re_alignment | AUDIO;

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.

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

I was _{trying to keep the investigation of} First Aid's murder as a secret, Ultra Magnus. [:|]

Seen a doctor yet?

What is to be kept secret? I suppose that the murderer would assume that I would do nothing?

I don't see how that question is relevant, Starscream.

You're using audio, you went a round with Overlord, somebody got murdered.

Five'll get you ten you're not getting patched, second-in-command.

Hn. [That's one thing he could say for certain, that Starscream is sharp and pays heed to these sorts of things.

And it's annoying.]

I patched myself of anything life-threatening and anything leaking. It can wait.

You aren't concerned, of course.

Hey, sir? Why do the rest of you have places to stay and we don't? Well, not including me since Swerve is letting me stay with him but even he had a room and everything.

I'm trying to find that out, Tailgate. I will tell you when I know.

[you know that tone when someone is stressed and is doing an admirable job of hiding that, but a little bit still comes through?]

And what would they be?

[Oh, he knows that tone well.]

Vector Prime, I assume. Thank you for your time.

I have several. I will get to the point.

Can you explain the unusual circumstances about the arrival of these people with no glyph? Why can they not be allowed inside of the temples?

Why don't they have a glyph?

Correct.

[he's quiet for a moment...and when he speaks, he does not sound...happy.]

I would consider the sudden surge of energy from the Badlands answer enough. Even if it has stopped, its true purpose has been revealed.

I'm not going to get in trouble for staying with Swerve in a temple, am I?

So you say, but it seems I could use the clarity.

I'm not sure. But I won't reprimand you, and I will do what I can to make sure you're safe.

It wasn't Calling for you. It was Calling for reinforcements. We are facing another assault, quiet as it seems for now. It is only a matter of time.

[somebody is very unhappy about the state of things]

So the sound we kept hearing, trying to draw us to the Badlands -- it was Calling.

We should expect an attack of some kind?

This is all really weird...

Thanks, Magnus.

We are all but infested with Glyphless and you ask-[okay he takes a moment to tone down the indignant part of him. CALM, COMPOSURE...]

Yes.

I'm aware of the unusual circumstances.

...It's nothing.

Infested?

...Are you talking about the arrivals with no glyph?

Precisely.

That must be a mistake. Many of them would not attack us, Vector. They're--

[Some of them are a friend.]

Many are my crew. Some various versions.

No, no. Not concerned, nothing like that.

Did kinda promise Vandal we'd find who offlined First Aid, though. I know, I know, don't make promises you can't keep...

They seem harmless now, but make no mistake; it is the Glyph, the Mark of Primus that seperates you from the ones that were brought here by Unicron's direct influence. However some of you...act, you are still comparitively safe.

The Glyphless, all, in time...they all turn.

[another pause.]

I am...sorry. It would be best to put them down before they go mad. I am uncertain why Prima has not called us to, already.

Then I fail to see the point of you mentioning my injuries.

I never make promises. Only truthful statements.
