[ Hello giant robot on screen trying not to look worried and failing miserably. ]

Hi there, uhm. Has anyone seen Wing around? He wasn't there when I woke up today and I can't seem to get a hold of him. It's not like him to just run off.

If anyone knows anything, please tell me.

Wing is hard to miss, he's the only other person here who looks like me.

Um. Thank you. Thanks.

All right. I'll be outside the remains of my garage if you want to take me.

Remains...? It got hit, huh? Okay, I'll be by to pick you up.

It was hit fairly hard, yes. And I'll see you then.

[He's waiting, his repair kit slung over his back)

[ A while later, Drift trundles up in vehicle mode. He looks like he's running rough to say the least. ]

Hop in.

... Have you been staying here? With it all destroyed like this?

I sleep in my assigned room. I've just been here most of the day trying to repair it.

[He climbs in with a quiet sigh]

I know you'd do anything to save a friend---anyone would---but I hope we don't reach a point where I have to save you too.

Did you... want some help? Or maybe a better place to stay in the meantime?

[ He takes off, a little slower than usual. ]

Don't worry. I'm hard to kill. Took an explosion pretty well, didn't I?

My apartment's fine, don't worry.

[Billy worries, though, watching out the window for signs of Wing.]

Yeah. That's what I'm concerned about, actually. Are you sure you addressed the damage?

Okay. I can still help you build, though.

[ He turns out towards the city limits. ]

Yes. Some people did a crude patch job during the whole mess and my internal repair system has been sussing it out bit by bit.

If you'd like me to work on it I will---but let's see if we can't find your friend first.

What's your field of vision at the moment?

Yeah. One thing at a time, right?

I'm scanning for his comm signal, energy signature, everything that sets him apart from everyone else here.

So far I've not picked anything up. I figure I can sweep further and further out from the city, because he's definitely not local.

All right. Don't worry, I can take this for a while.

[He adjusts his own scanners in the hopes of helping, watching with his eyes of course.]

I hope he's here.

Let me know if you want to go back.

[ Humans can't go as long as Cybertronians can. Just a plain fact. ]

Me too.

[He's in this for the longest he possibly can, tightly gripping the door as he looks.]

Where might he go? Did he say anything that suggested he needed space, or to leave?

He sometimes went flying but never that far. He'd have told me. He was right next to me when we went to sleep. I don't know how I didn't notice him leaving...

Sometimes abductions by these places can be like that. It seems likely that he was teleported back...

[Billy sounds sad, but that doesn't mean he's giving up. He clings to the door and keeps looking.]

[ That gets a sad whine from his engine. ]

Do you think so? I really hope that's not the case...

I hope it's not either, but where else could he go?

He wouldn't risk infiltrating the UE, would he?

I don't know...

You know. I'd like to say he's not that foolish but. He totally is.

Are we going to follow him out on a hunch?

Not out there. I wouldn't put you in danger.

[ But he would totally go by himself. You're probably stopping him from getting himself killed, Billy. ]

Would you go on your own, though?

There has to be an easier way to check. I'm still looking through the tablet and thinking.

I don't know. Maybe.

I was told to maybe wait a while and see if his user account disappears but I don't really feel like waiting if it's something worse.
