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.

You didn't hear this from me, but there's a lot they don't permit.

[in a quasi-sincere kind of way, because this is genuinely a struggle for him (but as he said, it's nowhere near the exercise in homicidal restraint that dealing with Prowl is)] Anything I can do to make it easier for you settling in?

Such as?

That would depend on if you're willing to tell me what Decepticons are present or not.

Badlands exploring, for one. And the whole Glyph thing, I wouldn't recommend you try removing it. They might get offended.

[a long pause.]

Well. A Megatron's here.

Perceptor said it could not be removed. What about the Badlands besides the name makes them opposed to its exploring?

...Megatron.

I think it could be. Liege looked like he was going to panic when he was demanding to see mine, after--[whoops. The whole talking before he thinks thing...]

Not our Megatron. He's flying red colors. --And I'm not being deliberately oblique, here, it's hard to explain.

Go on.

...A Megatron. With a red emblem.














I need to sit down again.

I'm guessing the Badlands can strip you. Of the Glyph, and whatever protection and control it entails. Maybe, that's just a guess. But I wouldn't go out there, because I did and lots of people were surprised I was still functioning afterward, including me.

Not going anyplace, big guy. It came as a shock to me too, let me tell you. [hopefully that's sufficient derailing to avoid having to sell out what decepticons he knows are here. He'll bus them if he has to, but he really would rather not.]

And that is part of why they want us to avoid the Badlands. I see.

[Magnus does make a point of sitting the hell down, because that's intense man.]

It wouldn't be sensible for you to lie about something like that. [Especially when it relates to Megatron.] What... is he like?
