[Well, contrary to all his talk and all his... well. Arguing with people. When Sideswipe's video feed turns on, he's curled in a ball of silver misery. He's buried himself under a tarp and... ]

[... appears to be shaking.]

It's cold. It's not supposed to be cold on this planet. Is it?

[Wow he sounds crankier than usual. Something's got to be wrong.]

I haven't had a decent fight in weeks and everything is just... it hurts.

[Yeah that's a whine. He curls under the tarp a little more, looking pathetic as possible. Which may not actually be an act.]

[Looks like someone smashed themselves into that nifty robot flu.]

I want a medic.

[One more whine before he turns off the feed.]

Argento?

[You sound like you're dying, Sideswipe, you little princess.]

My flag is still in the room.

[He's totally dying. Totally. This is not at all an exaggeration.]

How exactly is your flag supposed to help?

It'll keep you warm.

[See, he IS thinking of you.]

[There's another whine. And rustling. As he digs under the tarp.]

I don't know where it is.

...

How can you not find it? It is as big as life!

[And gaudily coloured.]

Do you need me to head back?

I could run a quick scan on you.

[He stares at Sideswipe in silent for a few seconds before saying with a straight face:]

You are dying.

You're not even here to look!

Who are you, anyway?

How observant of you.

I'm Knock Out, one of the resident doctors. Your memory is that bad, wheels?

No, you just weren't that memorable.

Or maybe your processor is failing because you are going senile. You do look old.

Wow, this is in poor taste. No-one cares.

[HE THINKS HE'S SO CLEVER FOR THIS.....]

For someone who doesn't care... you're talking a lot.

Eight words isn't "a lot".

More than someone who "didn't care" would say.

If that's what you want to believe.

... So it ain't just me?

[Cliffjumper's not precisely curled up in a ball or anything, but he's rather hunched over and doesn't look very happy. And his vocie is rougher than it normally would be.]

Was sure it was nothin', but... [He grimaces and the vent in rattles.]

[He pokes his head out from under the tarp.]

No.

I guess we're all dying.

Except you sound worse.

Pro'bly just some stupid misalingin' or somethin' [Cliffjumper knows the symptoms of the human-type flu and this doesn't make sense so it's nothing, even if he knows he should go to the medic.]

Feels 'bout what it sounds like. [Grumble. And he feels too hot.] Though pretty sure we ain't gonna die.

Maybe for you. I'm not... misaligned. Anywhere.

[As he curls even further under the tarp. His voice is muffled.]

How do you know? Are you a medic?

How do you know?

[Echoing his question right back at Sideswipe, Cliffjumper grumbled quietly as he curls up and then sits up again - he aches and just sort of wants to curl up, but he feels too hot in general and hotten when he does that. He's not sure if the cooling systems are glitched or the diagnostics program is.]

An' no, but it sorta reminds me of human flu... Even if we can't fraggin' get human viruses...

If you were human I would say it sounds like you have the flu.

Do you robots have a version of the flu?

[because giant robots getting sick sounds weird to her.]

What's a flu?

[... does that answer the question. Because it's a resounding "no, we don't", in Sideswipe speak.]

It's a virus, sweetie. The symptoms that you're complaining about, the shivering and aches, are the same that come along with it.

I assume that something like this isn't normal for you guys?

I have anti-virus... stuff.

[He doesn't actually know that for sure, but he feels mildly insulted by the thought of being told he has a virus. So protesting is go.]

I would know if it was. And it's not.

Maybe your anti-virus 'stuff' needs an upgrade. New viruses are made all the time, after all.
