[action; Megatronus' Temple]

[staresat]

[Near the northern tip of the Haven, a visitor began to noiselessly pass into the valley of Megatronus' quadrant. While it did have the machinery to stay aloft, it was less a jet and more a flying frame tightly built around a large cannon - a gunship of sorts, and one of alien make. Fixed to it's underside was a box. Just a dull box. Any superficial decoration had been removed.]

[Upon reaching the different abodes of the quadrant, it lowered to a hover, engines still silent. The package was deposited onto the ground, and the craft banked to the left before changing back. Looks like it- now a he, was waiting for someone.]

...

[ooc: feel free to poke this weirdo now or on his way out.]

[staresat]

No. It is with an alternate self.

[The box may have had it's wrapping removed (it looked stupid okay) but Knockout may recognize it was one of the containers that had been spilling out of the Lambda as of late.]

[Shockwave must have really wanted whatever he was being given to actually stop what he was doing, fly over from his quadrant, and sit here to wait.]

[deadlydoctor]

AH, one of those. I talked to him and his pet.

[But presents are nicer if they are wrapped! He does recognize it, though.] You got a present for him? How cute.

[staresat]

[Present? Shockwave only gives presents to Megatron.]

I am exchanging this for a cortical psychic patch.

[One that quite literally had his name on it. This box just also happened to have the same name, but was intended for the... other one. With the pet.]

[deadlydoctor]

[Dragon presents, at that.]

Ah, one of those. [Knock Out's face is blank form expression. Pokerface all the way.] It seems like a fitting present. Do you know what's in that box?

[staresat]

Items for his... pet.

[It was how he could tell it wasn't his, actually. He had no use for things meant for a giant mechaworm.]

[Oh, and there was a parachute in there. He was just guessing this all had meaning to the other Shockwave and didn't really care enough to rifle through it once he opened the box.]

[deadlydoctor]

Is it Food for Driller? It was hungry when I first meet him.

[And let's be honest, is better to keep that thing not hungry.]

I never saw anything like him in our universe, and you?

[staresat]

There is energon inside.

[The second question earns a bit of a pause - Knockout didn't seem like he was all that old, a part of him was curious if he had seen Cybertron while it still had some life on it.]

There were large creatures in the distant past. [that were revived] Of a different kind.

[deadlydoctor]

But here the energon is easy to find, how's that a special present? Is that energon purple? [Because that would be really bad.

Knock Out looks very interested all of sudden] Large creatures other than drillers?

1/2

[staresat]

[Does he look like the type of person who understands the purpose of randomly giving gifts? He just wants his Patch ok.]

2/2

[staresat]

Research into our Cybertron's past has supported the existence of Predacons. A race of ancient Cybertronian creatures.

[Ones that could grow to be particularly large, if the preliminary results are accurate.]

Re: 2/2

[deadlydoctor]

[Fine, Fine, Ko won't ask further about the present. That predacon thing is much more interesting.]

But they're all extinct now, right?

[Are you sure that's a goo idea? Never breed something that can eat you whole in one bite.]

[staresat]

....

[Knowing Shockwave, that's a no.]

They do not appear to be present on this Cybertron.

[deadlydoctor]

That I can tell. [He doesn't know Shockwave all that much, but the specification of 'this Cybertron' made Knock Out wary. He does know that the purple bot doesn't enjoy being bothered or interrupted for long. Knock Out doesn't want to be on Shockwave's black list.]

I don't want to bother you further. [Knock Out smiles and gestures around.] I hope you get your gift quickly.
