Okay.

This is easy enough.

I know some of you have been waiting for the Law Committee to become official, right?

Well now it is.

[He holds up a datapad with the current Law Committee Roster listed on it.]

I spent the past few weeks- [~~Trying to forget about being changed into a Sparkeater~~] -tracking everyone down and drafting this. Since we're supposed to be a de-facto political organization, this announcement is public so that anyone can make themselves heard if there are any issues.

[He used to work for Senator Shockwave--it sounds close enough to what politicians do.]

This, uh, is the last time I'm going to do this, since from now on I'm in charge of zoning. Speaking of which--who was it that wanted roads built again?

Is that a thing?

Anyway.

Look this over, and speak up if I made any huge mistakes.

((OOC note: If you are on the Law Committee, feel free to assume that Skids has contacted you and gotten your opinion on what branch of the Committee you want to be on~ If you aren't on the Law Committee and want to be, give a poke here too!))

I never asked you if you were an Autobot. And you know why? Because it really doesn't matter. Not here, not anymore.

I don't even wear an insignia because I don't like labels and also because one of those would also clash horrible with my looks.

So, now what? Are you going to not talk to me anymore? Try to kill me? Call me Decepticon scum? You can it if makes you feel better, I've had it much worse.

I don't know, Knockout.

It's just...taking me by surprise. In order to get used to someone's past, you have to know it first.

I could say the same about you, Skids. [In all honesty, he doesn't trust any Autobots further than he can throw them.]

Do what you want. Just give me a warning first if you decide to shoot at me, for old times' sake.

If I knew anything about my past, I'd be happy to tell you.

[Ouch, that was a sore spot. Granted, he can't imagine either of them being really hunky-dory at the moment.]

I...

Yeah.

Right.

I don't want to shoot at you, you know.

Did you forget? How so?

[Knock Out's very direct when he wants to be. He also wants to know if he has to run on the opposite direction when he sees Skids, some Autobots enjoy playing the 'let's shoot the Con' game.]

Actually, no I didn't know. But it's a relief.

If I knew how I forgot, I'd have half the problem solved. Somebody stole my memories.

[And that jackass was going to be treated to a similar end as Breakdown's killer. Or. Possibly a little more humane, since he was an autobot. Maybe.]

Well, you helped me put it in perspective. Although you failed to, you know, tell me about this semi-important detail...

You never broke into my head and took a few cycles of my life. I've had worse friends.

Hm. A cortical physic path can't do that. Deleting data without leaving a trace is not a simple task, destroying the whole mind would be easier. [He thinks all this is really interesting, do tell him more, Skids.

The one who said vengeance is not worthy had no idea what was he talkign about. Go make them suffer.]

I didn't fail, I just didn't think factions mattered here since, you know, we are not at war. And no, I sure didn't. It's not really my thing. [And that's true. Knock Out's not all that fond of cortical physic patches.]

So we are...fine?

You've got some experience with this?

[Please say yes.]

You're on the right track there. And...yeah. I guess we are fine. I mean, I can't say it's going to be easy for me to settle into it, but...if we're going to be on a new world, we're starting over here, right?

You could say that, yes. [He did a lot of monitoring after all.] You have some memories to unlock? Perhaps a cortical physic path could help to see what's in there.

[There you go. But trusting Knock Out to not make it worse is taking a leap of faith.]

Relax, I promise not to jump you in the shadows. Unless you ask nicely. [That's a 'right' for you.]

Yeah. Perhaps...

[Jumping on the trust truck isn't going to be easy, but...he might be willing to. You've been good to him so far.]

We'll talk. Again, I mean. And I think I wouldn't mind if you jumped me from the shadows...

Just give me a little warning, first. It won't do our friendship any good if I shoot you through the head, or vice versa.

[Knock Out will talk to Shockwave about borrowing his cortical physic path and getting some more lessons on how to used. All for you, Skids~ He's curious about what went in that pretty head of yours.

Knock Out smirks, dropping his voice to the deepest, flirty murmur Skids'd ever hear. He knows exactly the reaction that causes on other mechs.] Maybe I will do it one day.

Aw, you don't you like surprises? I do not like shoots to the head, though.
