Prime out.\u201d The call ended. Optimus started planning. If Nemesis Prime used the&nbsp;<em>Nemesis<\/em>&nbsp;to attack G.U.N, the&nbsp;<em>Ark<\/em>&nbsp;would have a harder time fighting it. The ship wasn\u2019t designed for combat in a planet\u2019s atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPrime, you may want to come here,\u201d called Jazz, snapping Optimus out of his thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat is it?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSomething\u2019s up with Blackarachnia,\u201d replied Jazz. \u201cShe\u2019s gone cutesy, yet psychotic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;I\u2019ll be right there,\u201d answered Optimus as he terminated the call. He left his office and found Blackarachnia in a holding cell. Something was&#8230;off. She still had black paint, but her trim was pink instead of gold and her joints were white instead of purple. \u201cWhat the?!\u201d spluttered Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNEMMY!\u201d cheered Blackarachnia. \u201cOh, I am SO relieved to see you! Talk some sense into these bullies! They do nothing but ask me questions that I don\u2019t know the answer to!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe were testing out the new Ground Bridge range,\u201d explained Jazz. \u201cBlackarachnia had altered the range equations a bit and increased the Energon efficiency so we could reach farther, at least half way to the moon. Just as we turned it on, that solar storm hit us, messing up the Ground Bridge. She was caught in the after-effects and turned out like this. Ratchet had detected a particle trace similar to the one that Nemesis left when he went through the barrier separating our universes. So, either Blackarachnia\u2019s been affected by those particles or&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis isn\u2019t OUR Blackarachnia,\u201d finished Optimus. \u201cWell, a simple test will help.\u201d He turned to the cell and drew out a card. \u201cDo you know what this is?\u201d he asked Blackarachnia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Looks like a cute princess!\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;It\u2019s Dark Magician Girl,\u201d corrected Optimus. \u201cYou were the one who introduced me to&nbsp;<em>YuGiOh<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo, I didn\u2019t!\u201d protested Blackarachnia. \u201cThat sounds WAY too human! Icky!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat ain\u2019t our Blackarachnia,\u201d guessed Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo, it ain\u2019t,\u201d confirmed Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Where was Mobian Blackarachnia? She was being picked up by a darker looking Jazz. She looked around to see that she was in a castle with purple Autobot symbols all over the walls. The Autobots were in a darker color palette, almost similar to hers. \u201cReport,\u201d demanded the darker Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, I feel&#8230;fine,\u201d ventured Blackarachnia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot you!\u201d hissed Jazz. \u201cThe Globe Tunnel!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt functions as predicted,\u201d called Nemesis Prime\u2019s voice. Nemesis then stepped forward. \u201cHowever,\u201d he continued, \u201cmy presence here confirms something went wrong. What happened?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell,\u201d gulped a darker Perceptor, \u201cthere was a solar storm here&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThus, someone failed to properly compensate during said storm,\u201d interrupted Nemesis. \u201cIt altered the Globe Tunnel so it briefly functioned like Globe Posts. Prowl, you were instructed to take care of the equipment until I returned voluntarily.\u201d Perceptor sighed and grinned at a darker Prowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNoble Nemesis, please, I tried to&#8230;\u201d begged Prowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCarelessness will NOT be tolerated, nor will interrupting me!\u201d snarled Nemesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA thousand pardons, oh Grand Nemesis!\u201d apologized Prowl. \u201cBut I&#8230;!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTeletraan X, Prowl\u2019s agony code,\u201d ordered Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut, Nemesis&#8230;\u201d answered a Speakonia voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cProwl\u2019s agony code, please!\u201d demanded Nemesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was just about to say,\u201d replied the Speakonia voice of Teletraan X, \u201cthat my remote link to Prowl is malfunctioning, thus I cannot find his agony code.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFine, I\u2019ll do it myself!\u201d snarled Nemesis. He drew out a small cylinder and keyed in a code, then pressed it hard onto Prowl\u2019s chest. Prowl arched an eyebrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy Lord,\u201d interjected Teletraan X, \u201cI do not think the manual Agony Inducer is working correctly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo s*@t, Sherlock!\u201d snapped Nemesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRed button on top,\u201d remarked Perceptor. Nemesis looked at the top of the cylinder, remembered the steps, then pressed the button before slamming the Agony Inducer over Prowl\u2019s Spark Chamber. Prowl was sent into agony as he clutched his chest until the Inducer turned off, letting him slump to the floor as smoke drifted from his armor. He was unconscious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRatchet, you have a patient,\u201d commented Nemesis. A darker Ratchet grinned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTime for some upgrades!