[thanksoptimus]

FROM: optimus.prime@cdc.org

I was concerned for a moment that you may have been referring to your frog.

FROM: optimus.prime@cdc.org

As the dead thing, I mean.

FROM: optimus.prime@cdc.org

I have never met anyone named "Jerry" but it sounds inoffensive, unless there is something I do not know.

FROM: optimus.prime@cdc.org

How large of a body can he eat?

[goodjob]

Hey, big guy.

FROM: stark.anthony@cdc.org

Hypothetically speaking: how willing would you be to go back underwater?

FROM: stark.anthony@cdc.org

Or not so hypothetical because I'm asking you.

FROM: stark.anthony@cdc.org

Mom asked me to collect mineral samples from the southern part of the strait. And she wants me to do this with a handpicked group.

FROM: stark.anthony@cdc.org

You're on my list. Report back if you're interested.

[thanksoptimus]

FROM: optimus.prime@cdc.org

What type of mineral samples?

FROM: optimus.prime@cdc.org

Though I do believe I am available to assist.

[Anything to keep him busy, really.]

[runsonbatteries]

FROM: stark.anthony@cdc.org

Seafloor massive sulfide deposits.

FROM: stark.anthony@cdc.org

Found them in a thermal vent in the southern part of the strait. They're commercially valuable.

[thanksoptimus]

FROM: optimus.prime@cdc.org

Are we being given mining equipment?

[runsonbatteries]

FROM: stark.anthony@cdc.org

Considering that's what they're sending us down there to do? I think so.

FROM: stark.anthony@cdc.org

And Mom already made me ask for the stuff.

[thanksoptimus]

[Very soon after arriving on board, Optimus opted to go into jeep mode and park himself in the hangar bay, and has done very little since then. It takes an unusually long time for him to work up the energy to reply.]

FROM: optimus.prime@cdc.org

I am intact.

[thanksoptimus]

[He notices her incoming message, even mid assault on the hangar. He guesses he's been paying attention, out of vague lingering hope. He had thought very heavily about messaging Fiona in the harsh moments he had to do so, but he had refrained as to not incriminate her by association.

But with her contacting him, he couldn't stand to remain silent, even if he is in the process of trying to commandeer a vessel. He switches it translate text from spoken word.]

FROM: optimus.prime@cdc.org

That was me, Fiona.

FROM: optimus.prime@cdc.org

Do not follow.

FROM: optimus.prime@cdc.org
