[voice] location--in motion
[Drift may seem to be in a strangely upbeat mood. Because this? This he can do. He's spent more of his life in a battlefield than anywhere else, and more time in the field than some of his new friends have been alive.]
[In other words, he knows this.]
[The post is voice because he's busy doing his thing. And he doesn't want to take a break or risk traumatizing the weak of spark with what is likely very, very messy stuff.]
We need to coordinate air support. Spotters, at least, to tell us the pattern: where and what we're facing.
You don't have to engage; just spot and report.
[Not really locked to Wing.] ...try to be safe. Don't do anything stupid. [A pause.] That's my job.
[Not really locked to Wheeljack] You ever get those grenades ready?
[Not really locked to Annie.] Where are you?
[Not really locked to Noisy Boy.] These, uh, these don't fight fair. Might want to sit this one out.

[Because they might need to move an injured mech to Solus's temple.]
[And Drift knows what you're thinking.] There are enough of us grounders to do the dirty work. You're more useful in the air.
At least right now. [Because he knows he can't stop you, altogether.]
[Stupid things what are you even talking about? What's not safe about facing down a swarm of horrible mutated monsters armed with two sharp bits of metal? ]
[Audio]
[Because said injured mech might be you!]
Or several times my weight with greatly reduced speed/maneuverability.
Let me know if you need back-up. Looks like there may be a small wave coming your way soon, too early to tell though.
[There's absolutely nothing safe about that. But that's sort of the point with combat. Doing it alone would be stupid however. Hopefully you're not.]
[Audio]
Worry about the others first.
I heard they're heading toward the temples. We might have to fall back to defensive positions.
[Drift's fine on his own. But this time, he has Wheeljack with him. And the sheer force of their Wreckerness will prevail.]
[Audio]
I'll do my best. [And likely fail, since he's worrying about you already. Oops.]
I'll try to make sure you don't get outflanked. Hopefully thy won't try for all of the temples at once, that'll spread us too thin.
[It'll be a sight to behold, you'll have to tell him all about it later.]
[Audio]
[If Drift hears you are worrying about him, he will hunt you down.]
If they go for all the temples, that will leave them spread thin as well.
And that means there's someone or something behind this attack, organizing it.
[Which is a bit more concerning.]
[Audio]
Yes dear.It will be. I'll be looking out for everyone, but I'll try not to come to your rescue and embarrass you in front of everyone.[Oh, and do what?]
Do we have the numbers to cover them all though? Let's hope it doesn't come to that regardless.
That's a troubling thought.
[Audio]
He heard that]More like stay safe so I don't have to wade in and rescue you.
[He frowns.] It's hard to tell. But these? They're not smart. It's not like facing a real army. It gives us options.
[Audio]
[Okay, that was a little
lowcheap.]If I have to go to ground I'll come find you.
We could hope then it's just a mindless horde. As long as the numbers aren't too great they should be manageable.
[Audio]
[Sorry, but hello? Reality knocking.]
I'm hearing reports they may be heading to the temples. Which means there's something behind this.
[Audio]
[Must go and put a damper on things? Point taken though.]
I'm seeing that as well. Either it's organized or there's something instinctive driving them. I'm doing a flyby of Solus's to check on the medic's camp, are you withdrawing to Vector's or Liege's?
[Audio]
[It might sound sharp, but there's a note of worry underneath.]
Not sure right now. Working with Wheeljack here to do as much damage as we can.
[Audio]
I will be more careful.
Let me know if you want help. Or just company.
[Audio]
Just be careful.
[However, Drift will not be careful. If there's any place in a battle more dangerous than where he's standing, he's generally moving in that direction. In short, where he is is the last place Wing should be.]
Fight well, Wing.
[Audio]
Yes, I will!
[As much as he hates it, it's hard for Wing to argue this. He won't burden you with his worry though, and instead trust in your tenacity to stay alive.]]
And you, Drift.
