Perceptor and Ratchet worked hard, studying the sample that Ratchet had saved from Mirage and his illness bout. Ratchet sometimes just watched as Perceptor poked and prodded at the sample in various ways. The pair worked hard and soon, came up with an injectible solution that might save the Prime. The problem was that they weren't sure if it would harm or kill the sparklings. They really didn't have time to test it thoroughly either, as Optimus was running out of time. "I think this is the best we can do" Percy stated, handing the special needle and liquid to Ratchet.
"I hope it will not only save our Prime, but also not kill the sparklings he carries" Ratchet replied, taking the precious needle and syringe filled with liquid.
"Only way to know is to give it" Percy stated before leaving, as his part was complete. Now all was up to Ratchet and the created special liquid.
Ratchet headed back to the med bay, comming Mirage at the same time. Ratchet wanted Mirage there before even trying this whole thing. When a Ratchet finally arrived at the med bay, not only was Mirage there, but also hide and the mini bot Sandblaster. "You said you have a development, Ratchet?" Mirage asked, sounding more like a Prime than usual.
"I do. Perceptor and I created this special liquid out of a sample that was saved when Mirage last was sick. We were not able to test it on a bot yet, as so little was able to be made, so we don't know exactly what it will do, but we believe it will give our Prime the best chance of surviving" Ratchet explained.
"And what about the sparklings he is carrying?" Mirage asked, worriedly.
"I wish I could say for sure that it won't harm them, but I can't. But the thing is, I feel that this med's benefit to Optimus is worth the possible risk to the sparklings. Besides, if we don't do something soon, we may lose them all" Ratchet stated.
Mirage sighed. He hadn't wanted to hear that, but he understood. Ratchet looked to Mirage. "Do what you must, I refuse to lose my mate" Mirage stated firmly. He trusted the medic and Percy. Ratchet nodded and administered the special liquid to Optimus. If it would work and work without harming the developing sparklings, no one knew, but all hoped and prayed that this created liquid would save Optimus and not hurt the developing sparklings. Only time would tell.
