R0-53 had mined energon for the rogue for some time now. This had been the first time the mech had actually comm-ed him and asked him for any form of help... so automatically he knew something was wrong.
R0-53 looked at the... rather pathetic looking lifeform in front of him with a sigh and a shake of his head. "And you call ME crazy." He grumbled while having a barely conscious Starscream point out where to connect the energon lines to his scorched and dented frame. He didn't dare ask what happened... actually no he vaguely remembers someone telling him about "Screamer's death" though he didn't believe it, he's glad the guy survived none the less weather or not what he heard was true anyway. Sadly the moment the last line was secured, the Seeker went out like a candle... leaving Rose alone in the situation. While he has in fact done research, he wasn't exactly capable of REPAIRING A SEEKER! "Uh...." he logged onto the Vehicon Comm system... "uh... can someone put me through to Knockout...." he took another glance at Starscream. "Please." He pleaded.
:Ugh what is it? I'm busy!: Knockout's voice flooded into the comm."Apologies sir but I need a bit of help. A comrade's injured and we're in no position to groundbridge... so I was hoping you could provide instructions, sir." R0-53 hoped to appeal to KO as a Medic. While he IS a Decepticon and probably the most vain being he knows of... Knockout is still a Medic and should at least feel SOMETHING for injured creatures. He perked when he heard a sigh. :what's your designation?: bring on the theatrics. "R0-53 sir." :Too long. I know you Vehicons give each other nicknames based on your codes so what is it?: "Rose... sir." :Just Knockout. Now, Rose what kind of injuries are we talking?: Rowan had to stop himself from sounding relieved at KO's help. "Extensive burns and dents to the armor and possibly the form beneath... also I have to put his T-cog back. There's signs of old improper repairs..." Rose started to list off while looking around for any of his tools and equipment he had brought over. As well as looking for some official Cybertronian Medical Equipment he'd hopefully be able to use, he's pretty sure he saw a few of those tools around somewhere.
Knockout didn't ask irrelevant questions... mostly. And in the long periods of silence Rose could just TELL that the Medic was busy fixing his own armor. The one time Knockout had asked what was taking so long, Rose simply stated that he had "shaky survos" which wasn't a lie, he was practically rattling while working.
Minutes became hours, hours might have became more.
People may start wondering where he was (he seriously hopes they buy the excuse about researching local plant life because he's out of ideas on what to tell them... aside from the truth which was a no go). The final damage had been repaired, KO had left with the command to keep him updated.
Rose felt tired and filthy, a combination he despised. With a sigh he sat down on the ground and waited in silence, scratching at his arms out of annoyance of the energon coating them. His hands stopped shaking at least...
'So today I talked to the Decepticon Medic: Knockout who walked me through how to patch up a heavily damaged Seeker although under the impression I was simply helping a fellow soldier... should I feel bad for lying? I don't like lying to a medic. Though I CAN'T talk about Starscream because both sides want to kill him where he stands- er sleeps.'
