More Medibay Shenanigans
Who: Megatron, Aftermath, Rodimus, Ratchet, Nautica maybe more?
Where: le Medibay
When: The week after the pissbabies punch each other
What: Post checkup bonding and other assorted things
Warnings: Descriptions of robo doctoring and medicine
Day 1: Megatron only stayed in the medibay as long as his chemical cleansing kept him from leaving. The first time, it was a few hours that Ratchet's ghastly mixture anchored him to the building. No unusual adverse reactions - well, save for the bad mood he was in at basically being instructed to sit and do nothing for an afternoon when he wanted to help.
There'd at least been a spare datapad to occupy his time. Sentinel was still unconscious, not that he'd make much of a room partner either way. Staring at the little device in his hand, he found himself beginning to write.
It's been a while.
Day 2: Follow up. It was after the first dose that he was informed he'd need to continue the same treatment for the rest of the week. Well over a million years of consuming barely-edible fuel left it's mark on his internals.
He decided to stay longer that day, even after the feeling of his innards liquidating subsided into something still irritating, but manageable. It was in his second meeting that Megatron realized he didn't have to be here only as a patient - and well, that rekindled an old hope for him for something he nearly thought impossible. Ratchet certainly seemed to care about him in some bizarre way, so he'd see how far he could go with this.
Helping the two doctors clear out more rubble and obstructive debris from deeper in the building seemed like a good place to start. A little discomfort wouldn't stop him from working.
Day 8: Finished with the regimen, Megatron found himself feeling exceedingly light and agile. It was difficult to describe. When he'd first entered, he certainly didn't feel impaired in any way - barring some of the damage from being riddled with Sentinel's plasma blasts. He would be fine if he'd just said no to Ratchet's solution and just continued without it.
But this was a different altogether, everything inside seemed to mesh and move as if it were freshly built. His transformation cog would sing rather than merely.. function. He wasn't sure how long this feeling would last - but something about it made him want to approach one of the doctors, for reasons that have been building up for the past few days.
He found himself making his way to visit the familiar room where he'd always met with Ratchet for the past week, as if expecting him to always be there.

no subject
Picking up the datapad again, he scrolls through what was written before looking back up at the displaced engineer.
"I'm curious, how did you come to decide that quantum engineering is what you wanted to do? How does the process work on Caminus?"
time to MAKE SHIT UP /cracks knuckles
YEAH MAKING SHIT UP
"But it's based on what each individual chooses, then? What they show promise in. Not what is assumed to be their talent because of how they were created."
no subject
"You can wash out of a field by not being good enough at it, of course, but it's not based on altmode or anything..." Nautica trailed off for a moment, gaze going distant as she thought through the possibilities she'd never actively considered before, "though I guess if you wanted to do something that required an aerial altmode when you only had wheels, or some other mismatch like that, you'd be out of luck. We don't have the resources to go around doing reconfigurations for non-medical reasons."
She stopped and chewed her lip for a nervous second. He was asking about construction methods, too, and his future self had been really touchy about that.... "I, um, know it's a sore subject, but...all Camiens are forged. 'How we were created' isn't a consideration."
