[001 | Video - Static Ahoy!]

[shutupndrive]

[It had taken a moment or two..maybe it was three--he really couldn't say--but when everything had finally settled and he'd gotten most of his bearings back, realization hit him as he peered at the mark on his arm.

He'd seen that mark before. Primus it had been awhile but he'd had that mark on his arm before.

Pushing himself up, Smokescreen had tried to activate his navigation systems but nothing was working right and he had no idea how long it had been since he'd been here before. Looking around didn't really help with his problem, considering he was pretty sure he was in the middle of the Badlands.

Lucky, it seemed like his comms were still working, though they were full of static.

It was something though.]

--anyone c-c-copy?

This--Smokesc--n.

[Man he hoped someone would be able to understand this.]

Not sure--w-w-where I am. Badlands--? Navigation systems not---king.

--could use some help.

[Anyone? Someone?]

[Bulkhead wasn't quite sure he was believing his audio receptors. First Ratchet, now...Smokescreen?

Or...at least he sounded like him through all the static.]

Smokescreen?

[There's confusion and a bit of wariness. This can't be real. Didn't he mention the badlands?]

[Ratchet hears that familiar voice and sees who it is.

His optics widen.]

Smokescreen? [His voice is urgent as he tries to take in the other's surroundings, and his condition.

The Badlands? He had yet to go there but... he's heard bad things about it already. Which makes the situation that much worse.]

Smokescreen...?

[It can't be. No, it. Just can't be. That's impossible. He'd given up trying to trace that signal.]

[This is a joke.]

I'm assuming you've got help on the way. Have them bring you to the medbay immediately.
