Due to Ratchet's disappearance, I have taken the time to go through the Link and take into account of the entries made. Due to the varying disappearances we have, it may be functional to keep track of who is here and who is missing. I humbly request the Firstforged's assistance with this task, as they have some ability to track this.

I simply wish to keep track of who is present and who we may lose. It seems... random, how this Calling affects us.

In relation to Ratchet's disappearance, do we have a medic who is willing to head his medbay?

Blurr, please report in.

And Fortress Maximus, you are late to report in to me! I do not approve nor do I appreciate your tardiness.

It seems there's been quite a few lately.

[ Hey there UM. Sup. First Aid feels pretty guilty about this whole Ratchet business. ]

Ultra Magnus, forgive me if I'm a bit out of line but-- Is all of Ratchet's work still there?

First Aid.

[Anyone who knows him well will hear him sound a fraction relieved to speak to the nurse.

Unfortunately, First Aid is not one of those people.]

Yes, everything seems to be in order, including all of his medical documentation as well as his training progress with Vandal. I did not read everything, out of some respect.

[ Yep, sure isn't like Magnus is his buddy or anything. Did Magnus even have those? ]

I see.

We had some... disagreements and such, but Ratchet was a friend of mine. If you'd allow, I'd like to go and clean up and box his belongings. Out of respect.

[For all First Aid knows, probably not.]

Disagreements. Would you care to specify?

I don't see a problem with that.

Ratchet cut me open and removed one of my organs.

[ Very blunt. ]

[ audio ]

[thehardway]

Per the affects of Alpha Trion's pages, I suspect. Not that it is any excuse.

Which organ?

[ audio ]

[lifepersists]

Yes... He was not himself.

[ Not that it's a very comfortable memory. ]

My transformation cog.

[ audio ]

[thehardway]

I see.

Thank you for the information, First Aid. I...

Hm. I'm sorry, if it gave you discomfort. [Awkward.]

It's in the past. Better to remember him with all the good memories and all his good traits instead.
