Subject: Re Re Re Hey
Up in one of the sniper nests on the mountain. He had sensor-dampening tarps and camouflage netting all over him. No wonder Ratchet couldn't find him

Um…I know he got you irritated and all, but isn't dragging the 2IC through the Ark to Medical and strapping him down to the central repair berth over an engraving on his upper arm a little excessive?

Subject: Re How are they?
Jazz is stable, 'jack's fabricating two new legs and a right arm for him now. Twins are both on full life support, Sunstreaker went into shock on the table and almost took his brother with him. None of them will be leaving Repair for at least a fortnight. Do me a slagging favour and make sure this doesn't happen again.
