[And so it'd go. Wheeljack would keep The Spine talking, sometimes just to distract the little bot, and sometimes to get information from him for what needed to be done next or how best to do it, or just to let him know /what/ he was doing - The Spine would never wonder or be caught unawares. The engineer's as gentle as he can be while still getting the work done efficiently, sometimes removing whole sections of systems to work on more easily before connecting them back into place. Parts of The Spine's shoulder needed to be rebuilt before reattaching his arm, and Wheeljack does the work as quickly as he can. The engineer knew that, if it were him, he'd want to be whole again sooner than later.]
