[With everything that's been happening and the continuously escalating threats, the Autobots are moving about as best as they could to assist. However while most Autobots are out of Sakihama, a few have moved over to Alhambra for the day... the reason?]

Okay! Energon Pump is installed, and the recalibration for the power feed should be alright...
[Wheeljack has decided to.... experiment. Specifically in the testing of adapting Energon for usage in Earth Based Machines to amplify their combat capability. Admittedly only a small amount was used for the test but it was regarded as enough. A trio of modified mooks (Genoace, Bushnell and a Destroid Tomahawk stand proudly for usage - admittedly with far more cabling across their bodies than they should normally have.]
... Ratchet, is all that really necessary?

Yes. Yes it is Wheeljack. We all know how your experiments go, better safe than sorry - especially since we have humans getting involved.
[Ratchet is standing close by with an emergency team on standby, looking nonplussed. Wheeljack looked rather sheepish despite a lack of visible facial expression.]

You never know though, this might be the next big breakthrough!
[Wheeljack sounded pretty pumped for the test runs.]
I even got Rewind over here to record everything for posterity.

[The Cassette-bot waved at Ratchet and let out a burst of odd, distinctly mechanical noise... was that their language? Either way, Ratchet sighs.]

Lets just get this over with. Pilot, you may go when ready.

Yeah, thanks for the consideration there Ratchet but next time a little less graphic would be nice while I'm standing here. I've seen some pretty graphic stuff in the conditioning for anti-BETA operations so I can pretty much imagine that and it's not the prettiest picture.

[Yuuya, Ratchet just makes a tremendously stern face. Like the strict disciplinarian teacher who simultaneously bit into a lemon while hearing a misbehaving student make an off color remark. His tone was as level as can be but the bite in it was unmistakeable.]
Graphic is when you have to explain to a patient that their own systems are corroding into a liquid mess and slowly seeping out of their bodies when they can 'taste' their processors in the back of their mouths as their chassis starts to follow after.
Trust me when I say this Lieutenant. What I said was perhaps the most mercifully to the point description I have ever made without having to go into too many details.
