[Ironfist taps on the Link device for a few kliks. He thinks he's locked it to Ultra Magnus, but he can't quite see straight so...he fails.]

U-Ultra Magnus. You said to, uh, to contact you if we...if something wasn't right.

[Something's not right, it's clear just from looking at him.]

[Another tapping blindly at the link's controls.]

First Aid? I think....[He looks more than a little contrite] I think maybe it didn't work.

[ Oh no no no. ]

But--! I was so sure it worked, you should be fine... You could come back in, and I can do some scans...

[He knew he was wrong to let First Aid get his hopes up.]

I'm....sorry. But I'm not, uh, fine.

...I don't know if that's a good idea.

[ Shhh, Ironfist. ]

Okay, I see that. You're not fine. It may be possible I missed something, but...

Please? Why not?

Maybe you shouldn't have, you know, done it. Maybe it needs to be there.

[Some sort of poetic Fisitronic justice or fate or something.]

Because I really feel.......

....[Ironfist? At a loss for words?]

...wrong.

Er. But you would have died? Last I checked bullets weren't exactly.... you know, healthy.

Wrong how? Describe your symptoms. Headache? Feeling like purging?

But maybe that's it. Maybe it's supposed to happen and you made it not happen and it's some sort of, you know, time paradox thing and now there's a rift in the time space continuum and....

[He winces in pain, optics flickering.]

I feel....angry.

[lifepersists]

I don't think that is how it works...

[ That's... puzzling. ]

Angry? Angry at what? Are you experiencing any unpleasant memories? Flashbacks?

I don't know how anything works here.

_{or anywhere.}

I...I don't know. [He doesn't have a long history of getting angry. It's a weird feeling.] Maybe it's Aequita.
