[Magnus gives him a sad look. All those days of teaching him to be an Autobot, and this is what Tailgate does? Lie and deflect responsibility?]

Could you please offer a statement that will go on record?

[daintylegs]

... Er....

[Oh no.

Not a sad look!]

[legalcy]

[He has his datapad out, get going Tailgate.]

Yes?

[daintylegs]

Um.

[He shrinks away, his previous confidence suddenly gone.]

[legalcy]

Tailgate? [tap tap tap of the pen.] I need to hear it from you, from the start.

[Even though it will break his heart.]

[daintylegs]

Okay, fine! I did it!

But it was an accident, I swear! I didn't mean to blow anything up!

[legalcy]

[Wow, somehow he confessed? Wonder how that happened.]

An accident? Were you playing with chemicals?

[daintylegs]

We were...

Uh.

Trying to make a game console.

It didn't go very well.

[legalcy]

[He leans over.]

A small machine did that?

[daintylegs]

Well.

I may have poured some of the same magical stuff I made those cookies out of in there.

You remember.

[legalcy]

...You put food into a machine?

[wait]

That's right, you took away my ability to speak!

[daintylegs]

Tee hee, yeah.

It was funny.

[legalcy]

It was not.
