[Raf comes on the video, looking somewhat worse for the wear - but only in that he's been busy, and he shows it. he's a little scruffy, a little dirty, but looks incredibly pleased with himself as he waves.]

Hey guys! For the last little bit, I've been working on a project, and I've just now got it to where I think I can show it off-

[-and he moves his Device to what looks like...a small garden of sorts. we're talking only a few feet square, but there's soil in there, there's what looks like UV lamps, and what could be a water pump?

more to the point. there's things /growing/ in it. green things. Ratchet's nearby, working some of the machinery, before pausing in confusion as Raf continues]

I was getting kind of tired of living off canned beans and everything, so I figured if we could get this on a bigger scale, we could have more food for people like me, Miko, Korra...and everyone else!

...Raf, where did you find this particular component?

Huh? [Raf turns, taking a moment to spot what Ratchet's pointing at] The pump? It was in the box I brought the other day, remember?

[and this is Ratchet looking somewhere between disturbed and...perplexed]

Ah...I think we need to talk.

[after a moment of confusion from Raf...he then cuts the feed]

Comments

[rotafortunae]

.... right. So should I be congratulating you on your pragmatism or worried that you've drawn a poor hand...?

[not_halfbaked]

...Well, when Ratchet's done talking with you, check back with us, all right?

[video]

[tearsofsteel]

[004 isn't concerned with the garden at the moment.]

You need to get away from that robot.

[Video]

[angleofscience]

Is that---er.

[Wow, that isn't awkward at all, though Jetfire merely shakes his helm. A talk would probably be suitable, yes.

Basic anatomy lesson, if nothing else.]

... I suppose it's an, er... effective re-use of parts if nothing else.

[If a bit... morbid, or maybe more like crude. It hadn't even been reforged or anything!]

Impressive work, however.

[deusexraf]

I'm...not really sure?

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

You should carve your name onto it.

[ex_dishonestly997]

Is that what it looks like?

[because gross.]

[Vid]

[energy_tanked]

That's forward thinking of you.

[Granted her suit can keep her sustained for quite a while but actually eating was a much more comfortable way to get energy into her system.]

action;

[docbot]

[ Ratchet crouches down to get on Raf's level a bit better, then points at the fuel pump. ]

This... is more than just a pump, Raf.

VIDEO;

[elkmobile]

What sort of garden are you making?

action;

[deusexraf]

[Raf will just be coming over for a better look what's going on Ratchet D:]

What do you mean...?

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

[He has no idea what the hubbub is, but what he DOES know is that that's a garden.

And a bigger scale garden is a farm.

And farms mean--]

And then can we get a cow?!

[He bounces eagerly and it shows quite well thanks to the shaking screen.]

action;

[docbot]

Ah... There really is no easy way to explain this. [ Ratchet doesn't quite poke at it, but he motions at it helplessly with his hands. ]

This is an extremely unorthodox pump because it's a Cybertronian fuel-pump. Somewhat equivalent to the "heart" in humans. Probably rather efficient, but ... not exactly, er, socially acceptable to use?

action; 1/?

[deusexraf]

[oh]

2/?

[deusexraf]

[safjkgasfkg what]

3/3 eh i need more icons for him

[deusexraf]

[NO REALLY WHAT THIS IS RAF'S HORROR FACE]

I didn't- I didn't realize that, Ratchet, I'm sorry, I'll find something else, [OH GOD HE JUST USED ONE OF YOUR HEARTS TO POWER HIS GARDEN WHAT]

[rotafortunae]

Huh.

Well, personally I think it looks like a full house! Well done. One must simply hope you didn't accidentally use a bit of someone's very favorite doomsday device in its construction, hmm?

[ooc]

[rotafortunae]

[USED HEARTS TO POWER SOMETHING YOU SAY]

[Video]

[sariexmachina]

[Oh hey, another kid! And Ratchet! It's almost enough to perk her up despite everything, but ew gross, vegetables!]

But you're growing vegetables? Who's going to eat those? Where are the french fries?

[Because she's not hungry at all, nope! It's not like food hasn't been hard enough to find that even the crap the Autobots used to try to feed her might look GOOD at this point or anything!]

Video

[idle_time]

[Wreck-Gar's surprise is, for the moment, focused more on Raf himself than on the fuel pump.]

The following program is suitable for minors?

[organ_pharming]

Teaching the organic some of your surgery techniques, Ratchet? That doesn't look sanitary.

[video]

[deusexraf]

[he seems somewhere between mortified and embarrassed and]

Hey.

[deusexraf]

Not...quite. Just a wrong part.

[video]

[deusexraf]

...what? Why? He's my friend!

[Video]

[deusexraf]

I'll probably end up changing it.

[SO. EMBARRASSED.]
