Hi, what can I help you with?

// DEGAR

Today was gonna be the day, but they'll never throw it back to you. And by now, you should've somehow realized what you're not to do.

Hello, Minimus.

If you're concerned about the price, you're all already paying it. Your price is being here, the time you give. When your regret is undone, it won't cause anything else to happen, because you've already compensated for it.

[legalcy]

Is that really it? Does having this many orbs negate the consequences?

[It sounds too good to be true. It's so little for the price of seeing his brother again.]

Our being trapped in this universe combined with these humiliating tasks are the only price we pay?

[vivecai]

It doesn't negate anything. It's just that you being here creates enough chaos to pay for your regret. When you go back, it will create a branch timeline — I assume you're familiar with the theory?

Do you see now why it doesn't require anything else?

[legalcy]

So then our missteps were part of their plan all along, then.

I'm very familiar. All too familiar, considering we accidentally created one in my home universe.

[vivecai]

Then you know the chaos it brings... and why that is enough as a price.

But I can assure you that it does work.

[ so as long as they're all able to live with giving up their time to be here, to risk their lives on missions, and to drive their own timeline to branch into two upon their regret being undone... then, yes, it will be done. ]

[What is a few years to a Cybertronian? Taking away the orbs from dangerous situations is worth keeping one miserable universe and creating one where Minimus has one less thing keeping him awake at night.]

Thank you, Viveca.

May I ask one more question? Will those of us that come from the same universe return to the same branch, or will we live in our separate realities with our own wishes?

[If either Drift or Rodimus are wishing that their final universe hop worked, then not only will Minimus see his brother again, but he'll be back on the ship, away from his work but back on his lifetime of adventure. Not only will crew will still be together, but he and Megatron can continue what they've finally started.]

[vivecai]

If your wishes are compatible, then it's a possibility.

[ there were no members of the previous team from the same world, so she hasn't seen it happen. ]

[legalcy]

Only a possibility.

[He can't be certain that he will have all the time in the universe afterwards.]

That is all of the questions I had. I look forward to speaking with you again.

[vivecai]

Yes. Unfortunately that is all I can guarantee.
