Autobots - you will begin a mandatory training routine starting tomorrow at 0600 hours. We will be gone for approximately three hours or more. Plan accordingly, and bring fluids to keep hydrated.

[The message comes with a handy reference document he found in the Library. Looks like someone's been doing their research on human health.]

[And yes. He's starting this on a Monday.]

Any Chosen who wish to accompany them are welcome to do so, but I expect you to be timely.

[A pair of coordinates are attached to his message, leading to the hilly area just outside Terminal. Don't worry, they'll get to the staggeringly painful mountains after some practice.]

[Magnus nods. He'll be expecting you there, Bulk.]

[Oh. You had to bring up the noir thing.]

Any changes to me were aesthetic only, but Wheeljack and Arcee were behaving strangely.

[He wants to check up on family. Since he went unaffected too. Except for Boulder getting a random hat.

He looks a little confused, though, at Magnuses words.]

Arcee was? She was fine when I talked to her. Didn't talk to Jackie. [Maybe he should have.]

[shoulderpads]

Yes. She was affected when she entered a cafe.

[He'd rather... not go into the details. They did a Chapter 9.]

The two have returned to normal.

[neverputincharge]

Huh, she told me to stay indoors. Maybe she shoulda listened to her own advice.

[Good, cause he doesn't want to know. The color thing was weird enough. But noooo, not a chapter 9. That's the worst.]

Alright, good to know.

Thanks, sir.
