32nd Transmission -- Forward-Dated just a few hours

[heavyweaponsbot]

[An accidental transmission, this time. Silence at first. Is it recording from the site of the downed ceiling?

... Judging from the sudden gasp of air through intake cycles, no, it's not. There's no slow wakening when you're an Autobot. Everything comes back online at once. And you lie there, staring at the ceiling, trying to get your bearings.]


Where...? Oh.

[Metal creaks, and he groans, deciding against moving for the moment.]

What happened?



((ooc: So. What do you lose when you're a giant robot who wears no clothing? Or carries possessions? Either way, he's back in his room. Bracing himself for scolding.))

... I am functional.

[Which isn't a lie. Everything is working...]

[tic-tech-turtle.livejournal.com]

Good.

I'm glad to see you safely returned.

[He's short because he was worried. And a bit ticked off. But mostly worried.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah... you and a lot of others.

[Not to say he doesn't appreciate it. He probably will more when all his systems finish refreshing and changing back into their preferred settings.]

[tic-tech-turtle.livejournal.com]

A lot of people were worried.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah... I heard. Back now, though.

[tic-tech-turtle.livejournal.com]

You are.

[he's not bringing up what he mentioned before, about staying careful. Don figures that Ironhide's going to be hearing it loud and clear for the next long while.]

You ahve someone coming to check you over, correct? Ratchet?

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Oh, he's getting an audio-full of it from everywhere.]

Yeah. Ratchet is... on his way. No need to. Everything is functional.

[tic-tech-turtle.livejournal.com]

[Good.]

I assure you, there's plenty need to, regardless of how functional you are.

[heavyweaponsbot]

What? Why?

[tic-tech-turtle.livejournal.com]

Perhaps he'll tell you his reasons, if you don't realize them yourself.

[Pause. Okay, that had been a bit snippy. Sigh.]

I'm not Ratchet, of course, but for me it would be for reassurance and understanding. And, I suppose, assurance. One way or another.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Hmnf!

...

You act like he does. Nothing is wrong. System diagnostics say so... [But he trails off.] He is on his way anyway. Get it figured out then, I guess.
