[Oh, look!]

[Ambulon sounds a little... tired. Actually, very tired. But it's not really a physical exhaustion. Either way, he keeps his tone level if a bit curt and hollow.]

I'll be scarce around the clinics the next few days. Sorry for my inconvenient absence.

[LOCKED TO THE POLICE FORCE/LAW COMMITTEE (yes, even Tarn can see this)]

I do not remember how I died, but I do remember the hours leading up to it. Tarn is the one responsible. Or am I going to have to provide some sort of evidence? You may not have seen him in the... recording. But he was there.

If you need any sort of statement or report, I can give you that. Just... give me a little time. [He's got to scrape the remains of Splat off the floor--thanks, Tarn.]

Needless to say, reconsider keeping him on your committee.

[LOCKED TO SOLUS]

It seems I've lost my upgrades, but... I still owe you a favor.

[LOCKED TO NEXUS]

I'm not sure if this is allowed, but may I get another room?

Good to see you, too, Blurr.

I'm still working on a report. It may take a bit. [Because thinking about the incident is... not very fun.] If you need me to come down to the station... I'd. [Hmm] Would you mind sending an escort? [He's kind of embarrassed but... pride < safety, right now.]

And... No, I'm fine. Elita One is coming over soon.

[and, with some hesitation]

I'm concerned about Drift. He may be Tarn's next target. I know Drift has a... better chance of defending himself and fighting Tarn, but he's... Keep an eye on him, would you?

[That gets a brief smile out of him.]

Take all the time you need. Are you sure you want to write it right now? We have enough evidence so far, I don't want you to push yourself so much.

[Blurr imagines how bad it can be. He had a hard time the first months he was here because he remembered being crushed to almost death by Shockwave.] Of course that won't be a problem. I was going to ask you if you wanted to have some agents assigned to you for some time.

Are you really sure? I could come later, or let Frank with you. He makes good company.

The video was directed at him, we are aware of it. Not like we didn't suspect that before.

I don't expect to be away from work for very long.

I'm switching out rooms. I'll tell you my location once I do.

I hate asking you this, but I appreciate it nonetheless. With my... with my old alt mode back, I can only go by foot. [There's a joke here, but now's not the time.] I wouldn't mind an escort then, but... If Tarn does attempt anything, I want them to--to be heavily armed and prepared.

[sigh] I spoke to Wing. I told him it'd be best if someone followed Drift in the shadows as well. I don't think Drift would approve, and I'm not sure Wing would either, but if anything, there will be someone there to quickly intervene or alert the police or--or I don't know. [NOW HE'S FRUSTRATED] Drift can fight I know he can fight at least he can fight and probably have more success in damaging Tarn at least enough to get away or buy some time at least he can efficiently protect himse--

[Oh, oops. Ambulon's started shaking and talking fast and angry. Uh, sorry, Blurr. Give him a moment.] Right. Anyway, I'll... I'll work on my report and go to the station once I've moved and you've sent an escort.

I know that focusing on work can help you to not think about what happened, I did that too, but it would be good if you went to see Rung or talked to someone about it as well. For your own sake.

I can talk with the Wreckers, they are the best escort possible . [Heavily armed and prepared is probably what 'Wreckers' means in one of the universes. ~~Crazy badass motherfuckers is what it meant in all the others.~~]

We will look after him, I promise you. I'll talk to the FirstForged before things gets out of hand again.

[Blurr is silent for a bit, waiting for Ambulon to get a hold of himself. He wished he know show to properly help the medic bot.]

I don't think you should push yourself so much now, Ambulon.

[Man, it's weird when you're the doctor and someone who isn't is giving you medical orders/suggestions. Ambulon would have said the same thing in regards to Rung, but for some reason, the idea of him going...]

[So let's not address it at all!] A Wrecker seems sound. [He's hiding the shame in his voice really well!] If they're willing to volunteer, that is.

I'm not pushing myself. [And now he sounds a little defensive!] I'm capable of going back to work in the next few days. I may have to... put some space between myself and a few certain things, but I'll be fine.

I'll go with you to consult the Firstforged. I think... I think Tarn is one of Prima's? [NOW HOW DID THAT HAPPEN] We should speak to him.

[Doctors sometimes need help too, It's nothing to be ashamed of. Blurr doesn't mean that you have to go right now, but eventually it could help.]

[Don't think he doesn't notice you avoiding the issue, Ambulon.] I will formalize a request but I'm almost sure that they will offer their help. They are as frustrated with all this as we are.

[Blurr understands the reaction, he doesn't say anything about it and keep his tone of voice as calm and soft as he can. It's hard not to speak as fast as he always do.] I know you are a capable doctor and a very good one. But I worry that bottling things up might end in more pain for you too.

... PRIMA!? [Blurr had no idea. My god.]Ah, alright. I have to contact McCrane first and then we will formalize a request.

[Doctors are the worst patients, man.]

[W-Well, just pretend you didn't notice!] Yeah.

It's not... not bottling up. [murmurs] Just dealing with it at my own pace, and by myself. But that's not to say I'm not... speaking to anyone. I just would rather avoid certain things.

Don't ask me. I don't really know how the Firstforged think anymore.

[Silly doctor >8[

That's not good, Ambulon.]

I've been there, done that Ambulon. More or less, something happened to em when i was in my world and I had a really bad encounter with a Decepticon names Shockwave. I had nightmares for months and I still can't stay into small rooms for a long time. Talking about it with others helped more than I was expecting.

I'm quite lost myself.

[To counter: TURN THE TABLES ON THE PERSON TO AVOID ANSWERING]

Have you considered speaking to Rung?

[Spoilers. IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK.]

I've been seeing Rung for months.

[LEMONGRAB SHRIEKING]

I'm surprised. Usually everyone avoids a therapist. [bitter bitter smirk]

[/CACKLE OF SUCCESS]

Usually everyone has a hard time admitting that things aren't going the way they should. You are a doctor, you should know.

[ugh, your logic is pissing him off, how dare you]

Right. I should go, however. Have some moving to do.

[He doesn't wait for a response. Just ends the transmission. Wow, and to think this is probably the last thing he says to Blurr before he bites it.]
