o29 ★ ENGINES WILL START AGAIN

[electrowhipit]

[ o1 | PHONE ]

That... woman- no, that monster scrapped Sideswipe for parts. He's barely hanging on as it is.

[ There's kind of a quiet anger beneath the surface of Jolt's voice, which is strained as it is. It's... weird for him, to say the least, but he's truly and genuinely mad, and scared as hell. He's not doing a very good job at hiding it. ]

I need help. If anyone knows what she might have done with the pieces, please, I'll do anything. I can keep him alive, but--- but I don't have the tech to repair him. Not completely. Everything here is so--- I need Cybertronian parts, not car parts.

[ There's a pause, as he considers making a separate phone call, but clearly decides not to since he continues speaking ]

Quinn, if you're still out there, I have a particular favor to ask you. I don't... even know if you can do this, but my scans just aren't as comprehensive as Ratchet's would be. Can you... maybe run some kind of diagnostic? The damage is so severe, I don't think I have the full scope of it yet.

I'm going to need all the help I can get on this one. I'm not going to let him die.

I made a promise.


[ o2 | ACTION | AROUND TOWN ]

[ Jolt can be found tromping around town, rifling through dumpsters, tearing apart parked cars for parts. He does so with very little regard for his surroundings- he's not so careless as to step on someone, mind, but he's not really paying attention beyond that.

Call it a case of tunnel vision, if you will, since he doesn't even make an effort to transform back into his vehicle mode. Enjoy your giant robot, Mayfield. ]


[ o3 | ACTION | 5718 CUNNINGHAM LANE ]

[ Jolt didn't dare move Sideswipe from the driveway where he'd first fallen. The silver body lay deathly still amongst a mess of wires and several car batteries, all connected to nearby power lines in a makeshift life-support system. Yes, he's alive. Simply in stasis.

He carefully moves around his patient, trying to repair what his miniscule tools and supplies will allow him to. It's not going well. ]

[ He sets his armful of pieces down near Sideswipe, before moving back to the car to unload it. ]

You've done more than enough already.

[bloodsugar]

[hnn... he doesn't suppose his brand of technological savvy would be useful here, would it? he knows nothing about this and would probably only be a distraction.]

...Mr. Jolt, I'll get out of your hair, alright? If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to ring me up. You know where to find me, now, mm?

[electrowhipit]

Yeah. I... the same goes for you. If you need anything, please give me a call.

[ He kneels, extending a finger to Abel- that handshake he didn't get earlier ]

Thanks again.

[bloodsugar]

[ah-- ahaha. he gives him a smile, reaching out to grasp the end of that finger MY YOU'RE BIG and shake it politely.]

Good luck. To both of you.

[electrowhipit]

Thanks. I'll let you know how it goes.

[bloodsugar]

[nodding, he gives one last look to Sideswipe... ugh -- that woman had so much to answer for... before he retreats back into his car to head home.

have fun buddy ;;]

[electrowhipit]

[ Thanks bro ;o; ]
