...Jackjack? [He doesn't sound disapproving of the nickname, despite his surprise at receiving one at all. Instead, Wheeljack sounds almost touched, in a way he had no way of knowing was difficult for him to get across these days without the new boundaries introduced into his spark putting a quick and brutally efficient stop to it]

In any case, I am glad to hear it. I was concerned for you. It is easy for anyone to fall into the cracks here aboard the ship, believe me, and I do not wish that to happen to you.

[A pause, filled with ringing and pain, and pain, and pain, and he unknowingly shifts what he had been about to say into something else]

I would and are prepared to begin again, but we may have to be restricted for now to my recording example tracks here on my own, to be followed up with you when convenient.

I have a lot on my mind that is better... [Another pause as he starts to fight against that ringing just slightly, which eked out a gasp that's barely heard over what he had been saying] Better dealt with on my own. I... I will see to it. Soon. I can promise that much.
