Ratchet sat at his desk, going through his current stock of supplies and parts. He was waiting on the next supply ship to come by. He could get the humans to make them more parts sure, but human technology was more for quick fixes than permanent repairs. He looked over at the roster that Optimus had given him, quite a few new names on the list, some not even cybertronian. Well it didnt matter to him who they were, just that he had to fix them. He pinched the bridge between his optics as he leaned back in his extra super large chair.

Chris hated few things, but doctors appoitments were one of them. Going to see Ratchet was for a multitude of reasons. First off, he had cut his arm open slightly while practicing for basketball and the other was for the same thing, except on his left cheek. Optimus had overreacted, and felt he needed to go to Ratchet.
On top of this, he wanted to talk to Ratchet about the whole 'visions' situation. He knew if he asked, Ratchet wouldn't say a thing to anyone. But perhaps Ratchet could give him some answers. He sighed, heading into Ratchet's med bay calmly. "Hey Uncle Ratchet, are you here?" He called out.

Ratchet sat up when heard a voice. He stood up and spotted Chris. Ahh Chris, Optimus told me you would be stopping by... he said. He did a quick scan of the boy and didnt notice anything wrong other than the obvious. ....And as usual he has overestimated your injuries...if you can call them that.. Usually he would be in a bad mood when someone came in injured, but humans were not as durable as bots so he gave them better bedside manner. Afterall its not like the humans practiced the twins infernal 'jet judo'..

"Yeah I know, but I was down on the ground for a while this time. Kinda got knocked out." Chris commented a bit "He was just scared I guess... Basketball can be a rough sport." He sighed, he bit his lip and made sure no one was around "To tell you the truth, I came here for another reason... Something more... Private." He said in a low voice "Do you have the time?"

Ratchet grunted, while mumbling something about how dangerous Human sports can be, and why in the name of primus they dont wear more protective gear. Of course, I can always make time for you, youngling. He grabbed a small jar of antibiotic ointment he kept for organic 'visitors' into his bay. He applied a bit to a cotton swab he picked up by turning a finger into a pair of pliers. He gently cleaned the wounds before throwing the swab away. He opened another draw and brought out some bandages to patch Chris up.
Now what is it you wished to speak about? Patient-Doctor confidentiality of course....

Chris knew that answer was coming. Ratchet, along with a good ammount of his Father's men had helped to raise him, especially after his Mother's death. He flinched slightly as he applied the medical substance to his wounds, it stung slightly. "You know... The symbols Sam used to see?" Chris commented, he then added "I think I'm starting to see them too, and... Something else." He decided to be up-front about it rather then beating around the bush.

Dont squirm, its hard enough using these little things... He listened closely to Chris as he began to explain himself. The boy was seeing the symbols as well? Have you touched a shard of the Allspark? He tried to process what was going on. Perhaps some residual energy from Sam had sparked this.
When did these symptoms start? Also, were you in any proximity to Samuel when it occurred.

"They started after I ran into Bee again a year ago..." Chris explained calmly, looking up at Ratchet "There's more then just symbols, and I'm not wigging out like Sam." He explained, Chris sighed a bit then thought "There's two figures... One, he's Autobot-ish... But he's much older then the Transformers. Even though he looks like him." He explained "The other... He's the same... But he's... Evil..."
Chris thought for a minute, then went more into detail. "The good one, I think he's trying to tell me something, like some kind of message." He explained "But I can never hear what he's trying to tell me."

Ratchet sat on a berth infront of the one Chris was perched on. Older.....hmmm...A good one and a evil one you say? That's a little vague. There are lots of those in the old archives back home. You might as well be describing Primus and Unic......... his processor clicked a couple of times. Could Chris be getting a message from who he thought he was..? The allspark was thought to be sent from Primus himself, so perhaps.....
This is quite interesting to hear. Is there anything else? Ratchet asked. He was geuninely curious.

Chris blinked slightly, Primus and Unicron? Was Ratchet seriously considering that? Sure he was next in line for leader of the Autobots, but why would Primus be talking to him. "That's one theory I had too..." He admitted "But I can't be too sure, the outlines are too vague... The voice is too distant."
He sighed, and thought, one detail did come to mind. "Whoever it was knew who I was." He explained "He didn't call me 'Chris', he called me 'Setinel'." He then added "But the visions are very quick, so I never see too much of it. That's about all that happens."

So he wasnt the only one who came to that conclusion. He didnt know what to tell Chris. He didnt even know if medication could prevent it, much less that Chris would even take it.
Hmm this is all very interesting...and puzzling. The fact that he calls you by your real name is even more puzzling. I wont tell Optimus anything about this, but you must notify me of any changes. If the visions get worse however I will have to let him know you realize.... he said softly.

"Of course Uncle Ratchet... If it got worse I know he'd have to know." Chris nodded calmly, looking at Ratchet "But.... I mean if it is him.... What should I do?" He asked, looking at Ratchet "How do I talk to him? I mean I've tried, but it's like... Something intercepting the communication."

Hmm that was a good question. What should he do? There were many possible options. He could scream like a femme, for example out of fright. But Chris was made of sterner stuff than that.
Well Youngling, I cant say for sure, I've never spoken to HIM either. But I have a feeling that when the time is right and he feels that you are ready, You will get your chance. Has the evil one done anything during your visions?

"No, that's the weird thing... It was like he was dormant." Chris shook his head "He sort of hovered, like... He was damaged." He shook his head "And being around that thing, it made me... Feel... Like there was nothing good in the world." He sighed, and nodded a bit "But you're right, I just have to wait for when whoever it is... Primus or not.. Is ready to talk to me."

Well hopefully as long as the dark one is dormant as you say, then we wont have to worry about it. Who knows, we could be worrying about something that isnt even the case. But just incase do as I told you. The last thing we need is another wild goose chase around this planet. He cleaned up all the trash from the injuries. He turned and looked back at Chris for a moment.
Is there anything else you wish to speak of? he asked.
