Having been informed of Soundwave's ... less than optimal experiences with other versions of himself, Ratchet isn't quite sure what to do. On one hand, he wants to get in and start investigating the mech's injuries, in order to get him restored to full function. On the other, the shame he feels for the actions of his other selves makes him want to avoid Soundwave as much as possible.

Caught between the two desires, he's been hovering, staying in the medbay within earshot of Soundwave, but never starting any sort of conversation or initiating contact. At this point, though, it's been hours since he's come in, and he hasn't seen Soundwave refuel at all. It's this that's pushed him forward with a cube of energon and a vaguely harried expression.

"Ah... you should fuel up."
