[Video][Broadcasting from the Junk Pile at end of Event]

[mccrane]

[McCrane, currently, sounds much more flustered than he has in past broadcasts. Granted, 'much more flustered' for him doesn't amount to more than a slight urgency in his voice, but considering both Gunmax and Drift have just collapsed he feels a need to be urgent.]

This is McCrane.

We have two men in need of repairs, and we are unable to ferry them to one of the temples.

[This is guilt. Gunmax, he knows, is down because of fuel, and both he and Deckerd are too low themselves to tow him anywhere. To illustrate the severity of the situation, he points his badge toward where the motorcycle detective is lying, optics flickering even as he insists to a very-worried Deckerd that he's perfectly okay. Beyond, Drift is lying in a puddle of his own rust, not obviously injured but not moving, optics offline.]

Ratchet? Knockout? Is there anyone available with mechanical expertise?

((OOC: This is a communal post. Replies may be from McCrane, Deckerd, Gunmax, or, if he snaps out of it, Drift. Also please feel free to actionspam arrivals!))

I don't need a damn ... a damn repair.

[mccrane]

Gunmax, you can't stand up.

[patokichi]

Gunmax, please. Save your strength.

[raceme]

[Blurr can't help much right now, he's missing his right arm and in need of medical assistance himself but he's worried.]

IknewGundmaxwaslyingtomewhenhesaidhewas fine...[Le sigh.]I could try come to help you..ah...I don't think I can change into my car alt mode now.. but there must be some way...[

He's not talking as fast as he usually does, which is probalby not a good sign.]

[Video]

[mccrane]

[There's something wrong with this, and McCrane can't put his finger on it yet, but he will.]

Gunmax was talking to you?

[He makes a sound that doesn't translate well...it might be a curse.]

[Wait.]

Blurr, are you alright?

[Because not changing into a mode was a problem.]

[Video]

[dontasktrix]

[Setting aside the 'men' thing, which she doesn't get.]

If only we had several semi trucks to haul things!

[Oh, wait!]

Are any of you even ambulatory?

[Video]

[mccrane]

[He still can't get over the fact that female robots exist, so excuse him for the staring--however brief it is, since this is a crisis.]

Y...yes.

Deckerd and I are both able to move, but not over long distances.

[He's toeing empty right now as is.]

[wakizashi_straight]

[Oh no. He knew Gunmax didn't sound right when he'd sent out that call.]

I wish there was some way I could help. If you need someone to assist in carrying them for any reason...

[Noisy Boy has never actually been in this position before.]

[audio]

[sword_redemption]

[A very, very small voice.]

I'm sorry. I let you down.

[automobile_enthusiast]

Two? [Knock Out sounds harried and a bit snappish-- but he's responding, instead of ignoring the broadcast entirely, so there's that?] Scrap, what are you all doing over there?

[mccrane]

Taking out upwards of twenty targets in one shot.

[He was proud of Gunmax.]

One not-very-fuel-efficient shot.

[Still picked up on McCrane's video bc Drift would not willingly put this on network]

[sword_redemption]

_{nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngh}

[Drift manages to roll from his belly onto his side, and then stops with that 'ooooooookay world you can please stop moving now please?' expression.]

'm fine.

[He tries to get a knee under him to rise to his feet, wincing, and hesitates, seriously contemplating curling into a ball.]

Re: [Still picked up on McCrane's video bc Drift would not willingly put this on network]

[organ_pharming]

Drift?

Remind me to be the one that asks you to be careful next time we both go out to engage the enemy.

ACTION;

[engrishdetective]

Doesn't look all that fine to me, Drift. Tch...

Audio for now

[winged_knight]

[Hmm, that mech flopping around in background? Looks all too familiar. Wing's certain McCrane will forgive him for splitting his focus, so he opens a comm channel to send a message. Doin ghis best to remain calm, he keeps it simple for now.]

Drift? [A pause for recognition.] Drift, what's your status? Talk to me.

[Action since he's right there.]

[patokichi]

Drift, please stay still.

I'm sorry I asked you to do this... I'm so sorry.

[Video - Transmission from Liege's temple.]

[raceme]

[Now that Blurr's in a safe place (even if said place is making him skittish and triggering his claustrophobia) he has time to check on his friends.]

Drift? Drift what's wrong?

[Action]

[automobile_enthusiast]

[As soon as he's got Gunmax squared away, Drift, Knock Out's coming for you. He trots over and crouches about arm's length away from Drift, optics roaming critically.]

So. I hear you collapsed.

[You look very collapsed, Drift. Knock Out is observant.]

Video

[winged_knight]

[Wing's been watching comm traffic for medivac calls, knowing that there were always some in a situation like this. He's currently high over the Junk Pile scanning for those in need.]

McCrane! I can evac singles to any of the Temples for safety, Solus's if they need medical attention, unless you already have a medic enroute. Transmit your coordinates and I'll be there swiftly!

Video

[mccrane]

Wing!

[Thank goodness.]

Will you be capable of carrying one of us?

[It takes him a moment to find the coordinates transmission, and...when he does, he feels dumb that he hasn't used it before now. Have some coordinates.]

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[Casualties, huh. Wheeljack had only left his group recently, and he'd already found out about Blurr...who else could it be?]

Some of our boys ain't doin' so good, huh...Anythin' I can do to help?

[Video]

[mccrane]

We need gasoline.

[It's the same song they've been singing, but McCrane sounds positively stressed right now so it's apparent that this is something more.]

Right away, if possible. Are you in the Junk Yard?

[VOICE] alksdj;l so late I'm sorry D:

[docbot]

McCrane! What's happened? Where are you?

[ There's sounds in the background -- he's preparing to come out there. ]

[VOICE] Never too late!

[mccrane]

[He gives coordinates! He'd like to be proud that he's figured out that feature on his communicator, but there's not time for pride right now.]

We had an effective strategy for neutralizing multiple targets.

However, it took more out of Gunmax than expected.

[He glances back to check on everyone.]

Drift, I cannot say. He just collapsed.

[Perma-Audio]

[my_own_trope]

[JSHDLKSJHDLSKJDH If Starscream hadn't been trapped in a cave atm and/or forced to WALK all the way over there, he would have been on scene in a jiffy to ... take advantage of this particular opportunity.

Instead:]

The one in that red puddle. What's wrong with him?

[Perma-Audio]

[mccrane]

The one who is rusting?

I don't...I don't know. He just collapsed.
