[the device appears to be balanced on the altar in megatronus's temple. ratchet thought it was a device to record his 'surgery']

[which is exactly what it's doing]

Stop struggling you stupid drone! I'm trying to do you a favour here!

[oh, that poor acolyte. there's a lot of energon on the altar, as well as all up ratchet's arms. particularly observant viewers may note a little bit on the wall behind him, too. looks like this wasn't his first attempt]

Remember your friend? He was doing so well until the idiot went and died on me. All I want to do is see what makes you tick, then maybe I can upgrade you so you give more coherent answers! Another Cybertron, honestly!

[he tears out a mechanism and puts it aside]

This would be so much easier with my tools...

[said as he practically shoves his arm inside it up to the elbow. someone, please save the poor thing]

[Not really and he's happy not to know.]

And if he says "don't" you're gonna claim you ain't goin' to stop?

[That right there is a snort and basically a roll of his optics because seriously, considering that Prime, you're not going to claim you wouldn't, huh, Ratchet?]

And the only sorta medbay you oughta be in is one that'd treat whatever's wrong with your processor!

That's for me to decide. I appreciate your concern, however.

[yeah no he'd do anything optimus would tell him to because he doesn't really want to get eviscerated.]

That would be an asylum, not a medbay. Try to learn basic medical jargon so I don't have to explain everything to you.

Yeah, sure as slag you would. [Another snort, static fuzzing it a little because yeah, no. He doesn't believeeee youuuu.]

Hey, whatever fits best. [Cliffjumper's optics narrow and he grins just slightly, shrugging.] I ain't a medic, but I know where glitched-out slaggers like you fit best.

[Oh yes, insult the crazy medic, good idea.]

Whatever helps you recharge at night.

[really good plan, really.]

Or, not. Megatron isn't here to protect you this time.

[oh, ratchet. he is.]

[It's an absolutely excellent plan because talking back and saying his mind is what he does! It's also what got him shot by the Prime. A lot.]

Yeah, except he is. [And then he crosses his arms over his chestplates.] I can fraggin' well take ya on my own, though!

Hiding behind Megatron's pedes quivering with fear isn't the same as "taking me".

If Megatron is here, it's only a matter of time until Prime arrives, too.

Shut the frag up! 'S not like I'm doin' anything of the sort right now, is it? Just told ya he was here since you were belabouring under the assumption he wasn't.

[With a grimace, Cliffjumper almost, reflexively, pulls out his gun at the mention of the Prime.]

Better fraggin' well not. And Megatron's been here for over a year, and no Prime. [Cliffjumper just hopes that, as it seems like it usually does, time goes differently and the abcense doesn't matter - which it doesn't seem to have done so far.]

[oh, cliff. you shouldn't give him the reactions he wants.]

A year is such a long time for our race, mm?

[But this is Cliffjumper, he either gives you the reactions you want, or get annoyingly in the way by not giving you what you want.]

In places like these they might as well be, 'cause people come and disappear all the time. [Scowl.]

Then don't get so attached to them, silly!

Yeah except I ain't some fraggin' drone or sociopath, if I wasn't gonna get attached to people I shouldn't have it for the millions of years the war's been going on!

[Throwing up his hands, Cliffjumper snorts.]

Not that you understand slag like that.

Of course I understand it. I'm not stupid.

[silly cliff he's insane! that's different from stupidity.]

This conversation is starting to get awfully ironic, don't you think?

I don't how how do ya figure?

[Ugh why is he even doing this he's going to have to take a bath for hours to get rid of the bad taste at having had this conversation - just on princple.]

I have full processing power, for one.

[just gonna tap his chevron to make it clear which body part he's talking about.]

So nice to see I have a friend here.

Rrr--- [Nope, he's done here.]

You're fraggin' delusional if ya think being capable of chop-shop medical procedures is all that's needed for full processin' capability. And we ain't friends!

[Of course, he knows Ratchet's not meaning it literally, but he's on edge and angry, so that's what comes out right before he gives a growl and disconnects. Bye bye, Ratchet.]

[But if you only could see the angry keymashing before Cliffjumper got ahold of himself and didn't send an angry text right back. No entertainment today, Ratchet.]
