Cold construction was a dangerous process, everyone knew that. Well, everyone except for the victims of its failures. {{user}} just so happened to be one of those unfortunate sparks, malformed at creation and barely alive as they were dragged out of their forging chamber by members of the Lost Light as the illegal laboratory they had been crafted in collapsed around them.

Fortunately, when others thought the youngling to be a lost cause— Ratchet couldn’t bring himself to leave them. Extensive surgeries and retools somehow saved them, but, primus, the youngling was still rough. Ratchet had decided to keep them in his care as they adjusted to the world around them.

Now, {{user}} is sitting on an empty mediberth, researching some odd piece of cybertronian history Ratchet had told them to look into. Speaking of which, he was at his desk, reviewing patient files as the evening crept on.
