The surgery had gone well, though the necrosis had spread further along the Prime's arm than Cleaver had guessed. She and Ratchet had put the large mech into temporary stasis for the procedure, for the older medic's peace of mind as much as anything else. Cutting away pieces of the living embodiment of their deity was unsettling enough without him being conscious of it. Optimus was more like another mech to Ratchet from vorns spent alongside one another, but Cleaver suspected that he still felt something more than he would working intensively on one of the others.
Operating on Optimus had apparently given Cleaver a 'pass' for being in the Autobot base without being supervised. She'd pulled archaic rank on Ratchet and sent him to shower and recharge, pointing out that she was perfectly capable of monitoring their patient through the night.
Sitting against the wall near but not quite in the Medbay area of the control room, the femme had put herself out of optic and casual audio range of the mecha on the monitors. Cat had been taken by June to sleep elsewhere, her arms well tended and the pain beautifully managed. She was pleased that the smallest member of their crew was spending time with her own species, and with others who regularly interacted with Cybertronians as well. Certainly they had their own perspective, and it was important to be able to talk with people in similar circumstances.
One tier of her processor locked on the medberth's readouts, Cleaver sat toying with schematics for the new Neutral base, though she could admit that she was bored. Too long spent with a fuller ship had made conversation habitual, where before she existed largely in solitude aside from Reflector's quiet engagements. Much as she was glad Ironhide was absent on extended patrol from the base for the night, and thus would remain perfectly ignorant of the healing hole in her side, he would have been a friendly face to share longwave with and talk to.
