[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. From different worlds. Just like you're from an Earth that's not like the Earth I know.

[Do not ask Drift to explain. He has no idea.]

I don't want to endanger others. I'll be fine.

But... the one I do know. He's all right?

What if others want to go?

The one from my world? Yes. He's fine. [Drift looks visibly relieved. He's heard from Perceptor by now. ]

He's coming with me. But I don't want others to come and risk getting hurt for my sake.

Good. I... that's good.

All of it. Please come back intact. I can't... ask anything else.
