Uh. I don't suppose anyone's seen Krok? I haven't. Which isn't good, he was still recovering last I saw.
Otherwise, I was wondering if there was a medic available. I wanted to get something of mine looked at.

Hey, little guy. I haven't seen you for awhile. You doing okay?

[WING]
Is... there any update on Vandal?
And I had a favor to ask.

[MISFIRE]
I'm feeling kind of. Kind of off. You?

Good. I'm almost finished, so I'll let you know when I'm done.
...Pretty sure. With Tarn being here, it's only gonna be a matter of time. I escaped him once, doesn't mean I'll be so lucky the second time.
[Video, Private]
You have my word, I'll see to it.
So Tarn will be after you as well? [A obvious welling of concern, but then--] You escaped him before? How?
[Video, Private]
...I got lucky, that's all. I met some Decepticons on Clemency. Bottom of the food chain as far as the army went; most people would say they were forgettable. But Krok, Misfire, and all the others -- they're quirky and strange and brilliant as hell. They stood up for me against the DJD, so, um. I tried to blow Tarn up to protect them. Sorta didn't realize that Krok and the others removed my payload, though.
[Video, Private] OH GOD Wing is going to flip his shit when he finds out what you are. XD
That takes a commendable sense of bravery. [Or a special brand of crazy, though Wing prefers the former. Helping another is the highest calling one can aspire to after all.] So you tried to blow up--
[A beat.] Did you say...payload?
[Video, Private] WELL HERE WE GO...
I'm not really that brave, when you get down to it. Especially considering what I was convicted of.
Uh, yeah? I'm K-Class.
[Video, Private] DRUMROLL PLEASE
If only our people had less call to require bravery. But lacking it doesn't make you lesser. [Just normal really.] I certainly won't press on details though. Your current deeds matter more to me.
...K-class? [Have a look Fulcrum, it's the clueless kind.]
[Video, Private]
I appreciate that.
Oh, um. You know, Decepticon prisoners? We got reformatted as the K-Cons? We turn into a bomb if we jump from a high place?
[Video, Private]
[He flashes another smile.]
Oh no, I--[am definitely not familiar with]--Wait, you WHAT!?
[Shock? Horror? Is there a word that sums this up? Not really. Which is why Wing is most just gaping at you now Fulcrum. Give him a moment to recover himself and realize how rude that is.]
[Video, Private]
I, um. Turn into a bomb? I promise I don't explode anymore; that was removed.
[Video, Private]
[He does believe it, with all his spark, but the weight of his words is telling of how difficult he knows that road to be.]
I--I'm sorry... I've been away from the war. I didn't realize... [He looks more than mildly disturbed.] They reformatted mechs...into bombs. That's......horrible.
[Video, Private]
Well, all the prisoners of Styx were reformatted into the K-Class: they'd force us to jump out of an aircraft, which would trigger our new alt-mode. All for the glory of the Decepticons.
[He's still more or less proud of his heritage, but what the Decepticons became? Not so much.]
[Video, Private]
Force you... That's. Not glory. That's... [What do you even call that? Forced suicide? He looks pretty mortified regardless of the words used to describe it.]
Did they call this punishment or were they just...using you?
