Day three, early evening, variation thread, open but make sense.
Why would everyone have made it out automatically? Skid-Z for instance, didn't; he got forcibly distracted enough to miss any pick-up. But bot's not going to complain about it, certainly not now he finally starts to see signs of home all around him. Having to tone down to 50 Km/h to spare the systems tends to make a trip... lengthy.
A droplet of ooze drips from the gash through his upper, but the main fuelline had long since closed that area off. Not leaking any fuel, not losing any power. Emergency level: fairly low.
Aaaargh he's just taking so long over this! A growl escapes at the memory of finding out that Sky-Byte tore straight through his comlink system. And his radio.... Not only a long, but also a silent trip.
Then finally the car locates an entry point, and steers himself underground, transforming to continue on foot. Skid-Z hopes he's not going to get an earfull as starters. Not because he wouldn't be expecting getting his frame scolded for something he technically couldn't help, but because he's so darned tired right now.
Heading straight to medical.

It’s true what they say; familiar environments benefit the healing process.
And for once, with the help of his own bright headlights, the tunnels are actually stress-relieving. Skid-Z’s calm strides echo, and fall silent as he does in front of the medbay door.
He has manners, thus presses the call button. Then flops against the wall, yawning audibly.

Pee-Dee sits up curiously as the Medical door swooshes open. She's still working on herself, replacing joints and chattering at whoever else may be in there.
"Hello?"

Pee-Dee is probably not the only patient here, though she may well be the only conscious one. Not long after Skid-Z arrives, Long Haul steps through the recently installed tunnel door - he finally got sick of medical being open to everyone and everything - and looks around the room.
After a moment, something dawns on him. His optic band flickers in his equivalent to a blink. He looks at Skid-Z and points.
"Hey! You weren't in here when I left the room!" he declares.

"Hello Pee-Dee" Skid-Z greets. Not entirely sure if he may step in, but intrigued by her doing repairs, he walks over, staying a bit distanced because, well, he's dirty, and she has her circuitry open.
"Self-service?" Scratching a helmet crease, he looks around the room concerned, see! He's late....
"Do you know if there's a ..." "Hey! You weren't in here when I left the room!" Woah! The racer gives Long Haul a bewildered look, jumping back. '... medic or recharge option around....?', his thoughts finish.
His vocalizer speaks otherwise. "I just got here...! I'm... sorry?!"

"Self-service, pay at the pump," Pee-Dee chirps. "Hi, Long Haul! Look what the cat dragged in."

"Well, why're you so late?" Long Haul demands of Skid-Z. He trudges towards the back of the room, pulls out a hastily put together solvent shower unit, and gestures. "Can you clean up on your own, or you gonna collapse first?"
He looks at Pee-Dee. "Self-se- naw! Only if you're a Junkion, 'cos they seem to know themselves best. All dense and squiggly inside. You, though," he points at Skid-Z. "You I can fix."

Collapse first? Long Haul be carefull what you wish for cause he really just might, do, that..... Skid-Z actually drags a chair along before grasping the shower unit! He makes his statement by flopping down having his hydraulics give out.
"You need my schematics and scan source, right?" He asks, pulling a datapad from a very deep and secure location in subspace. He hands it over before examining on how to work the spray.
"Den- ..... o-organic dense and squiggly?"
Long Haul's earlier inquiry catches his attention, and he hisses hurtfully, "..... " "50 on the freeway" he eventually admits, "and.... a broken radio."

"Organic? Who're you calling organic?" Pee-Dee demands. "Why I oughta..."

"What?!" Long Haul exclaims as SkidZ asks 'organic dense and squiggly. "No! It-" and then before Long Haul can finish, Pee-Dee starts shouting about organics.
"I didn't say anyone was organic dense and squiggly! Well, I mean, maybe Botanica is, but she's not here and I ain't talking about her. I'm just saying... it's... well, diff'rent, that's all."
He sees that SkidZ is clean - and that SkidZ has collapse. He snorts, picks up SkidZ - he's not gentle, but he's not so rough as to do further damage - and carries the racer over to a medical berth, which he drops him on.
"Arright. I'll get you fixed up here, just a bit. Just give me some time, hmm?"

Hey, what else could be dense and squiggly?
Anyhow, Long Haul cuts the matter short. And will find no other protest than an almost successfully held-back gasp as the drop on the berth moves components near the gash.
"Right... take all the time you need.... I'm not going quite anywhere with this....." A look over the damaged area, and Skid-Z's face quickly sullens. "I'm sorry" he mutters.

"I didn't say you said I was organic," Pee-Dee grumbles at Long Haul, then curls up on her medical slab and offlines her optics.

Skippable.

There's different kinds of dense and squiggly!
Long Haul gets to work, working roughly but efficiently. He doesn't always think to turn off pain sensors ahead of time, and only gets to those if he sees a pain reaction in his patient. As he works, though, he can't help a confused tilt to his head.
"Sorry? Whaddaya sorry about? You ain't got nothing to be sorry about."
Really. Some folks make no sense at all.

Ocassionally Skid-Z will yelp, and at one point even raise an arm instinctively which Long Haul is free to interpret as a would-be swat at his hands. He does fall in the 'sensitive' category.
"....sorry... just because I feel like it" No Skid-Z, that's not true, "....or maybe because I expected to be of more use, instead of plowing through sand. And the hostiles were, well, my world's pretty plain and straightforward in comparison to what I saw. Add that I step in late without even a notification, I owe you an apology for the work I'm causing" And as he's probably the only autobot who doesn't see his altmode to be his, he's lucky the owner is dead enough not to sue.
He looks at Long Haul questioning, "I can go back to active as soon as you're done, right? Or, after that rest" ... which he was supposed to be taking two days ago.

"That ain't no reason to be sorry," Long Haul mutters as he finishes off work. "Most folks got banged up. Is what happens in battle."
Then he looks up and shakes his head. "You're not on active. Complete rest for at least a day, light-limited for another two days after that. Also, we're low on paint. Trying to get some scrounged up, but until then, you'll have to run around with unpainted bits. Can't do much to help that."
