Optimus was stressed, tired, and angry, bundled all together into a bad combination that wasn't really going to pan out in Prowl's favor. It indeed would have likely been wiser to wait, to give him at least twenty-four hours to try to gain a grappled grasp on reality and what had occurred. What was done was done however, there was no turning back the clock on this, and even should the other mech stand down and depart without another word?... New pressures and concerns on needing to try to keep Prowl reigned in were now already rooted down. He now had on his mind the idea that Prowl could go off on his own mission, to gain results he needed, which meant he would need to inform Red Alert to notify him of anything amiss, adding another chore on his expansive list.
When Prowl confirmed he had been speaking about their informant and not MECH personnel, Optimus dipped his helm ever so slightly, a soft nod of affirmative rather than speaking outright. He knew there was possibility he had been mistaken, hence his prior words, and it was good to have the real intent confirmed for consideration.
"Authenticating offered information is profoundly valuable."
He could question, he could try to come at the scenario at multiple different angles in the discussion with Dart and her supposed informant, yet a fabricated lie could be tightly woven, and looking for snags and tears could be impossible. This was especially if there was just one possible discussion. No means to look for contradictions over time. Should Prowl have ideas on how to validate their claims and add structured rigidity to them beyond hollow words? Then that would be a priceless nugget of data that could help carve future objectives.
"I will obtain contact with my informant within one weeks time, even if I must utilize Fowler's assistance."
A phone track may be tricky to accomplish, or it may be incredibly easy. This fact was hard to say since Optimus did not research that sort of technology and what level the Humans were on. He wanted to wager they could do such things easily, they seemed on par to manage such tactics with GPS, yet whether all phones had such ability or if it was barred by means of ethics was hard to say. He would try however, and if he and Rafael scrabbled and struggled and simply could not manage to get in contact?...
Then Optimus would set Prowl on the case of tracking Dart down.
They needed to know what she knew.
