accidental video | location: Trion's sector

[sciencetank]

[An elbow or some errant piece of lab equipment must have activated the Link. Either that or Perceptor meant to say something, but was called away by whatever it was he's tinkering with. In this case, it's something under that big work-lamp of his, and vaguely resembles a small box. With a button on top.]

... I've utterly no memory of this. Why on Cybertron would there be...?

[Link feed forgotten, he peers lower, examining whatever this device may be.]

What could the button possibly --

[And, as if in retribution for the last time this happened being locked away from prying optics, something small, glowing, and flying on rotors buzzes right up into the tank's face. He jerks backwards, upwards, and...]

[CRACK goes the back of his head against the lamp.]

[The video goes dark, save for the lights on Perceptor's frame, and that of the glowing insectoid itself, buzzing happily about while the Autobot curses.]

My doors are open.

Metaphorically. They do need to be closed in the event I've started work on hazardous material.

Right.

You could also try an alternative route, should the thought of getting intoxicated in relative safety doesn't appeal to you.

Such as?

I've heard punching things is of great benefit in terms of stress relief.

I'll bear that in mind.

[sciencetank]

Very well then.

I'll... see about getting this thing out of my lab.
