if you pray to god for rain, don't you complain about the lightning

Who: Ratchet and YOU and also whoever else wants to set up threads in here
What: Ratchet's limping around on crutches, feel free to put yourself in the line of fire
Where: Red Alert's clinic
When: A little while after Drift is conscious
Warnings: YELLING? yelling probably


Well, it had been a few days and nobody had nearly died again so Ratchet starts to let himself relax a little.

Not much, mind--Drift and Nautica are still bedridden, if not critical, and there are people in and out all the time. This is completely ignoring the fact that Pharma and Tarn are wandering around out there somewhere, probably terrorizing the general populace or maiming things or doing whatever else psychotic killers do in their clearly abundant free time. Ratchet has no such luxury, and he works, maintaining the patients he already has on top of trying to handle anyone else who comes in the door. He's just not necessarily pleasant about it.

Hey, having poor empathy was normal for Val's developmental stage. She wouldn't be as bad about it if there were an injured person present, but most problems were intellectual ones to her. It was the only way she could cope with her mental abilities so far outstripping her emotional ones.

"Obviously." She didn't regard that as any kind of insult or even really an admonition, because who wanted to be a medical doctor. Not her. "But okay, fine, I'll write down everything I know about human physiology, biochemistry, and medicine, and then you'll have a reference."

Val never forgot a fact, so what she knew about the human body, while scant compared to her awe-inspiring grasp of physics or math, was still a lot.
