Nightbeat nods. "Thanks, First Aid. Sorry to make such a mess in here," he adds, and is surprised to find he means it. He doesn't have a lot of values, compared to the average Autobot, but even he can appreciate medics, especially one with the courage to stick to his guns like First Aid.
And with that, he's out, already adding the information he's gained to what he has already, putting pieces together.

First Aid would say, ‘No harm done,’ but he’s not sure yet if that’s true, so he doesn’t. “Thank you,” he says instead, despite it not being exactly what he means, and waits just long enough to be sure Nightbeat’s off before he heads for the morgue.
“Slingshot?” he says, leaning in before stepping through the doorway.

Slingshot leans against the wall near Optimus Prime's body, arms folded across his chest. He's glaring rather intently at the wall opposite. If he had heat-beam eye-blasts, there would be holes in the hole.
He jerks a bit at First Aid's call, head swinging around to look at the medic. "Yeah?"

“Nightbeat’s left. How’re you doing?”

"Great. Just... Great." Slingshot's tone is bitter, and he glances down at the piecemeal structure of Optimus Prime's body.

First Aid leans against the door frame, watching Slingshot steadily. He’s immensely conscious of the fact that he never followed through on his half formed intention to find shrouds for the morgue. He has to work very hard to not squirm.
“I’m glad you’re well,” he says evenly, and stays where he is.

"Yeah." He slumps to the side he's leaning against the wall with. "Yeah. What'd the frag I do to end up here?"

“It should be pretty hard to pick a fight with the multiverse,” First Aid says, “But we all seem to have done it.”

"Yeah..." Slingshot glances down at the Optimus body again. "What'd they pull you out of?"

“Nothing very interesting,” First Aid says, “I’d had a busy morning with a patient – her father wasn’t happy about a procedure that had been my idea, and my teammates were all bristling over it, so I thought I’d leave them to it. Went on a drive.” He straightens up away from the wall with an embarrassed little laugh.

"Father? You were working on humans?"
Slingshot had yet to meet the Arabic prince that he liked quite a lot before he got ganked to this place. So he's still rather 'humans? bleh'.

“It's what we were built for – my team and I. We all work with human civil services, and I'm the doctor, so! I’m perfectly qualified." Yes, First Aid is misreading that comment somewhat.

Slingshot Does Not Get It. You can see it in the expression his face is set in - that baffled, what-the-hell look is very distinctive.
"Your team? Whose your team? And who built you guys?"

…Yes, it’s impossible to mistake that now. All right. “My team is the Protectobots – there’s five of us, we’re a gestalt. Optimus Prime had us built, Ratchet and Wheeljack did most of the work.”

A look of amazed hope spreads over Slingshot briefly, and he steps towards the medic. "You're- gestalt? You know what it's like?"