\u201d he cheered as he dragged Prowl off to the med-bay. \u201cMaybe a buzz saw for a hand! Ooh! Or a head-cannon! That would be so cool!\u201d When they were out of sight, Nemesis indulged in a dark laugh. The other Moebian Autobots joined in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT?!\u201d roared Nemesis. \u201cBACK TO WORK!\u201d He turned to Blackarachnia. \u201cYou! Report to Perceptor for a full examination!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, Sir!\u201d gulped Blackarachnia as she followed Perceptor. Nemesis arched an eyebrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not like her,\u201d muttered Strongarm\u2019s dark counterpart as her optic probe extended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI know,\u201d agreed Nemesis. \u201cShe should have been spending well over an hour, begging me in that annoyingly cutesy voice to not send her to \u2018Creepy Old Perceptor\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMonitor her closely?\u201d guessed Strongarm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou, Teletraan, and I will be keeping a close eye on her,\u201d confirmed Nemesis. \u201cTell me of any new developments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, Sir!\u201d replied Strongarm. She saluted by throwing her arm across her chest in a knife-hand fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow THIS is puzzling!\u201d cheered Perceptor a few days later. \u201cYour genetic make-up is totally unlike the one you usually have!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJust, er, a little change,\u201d muttered Blackarachnia. \u201cI AM a growing femme.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNein, nein, nein, not what I meant!\u201d snapped Perceptor. \u201cYour CNA is totally different! Pit, your atomic structure has evidence of alterations! It looks like your atoms were totally different to our own! You once had a core made of protons and neutrons with electron clouds!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese bots have a totally different atomic structure?\u201d thought Blackarachnia. \u201cCan neutrons hold electrons? It WOULD explain a proton cloud around the atoms instead of electrons. I need to ask MY Perceptor when I get home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo you ARE from another universe!\u201d cheered Perceptor. Blackarachnia gasped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow did&#8230;?\u201d she thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re thinking out loud!\u201d explained Perceptor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOf course, I am,\u201d sighed Blackarachnia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat is all the information Strongarm and Nemesis needed,\u201d droned Teletraan X. Nemesis and Strongarm entered the lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo you\u2019re NOT our Blackarachnia,\u201d chuckled Strongarm darkly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI had a suspicion in my head,\u201d grinned Nemesis, \u201cwhen you didn\u2019t act as our Blackarachnia did. I don\u2019t believe we\u2019ve met.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was happier NOT seeing your mug!\u201d hissed Blackarachnia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOOH! A bit of sarcastic wit!\u201d chuckled Nemesis. \u201cI like that! MY Blackarachnia couldn\u2019t even SPELL \u2018sarcasm\u2019!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLook, I don\u2019t want to be here,\u201d offered Blackarachnia. \u201cYou don\u2019t want me here. Why not recreate what happened and let me go home?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd risk the return of that empty-headed glitch?\u201d questioned Nemesis as he drew his gun. \u201cYour precious Optimus can have her! Killing you will be much more sweeter! Somehow, my Blackarachnia could never take the hint when I tried to kill her! She blissfully avoids it and insists on hanging on my arm! No, I\u2019ll just leave her there and kill you. So you die, and we all move up in rank!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAren\u2019t you already in command?\u201d asked Blackarachnia. Nemesis realized his quote didn\u2019t fit the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;SHUT UP! PREPARE TO&#8230;!\u201d he barked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlert! Alert!\u201d droned Teletraan X. \u201cMultiple Decepticon signatures inbound! Seeker Embers verified!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Seekers?!\u201d yelped Nemesis. \u201cThey\u2019ve never been bold enough to attack us!\u201d The fortress rocked from missile fire. \u201cDON\u2019T JUST STAND THERE, YOU IDIOTS!\u201d Nemesis broadcasted throughout the base. \u201cAUTOBOTS, ATTACK!\u201d The Autobots barreled outside to engage with the Decepticons, the enemy sporting a much brighter color palette. Blackarachnia managed to hide somewhere as Nemesis confronted the Megatron of Moebius. This one was blue-white and had a red Decepticon symbol and blue optics. \u201cYou were never bold enough to attack head-on!\u201d snarled Nemesis. \u201cWhat\u2019s your game here?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBesides stopping you as usual?\u201d snarked Megatron. \u201cGetting the other Blackarachnia home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWait, how did YOU find&#8230;Soundwave AGAIN!\u201d roared Nemesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou never seem to close off the vents for long,\u201d mused Megatron. He then kicked Nemesis in the gut. Nemesis steadied himself and drew the Dark Saber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNO YOU DON\u2019T!