[Video]

[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?

Shit...

Vandal. [He could tell by her unique style even if it wasn't video.]

I'm trying to find them. We need ideas. [Which is his way of saying: you're smarter than me, we could use your ideas.]

Well. It depends on if they're related. I think if we do run a search we should start with the temples and converge on the junkpile. That way, we can cover all the ground and if we don't find them...

Then we'll. Know. At least.

Vector seems to think they're related. [He sends her the file of his conversation with the FirstForged.]

And that's a good plan. We need teams for the search.

Hmmmmm... well. If the big guy thinks so.

I vote teams of two or three per if we can help it. It's never a good plan to split up. Every horror movie will tell you that.

You trust him? Them?

Why didn't they tell us this sooner?

[He nods.] Yes. And Vandal. You'll be safe, right?

Nobody asked them? I don't think they're... evil or out to hide things from us. I just... get the feeling they don't know what they're doing as much as we think they are.

I will. You know I will. But you have to promise the same.
