Kup's expression is strained when Rodimus's leg gives away. He observes, voice a low, tight growl, "It's more virulent than the Cosmic Rust back home, as far as I read in the reports. Corrostop seems to be holding up for now, though."
He'll comply with whatever Botanica needs to do to get the scrapings off him - good thing Kup keeps up with all his robot vaccines, huh? The life Kup leads, Kup sure needs them... hey, he's a space-traveling security expert. Ahem.
Kup gives a quick looks around and back, to make sure there aren't any Decepticon punks trying to creep in after them and to make sure everyone what needs to be quarantined is. Then he teases, "Aw, lad, I know your looks are the only thing you got goin' for you, but don't you worry. You'll be all pretty again when Botanica's done with you."
Kup's still going to murder Oil Slick anyway.

"Damn, Rodimus, you are not allowed to go to pieces on me!" Botanica chides as the Prime's leg snaps. Yes, she's making a pun. Yes, it's horribly inappropriate. However, it's better than fretting.
She gets Rodimus settled in the cell, on a molded plastic table. After all, sometimes you want a surface that doesn't react to certain things. Like rust. She starts running diagnostics and employing some agents that will hopefully slow the virus down a bit.
"Kup, into the decon chamber. Now. Once you're out, I'll get a Corrostop sample from you. You do not come back in here until I do so."
She tries to gently place a hand on Rodimus's chest. "You'll be all right Rodimus. Everything will."

Rodimus makes an electronic, static noise that might have been intended as a snort of amusement. //Old man, if look<kzzt> are all I've g-got going for me, I'd ssssay there's someth<kzt>ing wrong with the guy who trained me!//
As he's being settled into the plastic table, he looks at Botanica, and again, the corner of his lip pulls up in something that's trying to be a smirk, but fails miserably. //It'<zzrt>s a good thhhing you didn't g-give me permisssssion. I'll st<kzt>op now,// he gets out. The transmission is getting weaker, however, as though the radio isn't getting enough power.
When Botanica places her hand on his chest, he just nods faintly, then glances at Kup, though he knows the veteran was just ordered to leave.

Kup growls and glares at Botanica when she has the temerity to order him around, to order him away from Rodimus Prime's side at a time like this. He starts to say, "Like slag will I go!"
But then he thinks about what's happening to Rodimus happening to just about anyone else on board. Maybe Kup'd be okay with Mayday coming down with some Cosmic Rust, it would serve that coward right, but the other Autobots and Maximals...
Kup grunts, "Fine. I'll decon, but you bet your bytes that I'll be back - and kid, I can only work with what you got."
He winks, and he trudges off to get any remaining particles of evil green mist off him.

The weakening of Rodimus's radio transmission prompts Botanica to make a decision.
"Rodimus, I'm going to place you in a CR chamber. I... recently completed the build of one. It will effectively place you in stasis and attempt to heal you. I do not think it will be fully successful. But it will buy us some time."
She is not going to lose another Prime, not to something as simple as rust.
OOC: Placing Rodimus in CR chamber as well as off-screen creation of said ok'd by other admin. We will pick up with curing Rodimus during the Space segment to allow for all who wish to be involved to be present. Thread is basically done at this point.
