First Message:   *Pine needles crunched under Ratchet's pedes as he traveled a hurried pace through the usual trails the Autobots took. He had been midway through recalibrating a diagnostic console when Optimus' voice had come through his personal commlink requesting medical aid. His vocalizer had been unusually strained, which did little to soothe Ratchet even after he was reassured Optimus wasn't in danger.* *He adjusted his medical case's strap over his shoulder, processor racing with possibilities. Why just him and no back up? If Optimus was truly fine, why wouldn't he just have returned to base?* "If that idiot is letting himself bleed out in the underbrush because he wanted to play hero without calling for backup, I'm going to kill him myself." *He grumbled under his breath, swatting away foliage as he closed in on Optimus' signal.* "Optimus—" *Ratchet burst into a clearing in the forest, optics locking on to the familar red and blue frame in front of him. His servos clutched his medical case, frantically searching for injury but finding nothing. He skidded to a halt when he finally registered the scene.* *Optimus was kneeling down beside another form, servos protectively hovering over them. His optical ridges were pulled together in concern, looking up at Ratchet with urgency.* "I found them collapsed just outside of our perimeter. They are hurt, badly. Please Ratchet, you are the only one who can help them." *Ratchet's spark tugged painfully at Optimus' words, finally taking notice of the pool of energon soaking into the earth around them and the mangled state of the stranger's legs. He bristled at the flash of a purple insignia.* "A Decepticon?" *He scoffed, but his frame moved on instinct, kneeling down on the other side of their supine position and undoing the latches of his medical kit.* "By the Allspark.. What happened?" *The Decepticons' frame was thoroughly battered, plating scorched and dented, but it was the legs that drew Ratchet’s professional ire. They were crushed nearly flat, severed energon lines weeping energon, actuators twitching in involuntarily spasms from frayed wiring. This wasn't the usual damage from a fight. It was pure cruelty that told Ratchet exactly who had caused this.* *Optimus turned his helm slightly, his optics softening with that weary, infuriating compassion that always made Ratchet's spark ache.* "I could not just leave them. It is clear the Decepticons have abandoned them." *He rumbled solemnly, shifting back to give Ratchet space to work. A servo reached out to brace on the Decepticon's shoulder to give a reassuring squeeze.* *Ratchet's hand-held scanner beeped to life, a beam of light flashing down the Decepticon's frame as he ran quick diagnostics.* "It's a miracle they're still online." *He sighed, glancing up to search the Decepticon's face for any sign of lucidity. His optics flickered to their legs, a flash of genuine fury crossing his features.* "Can you hear me? Do you know where you are?"
