[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. ]

If he's smart, he wouldn't. For all that you're a pain in the aft, you're smart and fairly cunning. In an uncertain environment like this, I'd be taking every ally in that I could get.

... and I'll take your word on that latter part, because I'm not sure I want to know.

Why Ratchet, it almost sounds like you're beginning to appreciate my skills.

[docbot]

Appreciation of skill and application of trust are very different concepts.

[my_own_trope]

And given this new situation we all find ourselves in, perhaps you should be more generous with you application of the latter.

[docbot]

[ Even though he's sucking it up because Starscream's right, Ratchet's audibly gritting his teeth as he replies. ]

Yes, that's true. I will be, in fact. So you're ... welcome to find me if you need any tending to, just like any other injured mech.

[my_own_trope]

Your generosity is appreciated. Truly. It is.

So glad to know you're on board, Doctor. I'd hate to be left to leak to death when you could so easily lend your services.

[ Oh for Primus's sake. Ratchet does not need to keep putting up with this, and since he's already hung up on one Starscream... ]

Hmph.
