In order for this whole arrangement to work, in order for me to serve as your second-in-command, I need to trust in you. To have some modicum of faith in your actions and judgment.
[He sighs.]
Is there a possibility the DJD could be coming after you?
After you and the rest of the original Lost Light crew disappeared, we stumbled across another Lost Light adrift in space. It was torn apart, quantum foam slowly closing in around it. Nautica stated that the moment that explosion happened at your initial take off, two sets of ships were created - along with the crew. The corpse of Rodimus we found? It came from that Lost Light.
Apparently after that, Drift elected to come clean about Overlord being on the ship. Despite how you might have been the better choice for captain, in my opinion... I fear it was short lived. Brainstorm aided the DJD and there were no survivors.
...Save one.
That's how I came to find out about you, Minimus. Your true body had been taken out of the armor and the only person still alive was hiding in the armor.
Except for Rewind, yes. Tarn and the rest of the DJD are ruthless, Magnus. I trained them personally to be such. Once they caught the scent of a traitor, there was no hope for anyone on that ship.
I will admit, her expertise would be sorely welcome given our current predicament.
I've been doing my best to make the best of a bad situation all around, but I'm afraid finding a way back to our respective times is well-beyond my abilities.

No...someone interred his body. Rodimus was killed before the attack?
