[ AUDIO ][ Origin: Leige's Temple ]

[lifepersists]

I'm sorry for lying to everyone. I'm sure everyone is aware I was by now. It was stupid of me.

I have a lot of reasons for doing what I did, none of them important.

Until further notice I'll be found either at Vector's temple or Pharma's lab at Leige's. Please ping me if you need me.







I trust you, Drift. I said I would talk to you when I knew what I wanted to talk about.

Tell me exactly what you remember about Delphi. Everything that happened.
[ /Drift ]


Have you seen Pharma acting strangely at all in the last few months?

[ /Ambulon ]


I... haven't heard from you in a few days. Are you alright?

[ /Fort Max ]


[ He really has to think about this one. ]



I'm going to need some time to think about things.

[Drift gives an awkward shrug.] Maybe I was doing human wrong. [This would not surprise him in the least. ]

How could you get infected in quarantine? [Drift doesn't have a clue about virology.] Well, is there something you did or we did that you didn't?

[He can't even imagine....]

First Aid. [He frowns.] What? You can trust me.

No, Drift. You have been a cybertronian for millions of years. Vandal and Kay were born human. I think there's a difference there.

That's the thing. You can't. It's the point of quarantine. Keep the infection contained. Or in Pharma's case, keep the infection from getting in. [ So yeah, suffice to say, it's a big missing piece. ] That, I don't know. I was in the ward when Pipes started showing symptoms. I can at least trace his infection back to when he well-- You know. Had contact with the dead. You're the only one who knows what happened, Drift. I need you... Do you remember any details?

[ He vents, weighing his options. ]

I've been suspicious of Pharma for some time. There's been... things, that just don't seem normal. He's been keeping secrets and being vague, passing off things as 'not important'. In Delphi, even before the plague, death rate was on the rise. Pharma isn't a clumsy doctor. I can't imagine so many would die from carelessness.

One difference. Another is shoes.

[Yeah don't ask. He's just going to rotate his ankle gimbal a bit in gratitude. ]

[He frowns, trying to remember.] Pharma was the one who noticed it, when we went to visit him, that Pipes was showing symptoms. I guess he knew what to look for better than us.

And Ratchet told me to handle him, but, you know not kill him. _{that would be counterproductive and you know, that whole thing with Dent}. He backed me into a corner, and I had to transform to get out of the way to get around him. I knocked him out. And then we came back and I guess he'd splashed me.

[Drift frowns. That's a serious accusation. And he wants to believe the best of everyone. But...he's not as naive as he wants to be.]

Maybe he's losing his touch and he knows it? The cure he gave me. It, uh, I was told that maybe it had been corroding my fuel lines.

It would explain why he's so irritable all the time, if he's aware he's losing it. It, uh, Ratchet kind of does the same.
