Small miracles. Sometimes you have to be thankful for the little things.

...Killing a sparkeater is actually kind of a big thing, but still.

[And there's the spiritualist bullshit we all know and love.]

[old_school_medic]

[Know? Yes. Love? Not so much.]

Problem with miracles is you don't always get them.

Nor do you always have a medic around to build new arms.

[Which leads him to ponder.......]

How the frag have you two been getting along here, anyway?

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[Yeaaaaaah Drift's just not going to mention that time he was hit by lightning]

We're not as reckless as you seem to think, Ratchet. But there is a medic in town. He's kind of a beginner compared to you, but he does good work.

[old_school_medic]

[No, no, please do mention that. Ratchet knows he's right. He could use some confirmation.]

[SQUINT.]

You let someone else touch my work?

[Yes, you heard him right. He's just ever so slightly miffed.]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[That goes over Drift's head for a second. He just thinks that's a stupid question at first.]

I couldn't exactly be picky when there was only one medic in town, you know.

[Aaaand he'd just admitted that he'd needed a medic. commence the mental kicking of himself. Right in the mental butt.]

[old_school_medic]

[Thanks for walking right into his trap, Drift. At least you're predictable. And now he's going to ramp that squint up to a Peer.]

Care to let me know what you needed done?

[So he can a) check out the work and b) smack you and not necessarily in that order.]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

I just needed to have work done on an optic, is all.

[As in when he was hit by lightning it totally EXPLODED and he had it replaced AAAAAAAANYWHO.]

It's really no big deal.

[old_school_medic]

Just. [All fun and games until you lose an optic, huh, Drift?]

How much work?

[He does not sound particularly conversational. He figures Drift is holding out on him. He does not like that.]

I'll decide if it's a 'big deal' or not, thank you very much.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[Yeahhhh more or less.]

Ah, y'know. Full replacement. But! I assure you, it's working just fine now. I can see all the stress lines in your face with perfect clarity.

[Maybe now wasn't the time to be a smart ass. But fuck it.]

[old_school_medic]

[He figured as much.]

And how's it like this face, Drift.

[As in this JUDGING FROWN.]

There a medibay around here? [Guess why he's asking, Drift. Just guess? Hint: Someone's going to get his eye examined. With extreme prejudice.]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Yes, there is. And I know what you're thinking. I'm in perfect working order, optic included.

[Uuuuuugggghhhh But Ratcheeeet.]

[old_school_medic]

[Good! Guess where your next stop is, Drift? Just guess.]

Oh? And what medical academy did you graduate from?

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[Disney Land? 8(]

Come on Ratchet. I'm fine.

[all he has to do is not take Ratchet to the medibay SO THERE.]

[old_school_medic]

[ B| No, Drift. No.]

If you're so fine, you've got nothing to hide from me. Right?

[Dodge that one, Drift.]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[balls.]

Okay, fine, you win. I'll show you to the medibay.

[DRIFT IS SURE HE IS FINE not really]

[old_school_medic]

[It may not look like it, but there's a bit of a victory dance going on in Ratchet's head. As the young folks like Verity might say, "Booyah.".]

Good. Once we get you sorted out, we can work on a way to get out of this place.

[However, that first task could take a while.]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[yeah yeah just try not to throw a hip out with your victory jig there buddy]

I'm still learning the ins and outs of this place myself, but as far as getting out of here goes, that... might take a while to figure out.

[dude every thing will take a while.]

[old_school_medic]

[So gracious in defeat, Drift.]

I'm surprised you and Rodimus haven't tried some sort of 'thrilling heroics' scenario already.


[Or have you...........]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[damn right]

Mostly we've been just trying to learn more about this place before we do anything drastic.

[Yeah they're stopping and THINKING for once isn't that GREAT]

[old_school_medic]

Yeah?

[Great, perhaps. Definitely surprising. He might have to check to see if Drift's running a fever.]

So what have you figured out?

[And was it worth whatever you did to your optic?]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

A whole lot of stuff that I'm not that good at explaining. Basically what it boils down to is we can't leave, so "thrilling heroics" are all but pointless.

[And the optic thing was totally unrelated to literally everything of any importance.]

I mean, I know people who can tell you better than I'd be able to, I'll get someone to explain it all.
