[Contrary to his previous postings, this time, Perceptor sounds rather harried.]

Yes, it would seem I've been tasked with a rather unpleasant notification...

Regardless, Commander Ultra Magnus wished me to inform the lot of you that he has, somehow, managed to subdue the Decepticon known as "Overlord", and, exceptionally pretentious title aside, wished the denizens of the Haven to be notified.

[There are some tapping noises, as he's apparently working on something while he makes this announcement.]

He is currently in the process of returning the casualties and wounded to the local medical bay. Any medical staff currently in residence are asked to prepare both themselves and their equipment as speedily as possible.

... which, I suppose includes myself. So if someone would be so kind as to ah, point me in the general direction...

As you say.

I do hope you mean 'little point in fighting the war here", considering the entire reason I've posted this message to begin with suggests very strongly there is a need to fight, on occasion, even in this place.

Indeed. We do.

[audio]

[namesnotprowl]

I've heard the stories.
My question is, is it a good idea t'leave an interior threat like Overlord alive, when others here have already dealt with exterior threats that aren't likely t'go away any time soon?

Besides, are you sure you can stomach the idea of a former Decepticon watching your back?

[audio]

[sciencetank]

You're assuming such a thing is my call to make. Commander Magnus and the authorities are responsible for those decisions. I'm a scientist, not an enforcer.

I'm certain I can handle myself, should it be necessary.

[audio]

[namesnotprowl]

Mm, everyone says they c'n take care of themselves, until something happens that they can't handle.

[All-Spark knows he's done the same thing a million times himself.]

[audio]

[sciencetank]

Is there any particular reason you're pursuing this line of questioning, when I've already admitted we require your assistance?

[audio]

[namesnotprowl]

Just curious, really. I like t'know what I might be dealing with in the future, if the scrap hits the rotors, as it were.

[video]

[sciencetank]

In that case...

[He switches from audio to video. After all, it seemed to make that Starscream disinclined to "attempt anything", more or less.]

[Maybe it has something to do with his size...]

... I don't suppose a video feed is more helpful to you.

[video]

[namesnotprowl]

Mm. Allow me to reciprocate.

[And to video it is, with Barricade in all his spikey glory.

Though if anything, he looks more fascinated by Perceptor than deterred.]

Don't think I've seen your timestream's design before. Wait, is your alt a tank?

[video]

[sciencetank]

... Well. That's a rather interesting design scheme. A bit too heavy on the ah... spines to be serviceable, I'd say.

Hm. Likewise.

And yes. It is.

Re: [video]

[namesnotprowl]

You'd be shocked how well it works, I'm sure. Though demonstrations are simpler in person.

My. Here I didn't think that Autobots usually went for armored war-machines as an alt. I've never met one that was a tank before.

[video]

[sciencetank]

I believe I'll pass.

It was an effective vehicle mode for traversing portions of Cybertron left unexplored.

[video]

[namesnotprowl]

There was that much of yours yet unexplored?

[video]

[sciencetank]

Mm, no, I wouldn't go that far. More accurately, there was "that much of mine forgotten about".

[video]

[namesnotprowl]

Forgotten? I take it your archives about the planet weren't kept up or lost, somehow?

[video]

[sciencetank]

At some point, yes. Ancient history is rather muddied by an appalling lack of data.

[video]

[namesnotprowl]

You'd think someone'd look into it every once in a while, though.

[video]

[sciencetank]

Yes, well, the number of individuals willing to wander into the Sea of Rust is staggeringly low.

[video]

[namesnotprowl]

With a name like that I c'n hardly blame them.

[video]

[sciencetank]

It's not nearly as bad as it sounds.

[video]

[namesnotprowl]

I'd hope it's not. Otherwise I'd be concerned about your Cybertron.

[video]

[sciencetank]

I'd be concerned for it, regardless, considering the planet is no longer anything remotely close to "functional".

[video]

[namesnotprowl]

A story you hear too often from Cybertronians across dimensions.

[video]

[sciencetank]

Ah, a commonality! Good, that should... be something to keep in the notes, for later comparison.

[video]

[namesnotprowl]

Don't know that most Cybertrons bein' wrecks or dead is much of a comparison point. Considering it's generally caused by the fact that we can't stop attacking each other.

[video]

[sciencetank]

Generally.

But 'generally' isn't scientifically sound.
