Transcript: afternoon, security station B

[giri_guy]

*Clean again on the outside, at least, Rodimus heads down to the security station in Metroplex's head. If this was a prank, it was bordering on not-all-that-funny and needs to be dealt with

*over the comm, faintly worried but doing her best to sound cheerful-* //Hey, Roddy, where'd you get to? You'll shrink if you stay in the bath much longer...//

[giri_guy]

*starts, optics flashing on and tracking around the room guiltily*

*replies quickly* //I - I'm out of the bath.//

[apprentice_lurk]

*doing her best not to sound concerned* //Hoo-flippin'-ray. I was about to send a search team in there, Raiders of the Lost Bath or something.//

*slight, almost hesitant pause* //Where are you?//

[giri_guy]

*weak chuckle* //I appreciate the thought.// *straightens slowly*

*hesitates, then* //I'm on my way back to my office.// *puts the aforementioned footage under triple security lock and erases all indication he'd ever been there before retroactively making the lie true*

[hidden_watcher]

*watches Rodimus, jaw slowly dropping open as he studies the security cam footage over Rodimus's shoulder*

//Scourge to Cyclonus. Have you got a minute?//

[firstlieutenant]

//Cyclonus here. What's the situation, Scourge?//

[hidden_watcher]

//I...// *hesitates* //You need to see for yourself, because it doesn't make any damned sense and you won't believe me if I tell you. Come up to the monitor room?//

[firstlieutenant]

*with just a hint of a wry chuckle in his voice* //Scourge, if you've been unscrambling human television channels again...//

//I'm on my way. Cyclonus out.//
