[Surprise. A video feed from the local recluse. Bird-ninja. Robot. Anyway.]

[After a certain conversation with someone who will remain nameless, certain concerns have arisen.]

[... Never mind he's sitting in a medbay, hooked up to a generator, no. There are far more important things to consider than that.]

When you refuel... where do you put it? [After a beat, he clarifies.] Those of you who weren't made by humans.

Do you drink it? Or... do something else?

[THIS IS IMPORTANT OKAY. For friendship purposes.]

I drink it, but there are options, if you're damaged too badly to refuel yourself manually.

What happened to you?

That's what I've been told so far. You all do it that way.

[He tilts his head.]

I thought you knew... from the last time we spoke.

I just assumed that was a thing you had to do, but you're in the medbay, aren't you? I made a personal promise I'm not visiting anyone else in the medbay in the near future, it just looks bad.

Did you mention it? I don't remember.

... I wasn't asking you to visit.

[Regardless of whether or not Starscream meant otherwise, he took that one pretty literally.]

Maybe I didn't.

It was the AI you captured. It wanted assistance... I wasn't aware of its... of what it did to those who tried to help.

Oh, slag. It put something in you, too? Blurr hasn't had a chance to debrief me about this.

...I don't suppose you've had anybody examine your insides? [like he knows if this dude even has a spark chamber]

It... what?

[Honestly? He has no idea. He was a little preoccupied with it digging through his memories to pay attention to anything else.]

The engineer -- the medic scanned. He didn't say anything like that.

Back up and start from the beginning, and tell me what happened.

...

The AI wanted assistance. I didn't see any harm in that. I went, I met with it. And it... started to dig through my memories.

[To him, that's a worse fate than anything else. Anything that could have been done to him physically pales in comparison to that.]

Then the medic found me. Took me with him. And now I'm here.
