I have made a decision to assist this Astrotrain with his studies of the space bridge. I will die. Already have, by the time you receive this. I am sorry that this will cause you more pain that you do not deserve.

[A moment of silence, before she quietly calls him the private name she had given him when they were young, a name that belonged to him alone and not a distant figure who loomed over his life]

Updraft... I have been happy. No matter what follows, I had more time with you.

And if I do not return from this... I will look for you, where our people have gone.

[as much as primal would, on some level, like to avoid opening this message and not have to accept the reality of what she's said, he forces himself to the moment he gets it. airazor does not deserve him hiding from this.

combined with what happened to optimus on the mission, primal is not all that ashamed to admit to himself that he finds this very, very difficult to cope with. he manages, because he always does and it's his duty to, but... it is painful, almost moreso than her first death was. the usage of his old name, the mention of their people. the fact he got more time with her when rhinox and cheetor and all those they have lost deserved to see their comrade moreso and primal failed to protect her again. the fact that if she does return, then this could just happen again and again and again.]

Message me when you return.

[he wouldn't like to use text for this, but does for likely the same reason she does: it's too difficult to say aloud. he tries, but his voice box won't work with him and keeps crackling.]
