[Riptide has gotten too complacent. At some point, he leaves his habsuite, acting as if he were not involved in a recent explosion, and Ultra Magnus quickly steps in front of his pathway.
He looks down at this aquatic disappointment.]
What did you hope to accomplish with that stunt of yours?
[he looks up at magnus and feels something in his spark sink. that's a new feeling. the fact magnus showed up and not minimus kind of hurts, too. that's how he knows he's really in the shit.]
I spent this afternoon putting aside my other plans to check the damages and find the responsible parties. This investigation will conclude swiftly if you come with me. [And then Minimus can get back to doing other things hopefully before bedtime.]
[Who are you, his boyfriend? Flattery has no effect on Minimus, and he unceremoniously slaps the handcuffs onto Riptide.]
You have the right to a fair trial. We will discuss your involvement at the interrogation room. [He hooks a hand under Riptide's arm and leads him away. It's a long road to the security office, and Magnus sure isn't starting a conversation, not when he's the officer.]
But the public walkway isn't the place for an interview, so Magnus leads Riptide into an interrogation room in silence. At least one guy came in of his own volition.]
Hey, no! Setting up implies I was doing it on purpose, and bomb implies that's what it was meant to be from the beginning! I resent that! I'll have you know it was neither of those things.
[he leans back in his chair, crossing his arms.]
I don't remember how any of it went down, but Drift had nothing to do with it!

Quite a number of us were terrified for our lives, and our schedules were interrupted.

[relenting, though, he stops trying to close the door and stands dramatically so minimus can put handcuffs on him.]

For the record, it was an accident.

[If this conversation must go in circles, let it be. Riptide isn't convincing Magnus.]
How did it explode accidentally?

Would Tailgate or Drift know? The former was caught on camera.

Nope!

I will speak to them later.
You will stay here for the night.
