"You know, baby blue,"

Petrol flinched at the sudden pressure on his shoulder; when did his servo get there? He slowly looked up to the mech as his processor seemed to lag.

"You're a harder mech to find then we thought. With how disgustingly friendly you are, we had expected to find you much sooner. Ah, but no real matter. We're getting a handsome amount to bring you in."

Thunderscreech tightened his grip on Petrol's shoulder before flashing a predatory grin, gold denta flashing in the low light. Petrol invented sharply before his optics wondered to his cube of engex; a barely visible iridescent film having formed at the top. He swallowed heavily as he noticed the outer edge of his vision starting to blur. Despite lagging processor, he steeled himself the best he could before glaring at the seeker.

"What did you do to me." Petrol's voice crackled, his vocalizer seeming to be giving out like the rest of his tiring systems. Thunderscreech let out a low chuckle before pulling Petrol in close enough for him to whisper into his audial.

"Nothing serious baby blue.. just something to relax you and keep you agreeable. Though by the looks of it, it's acting faster than expected. Pity. I was hoping to get more out of you."

Petrol felt panic rising in his slowed processor. He begged his systems to let him move, let him run, pits even just let him scream, but one by one he felt his systems starting to shut down for stasis. He grimace, glaring at Thunderscreech again, gritting out

"You absolute fragger.." before his vocalizer fully shut off.

Thunderscreech let out a bark of laughter before gesturing to someone behind Petrol.

"LT, would you be a dear and take our friend back to our transport? We'll have a lot to talk about once he's sober."
