Holi doesn't look up from the panel in his forearm until he's sure things look stable. Keeping all his attention on his equipment means he misses a lot of what's going on over his head, including that odd look from Ultra Magnus.
"It should be, sir," he answers Emirate Xaaron. Not that he's detecting any outgoing signals from the big white Autobot, either, but better safe than sorry.

When truly motivated, Perceptor is nothing if not efficient, even if he will never be ruthlessly so. Sorry Xaaron. He just cannot be your Perceptor no matter how much you may wish that her were. He is simply from a soft, kinder, gentler reality where the children expected the good guys to be wholesome and good and death was always off screen or vague - unless it's important for the plot - so that young minds could misunderstand or not notice just how terrible the world really can be sometimes. Heck, one of the main reasons he'd never been used for a cute little PSA is because he'd never have been able to dumb down his speech enough for the kiddies!
At any rate, Perceptor doesn't linger over his work, crimping off or sealing up only the most serious of leaks and shorts as he swiftly checks through all of Magnus's systems and structures before straightening up again.
"I have not detected any significant explosive devices or other hazards to this ship," he declares. "I will require the equipment of the medical bay to conduct a more detailed and thorough examination, however." That he'll conduct the necessary repairs in the process should go without saying.
Well, unless he gets booted off the job by Xaaron or someone superior, that is. Even then, he'll request permission to go back over every circuit and system within Ultra Magnus when whoever else has completed their work, just to be certain that the white mech is both truly repaired, and truly free of any... interference... from Shockwave.
Perceptor does not trust that devious cyclopean militant any further than he could pick up the Event Horizon and throw it.

"Of course," Ultra Magnus says to Rodimus, optics dimming. The exhaustion is catching up with him in earnest and he'll be glad for any real rest he might find. Even in a holding cell. So when Perceptor pronounces him clean of explosives, Magnus heaves a relieved sigh he didn't realise he's been holding. One concern quelled.
He looks from Perceptor to Grimlock – and what an eerie sight the Dinobot is – then Kup and Rodimus, pointedly averting his gaze from the Micromaster standing far too close.
"Whenever you're ready, then," he says.
OOC: Thread nearing wrap-up?

"I'm more than ready," Rodimus says, jerking his head towards the segment of the Event Horizon that lies near them. Then he turns to walk towards it, though he stays close enough to catch Ultra Magnus should he fall over.
Kup, also, accompanies the group in. He gives Magnus a bit more distance, however.
OOC: Good with me. Consider my characters out of it if everyone else boards the ship.

Perhaps Emirate Xaaron notices that falter in Mirage's step when Emirate Xaaron explains how build a do-it-yourself police state. Perhaps Mirage is just tried, but perhaps...
...perhaps Mirage will lip off a little less about Emirate Xaaron's love life and the lack thereof and save his wit for those times when Emirate Xaaron's judgement really is questionable. Emirate Xaaron likes those who have the spirit to tell him he's wrong, but if they do it all the time, he might tune them out when he needs to hear it the most.
He replies, sounding very tired, //Figures. Idle hands are the tools of evil, but one cannot expect evil itself to be idle. They have to be interested in the fates of Cybertron and Unicron, but beyond that, what they're up to is rather more your field.//
Emirate Xaaron reviews the situation. Perceptor, who owes Shockwave a favour, practically leapt to be the one who vets Ultra Magnus for bugs.
If that doesn't stink, Nightbeat's a dame.
However, Rodimus Prime there, who he has ordered along, ostensibly as escort, is a competent medic and a very bright boy - a bright boy who has been burned by a Shockwave's tricks before. Let's see if Shockwave can slip one by Rodimus Prime again. Emirate Xaaron is betting he can't, at least not so easily. Perhaps under other circumstances, and he won't rule out now, either. Unlikely is not ruled out.
Holi, working the jamming field, also has no reason to be under Shcokwave's thumb.
Kup, another escort, should be clean, for a certain value of clean that includes 'muddy'.
Mirage is from Shockwave's past, which may mean some troubling link, but...
...Emirate Xaaron will worry about it later. Hands folded behind his back, he follows the group in.
OOC: Sounds good!
