I begin to loathe this boat nearly as much as aircraft... Going to rust in all this... damp.

Need something to keep from stiffening up. Some sort of exercise... Only so many times I can drive around these decks. Unlike some, I do not enjoy poking holes in turf, or studying these yellow creatures all day.

Hmnf.

Open to... suggestion.

You are only now figuring that out?

[Turns his on as well, even if Ratchet has the better light--as Sam found out.]

Interested now?

I had noticed before. Simply reiterating...

[He's too busy inspecting one of the walls to notice that attitude, Ironhide. :|]

I was interested before.

[ ACTION SPAM! ]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Good.

[He'll just stand there, looking at your hips back, and being bored.]

'Course you were.

[ ACTION SPAM! ]

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

[He's going to wander deeper, because none of the cool scientific findings were ever near the entrance.]

Mmhmm... [Not really listening.]

[ ACTION SPAM! ]

[heavyweaponsbot]

... where are you going?

[Staying back on the nice dry entrance rock, because that water's going to rust something.]

[ ACTION SPAM! ]

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

Investigating.

[Water does not mean anything in the face of science.]

[ ACTION SPAM! ]

[heavyweaponsbot]

... In the water?

[Prods at it with a "toe"]

...

You will rust, and I am not coming in after you.

My alternate form is an all terrain vehicle, Ironhide. A small amount of water is not going to cause me to rust - I will be sure to take care of it when I am finished.

[Hands on the walls, feeling the rocky surfaces, looking for areas of interest. He wasn't really paying attention to the water's depth, as it seemed to be generally shallow.]

[ ACTION SPAM! ]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah, you say that now. Just wait.

[Prods at the water again, before grumbling and wading in up to his ankles]

[ ACTION SPAM! ]

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

Hmm?

[He crouches lower to look at the wall, optics trained on the stone instead of his companion.]

[ ACTION SPAM! ]

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Never mind.

[Slogging around in the water in much the same way a cat walks through snow. Steps, lifts his foot and shakes the water off before putting it down again.]

[He straightens up at the noise, turning to see Ironhide's... interesting method of navigating the shallow water. The medic was amused to say the least, but he said nothing as he watched him move closer.]

Are you sure you do not want to wait where it is dry?

[ ACTION SPAM! ]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Step... kick. Step... Kick... step... kick.]

You have the balance of a newly built human spawn. Of course I am not going to wait.

The floor is solid rock. It is much stronger than the furniture in your quarters, I'm sure.

[ ACTION SPAM! ]

[heavyweaponsbot]

... You could trip over your own feet. That was my point.

[Step... kick.]

[ ACTION SPAM! ]

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

You were the one who tripped, Ironhide.

[... Not that he remembers.]

[ ACTION SPAM! ]

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Only once. You ran into power lines.

[Step kick step... kick...]

[ ACTION SPAM! ]

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

Only once. And I might point out it was dark, in an unfamiliar area.

[He's heading in deeper, if you can keep up, 'Hide. XD]

[ ACTION SPAM! ]

[heavyweaponsbot]

... You fell off a bridge.

[He tries to, fidgeting and grumbling to himself as the water rises.]

Why are you going in further.

[ ACTION SPAM! ]

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

Fortunately, we are on flat ground, so that won't be an issue.

... And I told you, I wanted to investigate.

[ ACTION SPAM! ]

[heavyweaponsbot]

... You sure?

Hmpf. Can you swim?

[ ACTION SPAM! ]

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

Unless the entire lower decks are filled with water, where else would it lead?

... No. If it is all this depth, it will not be necessary.

[ ACTION SPAM! ]

[heavyweaponsbot]

How should I know? You think I came in here before now?

... If.

[ ACTION SPAM! ]

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

There is nowhere else for the water to-

[He would have finished explaining that with the structure of the ship's decks, there was nowhere for a chasm to lead to - if he hadn't just stepped over the edge of one such hole.

Fortunately, it was only ten feet and not bottomless, but it was enough that the medic vanished from sight, with a sound of shock before he dipped below the murky surface.]

[ ACTION SPAM! ]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah, whateve--

[Brief moment of stunned silence while he looks at where there should have been neon...]

RATCHET!

[Even though that roar could probably have been heard underwater, he's stomping/slogging through the water as fast as he conceivably can. Upon reaching the edge of the hole--which he almost slides into himself--he ducks under, fishing around for some armor to grab onto.

Overreacting? Maybe.]
