Omega Supreme deadpans, "Location: ground." In the sky? Not right now, although he could do that if he wasn't so hungry.
He'll let Pee-Dee explain why she wants to go medical. Perhaps it's sad, but Junkions are better explaining things than he is.

"Hnh." Pee-Dee shakes Wedge's hands firmly, showing not the slightest hesitation at the greeting ritual. You always shake someone's hand on television. Well, except when you already know them. Or hit them instead. But she is trying to be halfway polite here.
Wedge's explanation of the situation is met with a slightly quizzical tilting of her head. That's... different.
She leans in close, still holding his hand, to study his face. He didn't look like he was lying, didn't hold himself like a liar. So either he was very good, or this was the truth as he believed it.
Either option amounted to the same result until she had more information.
"Medical? Are you hurt?" Wedge's concern is evident as he looks over Pee-Dee, checking for any obvious wounds.
"No. It's the last known location of an escaped convict, and I need to investigate it. The more time we waste, the more information I lose. So don't just stand there, let's walk and talk."

Wedge would protest at anyone thinking that he looked in any way like a liar. He's telling Pee-Dee the truth and well, deception has never been one of Wedge's strong points.
A look of confusion spreads across his face at the mention of an escaped convict. Is she talking about Cannonball? He doesn't ask the question immediately. "I'll take her from here then, Omega!" he waves before transforming to get a move on at Pee-Dee's insistance. Off goes a little orange bulldozer towards the Autobase. He hopes that Pee-Dee follows.
// So, who's this convict you're looking for? Any way I can help? //

Elsewhere, Omega Supreme is getting booze. This makes him feel so much better. Wedge may notice how much perkier Omega Supreme sounds as he replies, "Acknowledged."
OOC: I'm still visible in this thread, but unless I am directly addressed, consider me out of here.

Of course Pee-Dee follows! She's got a lead to follow on the toymaker, and she's not going to give it up until it appears so stone-cold that she'll need a shovel and a flashlight to get it out of its grave.
//Her name's Screwdriver. I hear the last place she was seen is Medical. You know anything about that or about her and what she's been up to?//

// Screwdriver? Really? // Wedge surges ahead for a moment, amazement coloring his voice. // Yeah, last time I saw her was in the Medical, right after getting to know how her toys work first hand. //
Yeah, that had definitely been an interesting pile-up in Repair. He's still a little sour about being at the butt of someone else's joke.
// I think Perceptor sent her off on some sort of quest...I'm not sure. // If Pee-Dee had a video feed, she would definitely see the apologetic expression on his face. // Something about Excala-whatsits and kings? // This is probably why heading towards the Autobase is a good thing. Perceptor can probably answer these questions with quite a bit more surety and detail than Wedge can. He was too busy paying attention to the whole situation regarding Cannonball.

Oh-oh! Screwdriver's toys, useful as they might be, were bad for business when they weren't properly controlled. Well, okay, mostly they were just inexplicably dangerous, and it was Screwdriver herself who was bad for business.
//What sort of toy? Describe it and its properties. Who is Perceptor? How much of the incident do you recall?//
Rapid-fire, stern questions.

Inexplicably dangerous? Well, sure a lot of little metallic balls look innocent enough. But when Wedge finds himself somehow stuck to a counter and two other mechs, they suddenly don't seem so guileless any more.
// Oh I recall most of it. // Something like that is hard to shove out of the memory banks. // They looked like little silver orbs, you know, kind of like a magnetic sculpting toy. I have no idea how they work, didn't get much time to look at them...spent more time being attached to the mech that was attached to them instead. Yeah, they were magnetic, with way more force than I first expected from anything of that size. Touch 'em and you basically become a large magnet yourself. I think the case the balls came in had something to do with turning them off and on. My view of everything after falling over wasn't the best. //
// Perceptor's the mech in charge of Repair, I guess. Don't know too much about him, he's not from where I come from. All I know is that he's a scientist and a bit of a medic. //
The two of them are rapidly approaching the Zoo exit and entering into the city.
// So, um, what did Screwdriver do? I mean, what'd she do to become wanted? //

//That's new. Thanks for the heads-up.//
She falls silent after that, not answering Wedge's question about Screwdriver. She wants to get an idea of the local law culture here before she says anything about that.
What's it going to be worth to these Autobots that Screwdriver takes squishies apart because she doesn't know any better? Is it going to be murder? Because Junkion law defined murder pretty clearly, as well as its punishment.
If it's not murder, what is it to them? She needs to know that first, as well as how they treat what Screwdriver does.
She had to focus on the organic thing, because she knew darned well that Autobots didn't take property destruction as seriously as a Junkion did. Came from being an industrial society rather than a scavenging one, she guessed.

// It's no problem. //
If Wedge could look it, he'd look a slightly miffed bulldozer at Pee-Dee's lack of response to his other question. Okay, okay, she probably has good reasons. But...that doesn't do anything to stop Wedge from sulking inwardly a little bit.
Maybe he'll find out later, preferably, not from the grape vine.

Pee-Dee is shockingly silent as she rolls along. Well, shockingly so for a Junkion.
Things are getting laid out in the chaotically organized mess that is her mind, laid out in visuals of photographs, police reports, and newspaper clippings.
She knows what happened on Junk. She needs to know what happened here.
Before Screwdriver hurt someone.
--- Yes, please!
