[riptide is pale. very pale. his optics are wide and the usual deep yellow glow of them is so intense it's almost white.

his grin is uneasy and forced.]

Hi! Just a quick note - who deals with the Ingress junk mail? Can I ask you not to leave body-- [he stops, inhales.] --just be more careful where you leave stuff, yeah? And, uh. Personal request. If anything comes through for me, space it. I don-- I don't want it. Ever.

[he looks about ready to shut off the video but stops.]

...Rodimus, don't look in the blue crate in the cargo bay. Just leave it.

[ Whirl's optic narrows and he bristles, plating flaring and basically looking like a particularly irritated bird. However, Whirl has figured out that he is getting absolutely nowhere and is now getting particularly unhappy with the fact. ]

I've GOT it.

[ Whirl looks down at Teeb's head and if he wasn't positive that Trailcutter was not in there anymore he'd be sure it was telling him that he doesn't have it.

Whirl makes that really odd sound again that's probably not great for his vocalizer in the first place, and he unhooks his claws from where they were wrapped around the head because he's not really got a better answer and Riptide's already there and he would like to stop touching it because Teebs is staring at him and the last time he thought about that too hard that was about the point that he'd hung out with sweeps and he doesn't want to have that kind of conversation with Trailbreaker..

Cutter.

Did that matter.

Did-

Once Whirl's dropped the head off into the Tarp he sort of just continues sitting there, looking at his claws where it was while his brain module runs in circles.]

[riptide is not nearly skilled enough to deal with this. whirl is staring at him and then at the head and then-- he keeps holding the tarp out, not wanting to make any sudden movements, though his hands get a little shaky. he doesn't know what to do if whirl starts talking to the head.

teebs had been so confused when riptide showed up at the bar, telling him to come see something cool. riptide doesn't like thinking about how teeb's head looks with the hole in it and he can see the brain module, trailcutter had been making a stupid joke when riptide was trying to get them back to the alt-ingress, trying to hide his slowly increasing panic.

for a brief moment, the flat blue lid of the crate looks like the same colour as pipes, and all riptide can think about are the mangled corpses of people he knew in the quantum duplicate lost light.

riptide shakes his head, carefully putting the head back into the crate when whirl drops it.]

You got it.

[he barely spares whirl a glance as he backs away from the crate, not really wanting to look at the lid again.]
