[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.

Life is hard to figure out. You get something you think you want and it doesn't always live up to what you imagined. For one reason or another.

[Oh hey, it's the lady bot. ... And that's a nice way of saying Life Sucks. Better than he's used to hearing.]

I should know that by now, you would think. After being here so long.

... Has it happened to you, too?

Such battles hardly ever turn out the way one wants. At least it's over now.

I... yes.

At least there's that, I guess.

[Guess what Kagebird, in medbays an clinics is were you can find the elusive Knock Out mech. He heard the ninja talking and approached him, a datapad in his hand.]

Or maybe you are all a bunch of idiots who tried to take down a decepticon who can destroy a whole planet single handedly. But who I am to judge the Police Force's decisions, hm?

[His shoulders tense, wings mantling up behind his shoulders. He doesn't lift his head.]

Don't. Call those who gave their lives idiots.

You did. I'm REALLY proud of you.

Oi, now will you finally just accept it instead of acting like it's the first time we tell you?

[FRIENDSHIP, everyone!]

i didnt want to let you down again i wanted to come back to you

[Excuse you, you're ruining his anime drama moment.]

I did accept it.

It just didn't feel... real. Until we left.

[It was a little frightening, anyway. If you ask him, he did it with expert timing.]

Well get used to it, okay? I don't want to keep saying 'Yeah, really'.

[You were not fast as lightning.]

It would be easier if things... if things came out differently.

Hey, no use thinking about that now.

It's not gonna change things. What matters is what we do from here on out.

I know it won't. It never does.

... And... I'm sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't have been there. In time.

...

Idiot.

You did fine.

Fine isn't good enough.

Not if this... if this were your home. [Pause.] If this were home.

[You are so lucky he can't walk or he'd go over there and throttle you.]

It's risk, stupid!

You got nothing to prove to me, Kagebird. When is that gonna get through your head?

It isn't about proving myself to you.

It's... [His wings flick.] About life. Living. Keeping your team alive...

We aren't allowed second chances, back there. Do you understand?

you disd great sorry im totnly not crying

Sometimes its possible.

[He'd seen it after all.]

And I'll be damned if we don't try when we get back home.

[See: try with you.]

Kay im at the medbay one of the others needs to be baby sit do you need to come ?

How can it be?

[The corner of his mouth twitches.]

You're very stubborn.

Just trust me. I've seen it done.

[His arms fold, looking away.]

I'm told that a lot.

I'll be okay! Just really happy you're okay.

They will be back in a few days. [Knock Out shrugs. To him, this whole confrontation was a really stupid thing to do.] So will Tarn, with time. Mechs like him never really go away.

What were you thinking, though? You are going to leave the Police Force?
