[Video] [Transmitting from Prima's Quadrant, outside Police Headquarters]

[The feed clicks on and Wing raises a hand to greet you. He's looking every bit himself again, though his usual cheer is replaced with a determined solemnity. The new Police Headquarters building stands behind him, from which he's obviously just emerged, with the light of Prima's temple shining from the distance.]

Fellow Haveners,

The last time I addressed you all in this fashion I was very much not myself, as many of you already know. Aside from not looking like myself, I was also suffering from a decidedly altered state of mind and morality, through no fault of my own. Unfortunately, I believe many others here may have also suffered because of it.

But first: Any issues you have with words or actions you assume were Drift's during that period, the week before last, know that they were mine instead. Due to Alpha Trion's pages, I looked near identical to Drift while he looked nothing like himself during that time. I do not wish him blamed for my actions or those perpetrated by my dark counterpart. If you have issues, please bring them to me.

[His head hangs in silence, gathering his thoughts. The weight of this is obviously heavy upon him, but he bears it with the quiet, composed grace of someone who has done much introspection. When he speaks, his tone carries both strength and empathy.]

I wish to extend a dutiful and sparkfelt apology for the wrongs incurred due to my words or deeds during that time. I can't tell you how much it pains me that I may have, even unintentionally, undermined your trust in me, damaged friendships or tarnished respect. It would never be my intention to deliberately slander, harm, make uncomfortable or otherwise create malcontent in this community.

[He cycles a ventilation here, slightly uncomfortable. Because though that's 99% true, he's fully aware that part of him bares little shame in his plots to kill Prism. That's something he's still trying to reconcile with his own values.]

As much as self exile is a fitting penance for someone such as I, which is why I have been out of touch of late, I realize it does little for the community which I have wronged. As such I would like to offer recompense to those my dark counterpart called out directly, in the form of one task or favor you wish of me. Such a task can be any of your choosing, so long as it is within my ability, though I do reserve the right to refuse on moral grounds...

If you feel such a thing is not necessary or refuse the offer for any other reason I will respect that, but remember I do this for you as much as myself, as it is part of my personal process of atonement.

Feel free to contact me publicly or privately, however you feel most safe. I urge anyone to please bring me any questions or concerns you have, I will field them all regardless of what you have to say, pleasant or not. I owe you all that much.

I'm sorry it took me this long to bring you apology, but it's taken me some time to get right with myself before being able to offer the same to all of you. You have my endless gratitude for your patience and understanding. By the Guiding Hand, I wish you all well.

I dunno if I ever want to talk to you again.

[Says the bear sending a video... to talk to him.]

[Oh dear.]

Teddie.

I'm sorry. That was...terrible. Granted...I don't remember it completely but, what I do remember was rude and inconsiderate. You'd be well within your rights if you didn't want to speak to me for a long while.

[He looks quite abashed.]

I can only hope that you reconsider eventually because I do enjoy your company.

[Damn it, that's his weakness. People liking him. He stubbornly opens one of his eyes, still trying to look upset.]

Really? You mean that?

[Well, it's been true from the start, in Wing's case at least.]

I do. But I want you to feel safe most of all. If you don't, than I have work to do in repairing our friendship. I greatly regret upsetting you and saying so many inappropriate things. You are often a refreshingly bright point in this community of war torn veterans. I would hate to have diminished that.

[He looks a little grave, he's taking this quite seriously.]

Wing.

[It's Slipstream, yes she's around. At the moment, she's addressing the comm cautiously.]

Everyone knows about the magic doodles, right? You could have done stuff you wouldn't usually. But, if I heard about something, it's not like I would know if that was you or not really you.

It's not like I'm trying to get all in your business, but it'd help if I knew if the source were accurate. You understand?

[Wing blinks for a moment.]

Slipstream? I haven't seen you in a long time. It's good to see that you're well! [He actually brightens a bit at that.]

I think they all do by now yes, or most at least. And...well, I did do a lot of things that I would never even consider noramlly... I'm just happy no one was actually physically injured.

[Seriously, it's good that you missed out on his creeping.]

If you want context...as much as I'd like to bury it all...there's plenty of evidence on the Link of someone looking very much like Drift but with blazing red optics. How can I even sum it up, aside from 'Generally being horrible from a moral perspective'?

[He puts a hand to his face.]

[She nods. Yes, yes, she's fine. Gets the whole 'pages made me do it'.]

It's not like I want to go search and see! Just- Might you have hit on Starscream?

[And before there's time to answer immediately.] It's not like I care! I'm not trying to keep track of how many Autobots or Decepticons do what with each other. Only, if some bot suggested you did, would they have been lying?
