WHO: The Spine and anyone
WHERE: The Spine had meant to head from the Junkpile back to the Hub but in his current condition it's easy to imagine him wandering elsewhere without realizing it.
WHEN: March 16th
WHAT: Someone's sick, oops.
WARNINGS: The Spine is a dork, does that count?
The discovery of the strange formation of brown crystals didn't even strike the bot as odd. Who was he to say what was normal to find and what wasn't? What he hadn't found so far was any sign of instruments, and itching to put his fingers to guitar strings that was what his thoughts were on. Musing if maybe someone else that had arrived had found or made one, or if they knew where one might be. Something to think about, maybe he'd put out a call later on.
But he certainly should have gotten back to the Hub by now. Even on foot he wasn't that slow... except for the fact that apparently he'd stopped walking without realizing. A hiccup in the multitasking protocols more than likely, easy enough to shrug off. Unlike the way the world was starting to sway around him. Various alerts cropping up to warn him of the sudden imbalance he was suffering, the titanium automaton letting out a startled billow of steam as he tried to shift his stance so his servos would re-align with which way was up. At least that was the plan.
What happened instead was his vision blurring to static for an alarming moment, and anyone nearby would have seen the robot suddenly stumbling, foot catching and sending him to the ground in a heap, steam curling from vents and along the vertebrae protruding from his back.

[No one does reggaeton Knockout what are you even smoking.]
no subject
He wishes that thing didn't even exist. And look, the Temple can be seen already.]

You will have to get down now. I don't think I can change back while holding you and not trigger a breakdown.
[He doesn't know how the Spine works but he can tell the bot is barely unconscious. It was better not to stress his systems further.]
no subject
He nodded at the instruction, pushing himself out of the seat and onto his feet. Really though, from the way he was swaying, it was debatable how long he'd keep upright.]
no subject
the Spine doesn't have to worry about falling, as soon as Knock Out transforms he picks him up again. To the medbay they go.]
If you have the same disease as Sora then it's unlikely that I'll be able to fix you but I should be able to make sure things doesn't get worse.
no subject
Somethin' new then I take it?
no subject
Odd things happens here from time to time due to the Lambda's and Unicron's influence. If we are lucky, those don't last further than a few days or weeks.
[It doesn't take them all that much to get to the medbay. Knock Out walsk in as if he owns the place, which he does, and looks for an empty human sized berth. He puts the Spine down carefully..]
What do you use as fuel? Just water?
no subject
[The smaller bot just settled back on the berth willingly, optics dimming slightly.]
Yeah. If you've got a way to, cold water's the best way to help with this overheating. [It might not stay cold what with the whole steam-powered thing, but it would offer a bit of relief.]
no subject
I have cold water and coolant. Can you process the second one? Your berth is next to the window, I'll open it so the cool air helps to reduce your engine's temperature.
no subject
Just water. Anything I drink goes straight to my boiler and I don't want to think about what coolant would do to the filtration system.
Coolant's only for certain parts, nothing else really needs it, bein' simple gears and hydraulics. Other than those certain parts, it's about on level with 50's tech on Earth, if you're familiar at all with that.
no subject
Not all that familiar but I can learn. [He does like to learn about new tech stuff. or old techs stuff in this case.]
no subject
It's pretty simple stuff. Gears, pistons, hydraulics. Mostly mechanical rather than software and digital.
no subject
You don't know how hard is to find those things on your size? Would this be enough?
no subject
That'll be plenty, thanks.
no subject
You are welcome. If you need more and I'm not around call one of the medic drones around the medbay. They aren't the most conversational creatures but they do their job efficiently.
no subject
[If there's anything that can be counted on, it's that The Spine is unfailingly polite.]
I'll be sure to keep that in mind. Shouldn't be draining my boiler too quickly, somethin' tells me I'm going to be doing plenty of sleeping.
no subject
[They are going to be great friends then.]
Recharging always helps the systems. The less you stress them the better. In the meantime I'll be trying to figure out why this is happening.
