[Video] [Transmission from: Vectorian Temple] - Seventh Offense | Post Ultimate Showdown

[namesnotprowl]

[Barricade is looking... slightly more tired than usual when he starts up the video. He'd been helping to fix the injured as they came in and - when that was done - drove all the way to Vector's quadrant and harassed the Acolytes about where a certain speedster was located. He exvents slowly before he finally speaks.]

Did what I could in the medbay for the injured. If anyone involved in the operation is listening... good work. You did our little society proud.

Now. If anyone needs me, I'll be in Vector's temple.
Someone ought to be here when Blurr wakes up.

[Besides, someone had to put the pieces of him back together. Why not him?]

[For Blitzwing? Barricade can manage a smile. It's slight, but it's there.]

Well. When you're a medic and an arrest hospitalizes a decent number of cops, Wreckers, and other participants...

Lucky for them that I don't mind being kept busy, but I could use a breather after this.

[Though watching over his friend's body is not exactly the breather he had envisioned. Still, he tries to let his tone convey that he's okay, just emotionally exhausted. No reason to worry.]

Mm. I can imagine how much time zhat consumes.

[He pauses.]

If zhere's anyzhing you require assistance with, I could offer a servo.

Different extents of injuries on mech of different base body types from different dimensions that have their own quirks. One wonders how medics here do it, sometimes.

[He hesitates himself for a moment, thinking the offer over.]

Well. I wouldn't mind some friendly company. Particularly if they managed to secure some highgrade.

[Barricade won't say it, but he doesn't do particularly well alone. Especially in circumstances like this.]

[Video]

[thermosomatic]

Indeed. It must be fascinating.

[It's not very often someone says "Hey Blitzwing, let's hang out". Actually... no one ever says that. And probably for good reason. Which is probably why he hesitates for a second before nodding.]

Very well. Vector's temple, zhen?

[namesnotprowl]

You have no idea.

[To be fair, Barricade is more than used to a wide array of personalities with varying amounts of volatility, all of whom tended to be in his vicinity at the same time. Blitzwing is practically like home to him.]

Exactly that one. The altar room where new arrivals usually wake up.

[Video] ----> [Action]

[thermosomatic]

I will be zhere soon, then.

[Blitzwing nods, and hangs up.

It doesn't take too long to get there, although he has to wonder about the reason for Barricade to be camping out in an altar room... Well, he supposes, he'll find out when he gets there.

As he lands and approaches, he pulls a few cubes of highgrade out of his cockpit and hands one out to Barricade.]

I believe you mentioned a need for zhis.

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

[The reason should be obvious when Blitzwing arrives, Blurr's body (or the pieces of it, rather) being on said altar. Barricade is in significantly better shape than the Autobot, his plating relaxing and settling in its housings at the other mech's arrival... and the appearance of the cubes.

He offers another small smile as he takes the cubes, speaking quietly.]

My hero. I owe you one for this.

[Action]

[thermosomatic]

I don't know if "hero" is zhe right word for me.

[Blitzwing nods his head and takes a moment to examine the pieces of Blurr's body laying on the altar before he takes a seat next to Barricade.]

Strange. To see him quiet for once.

[Okay, joking about the dead is a bad thing but the way he says it is more... in awe, or musing, than it is insulting.]

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

Depending on circumstances, "hero" can be appropriate to most folks, I find. Even mechs like you and me.

[Barricade lets his wings flick down as he looks at Blurr's body. The comment doesn't seem joking to him, really.]

It is. Keep expecting him to sit up and start talking about something.

[It's a strange sensation. He reminds himself to put Blurr back together before the speedster gets back. The only thing worse than coming back from the dead would probably be coming back to a dismantled body.]
