"We need some proof. You look like you're wearing face paint." Jake said in disbelief. Barry's face shape shifts into that of Jake's before growing hair and changing his skin colour accordingly to everyone's shock. "Does anyone else see two Jakes?" Amy wondered. "Believe me now? I'm basically like the T-One-Thousand except I use holograms and high-tech fibres." Barry said in Jake's voice as he pulled on his own cheek. "Do I really look like that? My nose looks weird." Jake commented.
"Why are you here?" Amy asked. Barry turns around to show a logo on his back; a red robot face inside a light yellow clock. "You're with the Autobots?! Wait, are you like those Transformers toys from the eighties where they have, like, these human shells to disguise themselves as humans?" Jake asked. Barry turns back around to face Jake, reverting to his previous appearance. "You mean a pretender? No, I'm not. I'm part of an Autobot division called the Voyagers. We travel to other universes, cataloguing them for the Transcendent Technomorphs, highly-evolved Transformers from a warless Cybertron. My team were fighting drones from a bounty hunter called Lockdown as we skipped across different multiverses. I got thrashed and ended up here. That drone must still be around because we were all separated before I crashed here. I tried contacting the rest of my team but my comm system is busted." Barry explained.
"How do you know our names?" Amy asked. "This universe is a derivative of another universe where all the events taking place at the precinct are relayed to another universe. In other words; you're a T.V. show." Barry answered. "No way! Do we have a cool theme song? Am I the main character?" Jake asked excitedly. "Your theme song is just an instrumental and yes, you are the main focus alongside the other detectives, Holt, and Gina." Barry explained. "Well, with her personality she had to be a main character." Jake commented.
"So, basically; I'm stuck here and I need to hunt down the one drone that's roaming around in this universe. I need to go back to the crime scene to do that." Barry summarised. "The crater… is that an Autobot?" Jake asked. "It's kinda like a Transformer suit, a mech of sorts." Barry explained. "Should we introduce the precinct to you?" Amy asked Barry. "I don't suggest it. Not now, especially not around Pimento. I've seen the rest of his appearances, and man is he unstable!" Barry answered.
"In that case, you need a disguise." Jake said to Barry. "Already on it." Barry said before his face shapeshifts into a man with bright blonde combed-back hair and his jumpsuit shifts into a short-sleeved police uniform with the nameplate "O'Cyrus". "I'll give you the honour of weaving me story." Barry said in an Irish accent. "Alright… O'Cyrus…" Jake said as he was thinking. "Your name is Seamus O'Cyrus, a transfer from the Nine-Eight. Your right arm was cut off by a gang member while on patrol so you had to get a prosthetic." Jake described.
"Metal or plastic?" Barry asked Jake. "Plastic, you're on a cop's salary." Jake answered. Barry holds out his right arm and it compresses into the shape of a mannequin-like arm and changes its texture from hairy skin to smooth skin-coloured plastic. "Captain Holt, I know this is a lot to ask of you, but can you forge some documents for me? Please?" Barry requested to Holt. He stares at Barry, making him feel uneasy.
"What about when you get your Autobot suit back, you lay low and ditch O'Cyrus?" Jake suggested. "I knew he'd be in on stealing letters so I thought it would be okay to ask him to forge documents." Barry answered. "I never did such a thing in my life!" Holt rebutted. "Not yet." Barry added. "We need to fill this bag with something so nobody notices." Jake suggested.
An inactive android materialises in Barry's hands and it sealed inside the body bag. "What was that?" Jake asked. "I pulled a spare android body from my Transtector, the Transformer mech. I guess the trunk is still intact." Barry answered. "Peralta, Santiago, bring him along to the crime scene. If he is correct then we need to stop this drone from wreaking havoc in New York." Holt instructed Jake and Amy. "You can count on me. By the way, can you say 'the fate of the universe is in your hands'?" Jake requested.
"It's one drone. Maybe 'the fate of three city blocks is in your hands'?" Barry suggested. "Doesn't sound as cool." Jake commented. They exit the room and head to the elevator. "Hey, where are you going?" Boyle asked Jake. "Captain Holt assigned us to the train yard explosion. The body's still in evidence." Jake answered.
"Officer O'Cyrus will be assisting the detectives in the investigation." Holt stated. "I've never seen you before. What happened to your arm?" Boyle asked Barry. "It was cut off by a gang member when I was in the Nine-Eight. I just got transferred today." Barry answered in his Irish accent. Jake, Amy, and Barry enter the elevator and descend. "Do you have a plan on how you're getting your mech back when there are forensics and officers everywhere?" Amy asked Barry.
"I just need to get in range of it to transfer myself to the body, activate my smokescreen, and then drive away. You'll know when you see me on the way back to the precinct." Barry planned. "You can transfer your artificial intelligence to the Transformer?" Amy asked. "Yep. I'll activate my stealth mode, leave, and then you hide me under the seats until we meet again." Barry instructed. "What do you transform into? A Ferrari? A Camaro like Bumblebee?" Jake asked. "A Formula-One car, but I'll disguise myself as something more familiar to you." Barry answered.
"An F-One? Like Mirage?" Jake asked. "Oh, now you remember everyone's names." Barry teased. "What's that supposed to mean?" Jake wondered.
