[Audio] Junk Pile (Back from hiatus!)

[spacerhero]

So theoretically speaking, what would you do if you, say, ran someone over with a tank and killed them?

[There's a reason the video isn't on. Shep is trying to keep it cool, and she's no stranger to killing things on purpose. But accidentally running over a raccoon that can talk while joy-riding in the junk pile... Maybe she could just pretend he was one of those pyjacks.]

People come back to life here, right? So he'll pop back up. Er, theoretically of course.

[She was currently squatting over a squashed raccoon body debating what to do with it.]

[Well Shep is a tank, but not like that.]

I'm not a robot. They're not my feet, they're my transportation.

[deadlydoctor]

AH.

In that case, acting like you had no idea what happened is out of the question. Who did you squish?

[spacerhero]

The raccoon. Rocket.

[deadlydoctor]

He's a raccoon? I thought he was a giant rat. Get rid of the course, no one will care.

[spacerhero]

[Ok, she and Rocket didn't really see eye-to-eye, but he was still a person who would be missed. There was no need to be rude here.]

He has friends. He'd be missed.

[deadlydoctor]

He will probably be back in no time. Death is useless here.

[That's why KO doesn't go and murder the annoying Autobots from his world and their human pets.]

[spacerhero]

That's more reassuring than not in this case. I'm not happy to know that if I make an enemy I can't put him down for good.

[Then again they couldn't put her down either. Not that she seemed to be able to stay dead anyhow.]

[deadlydoctor]

Neither I am, trust me. Maybe if you kill them often enough they would stop coming back.

[spacerhero]

I'm not a murderer, but if someone needs some justice to come down on them over and over again I'm all for it.

[deadlydoctor]

Who doesn't love to serve a bit of old fashioned justice? [With their fits?] I'm Knock Out.

[spacerhero]

[Shep prefers her guns but fists will work too if all else fails.]

Shepard. Nice to meet you.

[deadlydoctor]

[Knock Out is fond of drills himself.]

Likewise. You are human, then?

[spacerhero]

For the most part. I have a few parts that keep me ticking that are more machine.

[deadlydoctor]

...


[This time it takes Knock Out a few seconds to answer. He doesn't sounds hostile, but he sure doesn't sound as relaxed as before.]

Are those just prosthetic limbs or it's something else? [Like a giant armor made out of a Cybertronian corpse? >B/]

[spacerhero]

Nothing like that. I died for 2 years and someone filled me with synthetic parts to bring me back. My heart and other insides are assisted by little machines. I still look normal on the outside.

[Besides if she wanted robot armor she'd probably have taken it from a geth years ago as per Legion's example.]

[deadlydoctor]

That's possible in your world, even if the death happened that much time ago?

How does it work? [Shepard, Shepard, tell him your secrets.]

[spacerhero]

Hell if I know. Someone tried to explain it to me once but I'm an engineer, not a scientist. I fix mechanical things, not organic.
