When the repairs were finished, Chiro smiled again. "Looking a little plain paint-wise, but you're good to go, Dodge. Oh, to make sure everything is in it's place, go ahead and try transforming." Chiro took a few steps back to allow the mech some room to transform between the beds.

"I'll take care of his paint," I quipped, grinning at Dodge. "Want me to paint ya white with maroon or neon lime green with yellow?"
"White with maroon. We both know that ugly neon lime green with yellow would make me stand out like a sore thumb, and it wouldn't work well with your school colors." Dodge replied, giving me a playful look. With that being said, he stood up, stretching carefully as to not strain anything. He smoothly transformed into his alt mode, everything fitting seamlessly. "Everything seems to be fine, nothing's bothering me."

Chiro smiled and nodded as she watched Dodge transform smoothly. "Good, good." She chuckled, despite catching the fact that her chosen colors were being called "ugly". "Well, 'ugly' neon lime green and yellow makes you easier to find and identify on the battlefield." Chiro quipped slightly sarcastically, though still smiling.
She then turned to JML. "I'll leave you to paint him, JML. There are paints in the storage room in the back." Chiro indicated the door on the far side of the room.
"On to the next patient. Gunny, do you want to come with or stay here and help with the paint job?" Chiro asked as she put the tools away.

Dodge had noticed the slight tone to Chiro's voice, and realized that he had called her chosen colors "ugly". Frowning to himself slightly, he made a mental note to not make the same mistake twice.
"That's true. Bright colors makes it easier to find and identify others on the battlefield." Dropping his slight frown, he smiled warmly at the medic.
"Sure. Oh, and I still want to talk to you about something, but not in here though." Gunstorm replied as she helped clean up.
I ran off towards the door Chiro had said was the storage room for the paints I needed, and didn't hear what Gunstorm had said.

Chiro thought for a moment as Gunny seemed to want a private conversation. Almost all the wards were occupied. "Alright, follow me." Chiro led the way to the Isolation Ward.

Gunstorm walked out of the room, following Chiro to the Isolation Ward.
"Ack! Boy, today's one of those days I wish I was a Cybertronian..." I grumped as I looked around the storage closet for a ladder. Heavy thuds at the door announced the arrival of someone. I turned around, and saw an enormous horse standing in the doorway. "Need a little help?" the horse offered. "Sure. I can't reach the bright white paint that's way up there, and I think I see the maroon paint next to it," I replied, pointing to the paints on the shelf above me. The horse nodded, transformed, his body rising up and shifting parts around until a mech stood in its place. He reached up on the shelf and retrieved the correct paints, checking the label to make sure. Just to the left of the paints was a container with human-sized painting supplies in it. He grabbed the container as well. "Alright, let's get these paints over to your friend," he smiled at me softly. I followed the sorrel mech out of the room and clambered up Dodge's stabilizing servo. "Hey! That tickles, and you know it!" Dodge exclaimed as I climbed up. "Sorry, not sorry!" I sang playfully. Hauling myself up the last foot, I looked at the other mech. "What's your name? I'm JML Ranch." "Robustspeed, but I prefer Bo." Bo replied. We settled into a easy conversation, talking as I worked on repainting Dodge's armor. I was about to paint the last piece of armor, when I heard two voices start to argue behind me. The argument was over something very silly, and I had no idea what it was.
The argument got worse, and I saw Dodge start to shake. He had a look of utter distress in his optics, and I knew.
"Bo, go get Gunny. He's having one of his breakdowns, and I don't know if I can get him through this one myself," I told Bo, looking at him with an urgent expression. Bo nodded and trotted out of the room.

Gunstorm came into the room, and saw a shaking Dodge. It was clear that there had been an argument in front of him, and judging by the severity of his shaking, it was going to take some time to calm the poor mech down.
"It's okay, no one is going to yell at you..." She murmured as she sat down next to Dodge, letting him lean into her. Putting her servos around him, she murmured calming words into his audials. She heard faint whimpering, a sure sign he was quietly crying. All she could do was sit, talking to him to try to calm him down.
"How long has it been?" she quietly asked me.
"Two years," I replied. "I've never seen him break down this bad before. Normally, he starts begging and pleading. He didn't even do that - he just started shaking real bad."