\u201d shouted Blackarachnia as she webbed his hand to the wall. Nemesis tried to peel it off but lost a bit of dental plating from Blackarachnia\u2019s punch to his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYOU GLITCH-SPAWNED&#8230;!\u201d snarled Nemesis as he broke free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo more words, villain!\u201d called a voice. An armored human then flew in, his face revealing a skinny version of Eggman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDr. Robotnik!\u201d snarled Nemesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, it is I!\u201d declared Eggman\u2019s counterpart. \u201cDr. Robotnik! Champion of Medicine! Hero of the people! And, if I may be egotistical, downright sexy in an Iron Man style suit. You, on the other hand, would take someone\u2019s corpse and pilot it as if it were never alive to begin with!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese machines are under my command!\u201d snarled Nemesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re more than machines!\u201d shouted Dr. Robotnik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTHEY DON\u2019T HAVE A PROPER EXISTENCE!\u201d screamed Nemesis. \u201cYou\u2019re seriously telling me that Megatronus is alive?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSTOP CALLING ME THAT!\u201d roared Megatron as he activated his mace. \u201cMY NAME IS MEGATRON! I CAST ASIDE MEGATRONUS WHEN I TOOK COMMAND OF THE DECEPTICONS!\u201d He swung the mace into Nemesis\u2019 head. Nemesis tried to steady himself. A red Shockwave with two eyes and a&nbsp;<em>Sailor Moon<\/em>&nbsp;tiara then gathered energy near the tiara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMOON TIARA ACTION!\u201d she announced as she flung an energy discus into Nemesis\u2019 side. Blackarachnia was amazed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA Shockwave that uses magic?\u201d she pondered. \u201cMY Shockwave would go berserk!\u201d She grinned. Nemesis snarled and turned to Shockwave who grinned and pointed at his feet. Nemesis looked down to see a box with a blinking red light. Blackarachnia\u2019s self-preservation instinct told her it would probably be bad if she DIDN\u2019T go to the Anti-Decepticons\u2019 side, so she leapt out of the way into Megatron\u2019s arms. Nemesis picked the device up as Shockwave cast a shield, protecting the Decepticons and their Autobot and human allies. The Moebian Autobots were then caught in an electric field that shorted them out as well as Teletraan X. The electric field died down and Shockwave, cautiously, lowered the barrier. The bots and person still standing were unaffected, so Shockwave finished the job. \u201cAre they&#8230;?\u201d quizzed Blackarachnia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo,\u201d assured Shockwave, guessing Blackarachnia\u2019s query. \u201cDark though they are, they don\u2019t deserve death. My Stun box isn\u2019t high enough to disrupt the Ember\u2019s cohesion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo, you\u2019re Blackarachnia from another universe,\u201d guessed the Moebian Knock-out. He held out his hand. \u201cKnock-out, CMO of the Decepticons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBlackarachnia, intel officer for the Mobian Autobots,\u201d replied Blackarachnia as she shook his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI must say, sensible color choices must be a natural for you,\u201d complimented Knock-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe can flirt later,\u201d interjected Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just saying hello!\u201d protested Knock-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor you, that\u2019s flirting!\u201d hissed the Moebian Starscream. \u201cThere\u2019s a time and a place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, no point in chin-wagging!\u201d called Shockwave. \u201cMuch as it\u2019s nice to see her, we gotta get the good Blackarachnia home. She must miss her bots.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a matter of fact,\u201d replied Blackarachnia, \u201cI do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen let\u2019s get this show on the road!\u201d affirmed Shockwave. \u201cAlchemax, have you obtained records of what happened?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have, indeed!\u201d cheered a girly voice as a female Mobian cat in a pink, stereotypical magical girl outfit and pink hair appeared on screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPRIMUS! MY OPTICS!\u201d wailed Blackarachnia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy is that the reaction I ALWAYS get?\u201d sighed Alchemax. \u201cIn any case, I can simulate what happened and get our Mobian visitor home! We have three minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll right!\u201d cheered Blackarachnia. A thought then struck her. \u201cHow long before Nemesis takes over this world?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA matter of days, with the firepower of the&nbsp;<em>Ark<\/em>&nbsp;and Metarex under his command,\u201d explained Dr. Robotnik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd the inevitable outcome?\u201d continued Blackarachnia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Autobots will replace what\u2019s good and green on this planet,\u201d continued Starscream, \u201cwith dark magic and technological terrors. We may overpower them eventually, but it will take hundreds of years with the power at their command.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThousands of people will die!\u201d protested Blackarachnia. \u201cMillions more in slavery! I submit that you must wrest control of that power from the Autobots and I also submit that you use it to help this planet!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe lack the resources needed to complete such an endeavor,\u201d replied Megatron. \u201cThat would require magic of an untold magnitude.