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

[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.))

Wooooo!! :D

[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.]

[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.]
