[voice] location--in motion

[sword_redemption]

[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.

Without my handler I could not move offensively anyway. I will stay in Vector's temple and comm if I require aid.

[He pauses for a few moments before adding-] Thank you for warning me.

[Not many people have been concerned for him in the past.]

But.

You can fight if something attacks you, right? At least within your rules?

[Which they really, really need to find a way around.]

You'd do the same for me, I hope.

I have defensive protocols. I cannot attack in return but I can stop blows outside of the ring.

[As long as he keeps his processor intact everything else can be repaired. And his forearms are tough.]

Of course I would.

It's better than nothing.

[Not much. And if he wasn't hip deep in enemy, he'd be heading there right now.]

You see anything you don't like, you comm, all right? I'll be there, or...someone will...fast.

We'll get through this.

I will. I promise.

I have no doubts that we will make it. [He's got faith.]

[voice]

[sword_redemption]

Be safe.

You were brought here for a reason. We're going to figure that out. [And that requires you to survive this. SO, have faith in that.]

[wakizashi_straight]

I will. And the same to you. [He knows you've got that whole 'redemption/death/warrior' thing going, but. Don't get disassembled on Noisy Boy now.]

We will figure it out together, after this is over. [Survival is a must for both of them.]
