Hello? Yeah, all right, it looks like this thing is on.
[The vid flickers on and Ratchet's face fills it, somehow more exasperated and peeved than usual.]
Look, public service health announcement, stay away from the damn stupid flowers that are popping up everywhere. They're releasing a pollen that's hyperconductive that causes an allergic reaction in both organics and inorganics. Nobody's going to drop dead, unless you're set on being a medical miracle and being the first to die of overcharge, but if you're affected, for goodness' sake, be careful until it wears itself out. If you don't release the pent-up charge or whatever periodically it's possible you'll overheat.
If you absolutely need medical assistance, I'm going to be at the first medibay trying to figure out more precisely what the fresh smelting hell is going on.
Ratchet out.

private and with a STERN BUSINESS FACE
The symptoms I've had are mild so far, so I can still work if you need me. Not sure if this can be transmitted from bot to bot, though.
private it is!
Mine are... not mild. [His voice is bone dry.] I don't think it's contagious in the traditional sense--more like we become vectors for the spores to travel between individuals. Amounts to the same thing, though.
no subject
If you need any help alleviating the symptoms... I mean, if we can't find any treatment for it and it's not a breach of ethics.
no subject
How extremely charitable of you. [There's just the mildest bite of sarcasm in his voice, mostly self-deprecating.] Consent is an issue with this stuff going around, and it's a good thing to keep in mind. If you want to come by to review the data I've collected and help study how this sort of thing spreads, be my guest.
