None of that’s necessary. It ain’t right for a fully-capable mech to sit and think somethin’ should be done about his planet without actually puttin’ effort towards it. I’m a heckuva lot cooler than that, man; ain’t no way I’m gonna ask for energon and shelter without doin’ somethin’ for it in return![He stops and stares at Prime as if he doesn’t fully understand his question, his expression shifting into one of disbelief as he goes over what he’s said.]
No. No, no, no, no, no… See, I… there were no sounds of struggles or artillery fire! At least, none that I heard. I’d never take his word over yours; that just slipped out. [His mouth opens and closes another few times as he ponders a few more excuses, but there are no suitable ones for a mistake as big as that.]
I see…
Jazz, I believe, for the time being, you should not return to your duties. You will, but for the moment, you need to gather your thoughts and rest. You deserve it.

[He jumps a little when OP mentions resigning, but shakes his helm.]…Why resign? I mean, where else do you expect me to go? I know I’m a popular guy, but I don’t think many humans have much energon or a garage to spare for me. [Laughs quietly, looking over at Prime with a faint smile.] And even if I did leave, I don’t think I’d get to see Cybertron again either.
I got with the ‘Bots ‘cause they had ideas similar to mine and… because you impressed me. But even with all the respect I have for you, I don’t know if I can bring myself to believe you even tried to help when I didn’t hear a peep from you. Soundwave said he didn’t get any messages… someone’s lyin’ here.
Or maybe my rotten side’s gotten even worse since the war began.
We would take care of you here, regardless of your position. Or… we could send you to Cybertron, if we briefly take over the Decepticon space bridge, however we would not be able to provide for you there.
You would believe Soundwave over us?

How is Jazz?
Oh, it’s alright, I understand you ain’t got the time in your busy schedule to come in here ask me myself.
I was… under the impression that you were in recharge. My apologies. How is your condition?
I’m better.
I ain’t gonna mince words with you, Prime, I think y’know what kinda question’s on my processor right now.
Y’know, selfless deeds and helpin’ your cause outta the goodness of my spark is one thing, but I woulda thought with all the good times we’ve had we woulda been… friends, dig? So, was I just not a priority when set next to all the other stuff you guys had to do or what? I wanna know why you didn’t come and get me outta there, big guy.
We had attempted it, however it was not successful, obviously.
I will offer no apology, because it is not nearly enough. If you wish to resign your position, I completely understand. We are simply grateful to see you still function.
How is Jazz?
Jazz? Well, managed to put him back together just fine but er… he’s quite moody. You should talk to him, you know. *Elbows but dents his own joint in the process owowowowow*
Yes, I have noticed. Thank you.

^he knows everyone is angry at him, and they have a right to be, but the battle was going too south too fast. They couldn’t handle all of those Decepticons. They will have to try again soon^
^making sure everyone’s accounted for, going to be the last one out^

Ratchet, we are outnumbered and overpowered. If we want to rescue Jazz the best thing we can do is get out of here. Now. Now go.
