[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...

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.

[video]

[namesnotprowl]

Geh, scientists trying t'quantify how horrible we are to our planets. I tend t'forget how many Autobots were scientists before the war.

[video]

[sciencetank]

Who else would do it? Soldiers?

[Purposefully missing the point...]

Many still are, to my knowledge. Simply because we must fight hardly means we've altered our primary function.

[video]

[namesnotprowl]

Now you're just being obtuse.

I've met very few Autobots that still claim t'just be scientists. For supposedly being peaceful researchers you folks take to destruction like ducks to water.

[video]

[sciencetank]

An occasional perk of brilliance.

I imagine in most cases we've little choice in the matter, considering the astronomical odds thrown against us. In the name of survival, any sentient being can easily be pushed to disturbing extremes by circumstance alone.
