[Bumblebee revs his engine emphatically, and text scrolls along the comm as he transmits as soon as he thinks of what to say.]
No no no no, that isn't it! I know what you're capable of- I've seen what you're capable of! But look at us-
Ironhide, me, Optimus. We're all capable, but we've all been wounded, hurt, even-
[He can't say the last part; not about Optimus.]
It's not that I don't think you're capable. Or that I think you're some weak organic, or anything like that. I promise, please believe me. I just don't want to see you scarred up like Ironhide, like us. Or killed. Even if there's a good chance you'll come back, or that the scars will go away.
I'm sorry. I know it's selfish. But I'm not without my own faults, I guess...I didn't mean to hurt you with them.

I know, I...know. [ She remembered, she was there. All the guilt Sam had felt and shouldered and she wasn't without her own share of that, too. If she'd driven faster, went a different way, something, anything. It's irrational, she knows but still there.]
It's...its okay, I was just...really mad and upset. But... I've been here a while, I know the ship, and...I've died here, before. So... I know what that feels like, too.

[Rrrgh, dammit Mikaela you're pinging on all the things he can identify with. He cycles air through his vents again, this time quicker, like a sigh. And he transforms; kind of like stretching. He doesn't like being in his alt form all the time now that he doesn't have to be.]
You're at a severe disadvantage here. Do you have to fight to prove yourself? If I suggest something else you can do, would you be willing to give it some thought?
[commentlog of love]soldierbeeJuly 13 2010, 15:54:01 UTC
Well, yeah.
I mean- you'd probably have to spend time with Ratchet, and we'd really have to improvise. And huge wounds, like with a lot of my fluids leaking or something would have to be left to him unless we could happen to find a full bodied radiation suit for you, but...
Well, you're right. You've been on the ship a long time; you know a lot more about it than I do.

[She quirks a brow at him.]
Bee, do you really think that this while time Ratchet has been here, I haven't pestered him about it once? I mean, Ironhide doesn't like letting me poke but uh... You guys aren't the only 'bots that have been here, either. And, the first time you were here, you let me have a look.

So you want to do this to...prove yourself? That's why?

Really? About how knowledgeable would you say you are? Do you think you could run a basic maintenance check?
We'd need to get you some welding tools probably...and a laser scalpel. But I have no idea where to get one of those here.
