Ratchet appears on screen, his aged face twisted into a frown. "Well," he says without preamble. "I did an autopsy at last on the two Decepticon victims, and it's given me more questions than answers. Both are infected with the nanovirus - which begs the question, did they give it to Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, or did our boys catch it from them? So far, no other Autobots except the Weatherbots seem to be affected, so I can't yet trace the connection."
Sideswipe's voice can be heard off-screen. "We didn't get it from Starlock and I'm guessing that we didn't give it to her either. And... I was already enraged and angry when I went there, and I got there." Scales's voice can be heard saying, "Anybody on regular patrol should probably go on the list to be checked. Maybe sample a few to start, to keep the workload manageable."
Ratchet turns to look back at Scales and Sideswipe and nods. Turning back to the camera, he continues, "I would like the Autobot brass to come down and get tested as well. The last thing we need is someone else falling prey to this and we not know it before it's too late. Also, Ironhide and Prime, we'd like to talk to you about the possibility that this is targeted. If this whole thing is a plot to make us look bad... well, then I'll owe Red Alert a round at the Rollout. CMO Ratchet, out."
With a gesture, Ratchet ends the transmission.
