( This is Rodimus. This is Rodimus doing his best not to look panicked. He is calm, he is grace, he is awesome and not at all freaking out about the fact that someone has gone missing. )
Has anyone seen Drift? He hasn't been home in days and I've looked for him. Really looked, okay, and I can't find him at all. ( He remembers what happened last time, alright. ) So uh, if you find him tell him to stop meditating or whatever spiritual thing he's doing. Seriously. Drift, if you can hear this, knock it off.
( You'd think he'd learn his lesson after leaving increasingly agitated messages on his personal comm while Drift was bleeding out before. But it's the bit before that makes him snap into a less together, more pissed expression. )
Tarn. If I find that you so much laid a hand on Drift I'm gonna burn you to a crisp.
( The fact that Rodimus is small and breakable compared to Tarn's everything is clearly not a problem. He means it, Tarn, he'll find a way. )

[Ratchet's voice is tightly controlled, almost crisp over the video feed, but there's a hollow sick look in his optics, his tanks rolling. He knows he's not exactly in much shape to mount a rescue mission, not in the condition he's in, and the idea of waiting around for someone else to bring Drift back is almost unbearable right now.]
How many days?
[video]
( He's trying not to sound as worried as he is, and mostly failing. )
Three? Maybe four.
no subject
[That isn't fair and Ratchet knows it. He controls his temper and the fear fraying it with a tremendous exertion of will, cycling his vents very slowly.]
Can you try to organize a search party? As soon as possible, perhaps, since he's already been missing several days? ...I can prep a slab in the medibay just in case.
no subject
( Rodimus can't lose him again. For a third time. He just can't. )
Yeah. Yeah I'll ask anyone who replies who can. We'll find him.
( We have to goes unsaid. )
no subject
[Suddenly, Ratchet just sounds extremely tired, his optics flickering as he looks away, his jaw tightening slowly.]
We will. He can't have gone far. I have a patient here that needs close monitoring, but it's not like I'll be much use in a search anyway. I'll spread the word around the clinic, see if Megatron can go looking. The Decepticons are more likely to tell him if they've seen Drift than anybody.
no subject
Thanks, Ratchet. That'll-- hopefully someone'll have caught a glimpse of him or something.
[video]
'Course, that wasn't here, he was on Earth.
[This probably isn't helping Rodimus any but so many people know guys he knows.]
...why you looking for that hardtailpipe anyway?
[video]
( SQUINTS DOES HE KNOW.. YOU... )
.
Uh, 'hardtailpipe'? I'm looking for him because he's missing.
[video]
[Man he barely knows anyone.]
I don't know about you, but maybe losing him's a good idea.
[video]
Re: [video]
[He's still baffled on Drift having friends.]
[video]
( Sorry Grimlock. )
[video]
--wait, who's Tarn?
[video]
Big? Purple? Wears the Decepticon symbol as his face and then has the nerve to go and act like other people are uglier than he is?
How do you not know who Tarn is? DJD? Anything?
[video]
I unno! I was in stasis for like...a long time.
video; i'm sorry
[Sideswipe what the fuck.]
Have you tried saying a bunch of lame stuff about how boring honor and swords are? I'm pretty sure he'd come back just to yell at you.
HOW DARE
Okay, first - if you're not gonna help, get out. And second, he's never yelled at me, I doubt he's gonna start now.
( Well. Maybe. )
8D
Maybe that's why he left. You didn't let him get in his quota of "Dishonoorrrr".
[You're not helping, Sideswipe.]
no subject
( Oh god is something wrong with Sideswipe's Drift? Probably. )
Okay all of this? Is making me think that my Drift is better. And if you find him, you'll see.
no subject
Psh, he probably just wandered off to get away from loud, annoying bots with "rod" in their names.
no subject
( okay they've made out a lot. )
It's not the sort of thing he talks about. Maybe meditating and auras and how to get your natural self back into balance or something. Doesn't yours do that?
no subject
[What is making out.]
Maybe he just doesn't do it around you. But sure, fine, he'll yak about meditating or whatever when he thinks Bee is doing something stupid.
Which is like, all the time. The jerk.
no subject
Your Drift sounds awful. And Bumblebee and Drift never really got along, on account of Bee thinking that we shouldn't really trust an ex-con.
( YEAH AND LOOK AT MEGATRON, BUMBLEBEE. WHY'D YOU GO AND DO THIS. )
no subject
[BRO DON'T YOU SAY NOTHING BAD ABOUT GRIMLOCK THAT'S HIS BFF AROUND HERE.]
[... never mind he's missing the main point. Completely.]
no subject
Yeah, I know? Didn't I just say that about Drift?
