[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.

[Hey, now. Drift happens to be kind of a fan of Ratchet. Cranky attitude and all. ]

If only we'd had a cure back on Delphi.

...salesmech? You're buying parts for mods? [He is suspicious. That doesn't sound very smart.]

Don't endanger yourself. We need you, Pharma.

[Ratchet? Please. Must he remind you of the four-way fuel pump transplant?]

::If only.:: [You can thank Ratchet for that one too.]

::It was for a very reasonable price. Namely, my medical services in the future.

And, don't worry, I will stay out of attack range.:: [Because he wasn't stupid enough to go fight these things hand to ha- in close combat.]

[Drift would rather not be reminded. Because, well, eww.]

It must have been awful, trapped in that lab, helpless to aid your clinic, friends slowly suffering, dying.

[You poor thing. He wants to give you a hug.]

[He frowns.] Well, if you're sure about it. [He's not fond of the idea of medics becoming combatants. They were kind of...soft.

[Aha! See, you slip too! Drift shouldn't feel bad.]

::It was. Everything was ruined.::

[Sparks shower the screen as the acolyte turns on the welder.]

::I am. Don't forget, the clinic of Delphi was not that far from the mines where the fighting was going on.::

[Voice if I screw it up one more time I will smack myself]

[sword_redemption]

[Drift doesn't want to stir up painful memories. But he apparently can't help himself.]

I wish we'd gotten there sooner. We might have been able to do real good.

[He tilts his head. That's unusual.] You fought the DJD? And lived?

Video lol

[organ_pharming]

::There is no point in dwelling on it now.::

[Pharma would be smirking at that but he's still in his alt mode at the moment.]

::In my own way, yes. And I'm not dead, am I?::

AUDIOOooooooo you are mean to laugh at my fail, pharma

[sword_redemption]

You're right. We need to concentrate on the present, the battle.

[You really like to watch Drift squirm, don't you?]

No, you're not. I'm just....we need your other skills more. [He worries. And, you know, hands. You didn't exactly win that round, did you?]

VIDEO I am a jet and by default not a nice person

[organ_pharming]

[The welder shuts off and the acolyte taps politely on Pharma's chassis to indicate that he is finished.]

::Thank you, First Aid.:: [Insert transforming noise here.]

Of course you do. As I said, don't worry. I know how to conduct myself on a battlefield. And I will remain in alt mode.

AUDIO but Wing is a jet and he is super nice?

[sword_redemption]

[You can't see it but Drift frowns. Hey, you're never that polite to him! And he's brought you lots of great stuff! ]

If you're sure... [Because Drift is not. He feels somehow responsible and would feel really bad if you got injured.]

If you need any help, let me know.
