[So he'd made it. He'd made it, he was alive, and he was still here. He could see the distant temples from the mountain he stood on, some ancient and run-down building in ruins behind him. Despite the dilapidation, there is a very new 'STARSCREAM FOR OVERSEER' poster tacked onto the wall within his view...the perfect place for a high-flying, far-ranging jet to test out non-permanent adhesives without anyone noticing.]

So.

[He begins by reaching out, aiming, and completely blasting the wall and accompanying poster.]

Is there anyone who actually intends to vote for Starscream?

[Knock Out knows what happens when he doesn't call Megatron by some respectful title, though.]

That would be correct, sir. A medic and tech advisor. [The red mech smiles, studying Megatron. The looks are different from the one in his world but a Megatron is a Megatron and all of them have a powerful aura around them.]At your service.

Did you just arrive?

[megaton]

Mmm and do you have a designation under all that shiny red paint?

[You do look good in a smile, Knockout, and he can always use a few medics.]

I arrived about a cycle ago, actually. Climbing this mountain was not easy.

[He frowns, looking down.] Getting off of it won't be a joy, either.

[Who doesn't need a sexy good medic around? He smiles at Megatron.]

Knock Out. I try to live up to my name.

No, I can imagine it wasn't. [The red mech looks slightly confused.] Can't you turn into your alt mode and fly away? Are you injured?

[Video]

[megaton]

Which interpretation?

[You're one to watch out for, at least.]

Yes, I can, and no...I'm not.

I simply have an aversion to miles of air between me and the ground.

[He doesn't see wings on you, either, which is interesting.]

[deadlydoctor]

I could tell you but that would ruin the mystery, sir. [He doesn't look like the tallest of strongest of mech but he's sure something to look at, so take a guess.]

Ah, that I can't understand. [Knock Out is one of those rare cons with a car alt mode. He's happy this way.] Good luck getting down then. Might I ask if there was a War in yours world as well?

[Video]

[megaton]

Then I'll have to visit you in person. Where do you reside?

[He's never been in any of the temples. This is going to be interesting, when he finally gets around.]

A war?

Oh, yes. The beginning of the end--to injustice, to prejudice, to the subjugation of individuals because of their class. A war against the weak, and the stagnant.

If I were there, now, it would be a war to behold.

[Especially with the knowledge he'd since gained.]

In many places but I work on Solus's temple, I recently opened my own clinic.

[Knock Out has more than one room because he doesn't want anybody to know where he really goes at the end of the day. But the clinic is a good place to find him.]

You have a way with words, sir.

[Video]

[megaton]

And do you charge for your services?

[He is interested in the monetary system...this seems as good a way to ask as any.]

There was a time when I believed words would solve the problems that we faced.

...

Obviously, that changed.

[Video]

[deadlydoctor]

Not currently. There's no currency here, yet, mostly because we have plenty of energon for everyone. We should establish a proper system.

[He's been thinking about it for some time. So far he asks favors in exchange of important things.]

Wouldn't that be an ideal world?

Too bad.
