[On the Prime verse Autobot frequency]

Uh...anybody heard from or seen Ratchet lately? Tried contactin' him, but it don't go through.

[[There's an edge of frustration, plus worry, to his voice. Not this again. Not. Again. Last time the medic disappeared, he'd gone to the badlands. Did he go there again? Ratchet, you're supposed to be smarter than this.

There's also a low mutter of 'Hoping he didn't disappear on us again'.]

[/locked]

[Sometime later after talking to the other Autobots and humans from his world, he sends out a short message to the rest of Haven.]

I'm...sorry ta report we're down a medic.

Ratchet seems ta have gone missin'.

[He stops himself from adding an 'again' at the end of it.]

[Scrap, she didn't know did she?]

He's gone missin' before. Not...long after I got here.

[robotfightclub]

[Her tone becomes much more serious.]

If he's gone missing before, maybe he went there again. Did he ever tell you where he went that last time?

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

That's what I'm afraid of.

He came back from the badlands last time.

Means he might be hangin' out with Unicron and his cronies.

[The shock in her expression is unmistakable. Clearly she wasn't prepared for the 'Ratchet' 'Unicron' combo.]

Why would Ratchet go somewhere like that? It doesn't make any sense.

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

I don't know [His own expression shifts to frustration, with a touch of anger.]

Ratchet should be better than that. He's better, smarter. He doesn't belong there!

[He's sorry Arcee, after seeing Ratchet disappear twice and you having disappeared once before too, he's frustrated, and just a little worried that you're going to disappear too. Then it'll just be him, Smokescreen and Wheeljack again.]

[robotfightclub]

[Sadly, Arcee's not aware of that.]

Hey, don't get mad at me.

[Only she's allowed to be angry, gosh.]

We're not going to get anywhere yelling at each other about it. We'll find Ratchet, we just need to stick together.

...We need that base.

[You're not his mombot!]

You try watchin'--

[And then he just cuts the connection, before he says something he'll regret.

Wow, rude.]

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

[And about fifteen minutes later, after he's calmed down some. The connection's back on.]

I aint mad at you. I'm just gettin' tired of everybody from the team, cept me, Smoke and Jackie, comin' then disappearin' a month or so later.




You've disappeared once too. [He's scared of losing you again, okay Arcee?]

[Video]

[robotfightclub]

[Yes, very rude, Bulk. In fact, if it wasn't for that last thing he mentioned, she'd probably turn off the feed or at the very least let him have it. Primus knows the last thing she needs to deal with is a tantrum.]

What are you talking about?

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

....

A...month after I arrived, you did. But we only heard from ya, like, once before we couldn't find ya.

Cliffjumper...he had been here too. Before I arrived, and seemed like you two disappeared around the same time.

This was around the time Optimus-- [He goes quiet.]

[Video]

[robotfightclub]

[...Does she really have to say anything? None of this is familiar and Cliffjumper is, well, dead. It's a good thing Bulkhead's family because this messing with her feelings isn't funny.]

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

[Arcee, you should know he wouldn't mess with you like that. He knows how hard you took Cliff's death.]

Wish I was lyin'.
