Autobots, this is Chief Medical Officer Ratchet responding to a request for medical assistance. I'm currently in orbit and am open to suggestions for places to land discreetly to keep your cover intact. Please respond with a location, or a briefing, or both, as soon as possible.

The Forge of Solus Prime. It was found by an alternian here on Earth, who contacted both our forces and the Decepticons, supposedly to force us into a conflict. Successfully, as Commander Arcee determined it was worth the risk of revealing ourself to the local population. We were unable to track down the Forge before being forced to retreat, we can only assume the Decepticons claimed it.
[There's another long pause here, as Magnus sorts through speculation and fact.]
As for the Matrix...we know Megatron was able to steal the Matrix of Leadership from Optimus Prime, which caused the latter to revert to his previous identity as Orion Pax. Orion reported that during his brief stay with the Decepticons Megatron claimed that the Matrix was destroyed, however we doubt that Megatron would have the means or motive to commit such an act. As such, we suspect he still possesses the Matrix.

[Ratchet stops, with an effort--none of this was Magnus' fault.]
Even if he could, he wouldn't have done it. He wants the Matrix for himself too much. But you have to be a Prime to use the Forge--if Megatron has it, all he's got is a really big hammer, even with the Matrix. He's no Prime and he never will be, no matter how many old relics he collects.

We don't know what Megatron would be able to accomplish with the Matrix or how much of its power he may be able to wield. Allowing him to take the Force unchallenged was not a risk worth taking.
If we possessed the Forge it would be to our benefit should the restoration of the Matrix allow Orion the power of the Primes once again.

...how long did Megatron have Orion? [How long did Megatron have to tell him more lies?]

Anything else you can think of that I might need to know?

During the battle for the Forge, it became necessary to assume our primary modes, which effectively revealed our presence on the planet. I will be working with local authorities to try and minimize any impact to our mission, however this planet has not had much benevolent experience with alien species. Convincing them are mean their people no harm may prove difficult.
Also we have lost contact with Rodimus. He likely remains on-world but he has not been responding to radio contact and no one has seen him in weeks.
[He sounds more frustrated than worried. With Rodimus it was impossible to tell if he was actually in danger or if this was just an act of disobedience.]

[Ratchet pauses, his lips thinning.]
I wish I could say I was shocked, but I'm not. We'd likely have heard about it if he was injured, and if not, he'll come home when he's hungry. It doesn't sound we can waste personnel or risk blowing our cover worse to do a search.

Send word when you are preparing to land, we'll have Arcee as stable as possible if you need her moved from the Rod Pod.
