I... apologize for my disappearance. I'm afraid I was rather preoccupied with a very distracting task.

Yes. So.

I will scan the Link and catch up shortly, but I'm afraid I will need to be debriefed. If someone could do that.

That would be. Good.

You're splendidly unhelpful today, commander.

Regardless... yes, I've been working on a sort of self-defense module. Something like a cross between a firearm and a net, so to speak. Not enough to kill an individual, but, theoretically, it should cause enough of a disturbance in vital systems so as to incapacitate for a time. Buying the victim time enough to flee the scene and find safe haven.

It is statements like that in which most would find provoking.

[Not Magnus, because his field of fucks is always barren.]

Hopefully, that will work against Tarn. He isn't your typical Decepticon, from what rumors I've heard.

[Pause.]

I can't imagine why anyone would think that...

[FORGING ON.]

But, please, tell me what you've heard. At this point, rumors are preferable to working utterly blind.

[SIGH.]

Mostly? That most captive Decepticons would rather I kill them rather than let them potentially become captured by the Decepticon Justice Division. Rumors of how they are executed are not exclusive to Tarn; Tarn himself is a bit of a mystery. I know he has a tank vehicle mode, but that is sincerely all I know. Frankly, I know a bit more about his teammates than Tarn himself.

Hm. A tank...

I can work with that. Of course, it requires a good deal of self-testing, but! That's science for you.

Would it be too much to ask that you don't make it too risky?

... Define "too risky", Commander.