Before Chiro got to the NE Ward, she glanced into the surgical ward and did a double take. Jazz was not there. She now understood why Ratchet would disable Jazz to keep him from leaving. And from what she knew of stubborn Autobots like Jazz, he was going back to the battle field for more.
"Gunny, I have a missing patient I need to find." Chiro calmly said, despite her normal reaction to something like this, to avoid setting off Dodge more. "Take care of Dodge and I'll be back soon.
Chiro made sure she had her medkit before running out of the medbay and to the Command Center.

Aerojet was now inside the Non-Emergency Ward.
Upon entering, he saw Chiro and Gunstorm, along with a cybertronian horse, a female human and a mech who he didn't know. Although he was curious who they were and why there's a human in a Cybertronian Autobot base, he stayed quiet, knowing better than to disrupt the work of medical personnel.
As Chiro went to find her missing patient, whom he had no idea who's that. He silently waved goodbye to the doctor.
Seeing that the mech was having some sort of breakdown, he wanted to help. He tried to recall what his mum said about this kind of situation, and decided he wouldn't interfere unless the situation became worse. For this kind of breakdown, having a familiar and friendly mech to support the patient is better. Besides, he was afraid that he might remembered the technique wrong, and worsen the situation.

Finally, after a while, Dodge's shaking stilled.
"Better?" Gunstorm asked her friend.
"Yea. Thank you, Gunny." Dodge nodded, giving her a friendly hug. "Where's Chiro?"
"She said something about going to look for a missing patient." Dodge nodded at Gunstorm's reply.
"Who are you? I'm Robustspeed, but I prefer to go by Bo." Bo asked Aerojet.

Aerojet watched as the mech calm down, relieved that the bot was feeling better. Then suddenly, the question Robustspeed gave almost startled him. He wasn't expecting to join the conversation.
"I'm Aerojet," Aerojet managed to say without stammering. Perhaps meeting that many new people in this short period of time helped his feeling of awkwardness when seeing new people. "It's nice to meet you."
Then he didn't know what to say... He wasn't being unfriendly, just that he always have difficulties when conversing with new bots.

"It's nice to meet you as well." Bo smiled at Aerojet.
"Hi! I'm JML Ranch," I piped up. I could tell that Aerojet seemed curious about me.

"Hello," Aerojet replied, and smiled a bit.
"So... you are a human?", feeling a bit foolish after he realised that he was pointing out the obvious. But anyway, he continued, "Why are you in the Autobot base? I thought humans are not allowed in the base and the presence of Cybertronians are kept secret to all humans?"

"Yup," I replied. "Dodge here got himself into a heated match with a 'Con, and needed to come to the Med Bay for repairs. He's actually my Guardian, so I'm allowed to go with him."

"Okay..." Aerojet was not sure what's a guardian, but he didn't know many things due to his previous isolation with Autobot activities. All he knew was this human shares a friendly relationship with the mech called Dodge. And for him, that's enough.
He now knew the name of the new mech from JML, but he thought he wouldn't say anything to him unless he started the conversation first. He thought that the bot needed time to stablize himself and it wouldn't be good if a stranger suddenly talk to him, as that might startled him. It wouldn't be a wise action.

"Hmm... What's he doing?" I asked, pointing to the little mech sitting on the floor.

Wait, wait, wait... allowed to paint on small pieces of scrap that they hung on the wall? What kind of scrap was that!? You can't make big paintings with that! He vented and took his own little paintbrush and his personal paint canister and began painting the floor and the nearby wall in bright colors. It looked pretty and he completely ignored the scrapmetal that had been offered to him.

Gunstorm, Dodge, Bo and I all looked at each other. "Slag".
The little mech had painted half the floor and the entire wall in various colors, creating a colorful mess. Chiro was going to be so mad...

Aerojet was a bit nervous about what Scaag was doing, and tentatively said, "Ummm... Scaag, perhaps you should not paint on the walls?"
If he continued painting, Aerojet really hoped Chiro wouldn't be mad at the status of the medbay. From his past experience, good doctors have a tendency of getting mad when someone else get their place in a mess.
He tried to reason with the little guy, and said, "It's best to keep the medbay clean, so the medics can treat the patients in a hygienic environment. Besides," he stopped a bit, and spoke with emphasis, "Even if you painted an extremely beautiful picture, the medics are going to wipe them."

It would be rude if she did. Besides, patients feel better if they look at something pretty. So I'm helping.
He said cheerfully as he continued painting. Now the northern wall and the floor completely covered in paint, and the pedes of those who stood on the floor. He began with the eastern wall now, the theme was red on that side.
