Audio [Transmission Originating From: Solus's Temple]

[redshirtrobot]

[Fracas has been absent for a quite a while. Really, less absent, more... asleep. If nothing else, it's kept him out of trouble. He slowly sits up with a groan, looking around. What. What did he just get back from, even? Or... remember?

Oh. Oh.

He turns on his communicator. Audio-only for now; he's not really feeling up to video.]

I need to see a medic, if one's available. Not. Not Knock Out.

[And briefly, Fracas sounds almost angry.]

But I do need to speak to him.

... Could someone tell me what I've missed, while I'm at it?

Comments

[redshirtrobot]

Bulkhead, hey. I uhm. It's complicated but I just wanted to check something. To make sure there's no... problems, later.

[Fracas isn't sure how to say 'I don't know if I was bitten by a zombie or not and I don't want to try to eat my friends'.]

Hopefully it's nothing serious and I'm just being paranoid, but. Better safe than sorry.

[neverputincharge]

[To be fair he already kind of knows about the zombies anyway, thanks to Knock Out.]

Yeah, probably a good idea.

[He looks thoughtful]

As for what's been goin' on. Roads have been put on hold for the time being. Ambulon was tortured by Tarn on the link. [Catching a torturer and a murderer takes pretty high priority too of course.] We're gearing up now to go after him.

[He goes quiet for a second, while he tries to remember other stuff.]

Uh...one of the Megatrons took a bunch of people into the badlands, on purpose. They all came back more or less safe. [Including Miko, thank Primus.]

...speaking of Megatrons, yours is here now, in case you didn't know already. [Best to try and warn him, right? Right.]

[redshirtrobot]

[He'll be ultra-angry when he finds out about that; Knock Out just swore up and down to him that he didn't know anything about that.]

Blurr mentioned that too me. That's awful... [He manages a humorless laugh.] ... guess everyone is staying on their toes here and back home too.

Into the Badlands? Seriously? Well, at least everyone came back all right. Er. In one piece, at least? [He can hope everyone came back with their limbs attached.]

... Great. Thanks for letting me know. Actually, I probably ought to talk to him. He's not going to like what I have to say about Starscream and Knock Out, though. [But that's a risk he just has to take. With or without informing Megatron that he's going to be looking for employment elsewhere.]

[neverputincharge]

[Well Bulk can't see the locked convo, or he'd probably say something. Sorry Fracas.]

Yeah, a lot of people ain't happy about it, includin' ones that don't even know Ambulon. [Like McCoy, boy was he angry about it. But what can you do?] But like I said, we're gonna do something. Hopin' it won't be as bad as it was with Overlord.

[Aka: Not half the population dying.]

Yeah, everybody that went came back, so that's one upside. Brought some info back at least. Evidently there's a lot of them in there. [Which some some how shouldn't be surprising, but it's still a bit of a shock.

He tilts his head some that that list bit, though, wondering.]

What'd Screamy and Knock Out do now? [He's not quite putting it together that it might be related to what Fracas wants checked.]

[redshirtrobot]

Y-yeah. I hope it doesn't get as bad as Overlord, either. That... that was really awful.

[Since he got stepped on and all.]

Well that's not good news. A lot of monsters in the Badlands. But... if there's so many... what are they waiting for?

[Fracas snorts quietly, rubbing his own arms. This is awkward.]

They made zombies. Not... not like the ones that were just full of Dark Energon, though. Worse. They wiped out about half the Vehicons, and the Insecticons left. Good news for the Autobots, at least... [Unless he turns into one. That might put a damper on the construction of the roads.]
