[ For being a masked mech, he's radiating his confusion pretty well. His optics are wide, shoulders tense, and by his hesitant stance it's clear he's approaching the Link with the same amount of caution as someone would a dud bomb. ]

...Hello?

[ He pauses. Nothing happens. Some of the tension melts out of his posture. ]

Oh, good. I'm First Aid and I'm a nurse. I'm not supposed to be here. I'll try and help out where I can, but I'm not sure how I can help the... situation at least.

[ He fidgets his hands. ]

I'm looking for two medics by the name of Ambulon and Pharma. They're my bosses. They're about this tall--
[ He raises his hand to two different heights. He's not the biggest of mechs, so he's making it obvious they're taller than him. ]
-- and both are painted, ah, well they both have red and white. Pharma has quite a bit of blue.

[ He rubs the back of his helm where it connects to his neck, pressing hard into tense servos. ]

Just giving the mech some options, Pharma.

[ Have a little tip of the head and a touch to his chevron that's just barely this side of respectful. ]

I figured that you were set, given you've got your Acolyte assistant, so First Aid here might get a little bored, is all.

Unfortunately, my acolyte does not possess any medical training. While useful in aiding me while I am waiting for replacement extremities, he is still not nearly at the level of professional competency I require.

Having difficulties fielding your work on your own these days?

[Video]

[docbot]

Ah. Well, if you need that level of assistance, of course I'll step aside. Out of curiosity, have you made any headway on replacing your missing, ah, appendages yet?

[ He ignores Pharma's dig at his work, because he knows very well exactly how much he's fielding. ]

Every good doctor should have an excellent medical staff backing him up. [Not that he's ever willing to share the credit with them, but he needs someone to do the menial work.]

I have, actually. They should be ready soon. [And hopefully the correct shade of blue.]

[Video]

[docbot]

But in a situation such as ours where we have a significant shortage of qualified individuals perhaps we should, ah, how do the sparklings put it? [ He taps at his lip, then fakes a revelation. ] Ah yes. Share.

And my congratulations on the new hands, then. I hope they're as skilled as your originals were.

Re: [Video]

[organ_pharming]

Share, eh? [He chuckles] As long as First Aid finishes his assigned duties, he is free to do whatever he wishes in his free time.

Thank you and so do I. The world really cannot afford to lose such a skilled medic as myself.

[docbot]

Hmm, and so modest too.

[ Ratchet refrains from rol- no, he just rolled his optics anyway. Because he's officially decided that he doesn't care what Pharma thinks of him. ]

Re: [Video]

[organ_pharming]

[Pharma grins. Oh, Ratchet try not to be jealous. It's unbecoming.]

One more thing. Will you tell Drift to stop by? He never made it down to my lab and I'd prefer to believe that it was not because he died.

[Video]

[docbot]

If I remember to, I'll let him know you were looking for him. I've got a lot of things to juggle, though.

[ He might just "forget". You never know. ]

Re: [Video]

[organ_pharming]

I see. Perhaps I will contact him myself then. [This frown? It is for you.]

[Video]

[docbot]

Perhaps you should. Might do you some good to do some of your own work sometime.

[Have a smug smirk in return, Pharma darling.]

Re: [Video]

[organ_pharming]

[WELL THEN HE IS JUST GOING TO HANG UP ON YOU DR. RUDE.]

[Video]

[docbot]

RUDE.

[ He says this at the speaker, even though Pharma's not listening, because it amuses him. ]