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen find the mages of this planet!\u201d insisted Blackarachnia. \u201cThey\u2019ll get you the power needed to stop Nemesis\u2019 plans from coming to fruition! You MUST be the leader both of your homes need!\u201d A beep from the console stopped her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s time,\u201d clarified Shockwave as she activated the altered Globe Tunnel. Blackarachnia turned to Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn&#8230;EVERY&#8230;revolution,\u201d she said, imitating Kirk, \u201cthere is&#8230;ONE mech&#8230;with vision!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Blackarachnia, I shall consider it,\u201d replied Megatron. Blackarachnia waved goodbye to the Moebian Decepticons and stepped through the Globe tunnel, feeling a buzz as she journeyed through the vortex. She guessed it was the energies rewriting her atoms to their original state. She noticed the vortex was blue. She then stepped out of the vortex and out of her home\u2019s Ground Bridge apparatus. HER Autobots were there, having arrived at the same conclusion Moebian Shockwave did. Optimus stepped forward and held out a&nbsp;<em>YuGiOh<\/em>&nbsp;card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;That\u2019s Dark Sage, one of the hardest cards to summon onto the field. So what?\u201d she explained. Optimus then hugged her. \u201cOkay, we\u2019re doing this now!\u201d she yelped. \u201cI take it my Moebian counterpart didn\u2019t know what&nbsp;<em>YuGiOh<\/em>&nbsp;was?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe was neither a sarcastic nerd nor a genius chemist!\u201d replied Optimus. \u201cWelcome home, Blackarachnia!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI guess my counterpart\u2019s gonna be in the waiting arms of her Decepticons,\u201d figured Blackarachnia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m afraid not,\u201d replied Teletraan 1. \u201cWhen she heard that Nemesis was in this universe, she fled from us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNemesis ISN\u2019T in our universe,\u201d reported Blackarachnia. The Autobots gave her quizzical looks. \u201cHere\u2019s what happened,\u201d she began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Blackarachnia told everyone about her adventures on Moebius. Perceptor seemed to be all excited. \u201cSomething you want to share with the class?\u201d asked Blackarachnia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think I can help give some insights on Moebius\u2019 usual atomic structure!\u201d answered Perceptor. \u201cYou see, when I studied your counterpart\u2019s atoms, I found evidence that the particles that made up her atoms did NOT exchange places, merely charge! Her electrons were, in her universe, positrons and her protons were anti-protons!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe anti-particles of antimatter!\u201d breathed Blackarachnia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDo you have any idea how refreshing it is,\u201d cheered Perceptor, \u201cto hear you understand that?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m basing this off of&nbsp;<em>Star Trek<\/em>,\u201d interjected Optimus, \u201cbut shouldn\u2019t she have exploded the instant she set foot in that universe?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is where Moebian Perceptor, creepy though he was,\u201d answered Blackarachnia, \u201ccould explain how I could exist there. As I traveled through the dimensional vortex, I felt a buzz around my atoms. Moebian Perceptor identified the buzz as my atoms\u2019 polarity being reversed in some way. It turns out the subatomic particles were exchanging charge, not places as I originally thought.\u201d Perceptor winced when he heard his counterpart was creepy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, I don\u2019t know about you bots,\u201d remarked Prowl, \u201cbut I\u2019m glad we have OUR Blackarachnia back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know, I kind of liked the pink and white,\u201d teased Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI always figured you were a princess at Spark,\u201d chuckled Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMaybe a tea party is in order?\u201d joked Strongarm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think a bow on her helmet would tie it together nicely,\u201d giggled Chromia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOr a nice, frilly dress,\u201d supplied Ironhide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPerhaps her own castle,\u201d mused Prowl with a grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIndeed,\u201d replied Blackarachnia. \u201cMay I say, I\u2019ve had a tremendous opportunity to observe your counterparts in that universe. They were brutal,\u201d Strongarm arched an eyebrow, \u201csavage,\u201d Ironhide gulped, \u201cunprincipled,\u201d Jazz gasped, \u201cuncivilized,\u201d Optimus protested with a \u201cHEY!\u201d, \u201ctreacherous,\u201d Chromia scoffed, \u201cand groveling.\u201d Prowl\u2019s grin vanished. \u201cIn every way,\u201d continued Blackarachnia, \u201csplendid examples of The Beginning Days, the very flower of the Autobot Cause. I found them quite refreshing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;I\u2019m not sure,\u201d remarked Optimus, \u201cbut I think we\u2019ve just been insulted.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019M sure!\u201d hissed Chromia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cA rather disturbing development,\u201d muttered Topaz. \u201cIf and when Nemesis decides to attack, we\u2019ll respond in force.\u201d \u201cProbably the best option we have,\u201d agreed Optimus. \u201cWe\u2019ll keep you posted.
