[The thing about Minimus Ambus is that he is straightforward: he claims he adheres to the rules, and his actions match his words. It's one of the few exceptional quality he believe he has.]

Soldat,

No soldier is capable of making no mistakes in every fight. You've fought like many of the brave Autobot soldiers with whom I have seen combat, if not among those with the most honor. We are fortunate that you are alive, but you still died while under my watch.

Not many can survive to amend their final regrets.

[Yeah, and when you're a one, war criminal, and two, spent a lot of time being beaten down with the motto "order only comes through pain", people like Minimus are a little scary. It's okay, though. Soldat's used to being afraid of people.

They stare at the formal message for a long time before coming up with a response.]

You shouldn't beat yourself up about it anyway. There wasn't anything you could have done.

Soldat,

Thank you for your reassurance. [He doesn’t hate Minimus. Does the rest of the crew of the Lost Light feel the same way? Would the Wreckers refuse an apology from Ultra Magnus if they did meet in the Afterspark?] I do wish to be more careful next time.

Rest well, soldier.

[Of course they don't hate you. They don't even know you, man. They're just pretty sure Minimus would hate them if he knew a damn thing about them.]

We'll all be more careful next time.

Good night

[Wow, "good night", so dumb. Jesus, they're regretting sending that as soon as they hit the send button. Too bad there's no recall button on these things.]
