And also on you, quite likely. Kits do that sometimes. But you will probably love them anyway. I certainly will.

 

Yeesh that sounds awful. Mostly the bonding thing sounds awful. Thanks, lost my brother once already. Don't need more weakspots.

Uh-huh that just sounds like a whole big load of slag, if you ask me. You can take your Decepticon propaganda and shove it up your exhaust pipe, buddy. I'M NOT BUYING.

 

If they puke on me do I get to hand them off to an adult?

 

Fair. One mech's comfort might be another's terror, I'm certainly not going to try and convince anyone that the Licentan social model is objectively the best option. Just trying to explain something that seemed to be confusing.

 

You ain't got MTO medics 'Bot-side?

Huh. Makes sense. Don't care if you swap badges. Means slag to me. 'Forged hands work better' pretty common sentiment, regardless of side.

 

But that doesn't make sense. Why would forged hands work better?

 

They don't. Mindset's common enough to lock constructed cold mechs outta opportunities though. Used to be considered a rogue element because I'd steal med supplies for my squad when we got sent out, not having a medic, like.

 

As long as it's a family member. If you take them out of the house and they puke on you, you can't give them to random strangers. But...I probably won't let you take them out of the house until they're a little older and don't throw up just because they tried a new food and liked it and ate it all up too fast before we could stop them.

 

I suppose there could be a small bit of fluidity potentially lost, but with good enough construction, it's a moot point. Look at my hands. They are very large and frankly unwieldy. It would be ridiculous to say that I am more dextrous because I am forged, and...

...you can't say people are unable to do a thing effectively if you refuse to teach them! How dare they send you out without proper supplies?

 

You didn't have a medic? That's! That's terrible!

 

... Well there wasn't much supplies to go around at times? Um. We were all told to prioritize care and stuff. Not taht I could've made decisions, considering I was stuck on assistance duty because of my non-mobile alt mode and because I'm an MTO and stuff. Fahrenheit sure believed the "Forged hands work better" thing. And of course I never learned I just got all the knowledge uploaded to my brain. That's different somehow.

 

It's stupid. Educated people can make more informed decisions. How you were created has nothing to do with your capability to learn and think, it's...

I thought the Decepticons were the ones that were about equality.

 

What the little one said. Supply lines got fragged midline through the war. Fragged worse when we left planet. Wasn't given them to prioritize 'real' mechs. Ironic, given the manifesto, but I only read that after.

Suicide missions ain't meant to be survival. Jokes on them. I am a medic.

 

-There's a long pause from Iridium.-

I am going to yell at Megatron someday.

 

Take a number, get in line.

 

And then I am going to yell at Optimus Prime.

Heck, why don't we throw the Alchemist in there, too?

 

Given infinite time and resources, there are a great many people I'd love to yell at. Starting with the members of the Senate. Also, every member of the current council, Megatron, Optimus Prime, everyone who thought making cold-constructed mechs just to throw on a battlefield with little to no knowledge was a good idea, every single one of the Thirteen, and ending with Primus Himself, if he exists. Not that that's the entirety of my list, you understand, but that would take entirely too long.

...maybe that's what I'll use liminal space for. Can I call that "therapeutic", Sarge?

 

This sounds like a wonderful idea.

 

I was about to say.

Don't know about Alchemist, but Optimus Prime needs yelled at as well.
...
And I think there's a line for that, as well.

 

Um. Please do not yell at anyone on my behalf? Throttle is entirely good enough at that!
