[video] Enter the Fanboy

[The video feed pops on, to a slightly breathless sounding voice and a worried pair of blue optics.]

...must have gotten knocked out.

Perceptor? Verity? Springer? A-anyone?

[He tries to make his voice sound a little calmer, a little less unnerved. ]

I'm okay. Something must've, uh, hit me on the head or something.

[Not, you know, the passing out thing. Of course not]

Tell me it's over.

Tell me...we won.

...

Tell me I'm not alone.

But that's not the truth, sir.

[And Aequitas insists on truth. Absolute and objective and impartial and ruthless. And by Aequitas's standards, he'd failed.]

I don't need a medic. I'm fine--I will be fine.

The truth is that you helped defeat Overlord. Prowl thought he was doing you a favor. I humbly disagree with him.

No. You won't be. It's still in your head, isn't it? I'd like for you to be repaired. But I can't force that on you, of course.

Well everyone's take is a little biased. Everyone draws their own conclusions.

It's okay to be scared.

Oh! Yeah no he never mentioned it.

Hey- wait no... come on. Doesn't mean we can't be friends, does it?

Yes, but the truth matters. It's the only thing that does.

...it's not okay if you're a Wrecker.

Oh. I guess I thought,...no. It makes sense that he'd probably want to put that behind him.

[Blink.] Yes, I mean we can be friends. It's just...no. Wait. Probably not a good idea.

...you seem really nice.

Oh no! Impactor was, uh, he was convicted of selling circuit boosters. But that wasn't the truth.

So, I don't know you. What iteration are you from?

I... I know.

Well that's stupid. Can't feel emotions because you're a Wrecker? You can't stop feeling something.

Ah. But-

You do too. I don't see why not. And you have a cute face.

[ She's just gonna toss that bit in there. You face is very round and adorable. ]

...I don't want to talk about Prowl.

[At all. ]

I can't be repaired. That's the whole reason Prowl recruited me.

[He can't blame you for that sentiment.]

I would rather at least have you go under a physical examination in order to determine that here. If you would have it.

[Is this because he thought you were kind of a hagiographer?]

Up to here or up to back on Cybertron? 'cos I couldn't really tell you what's going on back there, seeing as I kind of left and all.

Overlord kinda... Let's say he did what pretty much everyone expects mechs like him to do and leave it at that. Wasn't pretty. Lot of people got hurt and killed. Not sure what happened to him afterwards. Kinda hoping he's been offlined.

[Maybe a little harsh, but it is Overlord, and Swerve's good attitude does not extend to those levels. He's personable, not insane.]

Congratulations, you were blown up and have entered the afterlife.

Sorry, whatever you were hoping for does not exist here.

I hope you enjoy your stay in hell.

[No, because your explanations are more confusing than trying to explain quantom theory while drunk.]

Either. Because...apparently I missed the rest of the war.

_{I can help with Overlord, maybe}.

I think I'd remember that hurting. [He's not being sarcastic; he's trying to figure it out.]

I don't know what I was hoping for.

I imagine it wasn't death.

Why? What good would that do? Other than have everyone know?

And then start asking questions that I don't want to answer?

I don't think anyone wishes for death.

Just to...not die like a coward.

Personally, I think you shouldn't want either of those.

But dying in general seems like it'd be such a pain.

Medics have something called confidentiality. It would not be public knowledge.

If I am estimating it all correctly, you may not have a lot of time. I am not requiring you to do anything you don't wish to, Ironfist. It's a suggestion, and only that. Not an order.

I don't want it to be anyone's knowledge.

And I know how much time I have left. Better than anyone could. I designed it, after all.

Please. Let that be my burden.

I'm not a very good Wrecker. I wasn't supposed to survive.

[And he won't. Not for long.]

Because, uh, I'm goingtodie.

[There. You said it, Ironfist, and you didn't flip out. Much.]

I- Wh... wha...?

[ Wow she's never felt so upset on behalf of someone she's just met before. ]

But you... we could-

Why?!

...

[After everything that's happened, he really, really doesn't want to do this.

But Ultra Magnus exhales softly.]

All right, Ironfist.

I won't insist.

Are you alright friend?

[Wing should really be in recharge, but with all these new arrivals he's worried and cruising the Link instead. Regardless he has a smile on his face for this newcomer who appears distressed.]

You aren't alone. I know there are mechs here named Perceptor and Springer. I can direct you to them, assuming they haven't found you already?

My name is Wing, by the way.

You are welcome.

What's YOUR name?

[Well. All right. You got the words out, Ironfist. But kind of failed on delivery.]

It's a long story. I'm...uh...sorry?

Oh. I'm, uh, distressingly uninjured.

[Except for the hole in his helm, you know.]

But you never wanted it to be, I bet.
