[Audio/Action][Location Encrypted]

[staresat]

[After being given the introductory explanation, Shockwave had found himself a stable corner within the temple to stand in. The damage to his only optical sensor reduced his vision was to mostly darkness. There were a few vague, shimmering shapes to guide him, but the act of acclimating to these new surroundings were still a rather ungraceful affair altogether. Had the comm not been a mostly internal upgrade, making any sort of call would have been a lot more complicated.]

[The audio feed clicks on to the sound of sparks occasionally spurting from the damaged part. But soon enough, a new voice disinterestedly drones through:]

This Cybertron does not yet carry the burden of civil war.

[The thought is given one or two seconds of attentive silence before he moves to the more prudent topic:]

Is there a medic?

(ooc: anyone in Liege Maximo's temple can feel free to find him and use this ample opportunity to poke fun at his misfortune.)

(edit: WHOOPS I accidentally put video first.)

Er, well... considering Solus' temple is at the end of the quadrant it belongs to, which is about a hundred miles out from the edge of the Junk Pile, and this temple is several quadrants away, and further on a mountain...

[Jetfire shakes his helm. Pretty damn far away, Shockwave.]

To get you somewhere to sit down and have a limited space until your optic is repaired, we could just get the closest room and you could find a more suitable one later.

[Far away and without any quick mode of transit between each temple. That problem should really get looked at when this is all over.]

[But fair enough, it seems Jetfire's suggestion is the only option he really has, save for sitting here and waiting for something to happen. That may not be the best option considering it's rather exposed, and especially without knowing how long until a medic will contact him.]

Then I will go with you.

[Just give him an elbow or shoulder or something to hold. Unless he has some other way in mind.]

[Well, the majority of people around here do have access to vehicle modes, so alternative forms of transport isn't something widely needed.]

We do have a few medics available, fortunately, so it should not be too long until someone responds, and if not, I... ah, could perhaps go and look for one later.

[Jetfire talks while approaching, partly to give an idea of the distance between them, and partly to respond to any potential inquiry, and when close enough he simply reaches out with a hand and brushes it close to Shockwave's.

An offer to take it, simply. Though it's admittedly odd to be this close to a version of Shockwave again.]

[action] oh god i am the worst backtagger i am sorry

[POPPYCOCK THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT. And he always did have a bit of a lean towards using Bridge technology over an alt mode to begin with. Where possible, of course.]

[When the hand brushes by, his attention is directed to it. There's a bit of a pause, but he takes the offer in the end, enclosing the claw-like fingers around what had been presented to him.]

[He doesn't have much of a choice aside from trusting you, Jetfire. He'll follow your lead.]

[action] It is okay~

[angleofscience]

[DEPENDS ON WHAT TYPE OF IMPROVEMENT IT IS! And what do you not want to show off your fetching flying gun(-ship) altmode, Shockwave?]

[The claw-like fingers are odd, honestly; the Shockwave he knows has a full, "regular" hand. But Jetfire makes no outward note, physical or otherwise, of his surprise and merely makes sure to walk at a predictable pace.]

[At least Shockwave doesn't need to trust Jetfire for long, however, as it only takes them a few minutes until Jetfire stops again. There's only been a single right-hand turn since they started walking.]

There's a door right in front of you. It's the closest actual room from your original location. It might do for now?

[action] :3 <3

[staresat]

[No he just wants to get to his destination as quickly as possible okay, gosh. Even if flying sucks less than walking.]

[Shockwave has little trouble trailing behind him at the pace he goes at, not bothering to bring up conversation until they reach the room.]

[The hand lets go and reaches ahead to carefully land on the surface of the door, taking a few seconds to re-orient himself.]


Yes, this is sufficient.

[angleofscience]

[Don't deprive people of the flying guns, okay!]

Ah, good. If you get no other help, you can... always call me and I'll either get a medic, or get you to the closest one.

[Not that he won't help if not needed, but presently this seems... easier.]
