[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?

Keep me updated, Drift.

You're right. We all owe that Doc...more than he knows.

If I know anything, you'll be the first to hear.

...he'll never live it down if we rescue him. [It's an attempt at a joke.]

[Wheeljack gives a little chuckle. You know, the one that sounds much less confident than he wants.]

He'll throw a wrench at ya first thing.

Just a heads up.

I'll deserve it for being out in the badlands.

Then I'll throw it right back at him for the same reason.

[He'd really love to be able to do that. Either part, if it meant Ratchet hadn't gone.]

Now I'd pay to see that. When you do it, make sure to give me a ring.

Put it on Video.

Oh you'd know. Wouldn't want you to miss out on the chance to be the one yelling at him.

[The jokes are a little thin, but he's clinging onto hope.]

Wouldn't miss it for the world.
