MamaBee's Verse: Nellis AF Base: Foolhardy Femmes ((Happens after Nova Thread))

Arcee's engines roared as she shot into the air, going straight up and crying out gleefully as she landed roughly, spinning out and laughing maniacally as she spun in circles. //Seriously, you can't hope to beat that airtime, Bee,// she crowed, slowing for a moment before wobbling and flopping over.

Up by the base Forge watched them, blinking and arching an eyebrow and shaking his head as the two roared around the desert, acting like fresh recruits and the tomboys they still were at heart.

The twins went quiet, but at the medic's nod Forge's shoulders drooped and he let out a sigh of relief.

"Can I see 'em?" he asked, voice gruff with exhaustion.

"You can see Arcee. But you'll have to relay what you see to Startracker and Sunhunter. I don't want too many people tromping around in there till she's awake and alert."

"Awww," the boys pouted, but Starforge shook his head and went in past Ratchet. Inside he located Arcee quickly, finding her patched and whole once more, lying on a table and sound asleep. He pushed back a glitch in his throat, moving forward and putting his large hand over her slender fingers, then leaned down and kissed her forehead gingerly.

"She's going to be fine," says Dev softly from where she's standing near a side table. The white and black femme glances down at the life support unit in her hands then and turns away so that Starforge can't see her expression drop to frightened worry.

"Here." Ratchet gently takes it from her. "I'll get her into the bigger unit. You check on Columbia and have a break."

"What's that? Is that..." Starforge stopped, inner alarms going off slightly, and he leaned over to look, spark starting to ache again. "Is... is it alright?"

"She." Ratchet's voice is gruff with static. "And... I don't know."

The new spark looks like only a formless shimmer of barely visible light laying on the bottom of the life support unit. There is no movement; none of the usual sparkle.

"She..." Forge's vocalizer seized again and his hand tightened around Arcee's. "But... we... we didn't even know. 'Cee woulda never been drivin' like that if we'd known...."

"She hasn't coalesced yet, and shouldn't be separate from Arcee's spark at this point in her formation." Ratchet puts his hand over the clear top of the spark pot. "The crash probably knocked her loose."

"Can't y' put her back?" Forge's optics went huge. "Or... or give her a replacement support, or somethin'?"
