concurrent with ...And Call Him George
The datascreen in the medbay...! Skyfire calls up the frequency by designation.
//Bone...crusher?// That was a singularly...violent name.//A word...? About these,// he tilts his head, staring at the screen, running a match, //...kittens?//

Bonecrusher's only response to Skyfire is wordless shrieks of rage.

Well, that wasn't right.

The screams turn into of a string of the worst curses Bonecrusher can think of in all the languages he knows.

There's a pause, while Skyfire hunts for a datapad that is clear of the kitteny infestation.
Ah. Looks simple enough. Simple enough that even Skyfire could do it.
//It appears that there is a glitch in your Universal Translation Protocol? If you could come by medbay, I could take a look at it for you.//
And then, we could discuss the digitized felids.

Oh. The glitch...es seem to have fixed themselves. But they clearly upset Bonecrusher--even Skyfire could tell the mech was in a...bad mood. But then again, having so many glitches in the vocalizer would be infinitely frustrating.
//I...uh..well perhaps you could run a defrag diagnostic, at least? That might clear your cache of cascading errors.//
He's no medic, but he's been reading and that's in the First Aid Manual. When in doubt, defrag and reboot.
He calls up the 'Barricade' designation. A fellow Decepticon.
In danger?!
//Where are they? If we move, we might be able to rescue them.// Skyfire's already grabbing his cannon mod.

//Take your defrag diagnostics and shove 'em up your--//
He goes silent for a moment in disbelief. Rescue them?!
//I'm going to kill them!//

//I...is that physically possible in your timestream?// Because in Skyfire's defrags are random code executions and sort of intangible.
//Kill them? You...do realize they're fellow Decepticons?//
Unless, maybe, 'kill' doesn't mean the same thing in Bonecrusher's timestream, either? Skyfire pauses for a moment in awe of the mysteries of the universe.

Skyfire blinked at the nearly hebephrenic stream of words. And then it struck him: Bonecrusher was...damaged. Arguing with himself, possibly hallucinating.
...and definitely violent.
This...should be reported higher. Skyfire was not good at this type of thing at all, but Bonecrusher desperately needed help.
//Bonecrusher, stay calm. You're safe. You're on our ship. No one's going to die. Or get killed. Or...devocalized. Just...can you tell me where you are, please?//

Bonecrusher is just going to return to incoherent screaming and swearing now. Too much hate. TOO. MUCH. HATE.

Oh...dear Primacron. Bonecrusher appears to be having quite an episode. Which cannot possibly be connected to Skyfire, because, well, Skyfire's only trying to help.
He rifles through the first aid manual, frantically.
//Right. Ventilate deeply, Bonecrusher. The last thing you want is to spike your core temp. Just...deep cleansing vents. And maybe think about your kittens?//
Seriously. WHO can get angry looking at kittens?!?

There's a pause in Bonecrusher's raging. Then...
//...AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRGH!//

That...does not sound like a calm and relaxed sound. At all.
Kittens were not working. Bonecrusher is in a worse plight than Skyfire had imagined.
//Bonecrusher? What would make you feel better?// He hunts through the datapad for 'combat stress'. He reads: //A walk along the beach? The soulful tunes of Barry Manilow? Needlepoint?//
These suggestions seemed...odd. But what did he know? He was a space investigator!
