The Other CMO

«This is Pharma, CMO of Autobot medical facility Delphi and commander over all Autobot forces on Messanine—now defunct, as we have answered the transmission calling us back to Cybertron. It's good to be home. I hope to assist in Cybertron's restoration in any way possible.» ((Aligned Pharma RP blog. Associated with timeline but full multiverse access.))

[pharmacidal-blog]

::Pharma, This is Shockwave! We talked briefly I know but... I would be honored if you could find time to show me around your medical facilities. I do hope I am not being too forward.♥::

«Forward~? No, no, not at all. I would be more than delighted to show a brilliant mech of your caliber around my workplace. Barring any unexpected medical emergencies, I should be free any time. When can I expect you?»

[pharmacidal-blog]

«Praxus, actually. Iacon remains deserted at the moment, but for the Prime and a couple of helpers trying to restore the archives.»

«You may consider this your official invitation to Praxus~ Although I’ll have to stay nearby at all times, naturally. We can’t have Decepticons wandering our hospital unescorted, you understand. I’m afraid Praxus isn’t much to look at right now, but it’s certainly a far sight better than Kaon.»

[formersenatorshockwave]

::Praxus.:: He corrects himself, with a soft chuckle. ::That just displays my lack of knowledge of your universe already.::

::I can understand the need to keep an opposing faction under close guard however, there is no Decepticons joining me this trip.::

[pharmacidal-blog]

«On, you’ll catch on soon enough. Is Iacon the center of the Autobots’ reconstruction efforts in your universe?»

«... Oh?» That was an... odd thing for Shockwave to say. «Do tell. And, ah, if I were to ask which you are...?»

«Well, well. What a treat. I’d never imagined that I’d have the pleasure of getting to meet myself. How do you do?»

He’s new to the multiverse and he is tickled pink.

[trustme-imamedic]

“How beautiful the sound of my own voice is.” He hummed “It’s about time I found someone brilliant enough to carry on an intelligent conversation with.”

 Pharma was used to this, he had already met six different Ratchets (All of them beautiful of course) and a ‘Shattered glass’ version of himself. 

“I’ve been perfectly fine, how about you?”

[pharmacidal-blog]

«About time indeed. I swear, this war has been more unkind to geniuses than to any other mechs.»

Pharma’s never even heard of “shattered glass.” He’s going to be in for a nasty shock.

«I can’t complain. Well enough, under the circumstances.»

[formersenatorshockwave]

::Completely Understandable. I could be— you are located in Icacon? I was portaled there once, however receiving no invitation I had to temper my curiosity and didn’t explore far.::

::I have only spend time in Kaon so far, that wasn’t a sightseeing tour, either however.::

Ooooh, Shockwave is going to repaint himself like a medical professional. Fun!

So. There were other versions of himself somewhere out there?

Time for him to try to make contact.

«Do you know what he said to me when I asked why he hadn’t told me about the multiverse? “You didn’t ask”! Of all the blame-deflecting cliches! As though I was supposed to ask about something I had no reason to conceive of being possible.» Grumble grumble mutter mutter.

«… Have you by chance met a, er–a me?»

[imadoctor-notasoldier]

<<That’s Shockwave for you.>>

<<Once. He was… disturbing.>>

Might have some weird comments about hands and boxes. Ratchet wasn’t that excited to keep talking.

[pharmacidal-blog]

«“Disturbing”?» Scoffs. «How could I possibly be disturbing? I’m delightful.»

And the winner for “least self-aware bot” iiiiis...

[pharmacidal-blog]

«A–a dozen? You’ve met a dozen of yourself?»

«How could I know?! I was across the galaxy when this discovery was made, and when I returned to Cybertron nobody bothered to bring it up, not even Shockwave himself–oh, I am going to have a word with Shockwave–!»

[imadoctor-notasoldier]

<<I would have to check my records for an exact number.>>

<<You’re welcome to have all the words with him as you can. It’s his fault we’re even in contact with the multiverse at all.>>

«... Have you by chance met a, er--a me?»

[pharmacidal-blog]

«Another Ratchet?! There’s more than one of you? The first I’ve heard about this nonsense is last week, when somewhere a hundred miles away some soft-pastel Shockwave apparently helped work out the plague cure while I was no less than ten feet away from the violet menace himself!» That was when he’d started doing research. And now he was half in scientific wonder at this brave new multi-world, and half torqued off that nobody had told him about it sooner. «Three years! And nobody mentioned this! By the Thirteen…»

[imadoctor-notasoldier]

<<There are at least a dozen that I’ve seen. The pastel Shockwave you mentioned likely knows one of them.>>

<<I thought you knew!>>

[pharmacidal-blog]

«A--a dozen? You’ve met a dozen of yourself?»

formersenatorshockwave started following you

Well, that was fast.

«I’d heard rumors that there was another scientist named Shockwave running about. Imagine my surprise to find out they were true. I’m Pharma. A pleasure.»

[formersenatorshockwave]

::You will find I am full of surprises. Hello Pharma, I am am familiar with your work, as brilliant as the mech I once knew that shares your Designation.::

Such a flirt. (He does miss the banter and Knock Out Has been spoiling him on it.) 

[pharmacidal-blog]

«Such a flatterer! Although I must wonder where you found another mech that shares my designation? Two Shockwaves, two Pharmas... Is there a whole army of doppelgangers out there that that someone forgot to mention?» He chuckles. He’s joking, of course.

Somebody forgot to tell him about the multiverse.

[monumentalmistakes]

«’Cons and ‘Bots, this is Knock Out. I am pleased to announce that WE HAVE A CURE!»

[pharmacidal-blog]

«WHAT.»

«WHAT?!»

«How did you find a cure first?! It’s not possible! And what are you talking about, Shockwave’s been with me the whole time! There is no way some backwater colony ‘bot came up with a cure before I did. What kind of faux panacea are you trying to peddle?»

[monumentalmistakes]

Starscream’s back in charge of the Decepticons’ comm lines, and there is absolutely nothing better to welcome him back than the sound of Pharma being indignant. «Oooh, what a pity. I do wonder how it feels to know that, even with a handicap of several million years of medical training, you were still outsmarted by a “backwater colony ‘bot” whose primary calling is racing.»

«You must be quite out of the loop, oh wise doctor, to not know that there’s more than one Shockwave running about.»

Oh yeah, Starscream’s loving this.

[pharmacidal-blog]

«A racer who was aided by multiple other doctors, several of whom DO have millions of years of proper medical training. I hardly would call it being outsmarted when he was undoubtedly spoonfed the difficult answers by actual professionals.»

«What nonsense--more than one Shockwave. I suppose he’s cloned himself without mentioning it? Of all the ridiculous things I’ve... I, ah... er...»

He checked the link to the “other” Shockwave. The best phrase to describe what’s going on in Pharma’s mind right now is probably “hubba hubba.”

«I... I see. Hm.»

[pharmacidal-blog]

::I'm serious, mech. Movie nights aren't usually that filled with beasts.::

«Hmph. I expect little better from a Decepticon-hosted get-together.»
