[Three days have come and gone. Another hail to Wheeljack goes unanswered and he hasn't heard of anyone else managing to contact him yet. It's highly unlikely to be Shockwave now; he'd never kept anyone longer than this and Jazz doubted that he'd suddenly start doing it

Yes? What is it?

We're missing a 'Bot. He went missing four days ago and we've checked all his usual places. It's like he dropped completely off the map.

[Frown.]

Usually when a mech goes missing like this he shows back up in three days. Altered in some way, but they're still here . There's a handful of us he would've told if he'd gotten his exit visa.

[His visor darkens with worry.]

It just doesn't feel right. We think there's some foul play going on here.

So... you want to file a missing person report?

That doesn't seem to warrant all the secrecy, though. And you can submit them to any security station in the Nexus.

Not really, no offense to you, but it seems like most of the Transtech offices are overworked and I don't hold much hopes of them caring about one of us 'offworlders'.

[Jazz sighs.]

I'd really appreciate either being able to look through the surveillance tapes for him or if you'd have someone do it. If we know where he was last... we can keep looking ourselves and not bother you with it.

Hey, Jazz. Got anything yet?

[He wasn't going to hold out for it, but anything would be better than the nothing he had to the moment.]

I couldn't get through Security myself but I talked to Cheetor. He was kind enough to help us out. He suggests, first, to file a missing person report with the security offices.

[Frown]

The last time Wheeljack showed up on surveillance was in Zone Four. [Pause.] Cheetor said it looked like he was trying to avoid the cameras. You know anything about that?

Doesn't surprise me, but that's somethin' then... [Cliffjumper trails off and frowns.] I... didn't think of that, actually. [Well, how long was it since he'd lived in a so-called normal, supposedly functioning society? If ever? Yeah.]

Zone Four? Well, then we've got somewhere to start. [Frown.] Avoidin'..? No, I ain't heard anythin' that could warrant attempting to avoid th' cameras. [Cliffjumper scowls and wondered if there was technically something wrong with wanting to avoid any cameras... The idea of someone, somewhere (wasn't Soundwave enough) always able to see...]

Didn't figure they'd care about a bunch of Off-worlders anyway.

Cheetor said it looked like he was salvaging parts but I don't know why he'd be hiding that. [Frown] Yeah, I'll head there and look around. We might find something there.
