[that sure is ratchet spattered with blue energon! obsevant viewers may note it has a slightly green tint. his right shoulder is also very clearly broken, the torn metal sparking and leaking sickly looking yellow/green energon.]

For a police force, you people have a stupidly low presence around this place.

[he kicks something off screen, making a loud clang.]

The Solian medbay will be without the other Ratchet for a while. Consider this a lesson in impulse control.

[click.]

((ooc: replies will come from both medics, although sg ratchet's will be somewhat sparse due to trying to get as far away as possible. assume they're coming from the separate devices as sg would've fled the scene immediately after making the broadcast. tfp ratchet would've also sent a distress signal during the video for anyone that wants to save him!))

[When Wheeljack's voice travels across the feed, it's sickeningly dark. No sir. You just crossed a line you're going to regret ever so much.]

Think you're hot scrap, makin' a broadcast like this?

[Because you just made the wrong move, buddy.]

Re: [Audio]

[letmefixyou]

[ratchet's tone is chipper as ever, if not a bit pained.]

I did you a favour. Next time I'll refrain from doing anything so he bleeds out.

[Audio]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[Your voice is practically begging him to beat your face in, Ratcho.]

Funny, thinkin' there'll BE a next time after I'm done with ya.

Whatever points you lost in subtlety you won back in showmanship.

Re: Audio

[letmefixyou]

It's more fun seeing them stumble over themselves trying to get to"revenge".

Call it a social experiment. [seeing as he now knows how much you like those.]

[loyalflier]

Ratchet.

[ you're not the only one who can be stupidly dramatic. Mostly because Screamy is sort of seething. ]

You will not get away with this.

[thxforthememories]

I want to help.

[Audio - the roar of turbines already audible in the feed]

[notyourblueangel]

I'll take west.

[Since the other three directions are already covered.]

[Audio: Locked]

[treacherous_widow]

Want some help making sure that sorry excuse of a slag heap isn't hiding in the Temple?

[neverputincharge]

What did you do to him?!

[When he finds you, he is beating the hell out of you like he did that Starscream clone. You don't mess with his Ratchet.]

[letmefixyou]

Tore his head off.

[ok he didn't but GUESS YOU'LL HAVE TO GO TO THE DISTRESS SIGNAL AND FIND OUT, HUH?]

[deadlydoctor]

[Frag, you are in his temple? Well, time to activate the security lock of the clinic.]

Oh boy, you don't know how much you screwed up this time.

[letmefixyou]

[video reply of him shrugging with a :T expression.]

[treacherous_widow]

You are an idiot.

[letmefixyou]

Protoform opinions don't count.

[yeah he remembers that ya poot.]

[sciencetank]

Primus...

Ratchet -- if you're at all conscious, do remain online. I'll be arriving shortly.

Re: video

[neededthat]

It's alright, Perceptor. Knock Out's Clinic is nearby. He said he would assist.

Then again, I wouldn't mind a second opinion afterwards.

[There's a pause as the medic wipes off his mouth, looking at his miscolored energon. Tinted with green.]

I was working on the Synthen formula when he barged in on me. Luckily I only had one sample.

I had to get rid of it before he had a chance to take it.

[thankyou4myheart]

I'm sorry if we're disappointingly few, sir.

[Damn, this language can't get across nearly the amount of caustic "politeness" that displays anger or rudeness by itself as he'd love to right now. Can he teach you Japanese just so he can insult you "properly"?]

I don't know what you're trying to prove, but consider this a very measured response.

[And yes, he's already on his way to the Solian temple. From the number of replies already to this post, he has no concerns about having to face you alone this time.]

[letmefixyou]

[he could probably download it from deckard. i mean, if ratchet downloading something from him is something he wants to go through.]

What makes you think I'm trying to prove anything?

[Video]

[cliffjumper]

Smeltin' slag. Who the frag's got issues with impulse control, ya chop-shop glitch!

[He's frustrated and angry, but he's not going to throw around threats because what's the point? Whatever anyone here could do Ratchet would be desentizied to, and Cliffjumper wouldn't be doing something over the top terrible anyway.]

What'd he do, look too fraggin' borin' 'cause he shares a chevron with you?

Re: [Video]

[letmefixyou]

He attacked me completely unprovoked!

[ok that's sort of a lie but he didn't expect the synthen to be so effective B(]

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

You moron. You've sealed your own doom, you complete, sadistic moron.

[But, man, his anger quickly turns to concern over good!Ratchet.] Help is on the way!

Re: [audio]

[letmefixyou]

I'll be impressed and maybe slightly threatened if you people can think up something that hasn't already been done.

[...by him to other mechs. but. shut up.]

Mmm. He might live long enough. If not then I'm sure he'll be back in a week.

action / TIME TO DO THIS THANG

[fun_police]

[Ratchet would find the location he holed up in to be approached, unannounced, by a familiar looking black and white cruiser. Chromedome wouldn't be far behind, though his approach would be less... visible.]

[Prowl didn't bother replying to his comm post because he had less than a couple of minutes before the entire complex would get swarmed by most of the entire Police Force. They tended to galvanize around cases like this.]

[At the entrance of the medibay, he stood and called out in a clipped, cool tone.]

You're sloppy.

[needlefingers]

[If you focus, you can detected an aura of simmering resentment coming from somewhere.

Chromedome is indeed close behind, waiting on Prowl to tell him when to make his move. He says nothing of course. What is there for him to say anyway?]
