Please. Stop worrying.

Worrying won't change what will happen. That's just the fact of it. Though, I...

No, I don't want it to be taken away, either.

You're okay?

[thehardway]

...Much to my own surprise, yes.

What do you want?

[weapabilities]

Nothing, I just...

I'll go.

[thehardway]

...

Why did you bring him on board?

[weapabilities]

I thought we could control him. That we could benefit just in case- well. The inevitable, really.

Does it matter? I was wrong. Prowl was wrong.

[thehardway]

No, I suppose it doesn't matter. Motive only impacts a case in order to find the criminal, but we know who that is in this case now.

Yet, I couldn't help but wonder. No, I don't trust you, but Rodimus...

[weapabilities]

I-

Yes. I suppose we do.

I know, we're all very disappointed in me.

[thehardway]

Yes, as a matter of fact, I am. I can only wonder what position this puts him in now.

[weapabilities]

I wouldn't know, given the whole business of being thrown off the ship.

[thehardway]

Frankly, that was too kind of a punishment, as far as I'm concerned.

[weapabilities]

What would have you done? Put me out of my misery?

[thehardway]

Do you think I would have? No. I would have arrested you. If Garrus-9 was still an active location, that would have been preferable.

[weapabilities]

I suppose it would be.

[rungout]

..Things will..they always turn out alright in the end.

[thehardway]

Do they?

In the end, I suppose it doesn't matter. I just... I hadn't expected that--

I wish he hadn't followed me.

[rungout]

You may not see the immediate 'bright side' but..it will come.

I know..but unfortunately known of us can change what happens.

[thehardway]

Then I think you must know that, no matter what happens, I.

I'm sorry.

[rungout]

You have nothing to apologize for, Magnus, so please don't.

You've only ever done your best. I know that just as everyone else does.

[thehardway]

Do they? I'd failed. I have failed at everything imaginable.

[rungout]

Everyone fails, Magnus. No one is perfect; perfection is something I don't think anyone can achieve. But it's what makes us all who we all. Each flaw, each imperfection, each talent, and each thing we are able to accomplish.

So, yes, maybe you have failed, but for every failure you have a success and you keep going. That's why I know the others are aware of how hard you try. Because you always have.

[thehardway]

My successes aren't precisely my own. It doesn't matter anymore, I suppose. I can't go back to what I was.

[rungout]

No, but you'll always be you, Magnus. It doesn't matter what you look like or what others say.

You are still you.

[thehardway]

...Ambus is too weak. That is the fact.

[rungout]

He's only weak because you believe it. I'm weak, and yet here I am.

[flashdrive]

Hey.

Hey.

I know optimism is more Rodimus's thing but, chin up, okay?

[thehardway]

Rewind...

I just wanted everyone to be safe.

[flashdrive]

And I've got a full database backing up that statement.

You're strong, and I don't just mean in brute force.

Tyrest can't take THAT away.
