[Video/action for those in the medbay] The medbay, Solus's temple
[This fine day you all are graced with the view of the medbay. But the view is not as interesting as the sounds you can hear. There’s…a lot of screaming.
A small droid passes by in front of the camera, clearly running away from the odd pair of naked humans freaking up out and yelling at each other. In all honestly, the woman is the one doing most of the yelling, as well as holding the man by the upper arms and shaking him.]
I-I don’t know-
What do you mean you DON’T KNOW!? Look at us! My body, my precious frame ruined! I’ve been in the medbay since all this started and the only one who left and came back was YOU. If this madness is caused by some sort of disease then you brought it here! You better find a way to fix this quickly Fracas or I swear to Primus…
[She raises a hand in anger, just to notice that she has no longer claws but red painted fingernails. Perfectly manicured maybe but not as long as his usual pointy fingers.] I can’t even turn my arm into the buzzsaw!
[The man lets out a slightly reedy yelp, bringing one suddenly-freed hand up to defend his head.] … Thank PRIMUS for small favors! How can I fix it, Knock Out?! I don’t even know what caused it, but maybe if you stopped SHAKING ME I could figure it out!
[He pauses, suddenly looking at his hands.] What am I supposed to do with all these extra fingers?! … Wait. [He brings his hand down to touch his face cautiously.] Oooh no no no no no no no…!
[Meanwhile, McCoy is just heading into work, ready to start another fun day on this alien planet he's stranded on-- When his wide eyes fall on the very human Knock Out and Fracas. Who are both very naked. He stands there a moment, looking both horrified and confused, before his cheeks turn red.]
Good God! Who the Hell are you people!? [He waves a hand at Knock Out and Fracas] And where the Hell are your clothes!?
((OOC: Fracas is in purple, MCCoy is blue and Knock Out is in red. All of Fracas’s responses will be from expendablemechanic. Feel free to reply to them here or come to the medbay )
[ Action ]
YOU! You are human. FIX US.
[ Action ]
... Eventually!
For now there is something else to deal with. Like the guy that just walked in.]
I'm Fracas, and that's Knock Out. We... we're usually not humans. I, uh. Do you have any idea how this could have happened?
[Clothes? ... Naaaaah.]
[ Action ]
You make it happen! What else? Uh...what's wrong with your eye? [She got in doctor mode again. KO got a thing for one eyes mechs, those catch her attention.]
[ Action ]
Old injury. It's been like that for a long time. But I function perfectly fine with just one! Just... have depth perception issues. [He does not even consider that she might have a less-than-medical interest in his condition.]
[ Action ]
I know about those, my partner had them. When did this happen? It happened here? [There's a hint of anger in that last question. Only the Cons from their world are allowed to pester the vehicons, it's like a non spoken rule.]
[ Action ]
Here? N-no, it was a long time ago. Before I transferred into Maintenance. It's why I transferred in the first place. Some Autobot back home... got a good hit in. That's all. [But he'd been able to walk away and didn't want to endanger any of the other Vehicons more than he had to.]
[ Action ]
And no one really cared about you when it happened, I take it?
[It doesn't come to a surprise to Knock Out. Vehicons were known to be cannon fodder, expendable individuals. Knock Out remembers how Breakdown used to treat them quite fairly, all things considered.]
Stupids. You can't win a war if your soldiers's health and skills are not 100% perfect. It's too late to fix it, though. [If Knock Out sounds apologetic it's probably that you imagined it in your just-turned-human state. Just that, really.]
[ Action ]
I'm a Vehicon. No one cares what happens to us. Not anymore.
[He'd heard that Breakdown had been kind to others like him, to a point. Until that whole thing with Airachnid. Other than that, though, Fracas never met anyone that cared about Vehicons before coming here.]
I know. I never expected it to be fixed. I just... I didn't want any of the others getting hurt on account of my blind spot, and Autobots usually don't pay attention to the ones doing repairs to the ship. [It was the best route he could think of to go. It kept him - and everybody else - out of trouble. And if he hears any sort of apologetic tone to that... he'd definitely be crazy.
Or still panicking and hearing sympathy because he needs it. That's probably it.]
[ Action ]
We are Decepticons. No one cares what happens to anybody. [She had someone who cared though, time ago.]
You did the smart thing. Screwing up on the field would have gotten you killed. [Either by an Autobot, or by another Decepticon. Patience for failure was no something Megatron had in spades, Knock Out knew that too well.]
The next time something like this happen, come to me. [But don't you dare to say anything to anybody.]
[ Action ]
Keh. There weren't many people that would miss me. Nobody even knew I existed. [That was how Vehicons worked, after all. One of them was killed, no one cared; they'd be replaced quickly. They were just bodies.]
All right. Uhm, thank you sir. [As if he'd say something like that to anyone.]
[ Action ]
That's why you all look the same, it's hard to notice when one of you is gone. [If they ever get back to their world, KO is totally repainting you. Fracas.]
Hnngg. [Her version of 'thanks' or 'Shut up'. Pick your choice.]
[ Action ]
I doubt anyone would bother anyway, with how many of us there are. We can tell each other apart, though, for the most part. [It's a trick of looking for familiar scratches and dents.
Would it be one of those sweet paintjobs like the jets started getting][ Action ] Lovely mug, Fracas
For the most part? [
Ko could give you a new look, Fracas][ Action ] Isn't it just? He rather likes it.
Well, sometimes mechs end up with similar scratches on their armor. The same dent on their shoulders. [
That would be kind of nice...][ Action ] Yes. Now Fracas needs a '#1 Vehicon' one
You could have different painjobs if you wanted. All you had to do is ask. [
He can do nice once every blue moon]But I know that would ruin the whole 'intimidating' factor.[The way she says that it's clear that KO doesn't find it all that intimidating.] But here that's not necessary nor possible.
[ Action ] That would be so cute. Best mug ever
It's not like anyone thinks we're intimidating anyway, really. Not even the Autobots, anymore. They've all told me. Well, most of them, anyway.
[Heck, even one the Megatrons didn't get it.]
... You'd really do that for me?
[ Action ] Yes. He needs it.
[KO shrugs.]
Why not?
[ Action ] Puts his energon in it
[Fracas shrugs in return.]
Well, it's just... I never really expect offers of help from officers...
[ Action ] All the cute
And I never really expect to turn into a fleshie, this is a day of firsts.
[ Action ]
[ Action ]
[ Action ]
[ Action ] we wrao it up it here?
[ Action ]
[He turned around, glancing around the medbay] Surely there's got to be something here we can put you in. You and your... [he looks at Fracas, frowns, looks away] Yeah, no, let's find some clothes right now before we do anything else.
[ Action ]
[Knock Out huffed and then relaxed marginally, smirking and approaching McCoy.] So, doctor, tell me about human bodies. You are the expert.
[ Action ]
[He looked around, knitting his brows. Turned back to Knock Out.] Right. Stay here. I'll go... find something. I just gave the only bit of fabric I found to our new patient.
[He leaves, not expecting you to, you know, STEAL AMBULON'S SHEET.]
[ Action ]
[BUT IT WAS RIGHT THERE...and he was barely using it.]
[ Action ]
