[Drift's still a bit stained and scratched up when he appears on the video feed. He'd intended to clean up first, but orders are orders, and a little spider gunk never killed anyone. It just smelled awful, but that doesn't--thankfully--travel over video.]

As Ultra Magnus has brought up, we have missing.

Some of us can search for the missing, and try and figure out what this Calling is. But we need ideas so we're all on the same page. [A wince. 'Page' isn't a great word for him after that whole...mess.]

Especially about this 'Unicron' and how to defeat him.

[He cocks his head.] The Link might not be the safest place to talk openly, so to be safe, I figure we could have a meeting. Out where the others are building the Rec Center, unless anyone else has a better idea?

((OOC: I'll get the log up later, DW willing?))

[vandalization]

I'll help. Whatever needs to be done.

[cliffjumper]

... Where'd ya get the idea Unicron's behind this?

[No disbelief here, no sir, rather something between an "oh, of course" and questioning the conclusion. Because where did that come from?]

However, if it is, well, uh.

[Cliffjumper shrugs and rubs the back of his helm.]

While that might depend on the reality, basically; a Prime, the Matrix... suppose mechs like the Firstforged would be useful too, an' then hope to Primus you can kick it out of the reality Unicron's arrived in before the reality gets destroyed and consumed.

[We're a regular cheer patrol here, yep.]

'Cause it's kinda hard, even if we're made to fight a planet and universe-gobblin' deity without something heavy to hit it with.

[notyourblueangel]

I don't know anything about a "Unicron" but . . . I agree that something needs to be done.

[fuckinstoplights]

I'll help. I don't want anyone else to be lost.

Vector Prime

[He's not entirely sure he trusts him, but Vector had, after all, stopped the Red Rust from killing him.]

I think if they could have stopped him before now they would have.

[Drift sighs.] We don't know what we're up against or what we have to fight it with. Which is why we all need to come together and talk. Where it's relatively safe.

[Video]

[sword_redemption]

We have mechs from all different realities. We don't have--that I know of--Unicron in my world either.

[sword_redemption]

First we need to figure out what needs to be done. The search for Ratchet--we could improve what we did. Set out grids or have flyers do a round of the edge of the Badlands to see if they spot anyone or...something.

[Some other idea from someone smarter than Drift.]

voice;

[sword_redemption]

We need all the ideas we can take. How to stop this or prevent it or help someone or...anything.

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

Agreed, something should be done.

I'll help..much as I can.

[Video]

[cliffjumper]

If he ain't actually in this reality... yet, I suppose, not much they can do, really.

[Since he's not around to fight against, physically.]

Look, if it is Unicron, I might not have been there when we fought him, but I know at least partly what he is an' what we'd need... An' it was pretty much "everything and the kitchen sink".

[Cliffjumper grimaces and shrugs. That was pretty much what it had been as he'd understood it. Anybody present on Cybertron, regardless of faction, had fought...]

[Video] 1/2

[winged_knight]

[Wing appears over the link, bright with relief so intense it's palpable.]

Drift, you're back! And not looking too worse for the wear either, if I judge right? And you were successful in your task?

[Video] 2/2

[winged_knight]

[And that brightness fades a little, showing how worn he looks. It's the same cloud that's been lingering over them all lately, only temporarily burned away by Drift's return.]

I searched... exhaustively, for those gone recently missing. No sign. Not from the air at least. Perhaps underground...? [He shakes his head.]

'Unicron?' [Did the name sound familiar? Had he heard someone else use it? It's too hard to tell.]

You're right, open discussion would be good. I'll come. I want to hear more of what you've learned.

[Video]

[sword_redemption]

Good. The more of us looking out for each other, the better.

I'll see you at the meeting.

[Video]

[sword_redemption]

Yeah, uh we're fine. Sorry for being...quiet. [Drift looks a little guilty. Just as he'd crossed back into the Link stabilizing, Ultra Magnus's broadcast had hit. He'd meant to contact Wing immediately, but got distracted. ]

[You are the worst boyfriend ever, Drift.]

Underground's a thought. Probably tunnels under here that should be checked, mapped. [Topspin would be all over this...except Topspin's dead.]

[He gives a grateful nod.] Please. I could really use your help. [Is that too much? He hopes not.] I mean everyone's help is important.

voice;

[thxforthememories]

I'm not sure how we would prevent it.

Short of putting up walls... but you're all so big. You could go over or through them, easily.

[raceme]

Drift WHAT happened to you!?

I will come over.

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

I'm..not very mobile at the moment, but I can help some with keeping an eye out for people.

I'll be there. [If he can manage it.]

[vandalization]

Yeah. We could afford to do another sweep. Wish the Firstforged would help.

[Video]

[winged_knight]

It's fine Drift. [He smiles, because it's true. Duty first. And frankly he's just happy you're back.] These are important things that need to be seen to.

[Practice makes perfect though!]

There do seem to be some around Vector's temple, I did notice trails in the gorge walls leading to what appear to be apertures. I wish we had someone who was skilled at mapping though.

Absolutely, anything for you. And even so, it's important work. [He smiles, because anything that is actively taking steps forward feels better than what's he's been doing.]

[Then that smile twitches a little.]

Umm, speaking of things that need to be seen to...do you need to hit the washracks before the meeting? [It's not a nag or a dig--not the way Wing is smiling like that--more an unsubtle suggestion for a semi private meeting place before other very public meetings start.]

[dinnerdate]

Defeating Unicron? ...You're going to die.

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

You? Take on Unicron?

Yeah, good luck wit dat. Ya got anythin' in yer possessions worthy of me takin' when yer dead?

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

[Unicron seems familiar ... like he should know that.]

Oooh. Am I invited to your little get together?

[Video]

[a_father_to_his_men]

I think a public conference about all the factors, with as many people there in person as possible, would be greatly beneficial. Perhaps, once it is decided when the meeting is to be held, people could submit questions in text format, so that they isn't a clamor to air these questions at the meeting, and we can go over them to figure out what we know and what we are still unsure about.

If there is any way I can help, please let me know.

[Video]/the suckiest at inbox management

[sword_redemption]

I think we're meeting where they're building the rec center. It's the closest to a neutral place I could think of.

...and away from the First Forged.

*sob* i am the worst with an inbox i can't be trusted

[sword_redemption]

...we are?

Wreck-Gar said they killed him in his world. It has to be possible.
