After finishing his work on the container, he looks up from the snaking pieces of equipment sitting between him and the Autobot across the room.

"Yes. Do you need something?"

[quantumechanic]

"I'm probably just being a hypochondriac, but could you give me a once-over? The pollen from these new flowers is getting into everything and I swear it itches from the inside."

Nautica ran her finger down her forearm, leaving a clean streak. The yellow dust wasn't doing anything to her finish, at least.

[aminerproblem]

"I can see that. It looks like you took a bath with them."

It doesn't take long for a trained eye to notice the thin coating on her armor - even from this distance. Setting the canister down, he opens a drawer to get one of the functioning scanners in stock.

"Over here."

He gestures to the unoccupied room nearby to clear up the entrance way.

"I was taking readings." Nautica brandished her wrench at him as she marched into the exam room. "It's for science."

Not because she liked flowers or anything.

"Besides, they're pretty."

Totally because she liked flowers.

Well, they were nice to look at. If they didn't have the pollen cloud, he might have gotten some to break up the gray of the medibay.

"We have a sample back in our stock if you want to take a look at it without getting dusted."

It seemed like a good thing too, if she was being affected by it. They might have to come up with some sort of anti-allergen. After Nautica situates herself, he begins to run the familiar routine of scans over her systems.

"Little too late for that," Nautica said cheerfully, and boosted herself onto the medical slab, kicking her legs where they dangled off the floor.

Then, while she had nothing to do but scrutinize Megatron while he scrutinized her, she noticed something.

"Are those medical stripes?"

[aminerproblem]

"Oh, yes."

Megatron glances from the scanner up at Nautica, who seemed to have noticed the paint change.

"Ratchet insisted I go through something of a formal graduation."
