[At first he was going to encrypt the message to only Autobots. But then he started wondering if that was what he really wanted? Maybe it was time to try other things and see what came up. In any case, no one was to see who he was, and he made sure to scrub the connection clean of his personal identifiers. He even modulated his voice a bit to sound higher. He was a trained spy, after all, and he didn't want to go giving himself away.]

Is anyone hearing this? Is anyone out there? I'm not sure where I am or what I'm supposed to be doing, but... If someone could explain it to me that's not a temple drone?

[Was that too telling? Slag. Or did everyone start at these temples?]

Is there a way out of here? Any shuttles or teleports or whatever? Let me know what you've found. I'll be here.

[That little snippet was all anyone would get from. The mission was to collect data. the source didn't matter because all information was valuable. It would of course, be evaluated based on who it came from after it was obtained. ]

[Alpha Trion? Interesting. There was obviously a lot of information to gather.]

And these... Primes? Are they legitimate? Are they not the law of the land?

As far as I can tell, they are legitimate. But this is a new Cybertron and they were not expecting us. As such, they haven't developed such things. I daresay they are inexperienced in them.

So you take it upon yourself to make rules on their land?

[Presumptuous. And Mirage imagined that if Ultra Magnus was left to make the rules, fun would be outlawed and probably some of Mirage's habits as well.]

With their approval, Mirage.

[Busted. There were bots Mirage would feel worse about being discovered by than Ultra Magnus. The modulation faded so Mirage's voice was just his own from this point forward.]

I assume you've felt out the demeanors of the Primes to be certain they won't take your... forwardness as an attack?

They haven't opposed. Though I am wary of Megatronus Prime, I don't perceive them as a threat for a moment nor do they perceive me as such.

No, I doubt they would.

[For as much as Ultra Magnus was feared among the Autobot ranks, and some Decepticons, Mirage couldn't imagine someone with the powers of the original Primes fearing him at all.]

Well, I can't imagine anyone better to make the laws of the land than one who knows so much about laws as you, sir.

Your confidence is noted.

What do you intend to do here? Or can you be counted on if I were to need you for a task?

I am weighing my options. I would prefer to stay out of conflict for now.

[How does one politely tell Ultra Magnus 'no'?]

We'll see once I'm a bit more settled.

That is acceptable.

[It's not like he can force Mirage, sadly; rank is. Complicated here.]

Good. Keep it in mind.

Of course.

[And thank Primus for that.]

Any other general or specific warnings, sir?
