I wish to know what occurred on the upper decks. Between a certain turtle and an unknown person.

And I wish to know now. This is not a request. Speak up! Be quick about it!

Then he learns faster than this old 'Bot.

[His tone sobers as well, into something a little more dangerous than usual.]

The one who did this will be turned back into the scraps they were made from.

You do not need to thank me. Only tell me how he managed to be the one injured... while he was the one doing the hitting.

[yeah, see, that's what Don's worried about. Raph died the last time he attacked someone.]

There's a reason the untrained are warned against hitting anyone with a closed fist - the bones in our hands aren't meant for it. Even though Mikey has training, that doesn't cancel out the possibility of him hitting someone just right and doing damage. Which is what I suspect happened.

[because saying, oh, yeah, Mikey hit a metal person sort of narrows things down to an uncomfortable level for Don. It's not strictly a lie, anyway. Don likes Ironhide. He doesn't like lying to him.]

Hard enough to break his hand...?

[He's skeptical. Organics aren't all that strong, but they should be able to hit each other without breaking. Something's wrong with a species that can't do that.]

The chances of that seem slim. Maybe I should confirm them with my medic.

[... he's not sure if Ratchet actually knows or not, but no one has to know that.]

[Locked // 85% Unhackable] XD Ironhide.

It's true. We're not necessarily meant to hit others with our fists, it just so happens that it was discovered to be a more effective way to cause damage to another being, and was utilized as such regardless of the potential damage to ourselves.

If hit anywhere particularly...Hrm. If you strike someone in the face, for instance, you're liable to hurt yourself because the area is hard asnd doesn't give. You won't hurt yourself every time, which is why people still do it, but the chances are there.

...It probably would be best to ask your medic, actually.

[there's nothing to uncover, either. Because it's true, people do hurt themselves punching out other people. Don just might be exaggerating that a little.]

[Locked // 85% Unhackable] He's not good at this. |D

[heavyweaponsbot]

...

[Well that failed. Spectacularly. He's silent for a minute, glowering down at the comm as if it has personally offended him. There's a reason he doesn't interrogate verbally...]

... I will still find out who did this.

[Locked // 85% Unhackable] *loves him*

[tic-tech-turtle.livejournal.com]

And I thank you for that. I'm...very glad that Mike has a friend like you.

[that isn't a lie]

[Locked // 85% Unhackable] *loves back!*

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Yeah. You and yours... it is good to see you looking out for one another.
