[He then pauses again as he realizes his mistake, but holds back a wince even though no one is around to see him]
I did what I thought I had to, Gunmax. I tried the direct approach. I tried going over security footage and publicly available messages on the network, also without success. I needed to try alternative methods.
[His mouth twists, and Deckerd suddenly finds himself wishing again, always, that Yuuta was here. Even if Yuuta wouldn't have been able to say anything helpful and probably would've been about to yell at him too, at least-]
I went to question the Megatron known as Antlers. He didn't do anything to them. And then I came back.
