To all of the new refugees:

I am Ultra Magnus. Second-in-command of the Lost Light, the duly appointed enforcer of the Tyrest Accord, second-in-command of the local law enforcement of this Cybertron, and one of the members of the law committee.

Many of you are arriving with concerns and questions, naturally. We understand; many of us are here to assist you. Should you find your questions unanswered, I will attempt to guide you. However, I will admit, there are many things I don't yet know, but I will work to find you an answer. The circumstances of your arrival have been curious. [And worrisome.]

Wing and Drift are offering a location for your temporary stay. Perhaps we could work on something slightly more personable for you in the future. That can be a project worth arranging if Haven's Hub does not have enough space.

To remaining citizens:

Blurr has begun a memorial service in regards those lost to us and the dead. If you wish to pay your respects, perhaps you should observe what he's done.

I am aware of First Aid's murder. I will investigate. I will find who was responsible. And they will be brought to justice. This is not a promise, it is a fact. A truth.

I request that you remain as helpful and welcoming to our new arrivals as much as you can be.

[Private to: FIRSTFORGED]

I have several questions, should any of you be available.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I do understand.

And, whether I like it or not, you are part of the law committee.

Overlord tortured Perceptor, as you know. Perceptor was -- may currently still be -- without optics, arms, or legs when I saw him last. Others were maimed or slaughtered. Kagerou, McCrane, Fracas, and Wheeljack were all killed. When I confronted Overlord, I had assistance from Optimus Prime and Drift to a degree. Optimus was able to bait Overlord, and Drift was targeted on Perceptor's rescue.

Thereafter, I attacked Overlord directly. I took him down with Blurr's stasis cuffs when I had the opportune moment.

...Overlord baited me to kill him. Obviously, I did not.

[listens in silence, nodding along though it's not obvious from the audio.]

Anyone else would have really fragged him up.

I know.

[Magnus wanted to.]

So what's your opinion on the newbies?

Specify.

You think it's a good idea to keep a closer eye on them or the --[damn there's no way to lock this from the Firstforged] ...or our - erstwhile keepers. Because somebody here isn't in control of the situation and I would rather it not be us.

I'm not asking them direct. Mostly because I don't like having to patronize them.

I am more concerned about the Firstforged.

[He doesn't care if they see it, really.]

Point taken.

We'll need a contingency plan.
