User blog:Bzero/First Aid - Spike Injured

First Aid appears on screen, in a message recorded in Autobot City’s repair bay. His face is generally unreadable, although his optics exude concern. Looking directly into the camera, he reports, “Autobot City medical log, Doctor First Aid reporting. Last cycle I got an emergency signal from Spike Witwicky. Following it, I found him on the deck in the brig, struggling to breathe. Consulting the security tapes, I discovered that our captive, Dr. Arkeville, had used his robot arm to lift Spike up by his neck, nearly choking him to death.

“I rushed Spike to the medbay, where I was met by the G.I. Joe doctor Lifeline, who was on call. Lifeline saw to Spike’s injuries, intubating him to ensure he could breathe while his throat recovered from the attack. Spike is now resting from his ordeal, temporarily on mild painkillers. Lifeline has restricted him from duty, so Blizzard, Lugnut, and I will be dividing his workload until he recovers. “Dr. Arkeville was uninjured in the altercation. End log.” The screen returns to a spinning Autobot symbol.
