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.

That's why I said to only come in if it was an actual emergency! This is a medical clinic, not... [This is so awkward.] ...not anything else.

No need to yell. This Unit went before you made this announcement.

Do you have any plans if any of the humans here seek medical aid for this?

[asafepairofhands]

If they're actually experiencing a medical emergency I'll treat them as best I can. If they show up because they can't find somebody to swap paint with or whatever, I'm going to turn the hose on them, same as everybody else.

[Her reply comes after a few minutes because, well.

Not pollen related issues but the mention of a hose.]

The medical building has a hose?
