[Video] feeling the Call

[sword_redemption]

[Drift has looked better. His armor's dented and stained, but nothing looks obviously fatal. More than that, he looks...tired. And twitchy. Which is not a good combination in anyone, least of all him.]

Going back out to the Badlands.

Don't follow.

((OOC: because of his canon (D-Void) and having been into the Badlands twice already, he's feeling the effects of the Calling sooner than anyone else. BUT feel free to comm him or stop him or whatever! ))

And you're correct based on what fact?

[sword_redemption]

That I've felt this before. I know what it means.

[thehardway]

So nothing.

[sword_redemption]

One day you'll listen when someone--even someone you don't like--tries to tell you something. Something important.

[thehardway]

It would be more helpful if you were actually telling me anything.

[sword_redemption]

You don't remember? On Cybertron? At the end of the war?

[thehardway]

Of course I do.

[sword_redemption]

Then you know what I'm talking about.

It. I can feel it. It's here.

[thehardway]

Verify with the Firstforged before you go running off based on a theory.

[Really, he'd rather Drift was wrong.]

[sword_redemption]

You trust them? They didn't tell us about Unicron until we'd already lost how many?

[thehardway]

I don't have much of a choice. They are the authority of this world, Drift. I have to.

[sword_redemption]

Then that's your choice.

I can make a different choice. Because I've fallen for false leaders before. I won't do it again.

[thehardway]

I will follow rank and law, as is always required of me. Their word is the closest we have to fact, outside of a familiar feeling you are experiencing.

And I will not lose another mech to his own foolishness. Which seems to be a concept you cannot grasp.

[sword_redemption]

That's not your choice or your power to control, Ultra Magnus.

[thehardway]

Perhaps not, but you could make it infinitely simpler.

[sword_redemption]

And be wrong. And others would get hurt, maybe die.

I'm not going to 'make your life easy' if it means someone else could die.
