[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!))

[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?

[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.]

[She remembers something of these bots from talking to Korra. And Drift? She doesn't care so much if he rusts, because he's hopelessly bought into Autobot propaganda.]

Not saying I'm a medi-bot, but doesn't flickering indicate power disruption for some bots? I'm not cavalry to haul you all out of there, but if it's a matter or of running a kit, parts, or something to your position, I might do that.

That is the source of the problem, yes.

[He notes that you're perceptive, and he appreciates how quickly you get to the point, indicating as much with a grateful nod.]

What we need is gasoline. Anything. We have needed it before, but the situation now might be dire.

Korra said something about gasoline. We're not talking Megatron's private blend? Just something suitable enough to stabilize your - your bots there, until they can see a medi-bot?

[Her knowledge of chemistry is iffy, but she is at least familiar with some Earth fuels.]

How long? [Obviously soon is preferable, but she suspects she needs to account closely for both search and delivery time.]

Anything.

At this point, anything.

[Even Diesel would help, because he could process Diesel and give the remaining gas in his tanks to Gunmax.]

We have maybe an hour.

[He pauses, because someone has called him on this before.] An Earth Hour.

Understood.

[She disconnects to make her search, raiding her small personal stash, inquiring with acolytes about various chemicals on hand, and finally visiting a portion of the junk pile. Flying again, she sights the downed bots from the air and transforms as she descends, quickly emptying assorted containers from cargo compartments. Much less than an hour has passed, but she guesses they'll need time to blend or cut the fuels to get something usable.]

Here! [She waves a hand.] No claims any of this works long term.

[The assortment includes 30-weight, a pair of kerosene lanterns, previously filled, a fancy grain alcohol labeled with alien writing, camp stove fuel, a paint thinner, jet fuel, alien vegetable oil, a brick of wax, a lump of blue-tinted coal, and a small quantity of pre-mixed diesel gasoline.]

[He's away off from Gunmax and Drift when she arrives, since the two of them have since been worked on by medics and are about to be dragged off to a medbay somewhere.]

..!

[And, honestly, he wasn't expecting you to show up, but now that you're here...]

Where did you find this?

[Because some of this does help!]
