All right. I had enough nonsense to last me a lifetime.

Firstforged, Primus, a newborn Cybertron, glyphs -- it's all scrap. I'm offline and this is the Pit.

Although I gotta say, it's a lot less fiery and more fraggin' ridiculous than anything else.

I want a straight answer. Now.

If you're set on believing that this is the Pit, then I'm not going to try to dissuade you. Dealt with enough blockheads today, thanks.

[ He huffs. ]

When you figure out that the Acolytes haven't been lying to you, though, keep an eye out for Solus Prime's temple. I'm Ratchet, one of the medics around here, and your frame is just unique enough that I'd like to get a scan of it sometime. Otherwise, if you get slagged up, there's me without a clue how you tick and that? That is a bad situation.

[batmanta]

Well well. Someone's on the sensitive side.

...What a slaggin' nanoklik, you can't be Ratchet.

[docbot]

If that's how you want to put it, sure.

[Grumpity grump grump goes the Ratchet.]

And of course I'm Ratchet. I might not be the one from your universe, to be fair, but I'm certainly a Ratchet... and from what I gather, we're all medics of a fairly high caliber.

[batmanta]

No. You wouldn't be. He died a long time ago.

[Great, now he's dealing with alternative universes?]

[docbot]

That's... too bad. [Huh. This is the first time an alternate version of him has been dead. Ratchet's not sure how he feels about that.]

Doesn't change the fact that I'm Ratchet, though. Just not your Ratchet. And if you get injured, you'll be coming to my medbay to get fixed up.

[Just glossing quietly over the fact that Pharma's also got a medbay lalala no one ever said he was above bitch moves like that.]

[batmanta]

Looks like someone's already repaired me. But I'll keep that in mind.

[docbot]

Someone-- ah. You were repaired during the course of your travel through the Lambda?

[ It's happened before, so this is less confusing that it was. Ratchet nods. ]

Right, good. Hopefully the next time I see you won't be for medical reasons, though.

[batmanta]

...Lookin' like it. Let's just say I was in a few more pieces than this before.

[He snorts.] Better not be. I don't like makin' a habit of needing to see a medic.

[And he made sure to fuss if Rhinox needed to see to him for any reason.]

[docbot]

... Right. Do I want to know how many?

[That's mostly a rhetorical question. He knows he does, but he also doesn't want to deal with hearing yet another mech telling about how he'd been a multiple amputee in the recent past.]

Good. If you stay healthy, I'm fine with you never gracing my medbay. [Implied is that if you're not, you'd better see him. Or he'll come get you. Rhinox ain't got nothing on this one, baby.]
