[No video for you, kids. Gunmax isn't about to put his face all over some mystery space internet. You do get to listen to him complain, though.]

Oookay then, now that I'm pretty sure I'm not having some kind of sensory malfunction, I figured I oughta start getting information out of the locals. The creepy dudes in the robes already dropped what I assume are the basics on me, but there's gotta be more to this than "hi, welcome to the robot planet. You're stuck here forever, make yourself at home". I kind of had things to do back home. Important things. Things that didn't include being kidnapped by alien robots.

Anyway. It's probably a long shot, but if any Brave Police just happen to be hanging around here, shoot me a heads up. Oh, and if anyone happens to find a really big motorcycle, that's mine. Try not to mess with it, yeah?

[Nope not even dropping a name. What a courteous guy right. He grumbles something to himself before killing the feed.]

[Just have a dry look, Ratchet.]

Boo hoo.

It still didn't give you the right to kill them!

[letmefixyou]

[HAVE ONE BACK, RATCHET.]

Of course it did! As the better - sentient - life form, I can do whatever I want to them. Evidently the police force didn't care much, either!

Did I tell you about how I just walked out of my cell? That was fun.

[neededthat]

You...

[JUST WHAT.

Someone hasn't been paying attention to his communication device. Then again, it shouldn't be so surprising that he got in jail.]

Just walked out? But how...

[letmefixyou]

Like I said.

Evidently the police force don't care about the drones as much as they want us to think they do.

[HE'S GRINNING SO MUCH OH MY GOD.]

[neededthat]

[His shoulders tense.

Well, that's not a good sign. And he looks off screen, his lips pursing into a thin line as he pushes whatever is off screen, further back and away from view.

But he turns towards the feed.]

The drones help us. Then again, you're too busy killing them to bother even giving them the time of day!

[letmefixyou]

[well, there was that sickness as well but at least he didn't stab mccrane?]

Oh, please. I've only killed two of them! If you really want something to get angry about, maybe I'll see about upgrading that annoying green mech with the large chin. Who is intent on proving you as the good Ratchet.

[UPGRADE HIM TO DEAD.]

[neededthat]

[He stands up, slamming his palms on the palms down on the desk he's at and points a scolding finger into the feed.]

Don't you dare lay a digit on him.

[letmefixyou]

[oh! that wasn't quite the reaction he expected! maybe the other ratchet has a care about the idiot. don't mind while he giggles a little.]

Oh, I'm not promising anything! Seeing as you're all so intent on making me the villain.

[COULD IT BE because you're a violent psychopath??? WHO KNOWS.]

[neededthat]

I swear to Primus, if you do anything to him...

[He wouldn't go as far as killing him. Optimus wouldn't condone such a thing.

But.]

[letmefixyou]

[sharply:] What? You'll what?

[neededthat]

[HE DOESN'T KNOW OKAY.

Gosh you're an asshole.]

[letmefixyou]

[he laughs.]

That's what I thought.

[and cuts the feed. stew in your own anger!]

[thxforthememories]

We aren't drones!

[neededthat]

[He flinches.]

Kagerou...

I didn't mean you, I meant the Acolytes.

[He knows you aren't a drone.]

[thxforthememories]

He didn't.

He hurt one of our own. Possibly two. That was who he meant when he spoke of the jail.

private

[neededthat]

[Oh geez-

He vents a sigh and shakes his head.]

Kagerou, I'd suggest you and your friends stay as far away from him as possible.

private

[thxforthememories]

I planned on it.

That was why I warned Gunmax. McCrane... didn't have that chance. To be warned.

Re: private

[neededthat]

Well, he'll know from now on.

He'll be dealt with. I don't know how, or when, but. He will.

private

[thxforthememories]

He should be dropped into the Badlands and forgotten.

[letmefixyou]

[there's a mock gasp.]

You've unionized?

[thxforthememories]

I wasn't talking to you.

[letmefixyou]

Oh, but you had something to say, did you not?

[thxforthememories]

Not to you.

[letmefixyou]

I don't remember the drones in the temple being this rude! Are you a new model?

[thxforthememories]

Don't call us that.
