This is McCrane.

[He is aware that there is some way in which to lock this to only his fellow Brave Police Officers, but he's not familiar enough with the settings yet to do this, so everyone can see it.]

One of the large inhabitants has informed me that we can take up residence with him.

Should we accept this offer?

I have yet to find any gasoline...

[As if now realizing that this might actually be useful if there are a number of viewers, he pauses, and changes tactics.]

Has anyone found anything that looks like this? [He holds up his one, single can of gasoline, hoping that the camera on his communicator can catch it.] It might become necessary.

[Considering they'll. Die. If they don't find a supply of it.]

Yes, it's better to stay alive and try to do some good. Or if you must die, die protecting someone.

[And not, say, ignominiously rusting out on a medibay berth somewhere.]

I need to fix things. The war, everything.

Lots of things can't be explained by facts. Emotions, for one thing. How you can look at the sunset [Cherry blossoms optional] and feel something, when all you're seeing is planetary rotation.

...It's a theory we need to be concerned about, before going 'home'. [See? Facts get you into all sorts of depressing trouble. You should join Drift on the Bright Side.]

You sound like a good person, Drift. [You get a small smile for it, too.]

I hope you can do all that you want to. It would be nice for your kind to experience peace, once more.

[Especially since he can't deny that you're correct.]

...

Perhaps. But I don't have to take emotions on faith. I feel them. I should not take them for granted, but they exist, whether I believe in them or not.

I will have to keep gathering information, then. Any that you can find and share would be very helpful.

I'm trying.

[Trying so hard it hurts.]

Honestly I'm not sure we know how to do it. When I left Cybertron it didn't seem possible.

[And part of him wonders if he should have stayed, but no. He was a fighter. And there was no place for warriors there.]

But. [How do you explain faith? He's not even sure Wing could do it.] Well, what's the connection between what you see and what you feel? What is that?

....

We all need to share what we know. [Particularly if Knock Out was right about the Primes.]
