[Hello again, Haveners.  Have this bot on your screens once more.  He seems to be sitting in the middle of the street this time, and has a similar look on his face as the last time he was on the network.]

Ah...if I could ask assistance from anyone with....really small hands, I would greatly appreciate it.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to come to you, but I can send you my coordinates. 

.....Please hurry.

[He shivers just as the video ends.]

[Wow, that didn't sound good at all.]

Do you need help?

Re: [Video]

[greater_than_zero]

Ah yes. Yes, I do...though I'm not sure you'll be able to.

See I uh...how embarrassing...I've managed to end up with a number of small....creatures under my plating. I can't really...move, as I'd prefer they not end up...smashed in there, so I'm...hoping someone can help...extract them.

[Yeah, Bumblebee might be a relatively short bot, but at 16' he's still much bigger than a human.]

Wow, yeah, I can see your dilemma. Guess trying to get them out on your own didn't work either.

What kind of creatures?

Re: [Video]

[greater_than_zero]

Ah...no. The one I tried to get out made a rather horrible sound before just going in deeper. I think I hurt it.

And that, I don't know, a number of the four-legged things around the city...organic.

[Cats...He's infested with cats.]

[Video]

[notoptimus]

Oh, the cats? [Or at least those are the only four legged organics he's seen running around the city.

Also the idea that they can infest a bot might be creeping him out just a little now.]

That doesn't sound good, no. I hope it's not hurt too badly. But if it moved, that's usually good.

Is that what they are? Fascinating... [Zero, stop science geeking until you have the cats out of your armor!]

Primus, I hope not too. I didn't mean to hurt it!

...None of them are really moving now, I'm not sure if that's good or not...

[Video]

[notoptimus]

Yeah, they're a domesticated animal native to Earth. [Well...mostly domesticated. Hi science nerd, meet an Earth knowledge nerd, cough.] Humans often take them in and keep them in their homes as pets and companions. Though...pretty sure most of the ones here don't live with anyone, but themselves.

I'm sure you didn't.

Huh....are they making any sound at all?

Re: [Video]

[greater_than_zero]

[Juuuuuust filing away that information now, thanks!]

[He pauses to just...check that] ....A few seem to be...vibrating lightly. Scanners still show signs of...something, though I can't feel any movement.

[Those would be signs of life, Zero. Heartbeat, breathing, things.......you have no clue about. Right. Carry on.]

[Video]

[notoptimus]

[Anytime! Preferably a better time.

He tilts his head as he listens.]

Sounds like they're still alive, then. It's...possible they just got comfortable. [Prooobably not helping much.]

Got anybody heading your way yet? [He's wishing he could do more.]

Re: [Video]

[greater_than_zero]

[Thaaaaat's....okay.] Better than the alternative.

[He can't nod, but he does give a little smile.] Jetstorm and Sam are coming to help.

[Video]

[notoptimus]

Definitely. I'm sure if they were being hurt or something, they'd be moving around and making more noise.

[To get attention to the issue of course. But that gets a smile from him as well.]

I know Jetstorm, he'll do his best to help. Only wish I could do more.

Re: [Video]

[greater_than_zero]

[There’s a mild grimace.] Assuming I’ve not done something to...kill any by accident. I do hope you’re right. I don’t want to hurt any, and certainly don’t want them...smashed into my substructure.

[Don’t shiver! Don’t do it! Oh Primus, it’s hard to keep still with those thoughts going through his head.]

I’m sure between Jetstorm and Sam, I’ll be able to move soon, and all of these little creatures will be out and safe.
