[Accidental video | Shockwave's lab.]

[deadlydoctor]

[There’s a surprised scream as Knock Out jolts awake and activates his communicator by accident. Shockwave’s next to him, with the cortical cable that he pulled out of Knock Out’s head in hand.

The medic stares at him, and it takes a lot of willpower to not just growl questions at his superior. For the last week he was home, dealing with Predacons, Cylas and zombie terrorcons. He’s a bit on the edge and very confused.]

We need to talk about your bedside manners. Where am I?

[The Decepticon Scientist retracts his hand, taking the time to coil up the device and set it on a tool table next to him. The room around him was mostly dark, but there were several lights focused on Knockout. Looks like he was on some sort of table..]

[Wait - table. A medical table, with a screen displaying the medic's vital stats right next to him. All normal.]

You are in my laboratory. You were brought here shortly after becoming unconscious.

[In Knock Out’s opinion, ‘he’ and ‘Shockwave’s laboratory table’ are two things that should never get mixed. He quickly gets out of the table and puts some distance between him and the bigger Con.]

Oh, that’s great really. Very sweet of you to do…[Knock Out stares warily at the lights and then back at Shockwave with a forced smile.]…Whatever you were trying to do, I think I will leave you alone now. I wouldn’t dare to disturb you while creating more Predacons and the like; I've had enough Eldritch Abominations for a life time. Now if you excuse me…

[He moves to leave and the video cuts to black.]

I have something in mind. I still have to figure out a few things but I will let you know soon.

[He tries. Sometimes.]

Good question. I can't quite understand how he managed to give them a functional spark but he cloned them using some really ancient remains.

Re: [Video | locked ]

[treacherous_widow]

Good. I'm looking forward to see what you come up with.


...Huh. I wonder if he used a protoform then.

[Video | locked ]

[deadlydoctor]

It will be entertaining, I promise.

No, he didn't. But the process of making a clone is really complex.

Re: [Video | locked ]

[treacherous_widow]

Good.

Really. It sounds like research I would like to take a look at.

[Video | locked ]

[deadlydoctor]

He's quite private when ti comes to that sort of things but you could ask him.

Re: [Video | locked ]

[treacherous_widow]

Who said anything about asking.

Re: [Video | locked ]

[deadlydoctor]

I'm just telling you to be careful. It's not easy to offend him but he cares a lot about his work and if he gets offended then the results aren't nice.

Re: [Video | locked ]

[treacherous_widow]

You're making him sound more and more like a certain web-head I knew back home.

If that's the case, then you don't have to worry.

Re: [Video | locked ]

[deadlydoctor]

Shockwave is one of a kind but I wouldn't mind hearing more about your 'friend'.

Alright then.

Re: [Video | locked ]

[treacherous_widow]

I wouldn't call him a friend. More like a slag sucking scrap heap that should be tossed into a volcano and melted down for parts.

Re: [Video | locked ]

[deadlydoctor]

Oh, one of those.

Re: [Video | locked ]

[treacherous_widow]

Yeah, one of those.

The only semi-good thing I can say about that one is he's intelligent. But, he's a step below Megatron in ego.

Re: [Video | locked ]

[deadlydoctor]

Sounds like as good company as Starscream.

Re: [Video | locked ]

[treacherous_widow]

Even worse. Starscream is incompetent. Tarantulas is scary-competent.

Re: [Video | locked ]

[deadlydoctor]

Ugh. Soundwave 2.0, great.

Re: [Video | locked ]

[treacherous_widow]

Pretty much, only he doesn't shut up.

Re: [Video | locked ]

[deadlydoctor]

Is he Megatron's favorite too? [So much disdain in his voice.]

Re: [Video | locked ]

[treacherous_widow]

Ick. Hardly. I doubt Megatron has favorites. And if he does? It's only cause he can control them better than the rest of us.

Re: [Video | locked ]

[deadlydoctor]

Mine does, oddly enough. I've heard that back in the day Soundwave was able to hold his ground when they fought him in the arena, that might be why my Megatron respected him.

Re: [Video | locked ]

[treacherous_widow]

Your's is the gladiator type huh? How come I'm not surprised.

Re: [Video | locked ]

[deadlydoctor]

He was the best one, no one was able to defeat him. He's still like that.

You can take the mech out of the arena but you can't take the area out of the mech.

Re: [Video | locked ]

[treacherous_widow]

I see.

And what about you Wheels? What were you before the war?

Re: [Video | locked ]

[deadlydoctor]

I never think about the past, It distracts from the now. It's been so much time too...

Re: [Video | locked ]

[treacherous_widow]

[She nods slightly]

Well, at least you have a past. Mine is nothing but the Beast Wars.

Re: [Video | locked ]

[deadlydoctor]

Having a past isn't always great but I understand what you are trying to say. Think about it this way, now you can be whatever you want.
