	As the pair head towards the Thraal embassy, Nautica fills Road Rage in on everything that's wrong with the picture. Obsessed with rank and hierarchy, the local delegate was showing great respect to a low-ranking junior advisor, and her odd goodbye suggested that this advisor was being sent on a journey—a ''final'' journey, even—of great cultural significance. Road Rage wonders if they should get Colonial Security officer [[Hound (G1)\|Hound]] involved, or Sentinel Prime, or even Starscream, but Nautica brushes them all off, one by one. Sentinel Prime is too brash, Hound's good judgement fails in the face of the belligerent Thraal, and Starscream is amoral and self-serving.

	''Nautica remembers her days with the Voin in their verdant aquatic gardens, learning everything she could about their strange culture and ethics, her megacycle with [[Crosscut (~~Autobot~~)\|Crosscut]], negotiating a ceasefire between the Thraal and the [[Occulted Dremden]], and muses that, for her, a life on quiet, static Cybertron just doesn't hold the same appeal that it used to.''		''Nautica remembers her days with the Voin in their verdant aquatic gardens, learning everything she could about their strange culture and ethics, her megacycle with [[Crosscut (G1)\|Crosscut]], negotiating a ceasefire between the Thraal and the [[Occulted Dremden]], and muses that, for her, a life on quiet, static Cybertron just doesn't hold the same appeal that it used to.''

	Nautica's mastery of the Thraal language allows her and Road Rage access to the main embassy aboard the ship, where the Thraal ambassadors to Cybertron are getting ready for the voyage... but the mystery advisor isn't there. Nautica is able to quickly spin the situation and lies that they've merely been sent to confirm the number of Thraal that will be travelling with them; the moment they're out of the embassy, however, Nautica calls [[Lightbright (G1)\|Lightbright]] and asks her to run a scan for any organics outside their usual zones. While they wait for the information, Nautica fills in Road Rage on the Thraal: every so often, the Thraal embassy petitions Sentinel Prime to expel Cybertron's population of [[A'ovan]] refugees, a political move designed to appease the hardline Thraal extremists bent on finishing their extermination of the species.
