Well the timing of when you left to "check on Ratchet," who was being well cared for by the medics, was awfully convenient for you, and while I did complete the investigation myself it would have gone a lot smoother if you had assisted with removing the interfering parties beforehand. Unlike Ultra Magnus, I'm not exactly a match for a dinobot. You could have at least removed Grimlock from the scene first.
[He smacked the datapad irritably.]
This wasn't an investigation, or an interview. This was cursory information gathering which I did of my own initiative in an effort to better familiarize myself with the crew. I didn't have the benefit of previous relationships with a third of them like you did. I had to start from scratch. Every official document I have ever prepared for this office has been thorough, exact, and accurate.
[A scoff.]
Perhaps not formally, but it's evident the Autobots on this ship view you as an authority and respect you more than the rest of us. Do you have any idea how long it has taken for the crew to be willing to come to me with concerns when you're unavailable? How infuriating it has been that no one takes me seriously here? Even my rank of 'prime' is treated as nothing more than a curiosity, a rank I worked hard to achieve in my universe and not something that is lightly earned.
