 [Well, he got over that whole being dead thing fast. Must be a thing with Wreckers.  The feed shows Wheeljack at a distance, sizing up an empty area of the Haven, doing perimeters, measuring, you name it.  It might be better not to ask, but do you really want to take that chance? Best to just get it over with.  Wheeljack seems to realize the feed is on, which is understandable, putting his hands to his hips as he looks back at the empty plot.]

So. We've all been here how long...and no one's thought to build a ship?

[He puts his fingers in the picture-frame position, scratching his helm.]

Figure I'd try and remake my own ship, the Jackhammer. See what it's like up by the Lambda. 

"It...was a good idea, Wheeljack"

[That voice was not his own, but seemed to come from the vicinity. It makes the Wrecker perk up considerably, though.]

I thought so too.

...

Any of you got some free time?

And Solus, if ya've got a minute...

You bet I am.

[He's practically grinning ear to metaphorical ear.]

You're not?

[thehardway]

...No?

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Sorry Chief, it's just charmin'.

[He gives another chuckle.]

Honestly say you blow Ratchet out of the water with your formality.

[thehardway]

No one has ever indicated that my behavior is particularly charming. You are an odd individual.

I never spoke to your Ratchet. Is he much similar to me?

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[He holds two fingers close to each other up to the screen.]

Wee bit. Think of a less extreme you.

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

He sounds respectable.

VIDEO;

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Respectable, high strung.

Whatever ya wanna call it.

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

It is not high strung to be diligent at one's job.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Could still stand to relax a little. Not good for his spark.

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

He was a medic. I'm certain he understood his limits.

VIDEO;

[wheeljackofalltrades]

It's somethin' you two have in common.

The lack of understandin' limits.



[Not that he worries baka.]

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

I'm aware of what I can and cannot do.

[OH. YOU ARE WORRIED.]

VIDEO;

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Now see, if I said that, would you agree?


[HE IS NOT SHUT UP.]

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

No, based on history.

VIDEO;

[wheeljackofalltrades]

So if I push myself and I relax, what does that say about you?

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

I am efficient.

VIDEO;

[wheeljackofalltrades]

High. Strung.

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

Efficient. There is always work to be done.

VIDEO;

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[You get something similar to this. ]

And...what you just said doesn't give any indication that you're overworkin' yourself.

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

I do not feel exhausted or incapable of continuing to work.

VIDEO;

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Okay, okay. You win, Sparky.

[GOD YOU ARE THE BANE OF HIS EXISTENCE.]

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

You're relenting. All right.

[WHATEVER AT LEAST I DON'T DIE AND STUFF.]

VIDEO;

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[OH COME ON THAT WAS ONE TIME.]

So...keep doin' what you're doin'. I'll tend to the Jackhammer.

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

I shall.

I look forward to your ship's construction.

VIDEO;

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Aww, I'm touched.

You'll be the first I call.

[HANG UP!]
