*Waspinator has been in his garden, tidying up, pruning back a few plants, and gathering up the fallen pieces of target practice drones*

*walks up to Waspinator, carrying the still-offline Quint in her hands like a human would hold a small wounded animal* Hello. Forgive me for interrupting your work - I need to ask you for something. *crouches down and holds Quint so that Waspy can see them, looks awkward/distraught* As you can see, the little guy needs be reactivated, and since you already helped with it once and have smaller hands than I... he could probably use some repairs, too.

*blinks* Ooo... Waspinator remembers little green bot. *considers* Could try using CR. Made scans before, but would have to be sure to tell CR not to be stupid and reinstall tracking device. Waspinator can do that.

*carefully picks up Quint, looks at him* Femme-bot is sure that little Green-bot is in stasis lock? *starts to head into the cave to the CR*

((as a note, I'm thinking easiest to play the reason why they didn't use the CR last time with the tracking device as some sort of temporary malfunction with it at the time.))

[lavender_wings]

I hope he is. *she doesn't add, '...as opposed to dead,' but her anxious look implies as much*

*puts Quint into the CR, then brings up it's functions on the computer, cancelling standard repair sequence in favor of a checklist-oriented screen. The list shows all the current 'damage' noted in Quint's systems and Waspinator goes down the list carefully.*

*Some of the items he checks because they were injuries Quint had at the time of the scan that he doesn't have now. He also makes sure to check the item listing a 'missing componant' which is the removed tracking device. He then instructs the CR that those items are not damage and to recompile the data to update*

Dactyl-bot is out flying again. *said to Steadfast as he restarts the CR's repair sequence* Does not like being in caves often.

*glances towards the CR* CR should reactivate little Green-bot after repairs are done.

*thinks* Maybe you could trade for things? If you can manufacture parts and all...

[waspinator]

*thinks about this* Waspinator is not sure who could trade with. Is lot of Maximals in Nexus, and Waspinator is not going to trade with them. *makes a bit of a face at the thought*

Suppose Waspinator could ask...

[lavender_wings]

Yeah. Wouldn't want to have dealings with Maximals, either. I may have talked to the mopey fish, but I don't trust him.

*twitches slightly as systems reboot, then almost panics when he realises he's immersed in unfamiliar liquid. He sits up quickly, coughing a bit. Although the nanite-suspension had already left his secondary cooling system before he rebooted he was left with a vague and unfamiliar 'half drowned' feeling*

Uhn... *he rubs at his face* What... what happened?

*at least that whatever the liquid is, it doesn't seem to be damaging him, but still gets out of it quickly*

[lavender_wings]

*considers that* But now you're free to decide what to do. If this blanking out is learned behaviour, it should be possible to unlearn it.

[pogo_boy]

*slight fidget* Part of it is learned, I guess, but the rest isn't. I guess I could try though, if I knew how...

[lavender_wings]

*sighs* If I knew how, believe me, I'd tell you... But if you're determined... People can grow and learn.

[pogo_boy]

*nods a bit* I'm trying... and I think I've changed a lot since I was found, in some ways. *quietly* It's scary sometimes though.

*looks down* That and there's been so many other things... I don't have time to worry about my own glitches.
