[Video/Action] [Originating from Solian Temple]

[When Wheeljack awoke, it took a moment for those optics to adjust to the lighting of the temple. He hadn't remembered falling asleep...in fact, he couldn't remember what felt like a significant gap of time. Maybe a few hours? Knowing him, he'd probably had too much high-grade, as Wreckers do, and passed out. But still, why was he here? This wasn't anywhere near the bar, nor would someone just give up when his (and Bulkhead's) room was only around the next couple of corners. That's just plain rude.

But there was something else. Something felt...missing. He couldn't place exactly what, but it sort of chewed at the back of his mind. Figuring it was just him trying to remember the events, he shook his helm and shakily sat upright. Yep, this was the Solian Temple, all right. His eyes didn't lie to him. And he's by the altar too. Just like the newcomers do.

That was...interesting.

He gave his arms a few flexes, making sure everything was still functional before he saw his Link lying next to him. Oh, so they couldn't bring him to his room, but they left his Link just in case he needed it. That was nice. He picks it up and flicks it on, eyes squinting at the light of the screen.]

So...who do I give thanks for takin' me home from the bar?

[Guess who's back, everyone!]

[After that? You bet he's going to. And you're gonna get your own nickname. You'll love it it'll be magical.]

Yeah, got that the first time. Thanks Jeeves.

[The joys of what you pick up from human radios.]

This...Overlord guy. He still around?

Perceptor, actually.

[UNFAZED? Unfazed. He's been called worse lately.]

Mm, in a sense, yes. Commander Magnus subdued him, as I understand it.

Sparky? Sparky got him?

[Call him impressed.]

I'll..have to give my thanks then.

No, Commander Magnus was responsible.

That's what I said.

My little name for him.

Oh.

Well, you didn't specify that.

I'll have to thank him later. Not sure why, but I think it's needed.

...Speakin' of which, don't think we met. I'd remember a vocal signature like that.

[meaning it sounds dumb B(]

Most likely.

Perceptor, as I've said. And no, we haven't. The first time I met you, you were a corpse.

As I also said.

Got it, Percy.

...was I at least presentable?

You're asking me if your mangled, spark-less corpse was presentable?

I've seen piles of rust in better states of deterioration.

Hey, I like ta give a good first impression.

[Aw...there are junkpiles better than he looked.]

Whelp, can't win em all, I guess.

I'm not certain "dying in the course of foolish endeavors" is a good first impression in the slightest. Quite the opposite, I would say.

No. You can't.

Heh, well, it happens when you're a Wrecker.

Actually, it's the definition of one.

And here I'd thought they were a specialized tactics group.

It's pretty remarkable how often those two go together.

Infrequently, in my experience. Commander Magnus tended to run an exceptionally tight crew.

...Magnus.

Magnus ran the Wreckers?

Indeed.

Why else would I refer to him as "Commander"?

Well...Commander of...anything else.

[Wheeljack's line of thought is pretty great, isn't it.]

You know...Commander of regular troops.

Creative of you.

But no, prior to the ah... incident... he was the well-established Commander of the Wreckers. He and his hammer were considered quite formidable combatants.

...Ultra Magnus.

[Sorry he just...can't comprehend this.]

Perhaps you should have your audio receptors checked for damage. I've said so several times.

'Pologies, Percy. Just hard to believe that a rule-follower like Magnus would take command of the squad who operates outside the rules.

I hadn't heard of any such shenanigans occurring amongst the Wreckers I'm familiar with.

...Did you just say 'shenanigans'.
