She does the things you do; But she's an IBM [Closed]

WHO: Prime!Ratchet, Sari, and maybe some Animated!Optimus as guardian~
WHERE: Ratchet's medbay
WHEN ...ha. Haha. WAY BACKDATED. Before the monster event.
WHAT: Sari was injured before arrival, in her home universe. And... she needs a medic, not a doctor.
WARNINGS: Mild gore? And potentially panicked little girls. :c


He wasn't their Ratchet, but he was the closest thing they'd seen on the network since arriving. The only familiar looking doctor around, human or robot.

And given the way her injured elbow was sparking on occasion, seemingly real skin and flesh burnt away to reveal glowing circuitry underneath...a Cybertronian medic was clearly the best option.

There hadn't been a lot of time for Sari to focus on her surprise 'condition' since arriving, what with trying to find anyone she knew at all, as well as getting settled in and just finding food she needed to survive. That didn't make much sense, given her state. Shouldn't she have to drink oil or energon now or something? -Ew, yuck! Normal food still worked, so whatever!

Wrapping the wound up under some cloth had hidden it away, and without seeing the open injury, it had been able to fade away to a dull throb, handled gingerly and kept in the back of her mind. For a while.

But after spotting the different Ratchet on the network...Optimus was all too eager to get her to some help. She almost didn't want to any more. She was fine! And...she wasn't ready to face the fact that her dad was a dirty, sneaky liar, and her whole entire life had been one massive lie.

Too bad for her. Sari was stuck grumbling from her perch on Optimus' shoulder, picking at the bandage as they worked their way over to the medic's office for a surprise visit.

Ratchet hadn't been sure what to expect when he'd been contacted by this "Sari", but it certainly hadn't been a little girl riding on the shoulder of not-his-Optimus.

His optics widen ever so slightly when the two of them come in, but he's back to being a professional the moment he starts stepping forward to greet them.

"Hello. I haven't met you before, but I'm assuming that you're Sari?"

He speaks to her, rather than Optimus, because she's his patient and because speaking to a child's parent instead of the child is disrespectful.
docbot: (when no one else was looking)

HI!

"It does make sense that all the versions of me would look similar. Ah... may I?"

Ratchet holds out his hand, showing her the scanner he's about to use.

"This is just a scanner. Won't touch you at all, except with some electromagnetic radiation, but it'll give me a good idea about how to get started on fixing you."

She's so young that he's defaulted to the Tell-Show-Do method of dealing with younglings in the clinic. Plus, surprises are never a good thing, right?

sorry for the tl'dr

Ratchet raises an eyebrow at Optimus's easy acquiescence to Sari's orders, but lets things slide. He's got no idea how things work where they come from, and it's not like that Optimus is his, anyway.

He busies himself with his scan, letting the orange lights glow from his forearm as they let him know how Sari functions and, possibly, how to fix her. She's quite a feat of engineering, actually -- there's quite a few systems in the uninjured parts of her body that are trying to tell him that she's completely organic. Was she designed to spy on the humans...?

There's so many questions that this child brings up, and he can't ask any of them. It's frustrating.

At least there's one issue that he can address.

It looks like Sari's injury will be a quick fix. Just an quick infusion of minerals to boost-- except that he didn't have any booster shots on him because his medbay wasn't stocked with anything really, at this point. Hmph.

"Sari, may I take a closer look at your injury, please? I'll need to give your circuits a quick solder, then we can patch that up."

This is the least elegant solution there ever was, but it's going to be the best he can come up with under the circumstances. Hopefully Sari won't call him on it.
