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.
