[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!))

FragitstraighttothePitandback. I don't have-- There's too many people here for me to get to you and bring you back to the Temple.

[ A growl over the comm ]

If you can find someone to get Gunmax and Drift to Solus's Temple, I'll have berths waiting for them. Is Gunmax injured past being drained of energy, or should I just start isolating a generator to give him a boost?

I know, Ratchet. I am sorry.

[He really regrets having to present you with this problem so soon.] I have arranged transportation, so both should be coming to you, shortly.

None of us are significantly damaged, no. [He does check, quickly, looking himself over. He's still burnt from the explosion that happened when he tried the energon in the car engine, but he's gotten hardly any scratches from this fight. Being long-range helps with that.] Not even Drift. It makes his collapse perplexing.

[ He's wringing his hands over here, busy, but... wishing he weren't. ]

I'll be waiting for them when they get here, and I'll check them then. As for you... I know that you and Deckerd don't have self-repair systems built in, so while I realize that you're going to want to keep fighting now, I'm going to want to see you later.

[ After the wave is defeated, is the unspoken hope. ]

Knockout is on his way. We're going to do a temporary transfusion of gasoline from myself to Gunmax, which should be enough to get him to you. Can...can you help him, from there?

[Because McCrane knows that sharing gasoline amongst themselves is only a temporary solution.]

You can't let his battery die.

[Who knew what would happen, then.]

[He's surprised that you seem to want to see him, also, but he only nods.] Yes, Ratchet. Of course.

[VOICE] you are an angel

[VOICE] the slowest tag-angel in the world. x-x

[ VOICE ] Nah, we're both slow

[ VOICE ] I would say 'yay' but that seems wrong, somehow
