[Video][Nexus Quadrant]

[dirge]

[Anyone passing by a certain area of Nexus's quadrant may have heard a terrible crunch of metal and some spectacularly loud howls of pain a couple minutes before this recording. The camera flicks on and it shows mostly Dirge's face, scrunched up in pain, a stream of energon sliding down one side of his jaw.]

...I'm stuck.

[The zoom adjusts, revealing the teal jet pinned to the ground on his back like an exotic butterfly by a sharp, rocky outcropping piercing him straight through the gut.]

What's worse... my lunch got away.

...seekers.

[Knock Out winces slightly, but his pokerface is back after a few seconds.] What are your coordinates?

Lunch? I did not know that energon could run away.

Re: [Video]

[dirge]

...I don't know. [Normally he could use his HUD to bring that up but it's flooded with warnings and errors messages at the moment.]

It can't. I was....urgh... [He turns away to retch, coughing up the energon internal bleeding has begun to fill his tank with.]

...was chasing a turbofox. [The clone looks utterly miserable, claws splayed on the ground, wincing at any small movement.]

[Video]

[deadlydoctor]

That doesn't help me much. Surprising, I know. Don't move, I will try to find you. [He stares at the video for a bit, trying to memory the things that are surrounding Dirge.

And why on Primus's name did you do such thing? They're almost impossible to catch.

[namesnotprowl]

[Hey Knock Out. You're getting another call.]

I've got his coordinates. Sending them now.
Get here.

[Ker-ping!]

Re: [Video]

[dirge]

I wanted to see what it tasted like. And nobody told me they were impossible to catch!

[video] go on and be mean to the little girl, dirge

[place_in_the_sun]

D-do you need help, jet-san?

Re: [video] why do snacks have to show up when i am impaled

[dirge]

[Oh look, its one of those smaller humans. 'Kids', he seems to remember them being called. He'd make the usual remark about her size being convenient for swallowing but...]

Jet what? [He's pretty sure his name is still Dirge. Possibly Dirge Burns now but... well, who was he to turn down an extra name?]

Euurgh.... if you really want to be helpful- go catch that fragging turbofox. [Whine]

[video]

[place_in_the_sun]

M-mister jet? [Is that better?]

What's a turbofox? Did it attack you?

Re: [video]

[dirge]

[Wow, he is just racking up the names here! Who know being impaled would have a side benefit like that?]

Oh, they're delicious little things~ Very fast though. [Wince]

No, it tricked me. [He whimpers, grimacing at the sharp rock sticking up through his midsection.]

[Video]

[toguidethem]

[WHAT?]

You're stuck???

[Alright Cody, calm down and assess the situation.]

You need a medic Dirge. Sit still and wait until one arrives. Try not to move too much or you might injure yourself some more.

Re: [Video]

[dirge]

[Groan] No, no... I can't leave until I catch it.

[He tries to sit up a little but that is a HUGE mistake and why doesn't he ever listen to common sense?]

...I think something inside just went 'snap'.

[Video]

[toguidethem]

Stay still and wait.

[He saw the interaction with Knockout, and he wonders if it's safe to assume that the red Cybertronian is a medic. No, it's never safe to assume.]

That red robot you were talking to earlier, is he a doctor?

Re: [Video]

[dirge]

If I wait, it'll get away...

[But he's already tried pulling himself off the sharp rock and that had hurt so much he'd almost passed out.]

I think so. Unless he just wants to know where I am so he can come laugh at me.

[Video]

[thermosomatic]

[A totally unsympathetic laughing fit from Random. Sorry -- oh wait, no he's not.

Once he settles down, he switches out to Icy and sighs.]

How did you manage to do zhat?

Re: [Video]

[dirge]

[Dirge growls at the laughing, but that just makes things hurt worse and its fades into a soft whimper.]

It's not funny. I was chasing a Turbofox.

[He hisses, clutching at his sides and trying in vain to keep from coughing up anymore energon.]

[Video]

[thermosomatic]

Ja, ja, I heard zhat part. I vas speakingk more of zhe injuries.

[namesnotprowl]

Stay where you're at, I'll pull your coordinates from this transmission.

Do I even want t'know, darlin'?

Re: audio;

[dirge]

Can't really go anywhere anyway... [Dirge grumbles, because if he could, he'd be up and after that Turbofox right now.]

You're just going to yell at me.

audio;

[namesnotprowl]

Yeah, well, don't move. Primus only knows what all's been ruptured.

Now, now, Dirge. I might not yell at you.
[He might snarl at you instead!]

[Video]

[tearsofsteel]

Can't say I'm surprised.

[Albert's got 00sympathy for this guy.]

Re: [Video]

[dirge]

I don't usually get myself impaled on things! [Okay, there was that one time, but Megatron had done it to him on purpose.]

[Video]

[tearsofsteel]

Like with the bullet in your eye?

[rednotbluethx]

[CACKLING]

Re: [video]

[dirge]

[Glare] You're not going to be laughing when I'm after you instead of a turbofox, next time.

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

You couldn't catch me if ya tried, numb bolts. An' even if I did slow's down, it's t'serve yer sorry aft a mad beat down.
