why particular individuals are brought through the Lambda.

As for our location, we are currently occupying a version of Cybertron, although it appears to be in a very primitive state. The known population seems limited to the Haven and temples of the various First Forged, who also serve a vague roll of leadership within the community. I haven't had enough exposure to the various First Forged to make an accurate judgement of their relationships with one another, but each is responsible for those individuals who occupy their temples and there appears to be some form of communication network between them. I have yet to isolate the factors behind how and why one finds themselves more or less 'assigned' to a particular First Forged, although preliminary analysis suggests it is involves temperament and behavioural factors.

I am assuming that you awoke with a symbol on your arm. I believe this is related to the various factions within the First Forged, as the colour and form vary, but I am uncertain as to how the symbols are placed or maintained. All of my attempts to remove or alter my particular symbol have proved futile. Even after I removed the external armour of my arm it persisted on the components beneath, which leads me to believe they are being externally projected in some manner rather than simply painted or branded on...

[ He drifts off for a moment, lost in thought. THIS IS FASCINATING TO HIM OKAY. ]

Ah, anyways. In regards to the non-native population, there seems to be a rather disproportionately large number of individuals from our own universe. Additionally, while there are a small number present, when every universe is taken into account the Autobot faction vastly outnumbers the Decepticons. Of course, these are merely simple statistics, and whether or not they reflect underlying factors of any great importance has yet to be determined.

Certain rules of reality appear to be in flux here, although whether it is a result of the Lambda or the powers of the First Forged is unclear. Most recently several pages of a certain 'tome' were misplaced by one of the First Forged, resulting in both the physical and mental alterations of various individuals as well as the appearance of materials from apparent nothingness. Most of the effects disappeared, although some physical artifacts still remain.

While I am sure Whirl will take great delight in informing you of this himself, I believe I should report the fact that I opened fire on, and wounded, him several weeks ago. At the time he was in possession of one of the humans, who I believed to be in danger. There was also a later incident involving a biosynthetic by the name of Hal Nine-Thousand. I accidentally shot him while target shooting in the junk pile. There is a makeshift law force in place, and they saw to my apprehension and punishment. Hal no longer seems present, or at the very least has not communicated on the Link in quite some time. [ He's only telling you this because you are the Law, okay. ]

The force itself is relatively new and, I believe, still in the process of organizing and recruiting from the populace. The First Forged have requested that there be a representative from each temple present within the force itself, although I believe their involvement does not exceed that.

[ Did he miss something? Probably. But he's been nattering on for quite a while now, so perhaps he should... slow... down. ]

Do you have any specific enquiries?

[He's been attentive to all of that. When Perceptor is done, Magnus finally speaks.]

Your forthcoming is appreciated. [And in comparison to everyone else, damned weird, but he can expect it from Perceptor, thankfully.] If your punishment has been taken care of, then I will see if there's an official report and nothing more.

[Not that he's particularly angry that you shot Whirl, but. Rules. And stuff. Though the bio-synthetic is a bit more of a concern, but if it's been dealt with, Magnus has nothing else to add.]

No. That was very detailed. Is there anything else you think I should know?

Overlord is present, although his current whereabouts are unknown. I only spoke with him briefly around the time of my arrival, and have not seen or heard from him since. There is also at least one alien AI on the loose causing some harm to the general public. Several mechs have been abducted and maimed to some degree. The culprit was apprehended for a brief period, then later escaped.

Mm, less importantly, it's generally accepted that the Badlands, beyond the Haven, are hazardous and should be avoided.
