[Accidental Video]
[It'd been a month since Magnus left.
The commander had been gone that long before, and Wheeljack almost expected the same this time around. So...when that time rolled around, and still no Magnus after constantly searching the feed...
It was time to call it quits.
The feed opens up to show a room-...or what's left of one. The walls are cracked, scorched, bent, or indented in some places, although that seems to be the most of the damage. The berth is relatively untouched, and any of Miko's and Bulkhead's belongings are actually safe from damage. Wheeljack's own stuff? a different story. Only one thing of Wheeljack's was left untouched--the sword Blurr gave him--which was put under the bed weeks prior.
Sounds like someone had a tantrum, and it shows, with Wheeljack standing in the center of the room, panting heavily from all the lashing out...at the wall.
...Do you feel better now, princess?]
Ngh...
[He slumps against the wall, sinking to the ground and curling up.
...Just like old times.]

I sincerely doubt that amount of damage was warranted. Are you aware we're rather understaffed in terms of qualified medics?
audio
Yep. I do, actually.
[That's all he has to say on the matter. Even if it was a lie.]
Wouldn't call four-and-a-half 'understaffed'. We functioned just fine with one back home.
audio
[Do you hear that skepticism, Wheeljack?]
Did you frequently engage in needless acts of self-endangerment back home, as well?
audio
Do I really need to answer this question? Or is it one of those rhetorical ones?
audio
[PAUSE...]
... I've unlocked the access doors to the lab. Waiting for a delivery of supplies and such.
[translation: Let me have a look at what you did to yourself, you moron.]
audio
[PAUSE...]
...And?
[He gets what you're hinting at, but he's got pride. It'll take a little more than that.]
audio
[He built it to withstand almost anything. As good a time to test it as any.]
audio
You want me over.

audio
I'll be a minute, but I'll be over.
[There's a sound of him getting up.]

action;
But he arrives, eventually, transforming and holding a case.]
action;
[Every movement is very controlled, very precise. Because of reasons. He doesn't look up when Wheeljack arrives.]
action;
I'll be in there awhile.
action;
... The room is well-shielded. But you aren't.
Just a reminder.
[And he turns to go back to work.]
action;
I can take a hit better than you know.
It...was a good idea, Wheeljack.
[He freezes a moment, wings flicking.]
action;
[But the stupid ringtone.]
[That stops him cold. And for a second, it looks as if Wheeljack physically struck him. Then he's back to scowling at his work.]
... You still have that.
action;
If you looked at Wheeljack, you'd swear he just stopped working. Malfunctioned on the spot and froze there. Magnus's voice rang through the lab, and it looked like Wheeljack just got shot.]
...Guess I do.
action;
[... and Perceptor can't really say he disagrees with the feeling.]
You don't need to hold onto it.
There are easier ways to... remember someone.
action;
...It's not like I need it.
Just forgot.
[You liar.]
action;
[He doesn't elaborate on that, though. But he'd been looking over old conversations, recently. He gestures to a device on the table.]
It's a storage unit. Digital, of course... in case you wished to preserve the audio file during... your exertions.
action;
[He picks it up, inspecting it a moment.]
action;
[Don't ask again, or he'll change his mind.]
action;
I'll keep it in mind.
[He grabs the case again.]
