Some of you may wonder why I refer to myself as a femme and use bianary pronouns despite asserting that Cybertronians have no gender.

<p> the short answer is as follows: the Nebulans and Quintessions fucked up my Cybertron’s culture a long time ago and I gave up being technical around the same time I realized I wanted to ride @betterdoctorthanyou’s spike.

[Spit take]

I need an adult

Right, so, hypothetically lets say someone needs to dispose of a body. How would they go about doing that on this ship? Again, this is purely hypothetical 

Pharma nO

*Eh-HEM*

Your collection! I’d almost forgotten! 

Velocity’s Morgue & Museum is always welcoming donations!

Friends. 

Colleges.

I require your assistance in this important time.

I require a panel of unaligned, unswayed judges of the medical profession for an assessment during a challenge between myself and Pharma. He and I are… at odds on each other’s capacity in our respective fields (in good nature, of course!) and have agreed on a challenge.

I make things go boom.

He tries to fix them.

We’re using drone frames so no bot will actually be harmed. If you’re willing, I’d like you all ta be the assessment panel. I’ll show you the damages, then you’ll determine if Pharma’s repairs are quality enough that the bot in question would live. Three votes of approval give Pharma a point. 

If he gets ten for ten, he wins.

If he gets anything else, I win.

You lot in or out?

I’m late, but I’m down. This has disaster written all over it, and I want in.

You didn’t inherit it from me! At least you bathe regularly.

I’m a professional medic, mother, I know how to properly sanitize myself and my deceased. 

That’s good, a pity your “brother” didn’t hold those same habits.

Wait, he really doesn’t bathe?

Oh, ew, so much for the cultured ‘con he presents himself as

I don’t know if he picked up on the habit after I left. *snorts* I think you would have found it hilarious how much of a sparkling he used to be about it. He wanted to wear his battle glory to spread fear.

Spread fear? More like spread rust and other disease, Primus! *pauses a moment, the rest of it sinking in. A smile spread on her face, stiffling a laugh* The most feared killers of our species, brought down by _hygiene_ *this time she did giggle*
