I was a member of Autobot High Command for the duration of the war. Chief Strategist. I operated under Optimus, naturally.

[ he certainly sounds imperious enough to do a lot of relentless ordering around. ]

Though, I suppose my more relevant experience would have been before the war, as a detective for the Mechaforensics Division in Iacon. I do have a fondness for analysis, you could say.

[intelligenceofficer]

Under Optimus. Of course.

[ The fact Optimus was the commander of the Autobots was still baffling. The version of Optimus on the ship wasn't exactly convincing him why that would be the norm for other universes. ]

Thank you. I was correct not to assume similarities, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't surprised by the differences. You're far more accomplished than the Prowl I'm familiar with. It actually sounds like your position was rather similar to my own, actually.

I look forward to working with you.

[pffft]

Likewise, I find your company quite tolerable.

[This is a compliment by Prowl standards.]

I am curious to hear of your background. Of all the Primes in our history records, none of them had your name.

[intelligenceofficer]

Yes, well, for starters "prime" is a rank in my universe, not some mystical leadership title. From what I've been hearing that isn't common. It's a commander position, reporting directly to the Magnus.

I'm Chief of Intelligence on Cybertron. My division gathers intel on Decepticon activities, oversees covert operations, and advises the high council.

[pffft]

I see. Your assumptions of our similar roles would be correct, then.

[Making note of all of this. Now, onto the first order of business: ]

Has Magnus spoken of the nudge gun to you? It is imperative that it be destroyed immediately. Such weapons must not be allowed to exist, much less once they're exposed to the public.

[intelligenceofficer]

Yes, I'm taking steps to gather the requisite equipment. I'll call you as soon as I have everything ready.

I've never heard of something like this nudge gun before. Is it common in your universe? Something we need to watch for?

[pffft]

No, mind-altering weaponry such as that is exceedingly rare. They are in violation of the Code of Interplanetary Conflict.

It is rather notable if you happen to come across one.

[intelligenceofficer]

That's good to know, though it does beg the question how Getaway wound up with a weapon like that in the first place. I've read your Autobot Code. The implications are troubling, and I can see why his presence caused such a stir with the rest of the crew.
