audio | location: ... SOMEWHERE AWKWARDLY CLOSE TO THE BAD LANDS

[thxforthememories]

[There's nothing much to the message. Just another plea for help from a robot -- those have gotten pretty common lately, haven't they? Especially from this one.]

I need someone's help -- out on the edges of the badlands... I --

I found Perceptor out here.

[Not exactly who he was looking for, but. A friend is a friend.]

He's damaged. Buried in rocks. I don't know what happened... I can't get him back safely by myself.

[The sound of rock shifting can be heard. Despite what he says, he's trying to get the Autobot out of trouble. Without much success.]

He needs help, please!

Kagerou...

What were you doing so close to the badlands?

[He's worried about you, first and foremost.]

I can come if needed.

[thxforthememories]

Kay -- I'm trying to find Kay.

[But he found Perceptor instead!]

I don't think I can move him on my own... I need someone.

[mccrane]

I should be able to meet you, if you can send coordinates.

Are you alright?

[He's remembered to ask it earlier, this time.]

[thxforthememories]

I can try. I don't know... I don't know if it's going to send well, out here.

[Beep boop sending anyway.]

I'm fine. I'm...

He needs help. Not me.

[percept]

[ Perceptor is conscious, if just barely, and he groans as Kagerou's efforts slightly shift the rocks pinning him. ]

K... Kageoru?

action

[thxforthememories]

[That's a relief to hear. More than he can express well. He pauses, before redoubling his efforts to dig.]

Yes! Yes, it's me.

Stay still, I... called for help.

[percept]

Where...

[ No. No, he knows where he is. Or at least approximately, anyways. What's more troubling... ]

How long have I been out? How did you find me?

action

[thxforthememories]

Weeks? A month? I... I thought you were gone for good.

[Maybe if he shifts this rock over here, he can touch the other 'bot. Just reassure himself...]

I've been looking for Kay. Sensors... they picked you up.

[The blessing of prototype spy circuits, apparently.]

[sword_redemption]

Perceptor? What was he doing---


Never mind. Are you safe right now? Protected?

[voice]

[thxforthememories]

I don't know.

He's... still buried. I'll protect him. There's nothing else here right now. But if I have to... I'll protect him.

[voice]

[sword_redemption]

Sorry. Yeah. Sorry.

I can come out there if you need the help?

[voice]

[thxforthememories]

I need someone's help.

I can't move him on my own.

[showboater]

[All right, something to fight the stir-crazy!]

How's an airlift sound?

[organ_pharming]

I'd love to assist, really. It's just that I'm currently under house arrest.

[thxforthememories]

Who are you?

Re: video;

[organ_pharming]

You don't know? [Frown.]

I'd assumed everyone knew about me by now. What with this trial business, and all.

Suffice to say, I'm an amazing surgeon who also happens to posses a jet alt mode.

[video]

[showboater]

Who cares?

Re: [video]

[organ_pharming]

Oh, excuse me. I was under the impression a surgeon that was also capable of flight would be more useful then a simple flying machine. Silly me.

[video]

[thxforthememories]

... You can fly?

[video]

[showboater]

[...]

No, I have a ship that flies. You might have noticed it? Big, red, floats in the air?

[video]

[thxforthememories]

No.

I haven't been... I've been distracted.

[deadlydoctor]

Ey birdie, sounds like you could use a doctor.

[locked]

[thxforthememories]

I'm fine.

He's the one who's hurt.

[locked]

[deadlydoctor]

I understood that I was saying...nevermind. Didi you find someone to help you drag him to the medbay? I could fix him.

[locked]

[thxforthememories]

You can do that?
