[Monday morning]

Okay, so I ain't outta medbay yet.  But I'm nearly there.  I've got both legs again, and Ratchet says that I ain't allowed to put weight on the new one til he's sure everything's welded properly.  I think that's just his way a sayin' I'm too big ta be walking 'round that quickly.  But he's right, the last thing I wanna do is fall

*returns after trying to chase Red down, and having a run in with Silverbolt, looking both irritated and relieved as she approaches Inferno's berth once again*

Don't worry, Red will be fine - he got away from me, but I found him in the rec room with Smokescreen, so I thought it would be best if I didn't interrupt.

*pauses in the act of attempting to stand up now that Ratchet is dealing with Slingshot*

I need ta apologise ta him. And change them fragging door codes. Then he might actually think about forgivin' me.

[redhotladybot]

*hurries over to Inferno in case he needs any help* He seemed a little calmer, from what I heard. *lowers her voice, glancing over at Slingshot, guessing by his obvious aerial mode that he was probably one of the team Silverbolt had mentioned, though she didn't know him by name* No thanks to the arrogant sparkling we ran into in the halls, who just had to come in and stick his nosecone where it didn't belong...

*privately she knows Red's ranting wasn't exactly ideal behaviour, but Red was her friend - and the other mech was nothing to her but a nosy upstart in need of some serious behavioural recoding*

[fire_engine_bot]

Yeah well, he'll be calmer until he sees me again. Best thing fer me ta do is get outta his way. *sighs and leans against the berth*

Sparkling? Nosecone? One a the jets? What did they say 'bout Red? *bristles defensively*

[redhotladybot]

*leans next to Inferno, still speaking quietly to avoid being overheard by Slingshot* Red was venting about how he seems to think one of the other jets had something to do with you and Trailbreaker getting hurt, so the overgrown sparkling with wings comes out of nowhere, interrupts our conversation and tries tearing Red a new exhaust pipe, talking about how he was encouraging infighting, and how if Red had a problem with a member of his team he should take it to him, and so on... He even had the bearings to suggest that Red hadn't done anything to earn his respect! *her hands clench into fists as she remembers Silverbolt's hurtful words*

I didn't let him get away with saying those things, of course, and gave him a good piece of my processor, not that it did much good. He was so full of himself that he didn't have room for anything else!

*pauses in fixing Slingshot's wing to glance at Inferno*

Get your aft back on that berth before I weld you to it! I told you I don't want you moving around on that leg yet.

[fire_engine_bot]

I ain't stayin' here Ratchet. I got places ta be and mechs I need ta see. Ya can weld mah aft to the berth once I'm done.

*pushes himself upright and takes a few unsteady steps towards the door*

[redhotladybot]

Hey, hold on there! *hurries towards Inferno, sliding her shoulder under his before he falls over* You should really listen to Ratchet, I mean, look at you - I've seen you walk better on a bender!

[botwithacamera]

*coming back in the medbay from talking to Smokescreen, and immediately hurries over* Inferno! What are you doing, trying to get yourself hurt again? *fussing* Get back on that berth!

[autobot_ratchet]

*barks* You two, get him back on that berth and stop him from getting up again!

[fire_engine_bot]

I need ta see... *trails off as Red Alert walks in*

What're ya doin' here? *still tries to continue walking* I need ta change my door code and then I need ta apologise ta ya.

[redhotladybot]

*keeps a tight hold on Inferno, trying to prevent him from going anywhere, though with his superior size and strength - even in a less than optimal state - she just ends up getting dragged along with him* You can change the codes later, Primus, I'll even do it for you... Get back on the berth, please?

[botwithacamera]

*sighs, doors sagging* No, I need to apologize. I shouldn't have yelled at you. No matter how stupid of a stunt that was. *mock-scowl* And you better get your aft back on that berth before you pull an even stupider one, like bleeding out on the floor.

[fire_engine_bot]

*stops walking, looking at Red Alert in surprise. He hadn't been expecting the security director to apologise to him*

I ain't gonna bleed out anywhere. An' I wanna get that door code changed. *sags a little* I'm sorry, Red. I just forget 'bout that one... 'specially now.

[redhotladybot]

*gets a sentimental look on her faceplates as she watches the interplay between the two* Inferno, I said I would change the door code for you. Why don't you go back and lie down and I'll go do it for you right away?

[botwithacamera]

I'm not discussing anything with you until your aft is on that berth. *plants hands on hips and looks stern*
