[Perceptor's been trying to keep his head down, metaphorically speaking, since (re)arriving. He works best these days when he can sit back and observe for a while before making his move.]

[Unfortunately, he is still lacking a lab, and there's really only so much observation the scientist can make before even he gets bored. Those who know him best may note a certain air of restlessness about him as he cues up the link.]

[To everyone else, he looks the same as always - stoic with a faint echo of cross.]

What supplies are in the greatest need?

I'd wondered.

[After all, it's common knowledge that to be a Wrecker, one had to be utterly mad. Why bother having someone with Rung's skills work with any of them?]

[Perceptor considers Rung for a long moment. Rung might be able to offer another perspective on his... quandary. Or at least a sympathetic audio. If he can bring himself to expose his spark in such a way.]

[But Rung is bound by his own sense of honor, if not professional courtesy, to keep what he is told in confidence. And Rung... already knows enough of Perceptor's most damning secrets.]

[Perceptor slowly nods.]

I will... keep it in mind.

Good.

[He's glad you will, Perceptor. Because, believe it or not, Rung considers you a friend and worries.

A lot.]

Be safe while you're out and about Haven, alright?

[Well, there are so few of them here, after all. Not as if they can truly afford to be terribly choosy.]

[You have your work cut out for you, Rung; Kup hurt him more badly than anyone but Drift realizes. Fitting, isn't it?]

[But Rung's request, makes him pause... a little surprised. And touched.]

I will.

[In the world of the Wreckers, everyone hurts everyone else; it seems to just be a thing.

So he understands. And will do what he can to help.

The response makes him smile softly, optics dimming--softening as he nods.]

I will see you around then, Perceptor.
