I don't have time for this.

Not exactly.

[Well, he sort of had to... take it away from himself but...]

I gave it up. Retired, I suppose you could say. Had more important things to do than cling to some dead title back on the ship.

It sounds like it was a very hard decision for you.

[ She can't pretend to understand everything, but she can certainly sympathize if not entirely relate. ]

Are you still a doctor, Mr. Ratchet?

Harder than it should've been.

[His own fault for being so stubborn.]

More or less, yes. I was a medic, actually... there was a war. Since it's ended there hasn't exactly been much serious use for bots like me. Not on the ship, at least. But yes, I'm still serving as a medical officer, in a sense.

[Unless you counted repairing Rodimus' broken limbs over and over 'serious'.]

This is good. Peace or war, there is always a need for those who heal. But it is probably better that you do not have as many patients now, correct?

[ Probably one of the only professions where it's better if there's less to do. ]

There is war coming here soon. I was not here for the last Crisis but...

[ She doesn't want to say she's afraid. ]

Yes, I suppose it is.

[He's not really sure what to do with himself when he isn't working, but that seems to be the case for everyone out of the war.]

I'm... very sorry to hear that.

[There's nothing one can really say in a situation such as that, but at the very least he hopes their war lasts a hell of a lot shorter than the Cybertronian war did.]

The man I mentioned earlier. 'Doomfist'. He is the source. If I can apprehend him then the Crisis may be adverted.

[ Maybe. Tensions are already high between all the many factions. There's a chance that nothing will stop the coming war. ]

You're really certain it'll be that simple?

[Very incredulous. If only their war had ended up coming down to 'just apprehend Megatron'.]

There must be more to it than that.
