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!

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

How's an airlift sound?

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.

[thxforthememories]

No.

I don't remember any 'trial'. [He was sort of dead for all that.] But if you were arrested, there must have been good reason.

Re: video;

[organ_pharming]

It hasn't happened yet. Which is aggravating, considering I'm stuck in my First Forged's temple until it does.

That depends. Without proof of my guilt, I wouldn't jump to any conclusions.

[thxforthememories]

You said you were arrested. "House arrest."

They must have had reason.

Re: video;

[organ_pharming]

I am suspected of a crime, yes. That does not mean I actually committed it.

video;

[thxforthememories]

Then we'll find another.

Re: video;

[organ_pharming]

You can try. From what I've seen on the comms lately, however, it looks like medics are in short supply.

[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.

Re: [video]

[showboater]

If you can't help, what's the point in bringin' it up at all? That's like danglin' a solution right in front of a guy's nose.

Re: [video]

[organ_pharming]

The thing is, I could help. If someone would appeal to the law council to let me do so, that is.

[video]

[showboater]

So... you want somebody else t'do your legwork?

Who exactly're you thinkin' you're talkin' to, here? He's busy, and I don't even know your name.

Re: [video]

[organ_pharming]

I doubt any requests I made would be acknowledged- me being the 'criminal' and all. A public request for my expertise is likely the only way it would even be considered.

It's Pharma. And perhaps you should have asked that first, instead of wasting time.

[video]

[showboater]

[He figured that was the plan here.]

Not happening.

[Well. He could work and talk, probably.]

Will Magnus work, or should I go above him?

[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.

[video]

[showboater]

...you know what? Okay, fine.

Anyway. I got a big ship. he's buried, right? I can come in from on top, do precision work until we can bust him out.

[video]

[thxforthememories]

Anything. Anything that might work.

It wouldn't harm him, would it?

[video]

[showboater]

Shouldn't. I'm good at my job.

[video]

[thxforthememories]

... All right. As long as he'll be all right.

[video -> action]

[showboater]

I can't help it if there's an accident, rocks're unpredictable.

But if we're careful, it'll be fine.

[Video shifts as he apparently sets down his Link device and settles on steering the Galleon.

The shadow the massive ship casts will be Kagerou's first sign of Marvelous's arrival.]
