20th Transmission
[There's static for a few moments, before the comm actually picks up the very subdued voice.]
Ratchet... I... need you. Please.
Help.
[All of the above fall under things he would never... ever... say over open comm lines like this. Thank you very much, Captain. There's a pause, but anyone with decent hearing can hear him muttering to something--or someone.]
It will be fine... going to be okay... quiet now. I have you... Going to be fine... not going to hurt much longer... hush.
[Aren't auditory hallucinations fun? He has not left the hall the elevator dumped him into. And he likely won't on his own--thanks to being blind from Infected Passenger Spit, badly damaged, and with absolutely no sense of direction, the old boy's stuck on Deck 12.]

Can I be of any help?
no subject
[Oh, wait. Someone else is talking to him.]
Something... is wrong with my navigation systems.
no subject
[She's experiencing hallucinations too, but they've taken the form of all the stuff in her room looking like its comprised of blue jello. But the jello-stuff seems to hold her weight, so she's just trying to take it in stride.]
You went down below decks? That seems to be what's happening to those who explored.
Do you know what deck you're on? I still know where I am.
no subject
[There's a pause while he gathers his thoughts - he thinks he can still hear the young one crying, and it's hard.]
Yeah... I did. I found... I... No. I do not know. Cannot... see.
no subject
Ratchet told me. He'll be there soon, and so will I.
[The little one...?]
Both of you, hold on.
no subject
[Another pause, and something like a deep breath.]
Not going anywhere.

[He's already moving by this point, the gravity of the situation having already struck him. Ratchet knew that there was always the chance that something could happen, but to actually hear him say that over an open line made his spark chamber sink a few inches.]
Where are you?
no subject
I... not sure. I cannot... I cannot see. Internal navigation's down... And she's... crying.
Elevator. By an elevator.
no subject
I need you to keep speaking. I will locate you as quickly as I can. I will attempt to lock in on your communication signal.
no subject
Yeah. Talking.
no subject
Good. What are your conditions?
no subject
Optics gone. Cannot see. Fluid... loss is bad. Back's torn up. No navigation... Some kind of acid damage... She is so much worse. Please--help her. We... need you.
no subject
[The more he hears, the worse it sounds. He might be able to do minor patch ups, but he's going to need serious work. Which Ratchet doesn't have the means to do right now.]
I am going to do what I can. Just hold on.
no subject
[He's quiet again, except for the muttering. He swears he can still hear her.]
Not going anywhere... just hurry.
no subject
I will.
feel free to say no <3
Do you need or require assistance with him?
<3
So far as I can tell, he is located on deck twelve, nearest the elevator.
/will hop into the other log when Ratchet gets to Ironhide
I'll head there now. [And she's heading to the nearest elevator; nothing alive has turned to rubber for her, and the Cybtertronians should be the same.] Is there anything I can bring that may help? [Besides her tool kit.]
Awesome. :|b
Bring any tools you may have, metal scrap, and heating equipment. My welding unit was removed upon arrival, so anything that might make a suitable replacement.

[Here is where he stops, and tries to get a grip on himself.]
Now she... needs medical attention. Badly.
no subject
Oh.
[Pause.]
Do you need help?
no subject
... She needs help. You... can you hear her?
no subject
I'm sorry, I don't know what happened...where are you?
no subject
You certain you cannot... she... [he trails off, muttering to the voices in his head.]
no subject
I'm...I'm pretty sure I only hear you, 'Hide.
no subject
So quiet. Must be. I have to help her.
no subject
I wish I knew where you were, I'd...come find you. Help you.
no subject
no subject
I...I'm afraid I'll get lost again if I come and find you.
