[ Filtered to Decepticon Officers ]

My name's Gig. I serve aboard the Nemesis in my own dimension, under my Megatron.

There are a fair number of 'Cons running around the place from Pit knows how many dimensions. I'd like to know who is aligned with who, and who is going to be taking charge of the forces in the area. Who is our figurehead here.

[ He laughs awkwardly. ]

Mostly, I want to know how we're dealing with all these Autobots. Whether or not the war is over seems to vary from dimension to dimension, but where I'm from we weren't exactly getting along. I don't want to turn my back and get shot down or something.

[ Public ]

So are the dead... not staying dead now? The only time that happened in my world, Dark Energon was involved, and the mechs affected weren't what you'd call, uh. Well they didn't exactly retain all of their mental faculties from when they were properly alive, y'know? That First Aid guy seemed pretty normal, besides the whole 'was dead' thing.

And... What's with all these guys showing up in the trash heap? Are the temples broken or something?

I still don't understand what happened but I'm glad that they are back.

Dark energon? Explain 'didn't exactly retain all of their mental faculties'.

Wait, so...they really did come back from the dead? It wasn't just a mistake that they were just thought to have died?

...I'm not sure what's going on.

I don't believe there's been an official explanation released yet. Maybe the Firstforged don't even know.

Either way, I can't say I'm upset certain people are coming back from the dead. I just hope it doesn't lead to something devastating. Like a calm before the storm.

If any think they have greater claim than I, I invite them to bring it up with me.

Unfortunately killing them all isn't an option.

Look, I know. I know how it feels to not know if you're gonna get shot at or punched by an Autobot, dude.

But the war ain't gonna progress here. No point. We should live in peace.

Well... Do you know what a zombie is?

Well I figured that much. Especially not if they aren't going to stay dead.

Not everyone seems content to live in peace, though. I mean, that one mech was murdered, wasn't he? Who's to say we aren't next?

There was a police investigation and everything into the murder, so I assume they did confirm that the guy was, y'know, actually dead and everything.

I've never seen good come from the dead not staying dead, but that's just me. I guess so long as it wasn't Dark Energon related it should be fine.

What if the Firstforged know and they just aren't telling us?

You're Megatron, but to a bunch of mechs you're just a Megatron, not their Megatron. Personally? I'll follow you until mine shows up. But I can't speak for everyone.

I know that, I just don't think we ought to be focusing on the Autobots as our enemy. It's more... individualized here.

[He's still looking a little worse for wear - he was only just yesterday dragged back into Haven from . . . things he still can't even remember. Still, his optics are clear and his bearing firm.]

Gig . . . for what it's worth, welcome to Haven. I am Thundercracker. I have aligned myself with the Megatron who is here - [He's not yet aware that there's more than one now, as of the past few days.] - but that was a personal choice. No one can speak for every individual here, among either the Autobots or the Decepticons, but as a whole the war does not exist here and any action of one mech against another is . . . discouraged, regardless of the faction of either side. If there are any here who are leaders, even figureheads, I'd say it's the First-Forged, though they seem disinclined to take a definitive command of us. [For which, frankly, he's glad.]

And . . . what is this about people showing up in the trash heap?

[Again, he's been out of touch for the past week-plus.]

No.

I guess... But then how...? [Because he knows Kagerou had been real, but he'd also been one of the ones they'd said had died.]

I don't know. I've only seen the dead come back once before in my own world, but that was under different circumstances.

Thundercracker. [ A familiar name, at least. ]

That's an issue though, isn't it? Without a unanimous figurehead we're prone to clashing at some point or another. Someone has to take charge.

Recently people have been showing up in the junk yard rather than in the temples. No one seems to know why.

Whether or not we're focusing on the Autobots, we still need someone in charge. If we aren't united then we're going to have outliers acting on their own causing us problems.

It's a dead thing come back to life. Kind of stupid. Generally driven only to attack the living. They don't have any of the personality or intelligence they had in life.

Sounds really really AWFUL I hope we don't get those here. [He's putting two and two together.] The dark energon makes zombies?

If you apply it to the dead, yes.

I've never heard of anything like that where I'm from.

And if you a-p-ply it to the living?

I died.

Now I'm back.

I don't fully understand why either, but the Firstforged have something to do with it.
