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?
[He sighs, still annoyed with this but not really interested in dragging it out longer than it needs to be.]
Tailgate, I don't care why you took them, I just want them returned immediately. I've had many weeks worth of writing stored on those datpads and I'd like to complete what I started.
[Well, looks like the cat's outta the bag, whatever that means.
But this is not going to end well.]
Let's just say that if, hypothetically, I did take your datapads. I'd have probably have donated them to someone else to help save the whales. So, I think it'd be accurate to say that they're not going to be returned. In this hypothetical scenario, that is.
[There's a long moment of silence, where Megatron slowly, carefully cycles air through his vents. His hands are clenched into fists, his face is a tentatively controlled frown. One thing is certain: he's getting too damn old for this bullshit.]
[Tailgate instantly switches to his last line of defense: Tears.]
I'm sorry! But they were asking for things to give the mercenaries and I didn't have anything valuable to give them! Please don't be mad, I just wanted to help.

Date: 2016-03-24 01:59 pm (UTC)So you know nothing of how this happened. Nothing at all.

Have you asked Magnus about them yet? Maybe he knows.

Date: 2016-03-26 10:10 pm (UTC)What is Tailgate to do?]
...No?
I mean, sorry I have no idea.
no subject
Date: 2016-03-26 10:12 pm (UTC)I promise I have no idea where your stupid datapads went to.
[He gives a firm nod, confident he's gotten out of this.]
So is that everything?

Date: 2016-03-27 01:54 am (UTC)My stupid what?
no subject
Date: 2016-03-27 01:59 am (UTC)Your datapads. Those are what were stolen right?
I mean, it's not like you own a lot of things. Process of elimination.

You gave them away?

no subject
Date: 2016-03-27 06:36 am (UTC)And after tormenting that one whale, I figured I owed it to them to help them.
