"Okay, Ring. How in the pit did you do that?" Rodimus demanded, gaping at the dorky therapist in shock.
"I… I have no idea," the orange-plated mech answered honestly. The glasses he clutched in his other hand trembled slightly.
"Sooo… what are we talking about?" Skids asked, sitting up to flash the group a cheerful grin.
"Rong just brought you back to life!" announced Rodimus, throwing his servos in the air dramatically.
"It's true," Tailgate agreed. "You died, and he was crying over your corpse, and then you started glowing gold, and your spark relit, and…"
"And you were brought back from the beyond," Cyclonus finished gruffly, placing a comforting hand on the minibot's shoulder.
'Wait… I was dead?" The theoretician put a hand over his chest, focusing on the gentle pulse that his spark was giving off.
"Yes, my dear, Skids. You were very much gone," Rung admitted, smiling timidly from where he was kneeling next to the bigger mech on the floor.
"You really are a mech of many talents, Rung! Thank Primus you were here!" Skids declared, throwing his arms around the lithe mech. After a few moments, he felt the therapist return the hug gently.
"I'm glad you're alive," Rung whispered, clutching his friend close.
