[This feed was probably meant to be private, but the right buttons either weren't pressed, or he just isn't thinking clearly enough to make it so. The ninja-bot is in the air, big surprise there, but looks rather resigned, despite it.]

Soundwave -- I'm sorry. There isn't any sign of Starscream... anywhere.

[He sounds pretty tired, though. He's been looking a while.]

Heading back in now, I...

[There's a sound like an engine rattling, a choked-off sound of gears and mechanisms grinding. His thrusters die, and his wings spasm to a standstill. That's what you get for not watching your fuel/energy levels. The briefest expression of surprise registers before... well.]

[Kagerou is abruptly falling.]

[Thankfully, there's a nice, smooth lake conveniently under him. So instead of smashing into the ground, he just turns into a ninja-cannonball as the feed cuts out.]

drift

i am in a lake

this is uncomfortable

[Okay, so he's more on the shore of the lake now. He's also embarrassed.]

yes

[video--action?]

[sword_redemption]

... stay calm. [It's hard to tell if text is calm or not, but it sounds like a good thing to say.]

What were you doing?

[Right. Probably the same thing Drift would have done.]

I can grab some gasoline on the way and bring you back to the Medibay?

[text -- later action?]

[thxforthememories]

i am calm. annoyed. and wet.

[This is very unpleasant, but the water did break his fall, thankfully.]

i told soundwave i would look for starscream from the air. i wasn't looking at my fuel levels.

[He pauses.]

soundwave is coming. gasoline at the medbay would... i would like that.

[video -- later action?]

[sword_redemption]

...but safe. [Here, Drift will try to provide a bright side for you.]

Well, you'll know better for next time, right?

[Because it sounds like something Drift would do.]

All right. Gasoline at the medibay it is. [He smiles.] I better see you there.

[video -- later action?]

[thxforthememories]

safe. and wet.

[Yes, he is going to harp on that point. Because this is the most disgusting feeling.]

next time i will have engine replaced

you will

i want to see you too

[video -- later action?]

[sword_redemption]

It's just water. Trust me, there's worse.

[Rusting your components out your optical orbits? Yeah, he knows gross.]

[He laughs.] That'll take care of it, yes.

Just...hang in there till Soundwave comes. Tell him I've got gasoline.

[text -- later action?]

[thxforthememories]

yes. there is worse. but right now this is the worst

[He pauses.]

we are coming now

i'll tell him

[video -- later action?]

[sword_redemption]

[Drift laughs but it's not unkind. He's been there.]

It is pretty uncomfortable.

Thank you for trusting friends to help you, Kagerou.

[ -- later action?]

[thxforthememories]

I am never getting wet again

yes. I needed someone. I had to

I will see you when we get there?

[ -- later action?]

[sword_redemption]

Just get through this. Worry about the future later.

[Because the likelihood of wetness? Pretty high.]

I'm glad you asked for help.

Yes. I'll be there. With gasoline.

[ -- later action?]

[thxforthememories]

yes

[Given his future? Very high.]

then i will get to see you

now that you're better

[And that thought? It actually makes him feel happy.]
