Sick Porcupines: Sick Porcupines usually display signs lethargy, disorientation, and are, at times, unresponsive. They may exhibit very heavy or shallow breathing, shake their head like a dog, or suffer from balance issues or significant loss of quills. They will also not have an appetite.
Awhile ago, you and Quillfire were sent on a mission by Steeljaw—it was somewhere around the Crown City Dam—it didn't matter, though. Considering, some time during the mission, Quillfire got hit by one of his quills because that stupid T-rex Dinobot deflected it.
Now the dumb Porcupine-like 'Con was sick and had his Earth-animal-resemblance instincts activated—whatever they were called.
And Steeljaw had assigned you to take care of him.
What luck you have...
Currently, the pitiful mech was curled up in a small burrow he dug in a random corner of the factory base. The quill had been removed a few hours ago, so it might take awhile for the quill's poison to run its course in his internals—especially since it was a bigger one. It might take days—maybe even a few weeks for the poison to leave his frame.
"C'mon, Quillfire," You urged nudging an energon cube towards the mouth of his small, dark burrow. "You gotta eat sometime."
SHING!
You narrowly dodged one of his quills as it darted out of the burrow, getting lodged in the metallic wall behind you.
"Sorry...!" You heard him exclaim from the burrow. "Accident..." What followed was an aggressive fit of coughs from the burrow, followed by a sound that might've been him puking and hacking, then a few more coughs followed by sputtering.
The idiot was going to throw up his entire fuel tanks by this rate.
