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

[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!

Thank you, Kagerou.

The technicians have been working hard since this began. I believe they may still have space for him, however.

Can you do me another favor, Kagerou?
thxforthememories: (Yes I'm listening.)

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2013-02-07 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
They have to. He needs them -- what are we supposed to do if they can't help him?

... What is it?

I don't know.

There were so many, I did not expect that this would ever occur.

[Yup. It is hell here, just like they'd talked about before.]

I'm going to need a good wedge-rock to work with to pull them off without others coming down. Can you look and see if there are any rocks that can be moved without risk?
thxforthememories: (Crap I dropped it.)

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2013-02-07 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
Has this... ever happened before?

[He's smashed as many of the smaller ones as possible, but they just don't seem to end.]

A... wedge rock. I can look.
mccrane: (CRANE--rolling along)

Not to me. Not for this many days.

I remember monsters when we first arrived, though.

[That had still been hard, but with Deckerd they'd been able to turn Gunmax into the MAX-CANNON and it had been...better. Other than Gunmax using too much fuel.]

That will help.

[He's almost there.]
thxforthememories: (You people look like ANTS.)

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2013-02-07 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
But it didn't last as long as this?

[That's not very comforting. It probably means something terrible is going to happen. Or something.]

I'll do my best to find one.

No. And they were not so thick.

[He drives, and drives, and after a bit you'd see his dust on the horizon. Its one of the many times he's been glad for the energon upgrade.]

thxforthememories: (How many licks DOES it take?)

[action]

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2013-02-13 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
... That isn't good.

[In the meantime, he's just going to go about finding that rock thing. And trying to dig Perceptor out on his own.]

[Stubborn ninjabot.]

It worries me, as well.

[But what doesn't worry McCrane?]

[When he finally is able to pull up, he transforms carefully, surveying the area.]

Is there anyone else coming?
thxforthememories: (... I should go.)

[action]

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2013-02-13 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[He's dirty, banged up, and has a big rock in his hands. But he looks relieved to see someone.]

I don't know yet. You responded first.
mccrane: (standing--long side view)

[He looks Kagerou over for a moment, needing to see what state he's in before he makes a decision on how this is going to work.]

Then we'll do it with the two of us, unless another arrives.

[That rock would be a perfect wedge rock.]

Where is he?

[He asks as he's already moving to check.]
thxforthememories: (Gratuitous crotch-shot)

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2013-02-15 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Unfortunately, he keeps twitching around, unable to keep still this time. Normally, he could stand as perfectly motionless as a statue. But... not now. Not when he's so worried.]

All right. I'll do whatever I have to.

[He shifts his weight, reaching down to touch an arm he'd uncovered.]

Here.
mccrane: (Back--EPIC POSING)

[personal profile] mccrane 2013-02-15 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
That is good. Can you put the wedge rock...

[He looks above Perceptor, trying to map out roughly where the bot must be under the rubble and thinking about where to put the first wedge rock.]

There.

[He gestures to a point.] Between those two other rocks. Make sure it is in there very firmly, so the rocks won't move when we begin lifting other rocks off of him.

[And the proceedings for unearthing Perceptor will begin!]
thxforthememories: (Assume the position.)

[action]

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2013-02-15 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yes!

[And he all but scrambles to do it. Literally. It's clear he wants to help, and badly. Whatever he has to do, in order to help a friend.]

I'll get it.
mccrane: (CRANE--towing stuff)

[action]

[personal profile] mccrane 2013-02-17 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
You're doing well.

[And Mccrane will enlist Kagerou's help for a number of things--placing wedge rocks, then tying his crane hook around rocks to move them one at a time, then placing more wedge rocks. It will be a lot of work.]
