Tracking down a new friend...

[kaci_celica]

A black Celica weaves quietly through the hallways within Autobot City, moving quickly but going at thankfully slower speeds than had been the case during the earlier frantic race to the Medbay. Kaci throws a few sensor sweeps as she approaches her intended target, following Metroplex's ever-helpful directions

// Your assistance would be appreciated, Kaci. If you could locate human medical assistance while en route to my location, I would very much appreciate it. One of the prisoners sustained injuries before she was retrieved from the Decepticon's stronghold, and another of the prisoners is suffering from extreme panic and may require temporary sedation, // Photon replies politely. Anyone who has ever spoken to Perceptor may note a certain similarity in vocal pattern, cadence, and style.

[kaci_celica]

"//Okay. I can take a look at them when I get there and check them over with my bio-scanners. Thanks for letting me know.//"

Kaci has indeed spoken to Perceptor in the past, and the similarity in speech pattern and manner isn't lost on her. Intrigued, she rounds the next corner and pulls into Photon's view, white scanner bar flickering back and forth like the darting eyes of a curious kitten.

Photon punches in the security lock code on the last set of quarters - the ones where she put the most calm and polite of the three, actually - and turns to face the approaching car. Her blue optics watch the Celica approach, an expression of curiosity on her face as she notes the white scanner bar.

"Are you Kaci?" she asks politely.

[kaci_celica]

"Yep, I am," comes the cheerful answer.

The white scanner bar pauses and blinks out, then the Celica transforms. Blue optics meet Photon's as Kaci takes the last few steps towards Photon, offering a smile and holding out a hand.

"And you must be Photon. Nice to meet you."

A little while later, Kaci bursts into the medical center, scanners throwing wide sweeps across the room. The center looks busy. A nurse looks up from a nearby spot where she seems to be double-checking something on a clipboard, her initial surprise at the Celica's sudden arrival fading to curiosity as the familiar 'Can I help you?' expression settles on her face.

"I need a doctor's help with treating the woman in my cab," Kaci tells the nurse. "Please could you fetch one for me? It's very urgent..." She proceeds to give the nurse a brief overview of Michelle's injuries, voice projected from her external speakers but not her internal ones; she is being careful not to let Michelle know exactly how bad things might be too early, lest the woman panic or get more stressed and end up aggravating her injuries. As the nurse rushes off to locate an available doctor, Kaci rolls to one side of the room and parks herself in an out-of-the-way spot to wait. She scans Michelle again in the meantime, checking on her condition.

Michelle scowls out the window, eyes locked onto the nurse. What the heck are they saying to each other, anyway? She sighs, wincing. There's pressure building up in her chest. It feels like someone's squishing her heart, or something...

[kaci_celica]

The nurse returns a short while later with a doctor in tow. Kaci thanks her and she runs off to return to whatever she'd been doing before, leaving Kaci with the doctor. Kaci requests a private room with a securable door to take Michelle to, the doctor nods in response, and then both of them begin to head off

Michelle leans on them and limps to her bed. Feeling the bald spots where hair had been with a free hand, she sits down, wincing as even that simple movement sends knives through her chest. She glances over at Kaci with a hard-to-read look. It's almost like she's scowling, but there's a bit of thanks in her eyes.
