Ratchet's shoulders tighten, his optics dim, but he keeps them on Drift's face. He owes Drift that, he knows. He gives Drift the numbers, lets him know how many went to join Thunderclash or set out on their own.
As for Dai Atlas... "Star Saber killed him. Cyclonus took out his optic, but he got away before they could take him out. I think I was still in Pharma's lab, at the time. He--" Ratchet blows a shivery gust of air from his vents.
"Ambulon is dead too. Pharma killed him--he had these stupid new chainsaw hands and he cut him in half lengthwise and left him for me to 'fix.' First Aid was there too, but he made it. He killed Pharma, a little later, so that's... that's one less thing to worry about." Emotion flickers on his face and he cycles his vents roughly.
"A lot of other stuff's happened too, but you don't have to hear it all at once, understand? It's... a lot. We can space it out."
