[Video][Failed Locks][Transmitting from the Hub, Action spam welcome][Backdated to early this week]

[winged_knight]

[It seems quite like this message was meant for specific people, but given the current state of the sender it's unsurprising that the delivery is more than a bit botched.]

[The video feed flickers on to a figure holding tight to the bartop's edge, every line of the body taut and quaking in obvious distress. It's Wing, keening behind clenched dentae as he's afflicted by some unseen form of suffering.]

J-Jetfire. We--we were ^right. I can _{feel it.} He's... so-omething's wrong!

Ratchet, Ambulon, F-Firs--[A hissing vent as he grits his dentae.] He's ^hurt. please...someone help him. I-I can't--

[The video feed shakes as if the hands holding it tremble violently. Ragged venting triggered by phantom heat and fire is punctured by another cry of pain and distress, only half of it for himself. Wing's optics shutter tightly against the pain, real enough despite being not his own, forcing it back, trying to keep control.]

Drift...wh-where are you!? What's ha^aaa--!

[That's all he gets out before it overtakes him. He can no longer block out the sensations assaulting him over the remnant of his bond to Drift's Great Sword, as the other mech is violently consumed by flames somewhere far out of Haven. Another cry, a scream of horrible measure, crackling with static as he topples. There's a convulsion that scatters the video feed for a moment, the sound of jet's frame crashing to the ground audible. When the camera becomes still again it's a view of the star-strewn skylight in the bar's ceiling accompanied only by silence.]


((OOC: Wing won't be able to respond at first, so at the beginning action spam will be required--feel free to find him and help wake him up. If you want to tag a little "later on" when he's awake then he'll respond via comm.))

[Video] --> Action!

[winged_knight]

((Hmm, separate I think, since others might action too and figuring out the timing and who's doing might just be whacked. o_O;; /makes frantic magic handwavy gestures))

[Wing seems to be out pretty cold, give the lack of response and the way the video feed drones on. Though that is a good sign at least, the way his systems continue to hum.]

Action! - YAY 8D

[notyourblueangel]

((ooc: LOL that's fine – hey, little AU threads in an AU[-ish] game – I kinda like! XD;;; Besides, I can only tag in the evenings but I have class T/Th, which makes me a slow tagger, so probably best I don't hold up others.))



[Thundercracker barely slows down as he drops altitude, transforms to land on his feet, and strides into the bar – seemingly all in one, smooth motion. He pauses only long enough to locate his target, then is crossing to drop to his knees and turn the other flyer over. The low hum of Wing's engine and the fact that he still has color are reassuring . . . but not by much.]

Wing . . . Wing, can you hear me?

Action! - LOL oh this could get funny real fast...

[winged_knight]

((ooc: I know how that goes. And I never like to exclude folks from actioning if they want to either. :<))

[Wing is unresponsive, and though his EM field still echoes with the jarring resonance of great physical trauma, he appears to be physically undamaged. It seems like all his higher functions have been knocked offline, or shutdown by safety protocols. Things might be a little scrambled since he's not rebooting on his own yet. That might come on its own in time, or a shock to the system or manual hard boot might do the trick.]

[Assuming one can find the right access panel amidst all the complex angles Crystal City seems to like to build into their mechs.]

LOL YEP....Aaaand school's done YAYY! 8D

[notyourblueangel]

((ooc: And thanks! Yeah, me neither. <3))



[Thundercracker's not wholly unfamiliar with the idea of bonds and feeling the echo of someone else through it, though he wasn't aware of anything that could affect one this powerfully - not from his own reality - so it's not his first thought.]

Pit...

[He's no medic, but he's seen enough combat to have at least some working knowledge of field "first aid" . . . but with no evidence of trauma, he doesn't know where to begin trying to help his friend. Except . . . to wake him up and just ask him what happened. But . . . HOW?]

[Knelt beside the fallen Knight, he'll gingerly start checking seams and opening panels here and there trying to find a way to help Wing wake that much sooner.]

Wooooo!! :D

[winged_knight]

[Wing is lucky, he doesn't share a bond the way mechs with a branched spark do. There are records of simultaneous death, and assuming one of the twins survives, they are never completely whole again.]

[It's still enough to fool his processor and confuse his systems enough to knock him out like this though.]

[Wing's chassis design is complex enough that it might take a bit of exploration before Thundercracker's search reaches success. And granted, if anyone walked in and observed this, the Seeker might have some explaining to do.]

[But if the other jet is patient enough, he'll find an access hatch that flips up in Wing's collarplate, revealing a panel with various medical ports and buttons. Given the glyphs labeling then, it's pretty easy to guess what needs to be done to force a reboot.]

[notyourblueangel]

[Thundercracker can be surprisingly patient when he has the time, motivation, and privacy to be. He's ready to defend himself – verbally AND physically – should someone happen on him "violating" the other mech, but then he vents a sigh of relief as his patience is finally rewarded. Double-checking the glyphs to be certain, he carefully actuates the reboot port, then closes the panel and shifts back a bit of a distance. He knows if HE were the one in Wing's position, he'd wake "fighting", so he's allowing for some space to let Wing recover himself if need be.]
