It's been a while since I posted a teaser... and ante_luce reminded me.
Just to prove we are still working on this one...
Bringing Ratchet back online had been the easy part. To try to explain to the enraged medic the situation they were in and assist him in repairing the offline mechs had been the less than glamorous part and Inferno had made a point to leave Wheeljack and Perceptor to Ratchet's mercies.
Ratchet had bellowed at every chance he had about the unholy amounts of dust that clogged the crew's intakes, joints, and every nook and cranny. In a way it was oddly comforting to listen to their medic's tirade, it granted Wheeljack a measure of familiarity in this very unfamiliar world they had crashed into.
Perceptor had remained blissfully quiet during the outbursts, keeping his concentration on cleaning as much dust out of their comrades' bodies as he could manage. It had been just their luck that Perceptor had a device at hand that helped to air-drain the dust, which Ratchet was currently using to clear Optimus Prime's conduits and intakes to bring him back online. Unfortunately, that meant Wheeljack and Perceptor had to do with brushes to clear as much of the dust as possible off the other Autobots' bodies.
