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?

[redshirtrobot]

[Fracas, for his part, is unaware of any drama involving his body... at least for now. It's probably for the better, really, considering he's somehow nervous and angry all at once. Shockwave being here does help, though... if only because it surprises him just enough to be briefly rational.]

Knock Out and Starscream made zombies. Those things killed over half the other Vehicons and the Insecticons just up and left.

[He hesitates and - for a brief few moments - shakes.]

I-I had to shoot my coworkers in Maintenance. In the chest. No one's even going to care...

action

[noparachutes]

[A hand comes down on Fracas, fingers gently stroking the vehicon's head.]

We will find appropriate punishment for them.

[Because emotional Fracas would be harder to train, letting him get that out of his system would be beneficial. That and he lives and sleeps with the mech, dealing with this for a prolonged period of time is not a logical use of his time. It's like his own way of caring.]

action

[redshirtrobot]

[Fracas's shaking eventually subsides and he looks up to Shockwave.]

... Thank you.

[He knows he can be a hassle for Shockwave to handle, especially lately. Between Starscream's arrival and this he's been less than stellar emotionally and it makes him difficult to deal with. Which is why he's really grateful for Shockwave... being Shockwave. He calms Fracas down, even if he doesn't mean to.]

action

[noparachutes]

You have been out for a while, however you should be perfectly fine.

[He knows. He's been keeping a close optic on him.]

What has you so nervous for a medic?

action

[redshirtrobot]

[He hopes Shockwave is right. He really does.]

One of the zombies... may have bitten me, I don't know. I want one to make sure that I wasn't. But if I was...

[He exvents, expression going serious for a moment.]

If I was, someone has to kill me. Shoot me in the spark. Or it's going to start all over again.

action

[noparachutes]

You are fine, Fracas.

[He'll just continue to stroke the vehicon's head.]

I would have noticed if you were any different.

action

[redshirtrobot]

I hope so. I just want to make sure, before... I get a hankering for energon and try to eat someone.

[He leans into Shockwave's hand, closing his optics briefly.]

I don't want to start a plague.

action

[noparachutes]

You aren't going to eat anyone, and you will not be starting a plague.

[Really now Fracas, as if he'd let that happen.]

action

[redshirtrobot]

Okay. Because I really don't want to. I couldn't live with myself if I did that...

[Though he's pretty sure Shockwave wouldn't allow that. Thankfully.]

action

[noparachutes]

As I am the one you'd try and eat first, I can assure you that you would not get far.

action

[redshirtrobot]

I figured. I doubt I'd even dent your fuel lines, honestly. Even with that... tongue-thing they have.

action

[noparachutes]

Tongue thing?

action

[redshirtrobot]

When they changed they got this... tongue. Kind of looked a little like one of the Driller's tendrils, actually. It's. What they attacked with.

action

[noparachutes]

[Fracas you are dating the wrong mech. The one guy with mandibles and a pet with tentacles.

The hand atop the vehicon's head moves to tilt his head up.]

You are just fine, if that is the case.

[He'd notice if you had a new tongue.]

action

[redshirtrobot]

[He will be okay with that again. Eventually.

When the nightmares stop.

He looks up at him, nodding a little.]

I guess so. I don't feel like I have new appendages or like I want to eat someone, anyway...

[That's a good sign in his book.]

action

[noparachutes]

[A very good sign. Means he doesn't have to kill someone he's put so much work into.]

There's nothing to worry about. Once you are checked over we can head back to the proper temple.

action

[redshirtrobot]

[Really, Fracas would rather not have to be killed. He doesn't remember dying the first time, but one time was enough for him.]

Yeah... it's a little weird waking up here, without being like. Horribly maimed or something.

action

[noparachutes]

Far preferable to the alternative though, I imagine. They insisted you stay here.

action

[redshirtrobot]

Huh. Well, I guess they like to look after their own Glyphed when something like this happens. And since I'm still aligned to Solus and all... being here makes sense.

action

[noparachutes]

Hn.

[He wasn't particularly fond of the whole ordeal. Spending so much time in a temple with so many Autobots and not being able to crush any of them. A temple where it was frowned upon if you accidentally broke a wall, or your pet accidentally created large holes in the floor.]
