[Ironfist taps on the Link device for a few kliks. He thinks he's locked it to Ultra Magnus, but he can't quite see straight so...he fails.]

U-Ultra Magnus. You said to, uh, to contact you if we...if something wasn't right.

[Something's not right, it's clear just from looking at him.]

[Another tapping blindly at the link's controls.]

First Aid? I think....[He looks more than a little contrite] I think maybe it didn't work.

Ironfist? Where _{are you? What's} wrong?

[Video]

[cerebroshellshocked]

[Whu-huh? He locked the feed, didn't he? Ironfist blinks, confused.]

Blurr? I just.

I wanted Ultra Magnus.

[Video]

[raceme]

I can try to get him if you want but _{I'm not sure where he is} YOU LOOK like you need a hand,

[Video]

[cerebroshellshocked]

No. _No. Sorry. It's just...I think I messed up.

I just...he told us to report if things weren't going...uh...normally.

[Video]

[raceme]

Yes I know _{I am} trying to help those who start feeling eh...notlikethemselves..where are you Ironfist? WHAT did you do with First Aid if I can ask?

[Video]

[cerebroshellshocked]

I'm.....not feeling like myself.

[So, yes you. Help. ]

I'm in the Junk Pile. [He'll tap something and hopefully send coordinates.]

Uh...rather not say. It's not important.

[ Oh no no no. ]

But--! I was so sure it worked, you should be fine... You could come back in, and I can do some scans...

[cerebroshellshocked]

[He knew he was wrong to let First Aid get his hopes up.]

I'm....sorry. But I'm not, uh, fine.

...I don't know if that's a good idea.

[lifepersists]

[ Shhh, Ironfist. ]

Okay, I see that. You're not fine. It may be possible I missed something, but...

Please? Why not?

[cerebroshellshocked]

Maybe you shouldn't have, you know, done it. Maybe it needs to be there.

[Some sort of poetic Fisitronic justice or fate or something.]

Because I really feel.......

....[Ironfist? At a loss for words?]

...wrong.

[lifepersists]

Er. But you would have died? Last I checked bullets weren't exactly.... you know, healthy.

Wrong how? Describe your symptoms. Headache? Feeling like purging?

video;

[cerebroshellshocked]

But maybe that's it. Maybe it's supposed to happen and you made it not happen and it's some sort of, you know, time paradox thing and now there's a rift in the time space continuum and....

[He winces in pain, optics flickering.]

I feel....angry.

video;

[lifepersists]

I don't think that is how it works...

[ That's... puzzling. ]

Angry? Angry at what? Are you experiencing any unpleasant memories? Flashbacks?

video;

[cerebroshellshocked]

I don't know how anything works here.

_{or anywhere.}

I...I don't know. [He doesn't have a long history of getting angry. It's a weird feeling.] Maybe it's Aequita.
