She didn't even have it in her to be sarcastic. The scope of the repairs needed... It was hitting her hard and it was all she could do to keep her wince hidden when she was facing him.
Sorting through the shop's supplies, Mikaela was able to pick out a selection of tubing of the right gauge, and small pipe clamps to attach them to what was left of Optimus' own fluid lines. A lot of their parts just didn't have even similar replacements among human supplies, so Optimus would be stuck repairing many smaller bits automatically. But the ones that did, like tubes and simple knobs or bolts, or things that could be replicated by bending metal into simple shapes...
That she could do. And he needed fluids to get to the right places if he was going to self-repair at all.
Returning to his open shoulder, she gave him a light tap. "Right. Heading in."
