“What can I do for you, my friend?”

“Nintey-six thousand seven hundred and eighty three.”

“That’s how many lives Pharma has saved. Disregarding any surgeries in which he wasn’t the primary physician.  Ninty-six thousand seven hundred and eighty three patients, people, who would have died if it weren’t for him. His willingness to help. His nights spent without recharge. He donated his own fuel pump to a patient in need, and went without nerve dampeners so he could perform the procedure. He went through the pain of medicine-free surgery on himself to save a life.”

“And what did he get for it? Stationed on an ice-cold, backwater planet in Decepticon Justice Division territory, without weapons, without back up.With only a nurse and a field medic to assist him in keeping an entire mine full of autobot workers alive. They placed him under pressure.”

“And then, Tarn, the deadliest Decepticon in Cybertronian history comes along and threatens to kill everyone on Delphi unless Pharma gives him transformation cogs, and Pharma has two options. Call for back up, and watch wave after wave of Autobots die at the hands of the DJD, or, take a few T-cogs from a few corpses, and try to keep his teammates safe. So, he desecrates a few corpses. More pressure.”

.

“But THEN, TARN, in his INFINITE STUPIDITY, demands MORE transformation cogs! More, More more! Pressure! Pressure PRESSURE! Until Pharma SNAPS! His processor buckles under the weight of all that pressure and it breaks in half lengthways! He’s doing whatever he can to keep himself and his team alive! FORTY SIX!”

“That’s how many autobots he killed directly. Forty-six autobots, counting Ambulon. Forty six, compared to the hundreds Roadbuster killed. Compared to the countless lives Prowl has ruined. Forty six. What makes him a monster compared to them? What makes him so evil? Pharma is a hero. A hero I’m honored to know. A bed warmer? Really?”

Primus… and I thought the Autobots here were bad. At least they don’t try to pretend they care. Didn’t you have a contact? Someons like…. well, I can’t imagine Sunder would be very friendly, but… but what about Optimus Prime? He should be a good guy, right?

oh, Optimus Prime didn’t really have time to trouble himself with struggling medical facilities in DJD territory. he was too busy punching Megatron, butting into other species’ affairs, and developing his cult of personality so he could more efficiently lead his troops into battle

“I would… seek to get to know you, offer you energon, and perhaps a place to rest should you need it.”

This mostly comes from chatting with @defiantdelphi,so credit goes to them for inspiring me.

While Tyrest is still chief justice in the shattered glass universe, in that reality, he uses the postion as a cover for the fact that he’s a crime boss. He hates forged bots, sees them all as too goody-goody. While he expresses a lot of emotions and is a bit of a crybaby, the truth is, he feels almost nothing. Nothing at all. He’s a sociopath who knows how he SHOULD feel, but he just can’t…quite…process it.

First Aid sat up at the knock, startled out of his focus. He'd be sitting in his living room going over reports with a glass of high grade and a sappy movie playing in the background. He frowns in concern and puts down his datapad, heading over to the door.
