Exactly as chevron said. You can be assured that as soon as you pick up the phone to the next unit they will ask why. I personally want to know because I have had too many instances of crews not telling me the 'whole truth'. One particular instance was a biz jet who suddenly decided to drop in to a near by airport and said pretty much nothing. Turned out he had shut down an engine.
