thisavrou | TEXT [AUGUST 28TH, EARLY MORNING]

Hi all, just some quick housekeeping:

I've doubled the security on the Mako. Fair warning: any attempts to hack its console will result in consequences. This is not a challenge! If you need it for anything, please get in touch with me first.
It seems I'm your new Assistant Head of Tower duties, with Ryuuzaki functioning as our Head. I'm looking forward to working with all of you from here on out.
I've already spoken with Ryuuzaki regarding my transfer from Engineering to Assistant Head of Tower duties, but I still haven't managed to locate how I was approved and placed in the role in the first place, as it was an application process. If anyone has an idea, please let me know.
I was absent for a month in cryosleep, so my apologies for not being completely abreast of every on-board situation for the time being. Unfortunately, I have nothing new to add to cryosleep: I don't know what brought it on, I didn't go anywhere, and I don't know what stopped it.

To all crew old and new, feel free to message me with questions at any time, or stop by Mero Deck #022 for a chat. Or while the doors are still portaling, walk through my room unexpectedly.

What? Why would you think I'd died?

M35 Mako, an infantry fighting vehicle. It's mine. It's down in the hold.

I can't believe you thought I died! There's not even any precedent for that here!

oh cool can i drive it BECAUSE LIKE BAD STUFF WENT DOWN AND YOU WERENT AROUND SO I FIGURED WELL HEY SHES PROBABLY GONE FOREVER

I'm reasonable certain you wouldn't fit in the driver's seat.

Even for the Moira, that's a hell of a dark assumption to make on the fly! Didn't you think to ask anyone? Check the register? Purple means cryo, Sideswipe!

psh i could try LOOK THERE WAS A LOT GOING ON LIKE HALF THE BOTS HERE DECIDED TO GO ON A MURDER PARTY INVOLVING RIPTIDE I WAS KINDA BUSY!!!!!

I'll allow for one try.

And please elaborate on "murder party".

why just 1 ok so some big angry blue guy showed up and was all I HATE RIPTIDE HE SUCKS HES EVIL and tried to do a murder i tried to choke him but he was big so didnt work

Pretty sure one is all we'll need.

Right. Then what?

u just dont believe in me then uh then everyone got mad because i told them to leave riptide alone because WOW HEY HES BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH but Ultra Smugness said they were gonna leave him alone for a week or something im guarding him riptide not ultra jerkness

I believe in you plenty. I just don't believe in the ability of my infantry vehicle to hold an entire Sideswipe in its driver's seat. Maybe half a Sideswipe.

Okay. So what did Riptide do, exactly, from their point of view?

r u calling me fat uhm they said he did a mutiny and people got hurt but he doesn't remember it because it hasnt happened yet for him and look if it hasnt happened yet then it MIGHT NOT HAPPEN right i mean hes not there yet he could just stay here with me and be cool forever and not do that but they didnt listen to anything like that they just got mad at him and me and dont be mad at him please im really tired of people i liked suddenly hating him

Husky. Big bolted.

I'm not going to get mad at Riptide. And I agree with you.

ouch what you do ??

Yup. 100%.

thats thats really good to hear

Not a popular opinion?

nuh uh im childish or biased or something stupid because i believe hes not a bad guy bad guys dont save me from scraplets and people attacking the ship

I agree.

But at the same time, remember what I said about seeing things from other people's points of view?

Sometimes, you have to do that for people you don't like, too. This event has happened in their timeline, and they're still hurting from it. Both what you and they are feeling is the truth, but they do have to realize that this isn't their Riptide.

Not sure how much help I'd be if the Cybertronians got into a serious firefight, but let me know if you ever need any help. Angry people can be the hardest to convince.
