[Accidental Video] [Transmitting from: The Junkpile]

[copperkitty]

[Oh hey the camera is rolling, that's interesting! Too bad there's nothing in sight besides a nearby junkpile. A groan can be heard from somewhere and a yellow hand appears on the feed, closely followed by a familiar face as Cheetor does an unexpected faceplant. He feels so... wrong. So weak, he almost can't push himself to his feet.

What happened?

A green eye opens and stares listlessly at his communicator for a moment, as if he can't comprehend what he's seeing. He blinks and suddenly it all comes back to him: Jaguar! His mission! Wait, what happened he can remember...

Oh.

He died didn't he?

Yes.

Wow.

This brings up a whole host of new questions, but first he should, y'know, say something. He manages to push himself up into a sitting position, leaning against a metal column as he tries to figure out what he should say.]

So...

I guess I failed my mission. Sorry Ultra Magnus, I'll do better next time.

[He has yet to truly wrap his mind around what just happened to him...]

Failure is generally unacceptable -- but it also depends on what you were doing.

[video]

[copperkitty]

I think... I dunno but...

It's impossible so...

[He doesn't know where he's going with this.]

[video]

[darthmalgus]

What happened?

[video]

[copperkitty]

Got offlined.

I'm sure that's what happened anyway.

[sword_redemption]

[Drift should probably not get involved but...he's Drift.]

What did Ultra Magnus have you do?

[video]

[copperkitty]

I went after Jaguar... I told Ultra Magnus that I could handle it.

[video]

[sword_redemption]

You went after Jaguar yourself?

[He sounds a little upset. He's allowed to do reckless and dangerous things: not anyone else.]

[video]

[copperkitty]

Yeah I...

Yeah.

I think... I think I...

[Died.]

[littlecrowgirl]

[Cheetor, what are you doing in the junkpile? Kay frequents there a lot...but she doesn't say she failed a mission at all. She can only ask.]

Kitty? What happened?

[Video]

[copperkitty]

[He's feeling too out of it to try to get into a fight with Kay right now. Maybe later when he feels better.]

I lost.

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

Lost...?

[Even Kay knows when to be serious.]

What did you lose?

[Video]

[copperkitty]

I... I lost my life.

I think.

I died. He killed me.

[raceme]

Cheetor? Are you okay? I was wondering why _{was you skipping<7sub> work.}

[copperkitty]

Blurr!

[He tries to snap himself out of this daze so he can answer Blurr properly.]

I'm... fine.

I didn't manage to get Jaguar, I'm sorry.

[raceme]

[Blurr is concerned.]Where are you? I will _{come to} find you YOU don't look all that well.

Jaguar...? Ohrighthim What happened? I'M SORRY I WASN'T THERE checking on you I had to go find Ratchet I wasn't very successful.

[copperkitty]

Uh you really don't need to! I'll make it back home on my own!

[He doesn't want you to see how weak and frightened he's feeling right now Blurr.]

It's okay! I'm... done with it for now. I'll get him again.

[Video | Private]

[vectorianpolarity]

You feel well?

[there's concern, there, yes, but also something else in Vector's manner. something intent.]

[Video | Private]

[copperkitty]

No!

I feel... ugh.

[Give him a moment, he'll be properly coherent in an hour or so.]

What happened to me? I shouldn't...

[He's more than a little bit frightened here. None of this feels right.]

[Video | Private]

[vectorianpolarity]

[Vector frowns, regarding the groggy mech]

You...you were in a very grave position. I will send an Acolyte to ensure you stabilize.

VOICE;

[thehardway]

Cheetor, you're--

[Alive. Somehow.]

Report your status.

VOICE;

[copperkitty]

[By the Spark it's Ultra Magnus. He tries to sound professional despite his grogginess and even salutes, though the other Autobot can't see him.]

I'm alive, Ultra Magnus sir!

I didn't get Jaguar... he turned out a lot stronger than I thought he was.

VOICE;

[thehardway]

I assure you, I'm relieved to hear that.

Did you attempt to face Jaguar on your own?

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

It's good you're all right, but check in with a medic immediately. Have to make sure your pride's not the only thing that sustained injury.

[audio]

[copperkitty]

I'm fine!

At least... I'm not injured anymore.

I think.

[Nope he's not going to see a medic if he can help it.]

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

You think? Yes, right, definitely see a medic. [YES YOU WILL GO]
