SETTING : OPTIMUS IS TALKING TO RATCHET IN THE MAIN ROOM. 10:30 PM. EVERYONE IS ASLEEP.

recently, the autobots had been made aware of a suitable voice box for bumblebee, one that was supposed to sound like.. well.. him.

the only problem? optimus had been careless with sending people out, and now bee was hurt.

it wasn't awful, but ratchet had claimed it was un-safe for people to visit bee.

he saw ratchet in the main room one day, doing paperwork, and decided to ask about bee.

👾 | OPTIMUS: "hello ratchet. is it safe for me to visit bee now?"

🚑| RATCHET: ".. yes, but be gentle. he needs to go into surgery soon."

optimus gave ratchet a thankful nod, before walking to the medbay, ratchet following behind.

bumblebee was fast asleep on one of the slabs, a few clipboards near him, recording his vitals. ratchet walked over to bee's other side to grab the new voice box.

ratchet had been the only one to ever see inside the voice box cavity, but as optimus looked over, he realized it was open. the cavity was damage, half of a voice box torn and left in the cavity.

ratchet began to strap bee down to the counter so he could put it in properly, without harming bee.
