Ratchet is once more laser deep in a project. Huge surprise, we know, but the 'bot likes tinkering and for what he's working on, it's much easier at this size.

Come inquire what he's up to. He'll gladly bore you with science talk.

[Ratchet, Alyx Vance, Larxene]

Distraction is a wonderful thing, Will needs it and so he wonders over to the robot,

"What are ye workin' on, sir?"

He's just a bit sore but nothing is broken, yay for Jedi healing powers.

"An enclosed system capable of pumping fluids and microscopic particles indefinitely and made of various metal alloys and chemical compounds," Ratchet sums up. The laser shuts off and his limb reverts into a hand. The move results in a small mechanical thing being revealed with various tubes. The liquid within is clear.

"Hello," Ratchet says cheerfully.

[will_scarlett]

"What's that goin' to do, sir?"

"Eventually, I hope it'll be an excellent circulatory system, but there's still a lot of work to be done before that happens. This is still in the early experimental stages."

Ratchet looks at him, blue optics unwavering.

"Do you have any experience in working biological systems besides your own?"

The Alyx Vance is very interested! In both the robot and what he's working on.

She leans over from her own table to peer at Ratchet's tinkering.

Ratchet automatically shifts to allow her to peer at it. He's used to working with Lissar and letting her see what he's working on. This happens to be a series of tubes with a clear liquid in them in addition to a small squarish container that's thrumming slightly.

"I'm sealing this case shut," he says aloud as the laser sears the metal on the thrumming bit.

He's also used to explaining what he's working on.

"What is it?"

[no_tactdiplomat]

"An enclosed system capable of pumping fluids and microscopic particles indefinitely and made of various metal alloys and chemical compounds." The laser shuts off and he sits up, transforming the tool into his hand.

"Early experimental phase, of course."

[The happy, late, and slow tag of doom?]

"Ah, another." Larxene didn't really care for the infrequency of her targets appearances, but that could not be helped. "Are you an autobot?"

[no_tactdiplomat]

Ratchet snaps the laser off. "I am," he says, looking up.

Say, he knows that coat, doesn't he.

"I'm designated Ratchet, medic of the Autobots."

[harmitwithspark]

"Good. I'm XII or Organization XIII. I'm to interview you, it will only take a moment." she didn't really offer the fact as reassurance, but truth. He was busy, she was busy.

It'd be quick.

[no_tactdiplomat]

"Interview me?" Ratchet shutters his blue optics at her. "For who?"

The Autobot was a politician for a very long time. You don't just give out interviews to anyone who asks.
