[Video | Rung's Office]

[His attacker was gone. There had been words said but they'd fallen on deaf audios, Rung too consumed with pain from the entire little 'session' and that final blow to his chest. He'd been slumped on his desk when the other left, barely functioning--barely hanging on as his vents cycled weakly. For a long moment he just stayed as he was, the pain just too much to handle, to bear, and Rung knew that he was done.

This was it.

Several thoughts ran through his mind even as things started to just shut down and he forced himself to move one of his arms, reaching weakly around the desk for his comm unit that was always sitting there.

Fingers brushed it and he gripped it weakly, sliding it slowly but surely across the desk until he could activate it--not caring that it was set to automatically view as video.

Weakly he focused on it, unable to even lift his head from the desk as his remaining optic flickered just barely.]



...help..please...


[The words are barely above a whisper, barely words at all considering how mangled his throat is, the light in his optic slowly starting to fade despite his attempts to hang on.]


.....so..rry...I'm sorry...

[Blurr was close to put a hand on Kagerou's shoulder to try to get him back to reality when the others arrived. He gave Kagerou a squeeze before looking back at Prowl.]

We don't know yet. Rung's cry for help came when he was already too injured for us to help him.

[The racer looks down at what's left of his friend. He's not strange to death and while he doesn't show it the same way as Kagerou does he's deeply upset with the view.]

[His sensors pick up the new arrivals before he can hear or see them. At first, he tenses. And it only gets worse when he fails to recognize either one of them. His shoulders hunch up, the panes of his wings flaring, before it occurs to him that Blurr is not reacting. He's not afraid.]

[All right then.]

[The near-aggressive posture fades as quickly as it came on, and he resumes sitting blankly. Though...]

[Though the question earns the barest sound -- a soft scoffing noise -- and hollow words.]

He died. That's... what happened here.

[With Chromedome taking care of the outer perimeter, Prowl could focus on the scene at hand. Rung needed to be taken to Perceptor as soon as they finished securing the office. And Kagerou looked completely shellshocked. Blurr should probably help him back to HQ.]

[Whether or not Prowl felt disturbed by the sight was a mystery, his expression remained as distant as when he had arrived. He took care with his next question.]

I understand this must be difficult to process all at once, but I'm going to need to ask one more question: Can you point out where you found Rung when you arrived?
