16th Transmission

Is there nowhere on this ship that is not freezing? Joints are rusting in this.

[Some scraping sounds over the coms - the old!bot is on the move, despite the creak and groan of a certain half-functional limb.]

Tell me there is somewhere free of this... holiday nonsense.

[He's wandering as he speaks, so feel free to run into him, if you so choose. ]



[ALSO.

If Ratchet ventures outside his door... this book is sitting outside it. He found it in the giant luggage pile.

If Mikaela pokes her head out... there's a pink sweater, about three sizes too small, in the snow outside her door.

If Blurr comes outside... there's a cube of energon. He was a little stumped on that one.

And if Gannondorf or Shockwave come out... there are a few scattered pieces of fish!corpse outside their doors.

It seems that, despite claiming to hate the afforementioned parties, someone made an attempt at peacemaking. Sort of. Which happens to coincide with Christmas.]

It--it's not...holiday-free, buh-b-but-but Sergei's is warm. And it's not snowing here.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Does not matter if it is free of this "holiday". Just want out of this cold.

[meinxxherz.livejournal.com]

Sergei's is-is warm.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... That the bar you were in when I saw you?

[meinxxherz.livejournal.com]

Yuh--Yeah. On Deck 10.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Hmn... Going there then.

[meinxxherz.livejournal.com]

Good. I-I hope it--it-it helps.

[Herz will be in the kitchen, blaring the Beatles, stiiiill making Christmas dinner.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Mmn. Get to my age and condition... anything helps...

[He'll just drag-shuffle his way down then!]

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

Is...is this pink sweater...from you, 'Hide?

[heavyweaponsbot]

... No.

[Yes, yes it is.]

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

It is, isn't it? It's really sweet of you.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Just... do not... tell anyone.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

Why not? I think it's terribly nice of you. Scared others will find out you're a softie at spark?

[heavyweaponsbot]

...

[Growls] I am not.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

Of course not.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Good.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Ironhide.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Hmpf.

I may be able to adjust your internal temperature, if you are having issues with your joints.

However, I am currently occupied with a most fascinating book I found outside my cabin - I do not suppose you would know anything of its origins, Ironhide?

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Without your equipment?

No. I do not.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

I am not completely incapable without them. This does not require welding, so long as you hold still.

Hmm. How strange.

[heavyweaponsbot]

You are asking me to hold still for a procedure?

Yeah. Guess someone else likes you.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

I am asking you to hold reasonably still, yes.

Or perhaps worried that I was not properly caring for C4.

[heavyweaponsbot]

That is not possible.

... Doubt it. Probably thought you would like to see more creatures like it.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.

I am sure you would know best, what this mysterious benefactor had intended.

[heavyweaponsbot]

You know me better than that.

... I would not.
