It was weird as heck that the war was back on, but at least Verity had a way to contact the Autobots again. She missed talking to Impactor and the others when needed, but she at least had Springer now. Although it wasn't just Springer, but her newfound friendship in Stepper as well. Through Stepper, she now had the direct communication to the base and could bug them whenever the heck she wanted.
She just didn't feel like it at first, especially since she was technically retired and all. What fun was going right back into the game after calling it quits?
Eh.. Life got boring.
And so Verity did just that, setting her computer station up so that she could call the hotline to the Jasper base. There was no telling who would pick up on the other side, so it could be fun! Would it be Ratchet? Stepper? Maybe even Prowl? Oh that would be awkward if it were Prowl.. As soon as she was able to, Verity began to speak through the communication channel.
"Hello?! Anyone home? It's your friendly neighborhood Wrecker gal!"

Ultra Magnus had been left in charge of watching the communication systems. Of course, with most of the forces in communication with one another directly, it was a tedious and unnecessary position to be in. He enjoyed busy work, however. It gave him time to focus efforts into trying to run diagnostics on his memory databanks. He was focused on his internal work when a ring from the line caught his attention instead.
He allowed the transmission entry, as it seemed to be an authorized line. The voice was not one that he recognized, and upon her introduction, he was still no wiser to who this may be. He couldn't recall any femmes in his Wrecker team. Perhaps he was mistaken? Perhaps someone identified differently now. Nonetheless, this was not someone he held any immediate memories of.
"This is Ultra Magnus. Please state your designation."

Verity sat back and just waited for a reply, crossing her arms behind her head. Honestly she didn't know if someone would respond right away or who even would answer, but thankfully she didn't have to worry about being placed on hold with some obnoxious hold music.
What caught her off guard was the one who actually did answer her message, and a huge smile grew the moment she realized who it was.
Ultra Magnus!
Uncrossing her arms, the girl leaned forward in her seat as she smiled at her computer screen. Oh, Uncle Mags! There was so much she needed to catch up with him about. Did he know more about this whole 'war that didn't actually end thing' like Stepper had? Surely he did if he was at the Autobot base out. Maybe one day she'd consider paying the base a visit, but right now Springer needed her, and she needed him too.
"This is Carmen Sandiego. I only kid! It's me, Verity! It's been a long time since we've spoken, Uncle Mags! How've you been? Staying out of trouble?"

Uncle Mags. That was a strange phrasing indeed. He did a sweep of his memory banks, searching for anything matching the name Verity Carlo. He found nothing. He'd never encountered someone by that name. Though, it seemed, she was very familiar with him. A furrow of his eyebrows goes unseen by the human on the phone line.
"I have been out of trouble, relatively, yes," he stated, continuing a moment later. "There is a war raging on, so it is difficult to remain fully trouble-free."
There's a hesitated moment. Was he going to lie and pretend he remembered her? Was he going to be upfront and honest that he didn't recall her at all? "How have you been?" It seemed the prior option was resonating better with him.

Verity's smile quickly turned into that of a frown, taking in the mech's words.
Magnus knew about this resurgence in the war too..
Verity bit her lip, glancing aside. It was one thing hearing it from Springer and Stepper, but to hear it from Tall, Blue, and Orderly? It kinda hurt a little more. She had every reason to believe Springer of course, but this felt completely different. After a sigh, she turned her attention back to her screen. At least Ultra Magnus was alright. Was the best that she could ask for.
"Me? I've been alright since you sent me back home after a few failed attempts. Moved out to Alaska and have been living the dream with Springer. That's not even counting the whole fiasco with Tarantulas! Let's just say.. he likes freaky things." The teen chuckled at her own words.
"Do you need me to come back out there, Uncle Mags? Need me to kick Decepticon tail pipe so you can relax a bit? I can't exactly sit by in the middle of nowhere if you need help."
