Breakaway turns away from Swerve. Seeing a bot rigged up to all that equipment makes him a bit uncomfortable, and it seems like Swerve doesn't like people looking at him. He just looks up at the ceiling instead. Maybe he'll try and get some sleep and let his repair systems work.

Emirate Xaaron chuckles and paces over to get that cube, calling, "And how do you take your energon, Long Haul?"

Doubleshifts? With these three? For a month? Oh, Emirate, you disappoint. But Skid-Z is not about to tell you this.
“Sir” Skid-Z replies, meeting Rattrap’s gaze calmly, “I was doing my military duty, if I did anything else I do believe that I would now be charged for desertion and dereliction of duty…”
He taps his lip, thinking, “But you have a special punishment waiting just for me, don’t you? I wouldn't be surprised."
----- Still skippable, and Yes! Skid-Z totally wants to build a thread! All others cordially invited, of course!

Firebolt looks around and then settles in, looking sleepy. "I'm going to just rest if you need me, OK?" She says, and then tucks one of her hands behind her head and shutters her optics. ooc: Skippable now

Rattrap waits until Xaaron's close enough to Skid-Z that he doesn't have to shout.
"Funny." His scathing look says it's anything but. "Didn't realise yer military duty included getting caught up in crap like this. Or escalatin' it." He doesn't go into the notion of punishment at this point.
OOC: Yeah, skippable. In fact, just consider Rattrap skippable until I say otherwise or he and Skid-Z get consistent with rotation, whether he talks or not. Easier on everybody.

Swerve tenses, ready to come up swinging, when Long Haul moves to work on him. It's an old reflex, one that he knows somewhere in his scorched processors isn't needed. One his body can't obey. He tenses and little more, cold robbing him of enough anger to leave him feeling exhausted more than alarmed or outraged.
The worry's still there, all the same.
They'll figure it out. He's sure of that. They'll figure it out and then they'll know. Long Haul will sure as smelt notice. Xaaron isn't stupid. Even if Long Haul doesn't tell him…. The idea that more of them will know how easy it is to just tick him off and do him in by overheating his processors is worse than his injuries. He should know better, but the habits are far older than his status as an Autobot. Older and knitted deeply into his frame.

They've already figured out just how easy you are to tick off, Swerve. Maybe not that it's dangerous to you, but everybody's figured out how easy Swerve is to tick off.
Long Haul shrugs. "Depends on who's mixing it." Long Haul used to work with Mixmaster, after all. "Don't need to be particularly strong; I'm pretty efficient. Deep tanks, just efficient."
Long Haul grunts. "Will y'quit being so tense? It's makin' these repairs a pain!"
OOC: Looks to me like we're getting to a good 'fade out into repairs' point? So

Breakaway shutters his optics and folds his hands beneath his nosecone, trying to get comfortable. He's got nothing more to say.
OOC: I'm good with a fade.

Emirate Xaaron, resistance leader, politician, scientist and bar wench, gets Long Haul a perfectly normal mug of energon then.
OOC: Yeah, fade is good - Rattrap can question Skid-Z later.

Swerve would relax if he could force himself; his motor systems are anything but cooperative right now.
"G… gimme a slaggin' minute," he grumbles at Long Haul without looking at him. It takes a few seconds before tensor cables start to go slack and he can't quite mask the uneasy shivers that mark the transition. It's been a very long time since he couldn't do his own repairs and trusting someone else with them isn't the same as trusting someone else to have his back in a fight. It's much, much harder.
OOC: Sure.

And yet, it's being done now. And done well.
Truth be told, it really rankles on Long Haul that he's not allowed to finish the job, but he keeps that to himself. He pauses to give Swerve enough time to relax, then shrugs and gets back to repairs.
OOC: Aaaaaand done!
