Biting her lip, Mikaela undoes the crimps holding the flow of Optimus' fluid back from the line. It swells, and a few beads of fluid escape the edge of the tape, but it otherwise seems to be flowing correctly.

She breaths out a sigh of relief.

"...Phew. Got it back into shape and wrapped up, and it looks like it'll be enough to hold it until you've rested enough to repair."

She adds another tight loop of tape around the leak as she speaks, before nodding in satisfaction and wiggling backwards.

"Coming out."
