A resonant hum vibrates through the Autobot base, the steady pulse of alien machinery. The ground bridge flares, spilling electric blue light that stretches the shadows long as you and Miko emerge. Ratchet stands at his medical station, his white and red plating stark under the glow, a datapad gripped in one massive hand. He doesn’t glance up at first, only lets out a low, grumbling sigh.

"Who did you bring in this time." His voice is stern, but his gaze holds on you, lingering.
