''Fixed Date Index Unknown''

[[Apelinq (BM)|Apelinq]] has found and retrieved his [[Transfer Interlink]] with the antivirus program intact, having nearly risked [[Visitations|an encounter with other Cybertronians on this planet]] to recover it. Their presence on [[Earth|this planet]] poses a curiosity to Apelinq. He will need to further observe them from afar until he can determine who they are.

*[[Apelinq (BM)|Apelinq]] previously lost his [[Transfer Interlink]] and his cure for [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron's]] [[transformation virus|virus]] back in the [[Timewrecked|Journal 15]]. His recovery of both in this journal is meant to tie into the [[BotCon 1998]] script reading "[[Visitations]]", with one of these two belongings intended to be the "artifact" that was the main plot device of that story.

However, of the two items that Apelinq lost and recovered between Journal 15 and this one, it is not precisely clear ''which'' is supposed to be the artifact from "Visitations" (see here for more).

Like in [[The Wait is Over|Journal 10]], this is another sneaky little excuse for why Apelinq never appeared in the onscreen events of the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon despite having been there since midway through Season 2.

===Transformers references===
*The title of this journal entry is an obvious nod to the aforementioned "[[Visitations]]" script reading that this entry and the [[Timewrecked|preceding one]] bookend.
*Apelinq describes the Maximals and Predacons involved in the battle from which he recovered his lost items as "beast warriors", which serves as another obvious hint to [[Beast Wars (event)|where]] and [[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|when]] Apelinq ended up after he traveled back in time.
*Apelinq cheekily describes his current location as "much [[More than Meets the Eye (disambiguation)|more than meets the eye]]," echoing one of the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand's]] oldest marketing slogans.
