Due to Ratchet's disappearance, I have taken the time to go through the Link and take into account of the entries made. Due to the varying disappearances we have, it may be functional to keep track of who is here and who is missing. I humbly request the Firstforged's assistance with this task, as they have some ability to track this.

I simply wish to keep track of who is present and who we may lose. It seems... random, how this Calling affects us.

In relation to Ratchet's disappearance, do we have a medic who is willing to head his medbay?

Blurr, please report in.

And Fortress Maximus, you are late to report in to me! I do not approve nor do I appreciate your tardiness.

Maybe we shouldn't worry so much about the symptoms, but go after the cause.

[You know what he's talking about, since you were obviously creeping on his comm channel.]

[thehardway]

Go on.

[sword_redemption]

This Unicron. Wreck-Gar told me in his world, Unicron was defeated.

[thehardway]

Would you be able and willing to get more information about him?

[sword_redemption]

He said Unicron was defeated by the Matrix of Leadership.

But that's his world. Seems to me the best thing would be to ask others from other worlds about this Unicron. And the Matrix. [Since ours is sorta....broken.]

[A wry shrug. Drift's not exactly Mr Popular, is he?] Someone else is probably better suited to it.

[thehardway]

...We would need another Matrix. [How likely is that going to happen?]

Passing it off to another. Hardly impressive for a third in command. Very well; I will assign another individual.

[sword_redemption]

Or something else. Which is why we should ask.

[He sighs, shaking his head. Why did he expect anything other than contempt?]

I'll do it. I just thought it would be a better use of assets to give it to someone else who people already knew and talked to.

[thehardway]

Something just as powerful? I can't imagine what that would be.

It is also something you seemed very intent on, all things considered.

[sword_redemption]

[Nothing personal, Ultra Magnus, but you're not really known for your vast powers of imagination.]

None of us could imagine writing on pages that change people. Or this place, at all. [Give him that much of a point?]

I'll take care of it. [What? Wanting as many people involved in the solution as possible? Yes. It's everyone's problem, everyone should be part of the solution.]

[thehardway]

Yes, but if the Firstforged are so powerful, why wouldn't they have dealt with Unicron already?

See that you do.

[sword_redemption]

They're not that powerful. [Obviously.] Look at how they've lied to us--or at least, haven't told us the whole story.

Besides if they and Unicron are equals, it's like stasis. Equal and opposite forces. [He presses his palms together to demonstrate.] Nothing really moves, much. But add something else--us--and the balance changes.
