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.

Mm.

[Ultra Magnus is making a specific point to dig up a datapad and work on an entry for himself as he listens to Wing. He frowns faintly, a bit more than usual.]

Is it so unusual? For an Autobot to be wary of a Decepticon.

[His tone isn't cold, just very frank.]

Granted, the war is over where we're from, but I suppose that sort of attitude is interesting.

[He grunts softly.] I'll deal with Pharma. Thank you for the information.

...Yes, Drift was sure to tell me that he'd nearly gotten himself killed three times here. I'm sure that impresses someone.

[Wing notes the actions curiously: in general he finds the care Magnus takes in this task reassuring.]

Not so unusual, no. But it was beyond wary. Disgust and violent outrage at the idea of working with one. He'd kept a very low profile previously and had no issue co-existing at least in minor ways before. There was something in his specific wording that stuck me as odd. [He makes a frustrated ex-vent.] I wish I could remember it, I'm sorry. I don't want to give misinformation. You might still find it on the Link...

[Wing wonders if it's faction prejudice that's led Pharma to do these things. It would explain why he seemed to have a grudge against Drift. But that seems like to much conjecture and bias and Wing is so very uncertain.]

So you think he might really be an issue? ['It's not just me?' Wing asks.]

[Wing's not certain what that has to do with Drift protecting him, but Wing gets the message regardless.]

I value all life. [Drift's far more than most.] Is it so wrong for him to want his life to matter in a positive way?

[His words don't accuse, they merely state fact and pose an inquisitive question.]

I will see if I can sort out the entries and locate it appropriately. I appreciate the information, Wing.

As far as whether or not he will be an issue depends entirely on Pharma.

[Magnus raises an optic ridge at the following topic concerning Drift.]

I don't see how trying to get himself killed a few times makes his life more valued. There are other ways.

Sacrifice happens. Three times sounds... habitual.

Happy to help Ultra Magnus, if you need anything else, please feel free to ask. [That's not just a pleasantry, it's obvious he means that.]

Hopefully it can be resolved without difficulty. [Or violence.]

[Wing tilts his head thoughtfully, because his chosen turn of phrase was intentional, being wildly open to interpretation, and it's interesting the direction Magnus takes.]

It's a two fold concept: Will the giving of one's life matter, and does it matter enough to be saved?

Habitual? You may not be wrong. [There's a touch of sadness in the admission.]
