//It was Guzzle. //

// What? Shot in the back? //
Perceptor sounds.... more than a little concerned by this potentiality.
// What is going on, Drift? Where are you? //
Does he need to come referee, or patch you up, or something?

//Just...you don't have to kill him back or anything.//
Because Drift really can't see you doing that. Guzzle's gun is pretty damn big.
CLEARLY overcompensating. Drift should know.
//On a training mission. No big deal. But. You know. 'Training accident.'//
SO MUCH TRUST, yes?

// Kill him back? // Perceptor is getting more and more alarmed and confused at the same time.
// WHAT IS GOING ON!? Training mission? Are you in the simulation rooms? //
Better answer quick, Drift, because Perceptor is about to go off on the open broadband if he doesn't get acceptable answers.

//No. No. You don't have to kill him back.//
Are you even listening?
//No. Some freaky aft ship or something.//
There was probably a briefing, but, meh, briefings are for chumps. Playing with swords: Much more important.

Clearly, Perceptor has allowed his latest project to distract him too much. He rifles through the logs of the most recent radio traffic, and stifles a curse.
Drift probably hears it anyway, and it's a very un-nerdy curse. There's also some muttering about dire consequences if "he" so much as "lays a finger" on.... but it trails off there.
// Understood. Keep me appraised. //
Because Perceptor wants to know which bot to smack if anything happens. Because he totally will. With prejudice.

Well, that's some unexpected saltiness. Drift stares at the comm transmitter for a klik, stunned. Then again, Perceptor had said something about having begun his functioning as something much, much different.
As he thought. A set up.
//I will. And....// WOW this is a totally new word for Drift. Let's see if he can nail it on the first try. //Thanks. Means a lot.//
Whoa, overkill there, Drift.

Actually, Perceptor learned that one from Kup. Or was it Sunstreaker? It might even have been Sparkplug, come to think of it. It's a recent addition to his vocabulary, relatively speaking, but Pz-Zazz has... awoken some forgotten verbage in the normally mild-mannered nerdscientist.
// You're welcome. // Politeness would dictate a response, even if he hadn't been pleasantly surprised by the courtesy. It isn't something that he imagines that Drift says often, and he will accord it with all the gravity that entails. Just, hopefully without drawing too much attention to that fact. Because that would just shut that communication down, and they're making progress.
// Be careful. Come back alive. // He knows better than to ask for Drift to not get hurt. Just... don't get hurt so much that Perceptor can't put you back together again.
Please.
