[The video clicks on far too close to Blades' face as he seems to be squinting at something. Realizing the camera is on, he blinks and backs up, hurrying to put a smile on his face.]

Hello! Hi everyone out there! I'm Blades. So, I guess we're all a little lost, or something? I don't know, some guy just told me I was in a lamb or something... looks like Cybertron to me. At least... sort of. There aren't all the cities and buildings and lights, but I know Cybertron like... Well, like home.

[A soft sigh as he wonders what home is exactly right now. Griffin Rock feels the most like home. But no time for that. A slight shake of his head brings him back to the here and now.]

Anyhow, if anyone sees my teammates, I'd appreciate it. There's a fire truck named Heatwave, a police car named Chase, and a bulldozer named Boulder. They're all really nice and I miss them. Of course, seeing as I heard we're stuck here, I'd love to get to know some of you too! I'm always up for making new friends. I've been so busy pretending to be a robot lately, it's been hard to talk to people.

[Oh, maybe he shouldn't mention that. Oops. A sheepish smile before he continues.]

Yeah. So... Hi again, and bye for now! [An enthusiastic wave and the screen blinks out.]

[Yay a bot and not a... bear.]

Oh yes, that must have been what he said. I thought he just had a funny accent.

[There was something familiar about this bot... Something important.]

Are you stuck here as well?

No, it is the correct word. It is the light in the sky that's rather hard to ignore.

We are all stuck here for the time being. Until then, I would suggest making yourself useful, Blades.

I am Ultra Magnus. I will be working with Special Agent Blurr to be arranging a series of laws as well as a law enforcement team.

I haven't really been outside yet... [Too scary and disorienting.]

Um, what should I do? I want to be useful.

[Oh yes. That was why he knew that face. They'd never met, but who didn't know about Ultra Magnus? The orange and white bot saluted and straightened up.]

Oh! Ultra Magnus sir! I'll help in any way I can, just tell me what to do.

[Blades wasn't, after all, a leader type.]

What are your skills, Blades?

Your cooperation is... refreshing and appreciated.

[Everyone else likes giving him sass, damn it! This is good.]

Um, I'm a rescue bot, sir. I go to the scene of a crisis and help people. And, um... I fly.

[Drat. He really didn't want to tell Magnus that. But there was a punishment of death or something for lying to Ultra Magnus!]

I see. Would you say that your skills are meant for support rather than the offense?

Yes sir. I'm not a fighter, just a helper. I've never held a weapon in my life!

[And he'd prefer to keep it that way.]

Understood. I will keep that in consideration.

Blades, I will see where you will fit in. Chances are, there will be use for you as a rescue bot. Not everything is about fighting, so there is a place for you, naturally.

Thank you, sir.

[This guy was a much better leader than Heatwave. And he was nice! Everyone always said Ultra Magnus was terrifying or a jerk.]

Is there anything I can do to help you, sir?

At this time, no. I will contact you if I need to.

Your cooperation's appreciated.
