// Wreckers versus Technobots? //
// ... Well, I'm already on my way. We'll get this cleared up soon enough. //

//See why I am hoping he is from a new reality?//
//Take Skyfire or Omega Supreme if you need to.//

//Naw, already on a transport. Should be catching up with them shortly.//

//I'm not sure how close you were to your Twin Twist, but I worked right alongside mine for four million years straight, and your Twin Twist is my Twin Twist right up until the Time Wars. The thing that you need to know about Twin Twist is that he's not very bright, he gets very talkative when he's drinking, and he rather likes drinking.//
Emirate Xaaron hopes that Rodimus Prime understand the implications there.

//Yeah, I know,// Rodimus answers, tone suggesting a faint confusion as to why Xaaron is bringing this up.
Then it hits him.
//Oh. We need to talk, then.//

//You know that the fact that my Matrix contains Unicron is pretty common knowledge in my reality. My... transformations weren't exactly subtle. I'm assuming that's why you brought this up.//

//Well, we could just order him to keep it to himself and hope he does. But that brings up another problem.//
//Like I said, everybody in my time knew. Including the Decepticons. What happens when Shockwave gets someone who knows? Imagine one of the Autobots hearing about it from him instead of us. Think about how he could use that to undermine us.//

//If you explained it to Twin Twist slowly and in great detail, possibly with a flow chart, you probably could get him to keep it to himself. The lad did have to function as a member of commando unit that often undertook secret missions.//
//Does, I suppose.//
//You do have a point. The main question is how do you reveal the matter now without losing trust. After all, since you waited this long to reveal this matter, people will doubtless wonder what else you aren't saying.//
Emirate Xaaron has ideas, old meddler that he is, but he wants to hear how Rodimus Prime is going to handle it, first.

//Well, my first idea is to meet with everyone who knows to talk it over. Possibly bring in Rattrap, since he's the only division head not on that list, possibly bring in the seconds while we're at it.//
So he doesn't already have an idea, but in his own reality, Rodimus wasn't afraid to lean on his advisers. In fact, he tended to intentionally pick staff that made up for his own weaknesses.

//That's certainly one option that bears consideration.//
//An element of the truth may be rather useful here. It is hard to admit that you carry a god who desires the end of all things. How do you find the words? Moreover, we have all been exceptionally busy, and new people are always arriving. How do you pick a time? How do you even find the time?//

// You mean to meet with command staff and tell them? Or to tell everyone? //
// For command staff, we tell them, 'There is a meeting. Be at it,' and then I tell them like I told you. // He sounds a bit confused - to him, it's a straight forward matter, and he was never comfortable with the secret to begin with.
// What are you getting at? //

//I mean to tell everyone. The thing is, we can't tell everyone at the same time. There's always going to be some people standing watches or otherwise unavailable, which makes it rather difficult to pick a time.//

//Well, there's always the database, but not everyone keeps up with that, and... that's not the way to deliver news like this, anyway.//
//The thing is, at this point we're... really lucky that no one's blown this for us already, and I don't think it's a good idea to keep relying on that. But as far as how to tell everyone... well, I wasn't planning to decide that until I heard what the rest of command has to suggest.//
