video | post Ultimate Showdown
[Once everything has died down, no pun intended, Kagerou figures he may as well say something. The video feed clicks on to show the bird sitting against a wall in what is more than likely the medbay -- and though he is pretty beaten up, he doesn't appear to actually need to be in the medbay. Nothing is leaking and all his limbs are attached.]
[He stares into the video for a moment or two too long, debating what to actually say.]
... I've made the first arrest of my life. I was... part of a team, today. I felt... as if I had a place.
[He trails off -- this is huge, why don't you look happier, birdbrain?]
But it feels wrong. None of that was anything... [He shakes his head.] ... Maybe a stealth unit isn't made for combat like that.
[His visible optic flicks over to something off-screen.]
Maybe none of us BP units are.
[It ends there. Except...]
[PRIVATE TO: KAY FARADAY]
I'm all right. I kept my promise, this time.

no subject
[Slowly, he goes down onto his knees beside Kagerou, looking at Power Joe's sleeping form.]
I think it is something more than that. We are more than a team. You...noticed that out there, didn't you?
[His hands clench over his knees, and he doesn't look away from staring straight ahead.]
Nn..no. Perhaps not. I believe Prowl means well, but I also believe he's been through too much war.
Maybe that is what we need right now.
Do you think this would have gone better, if he was in charge?
no subject
[He looks away, as the other kneels, folding his wings closer, out of McCrane's way.]
More than a team? I... you're friends, yes. If that's what you mean.
[The creak of clenching metal fingers gains his attention again. He stares down at the other BP's hands.]
Too much war. That... we aren't made for. That those who killed your Deckerd were.
[It's awkward, and sort of hesitant, but he reaches over to pat one of those hands, in an uncertain attempt to unclench the fist.]
No. I would rather work with a robot who didn't know what made them content, than one who couldn't be, because of war.
