[It's just a short video feed, from what was--briefly, one of the Perceptor's labs. A half-built space bridge is in the background.]

Perceptor's gone.

And now Ratchet.

Either someone's kidnapping them, [Looking at you, First Forged. Or Prism.] or they're wandering someplace dangerous and getting killed. Because neither of them are good fighters.

Or....something else.

[He's not sure he's covered all the angles. He's a swordsmech, not Nightbeat or Prowl. But those are conclusions he can draw.]

I'm heading to the Badlands to at least settle that angle. And I have...business out there, anyway. [And he's not quite dumb enough to go against Prism on his own. But the Badlands, he can handle.]

Anyone else missing? Anyone have another solution?

[Yes, he knows what a sword is. That didn't stop his other friends with swords from getting hurt.]

'Cause if you get in trouble, I can help you!

[BLINK.]

You can help me best by keeping Wing safe, Teddie, if you want to help.

W-what--Wing is fine! He's not the one going into any badlands!

Teddie. We don't know where these mechs are disappearing from. Maybe it's the Badlands. Maybe they're being, I don't know, snatched in their sleep right here. And if that's the case, anyone's in danger.

That's an excellent point. That means you should stay here, too, and look with me.

[Teddie you are giving Drift a headache and being impossibly cute at the same time. ]

I have something I need to do out there, anyway, Teddie.

[It's what he does best.]

Aw come on, stop it! I'm so sick and tired of people getting hurt or being sad, I can't bear anymore of this. You guys are gonna make me lose all my fur.

[Stop giving him that face, Teddie. Please. You're breaking him.]

I'm not going to get hurt, Teddie. [He hopes.] Besides, we're robots. Getting hurt doesn't mean the same thing for us.

I don't care!! It's still getting hurt and I still don't like it!

...I'm sorry, Teddie. I'll be careful. I promise.
