[VIDEO][001] - Backdated to Magnus' Arrival
[The video feed flickers to life, and despite the commotion, it's very much intentional. For those of you who know Riptide, you can see him frantically trying to escape from two hands that about as big as he is. Finally, one hand seizes Riptide and slams him to the floor. With some stability now, the camera is able to focus on Ultra Magnus. For those of you who don't know him, prepare to be bored. For those of you who do know him, it's possible that he's much much bigger than you remember, having had a few necessary upgrades recently.]
[He clears his vocalizer.]
Attention to all those who receive this broadcast. My name is Ultra Magnus. I have recently come aboard this ship and have been given the position of bailiff and parole officer. Let it be known that I have served as an officer of the law prior to my enlistment aboard the Moira, and as such, I promise that I will treat my duties and responsibilities with the utmost care, respect, and diligence that is befitting the position. I am fair and even-handed, and I look forward to working with all of you and becoming a productive member of the community.
That said, I have in my custody the one known as Riptide. He is a former comrade of mine, who served aboard the same ship as I did. Some of you may know him, and I am obligated to inform you that trusting this individual is a huge mistake. He is, as of now, being apprehended for being an accessory to mutiny.
[If Riptide wriggles, Magnus quickly presses his considerable weight down on him to make him stop.]
As I am still unfamiliar with the ship, I wish to know where the brig is located. I also wish to know everything about the due process aboard, as I intend to have this...this...ne'er-do-well answer for his crimes against his chain of command. In addition, if there are any forms and paperwork associated with the booking of prisoners so that they can be properly processed, I will more than happily fill out any and all necessary forms.
Again, I hope to make your acquaintance and let's all be sure to follow the new rules and expectations set forth by our current caregivers.
Magnus out.

I'd say have a heart-to-heart with Riptide and figure out where he was coming from. You can go from there.
[ Somehow, Snake is giving advice to robots. Why is this his life. ]
Re: [video]
Unsettled.
Riptide wasn't alone in his decision to strand us and stage a mutiny. There were...others. Many of whom I served beside in a war that lasted millions of years. Good friends and comrades. Loyal and trustworthy. I feel...
I do not know how I feel.
[video]
Betrayed, probably.
[ He should know, he's been there. ]
I don't know much about this war or about where you come from in general. But if people who you trusted turned on you all at once, there must have been a reason.
Re: [video]
There were...extenuating circumstances. I could understand to an extent why they did what they did but...
Leaving us all for dead...?
[He sighs.]
My apologies. I am sure this is hardly any of your concern.
[video]
So what are you going to do with him?
[ It might be best to refocus his thoughts onto the future, rather than letting him dwell on the past. ]
Re: [video]
Ask him what we could have done differently. Done better.
Then, it is up for our commanding officers to decide. I enforce the law, but that is as far as it goes.

[ Snake's curious to know how this all turns out, and he plans to question Riptide about it himself when he gets the chance. Obviously that isn't going to happen now, since there hasn't been any sign of him over the course of this conversation. ]
Is enforcing the law part of the job that they gave you here? Or is that just something you're carrying over?
