WARNING: there be violence here! In the form of frenzy beating the shit out of Rung. Order of events is Rung made this post then went to see Prowl. Then stopped in at the games to pick up his dragon. Remembered he had something for Kagerou and went to Prima's temple to get it and was jumped.

----

[Rung's been pretty busy as of late, keeping to his office as he deals with a lot of stuff that's been going on and working with those that need his help.

But now..he has a few things that he needs to take care of.]

I just wanted to let everyone know that I will not be in my office at all today. If you need me for anything, feel free to contact me via a private comm.

[He smiles a bit sheepishly.]

I figured it might be best to actually get out of my office for a bit.




[LOCKED TO PROWL]

I hope you don't mind but I need to speak with you on a matter and will be stopping by shortly.

[Not that he'd really care all that much if you did mind, Prowl.]

[It's the first time that Perceptor has returned to Haven since the Games, having just dropped a load of human food supplies scavenged from the Wastes off at the bar - though he'd had to hide nearby for a while to wait for a moment when no one had been there to catch him at it. He's still not ready to deal with anyone, and especially not... not them, which is why he'd been staying beyond com range during the trip Out. He's skulking back toward the edges of Haven, trying to keep out of sight, when the text message arrives.]

Rung?!

[He's never heard Rung admit that he's scared like that before, not even as Rung had been recovering from being nearly killed aboard the Lost Light.]

I'm on my way!

[Could something have followed him back from the Wastes? What sort of monster could have gotten into Rung's office? Perceptor curses to himself as he transforms and guns his engine to get there as quickly as he can. It still takes him too long to arrive, and his cursing has become audible by the time he pelts to the door and shoves it open.]

[The carnage... stuns him for a moment.]

RUNG!

[But only a moment, and then he's dropping to Rung's side, crimping off torn lines, and doing everything he can to stabilize the shredded psychiatrist before his spark can flicker out.]

[Rung's..in a bit of a haze. He has been since Frenzy sent a message to Perceptor and gave the therapist that finally warning. The warnings have become just a fuzzy sound in his head as they continue to flash, a few weak sounds escaping his crushed vocalizer as he realizes that he's finally alone.

That Frenzy is finally gone.

A part of him just wants to curl up but he knows he can't, his movements limited because of the damages and he doesn't want to make them worse. There's a moment where he considers sending out another plea of help but...

It's a never ending cycle, isn't it? This sort of thing is always happening and others have to fix him. Or he dies. It's one or the other.

He honestly isn't aware of Perceptor's presence until he feels the touch and he immediately tenses, a low whine escaping him as he tries to focus--tries to plead with Frenzy to just leave him be--

But it's not who he thinks and relief floods him at the sight of the other.

That low whine turns into a pleading sound, Rung's vents hitching, cycling hard as he lets the scientist work, thankful that the other is there.]

I've called for additional medical staff, Rung.

[Perceptor keeps his voice low and soothing, if brisk as he works quickly.]

Stay with me.

[He disables what pain sensors he can as he works, though some... seem to be mangled beyond function, and will require more specific medical intervention to give Rung much relief.]

The others will be here, soon.

[Even if time seems to have stopped... at least outside. It's crawling by at a glacial pace as far as he is concerned, though Rung's fluids are leaking out frighteningly quickly. Until he crimps the last oozing line, that is.]

Someone is preparing Medical for us.

[Even if no one has said that they are, he has faith that it will be ready by the time they get there. It has to be.]

You're going to be all right.

[Or else.]
