[ Ratchet looks worn and a bit beaten about when he makes his call on the Link. He'd been caught by one of the Sharkticons before escaping back to the temple, and there's still smudges of energon glinting in the crevices of his helm and chevron that he missed when wiping his face off. Still, there's a spark in his eyes -- he may not be at the front of the fighting, but he's certainly not out of action. ]

Given this absolutely ridiculous influx of creatures, I'm going to remind you all that I'm a medic and that I know what I'm doing. If you get into a scrap, don't waste time being a hero and limping around with your innards hanging out -- come here and I'll fix you.

[ His eyes narrow. ]

But don't be an idiot either. If I find out that any of you have blown yourself up because you used too many grenades, I'm going to come after you and weld your hands to your skull.

[ The glare he's directing at the comm could kill a mech at twenty paces. ]

Wheeljack, this means you.

[[ ooc: going to be slow in responding, but I thought I'd post this up before I became even later than I already am. ]]

[ Ratchet's optics shift off to the side as he replies, looking vaguely ... embarrassed? ]

Whatever, don't let it get to your head or anything.

[ He coughs, revs his engine a bit before changing the topic. ]

And if you must leave a mess behind, at least make sure that it's not you who's getting messed up. Deal?

[Too late. He's fully confident now.]

Hey, I'll do anythin' to avoid gettin' my arm welded off again.

Just stay safe, got it?

Good. Because I know where you sleep now.

[ He grins menacingly, then pauses and his expression becomes a little more unsure. ]

And ... you too.

Not sure if I should be charmed by that or more on edge.

[He gives a light chuckle.]

See ya around, Ratchet.

Why not take it both ways, then?

[ Okay, fine. You get a tentatively friendly smile. ]

I'll also ... see you soon.

[ Because saying "Goodbye" is far too permanent. ]

Heh, don't wait up for me.

[He gives a friendly smirk back as the transmission cuts.]
