[voice] Posting from the Solian sector

[docbot]

[ After being informed by Drift that biological warfare is still a Thing in at least one of the dimensions represented here, Ratchet's decided to play things safe in terms of infection control. This is why you're being treated to a voice-post, featuring the gruff voice of our favourite Autobot medic right now. ]

Right. Well. I don't care what kind of grudges you've got, but whether you're Autobot, Decepticon or something else, things like illness and contagious disease are an issue here, especially given our ... questionable resources. So, since there seems to be a sizable population of Cybertronians around, I'd request that any and all of you come find me if you're in need of medical attention. I can't promise to fix anything that ails you, but I can at least scan you and tell you what I'd need to fix things.

And I can promise that the longer you wait on finding me for medical attention, the more annoyed I will be that you waited. Keep that in mind if you're on the fence about things.

[ Yep. That was quite obviously a threat. Ratchet's a doctor, not a nursemaid. ]

Ah, you're a field medic. Yes, preparedness is of the utmost importance in such volatile situations. I treat emergency patients myself- just generally in a clinic.

[Pharma can't help but laugh.] Mm, if you say so. They have been generous to me at the very least.

Constructed without? That is an odd configuration... A drone of some kind?

[docbot]

Yes, I am. I find it's more useful for me to be out in the field where I can treat people more swiftly. [ Not that he has a problem with mechs who stay back in clinics. There's uses for both kinds of medics, after all. ]

Oh? Have they gifted you with anything?

[ A pause as Ratchet tries to get his thoughts together. ] I'm not quite sure. He seems sentient enough, but given that he has no vocalizer to speak with and no hands to write with, communication has been tricky.

[organ_pharming]

I have been given living quarters and use of this well maintained laboratory. Also an acolyte to serve as my errand mech. [He's proud of that.]

Virtually no means of communication.... [Sounds like someone wanted this bot to be quiet for a reason. How intriguing.] I must confess, I would love to get my hands on him for some exploration.

When I have hands, that is.

[docbot]

Impressive. [ Ratchet is somewhat jealous, because lab, but he's also rather glad that he doesn't need an errand mech because... hands. ]

No, none thus far. Although, I suppose with the Link, he's much more verbose now. [Ratchet doesn't really like the way that Pharma used the word "exploration", but he'll let it ride. Maybe it was just a slip. ]
