Tailgate, I offered Megatron my assistance in locating some missing datapads he had stored in our quarters. He seemed to be under the impression you may have some information about what happened to them. Do you know anything about where they may have wound up?

[Oh. It's one thing to lie to Megatron, but another to lie to Magnus.

What is Tailgate to do?]

...No?

I mean, sorry I have no idea.

[ultramatum]

Are you certain? The only ones with access to our quarters would have been you or Sideswipe. Do you know if he has them?

[daintylegs]

He... He doesn't.

[He should just come clean but...]

What would you do if someone did take them?

[ultramatum]

Report them to the proper authorities, the captains or hold workforce officers, and request the return of the stolen items.

[daintylegs]

Aaand if the items in question can't be returned?

[That's a bit of a giveaway, but Tailgate's slowly getting tired of lying.]

[ultramatum]

Why do you ask?

[ That's one way to rouse suspicion.]

[daintylegs]

...

Please don't be mad.

[ultramatum]

[Tailgate.]

I seem to be hearing that from you quite frequently lately. Actions have consequences, Tailgate, and if you want to avoid punishment in the future I suggest you stop acting in a way that would be deserving of it.

Did you take the datapads?

[daintylegs]

Yes.

But I took them for a good reason, I swear! I just wanted to help save the whales and I didn't have anything valuable on me.

[He does sound like he's genuinely sorry, for all that's worth. It may be that he's more sorry that he was caught than he is being sorry about stealing to begin with. Either way, he's upset that Magnus is upset.]

I'm sorry.
