To those unmarked, I know that, likely, several of you are concerned about your status in matters. What will happen.

I cannot offer you words of comfort, but I will say that the moment you feel different, that you do not feel like yourself, do not hesitate to call for assistance. Your faction will not factor in.

I know I can't speak for the entire police force, but I will speak for myself.



[PERCEPTOR]

You have been recovering well?

I saw. [Regretfully spoken.]

audio

[sciencetank]

Who on Cybertron told him what you heard?

audio

[thehardway]

The Firstforged are not precisely keeping it so discreet, I presume. But I have only told a few individuals.

audio

[sciencetank]

Oh, of course they aren't. Primus' rusted pelvic pistons, of course they aren't...

And I've told none.

audio

[thehardway]

How they handle the matter is their own business. It's up to us to keep order.

I expect that you did not.

audio

[sciencetank]

Their inciting panic hardly helps us 'keep order'.

Your faith in me is staggering, Commander.

audio

[thehardway]

I am immensely aware. If you'd like, perhaps you can inform the Firstforged of their course of action, though I doubt it'd get you anywhere.

I'm certain.

audio

[sciencetank]

You're suggesting that I inform a group of individuals many regard as 'godlike' that their actions are neither helpful nor warranted?

audio

[thehardway]

If that's what you wish to withdraw from my statement.

audio

[sciencetank]

It is. But I never said that was in any way a deterrent.

audio

[thehardway]

I think that we are effectively on our own with this choice.

audio

[sciencetank]

Something tells me we've been on our own the entire time we've been here, to be honest with you.

They do seem rather unconcerned for our well-being, considering the overall lack of response on their part to the entire 'Overlord Incident'. If they truly are beings of substantial power and knowledge, as they claim, why do nothing?

audio

[thehardway]

I can't claim to know how they work nor understand. We are technically uninvited guests; they are not responsible for someone that was never supposed to be here.

audio

[sciencetank]

If we're so blasted uninvited, why on Cybertron aren't they working to send us back to where we came from?
