✘ star trek (2009) | leonard mccoy

First, my condolences: I was unable to do much in regards to helping the wounded, given my limited expertise and knowledge of Cybertronian medicine and anatomy. I... hope I can be of some assistance next time. [He scowls and scrubs his face with a hand.] Because there will be a next time, given this Godforsaken place...

Yet, if there is anythin' I can do, you let me know. No hesitations. I'm not afraid to tell you if I can't do somethin' you want or need, but I'm damn willing to try and offer what I can.

But I know some of you who so happen to be relatively human should be seeing me or coming in for a check-up. [Rose? Zer0? HMMMM?]

Also, I wanted to make a couple notes. The timing may not be perfect, but I've been tending to a small garden and have managed to grow a few vegetables. I placed them in the pantry, but they won't last too long, so get 'em while they're still edible.

[Locked to Kay, Ventus, Miko, Cody, Sari, and two certain others]

How you kids doin'? I know it's been tough, but I'm glad you're all okay. Mind comin' around for a check-up soon? Or I can come to you. [It's not really a suggestion, more so, DO IT OKAY.]

I saved a couple bundles of the vegetables I harvested just for you guys. I can bring 'em to you. Got some carrots, squash, and tomatoes. ... Well, wait, tomatoes fruit or vegetable? Hell, whatever, it's food and it's good for you.

... And: Raf? Lyra? If you see this message, please respond. You got me worried, and that ain't good for my three billion ulcers. I've been lookin' around and haven't seen hide nor hair of you. Don't make me set a search party out. I'll do it in a damn heartbeat.

If any of you kids know where they may be, you let me know. I don't care if they told you not to tell, now's not the time for fun and games, ya hear?

[Locked to the police force and law committee]

I never did... apologize. For the losses you took. And this may not mean much, but I'm thankful ya'll did somethin'. That you got the bastards who did this. But as I'm hearin' and seein', people tend to come back alive when they die, so let's pray for a little Resurrection.

[Locked to Wreckers]

It's fair to thank you lot as well. Especially for not involving Miko.

[Locked to IDW Megatron]

Got a... Got a package here.

[He looks... HMM.]

Got your name on it.

It's full of... some interesting stuff. Poetry, recordings, lots of political documents and proposals.

I didn't read or listen to 'em, no worries. But I did read one poem, I ain't gonna lie.

Purple prose is usually frowned upon in the lit society, son.

Frankly, she seems to be calming down some. If not for her recent vacation to the Badlands, I'd say she was starting to realize the gravity of the situation she's - we're - in. [big ass sigh] Kids should be out there, scraping their knees, gettin' their hands a little dirty - but this? This has to stop.

She does, yeah. I always kept her from going on missions back home too. She always wanted to go with me. [He decides not to mention how many times she wound up following him, without him knowing. Kids.]

Heh, yeah. I agree. But got my doubts this'll be the last fight here.

God, I don't even know if I want to know about the trouble she got up to in your home universe. She says she's an ambassador for your people, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact you'd choose a teenager for such a demanding, important, even dangerous job. Then again, the concept of kids is still probably new to a lot of you.

You got any idea what the next step is? They gonna give that bastard and bastard lite a trial? The Firstforged make any mention of doing a little interrogation? Or are we just going to keep them on ice like popsicles?

More or less. Back home, we're robots in disguise. Pretty much most humans don't know what we are, and we drive around in our vehicle modes unless at base. Or we keep outta sight. [Most of the time it works.] It ain't all the time, but sometimes her and or one of the other kids, have to talk to other humans for us. Uh, think Jack once called it being a 'face man'. [Does that make it better or worse?]

Yeah, definitely new, but we've gotten better. Before the kids, the only human contact we had was with a government agent. But we protected the kids and kept an eye on them when they were doing this. So they were never alone.

[As for what'll happen to Tarn and Kaon...]

Uh, yeah probably a trial. I remember the Forged saying something about they'd deal with it, especially when it came to one of us killing another. But think they're also allowing us to do our own thing for this.

I know that much, but a refresher helps. But wait - only one government agent? You didn't have yourself a whole task force? And I'm surprised they just... let the kids run around. [sigh] I just don't like it. Maybe it worked well in your universe, but kids aren't suppose to be alien ambassadors, especially during a war.

Oh, good. Personally, they can spend the rest of their natural born lives in a prison and I wouldn't complain.

Task force? Nah. The human government knew about us, and their military. But Fowler was our go between with them. [Seriously, you should meet Fowler one day. He must be the highest ranked guy in Washington, besides the President, in Bulkhead's world.]

Nah, I get it though. June, Jack's mom, felt the same way. As I said, they were either kept at base while helping, or when there was no other option. [Like Fowler being high.]

Heh, second that. Long as that Tarn guy can't talk too, I'd be happy.

Edited 2013-09-10 19:39 (UTC)

Huh. And I'm thinkin' I asked this before, but - the government, did they know about the kids? Or was it just this Fowler character? [He doesn't know if he wants to. Fowler, you shouldn't let the kids run wild! >=C]

And Jack - I heard of 'em, I think. Was he ever here?

Nah, just Fowler [McCoy, it's not as bad as it sounds. Really.] But most of the time the kids weren't around anyway. Cause they still want to school and did stuff with that. [Except on weekends. See? They encouraged them to go to school, they're not that terrible.

At the mention of Jack having been here, his face drops, saddening. He glances away from the camera a little. He's still a little sad over that kid disappearing.]

Yeah, he was here for a while.

Oh, so they still went to school - that's good, at least. Puts me a little at ease knowing it's not as crazy as some of this sounds on that Earth.

[NO IT'S BAD KIDS SHOULD BE IN SCHOOL NOT FIGHTING ALONGSIDE GIANT ALIEN ROBOTS STAY IN SCHOOL DON'T DO DRUGS DRINK MILK]

I'm sorry to hear about that. But I'd still like to do a little search around the place for some missing faces. [frowns] Raf's apparently gone missing, alongside Lyra.

Yeah, they went to school, Jack had a job. They were only at base after that stuff was done for the day. Took them back home in time for the dinner thing, and they remained home till school again, or on non school days, we'd take them to base.

[Hey, he likes having them at base, specially after they saved the bots from Scraplets one Saturday. He looks back to the camera tilting his head.]

.....yeah, noticed Raf is gone too. About the same time a bunch of people disappeared from my world. But hey, there's always that hope of findin' them right?

[He doesn't feel too optimistic after seeing so many disappear, but he tries anyway for McCoy. Might as well not dash his hopes of finding them, right?

Well, that's good, at least. Normal lives and all. Hope none of 'em got into too much trouble. [HAHA]

[McCoy kinda... smiles. It's a sad one.] Yeah. Or just hopin' they made it back home.

Yeah, Miko's not even from the United States. She's from Japan, and was over through some program in the school. Uh....excha...nge program?

[Does that sound right?

He nods with a bit of a smile at that.]

Yeah, I more like to think they went home. Then hangin' out with Unicron and his cronies.

Edited 2013-10-31 22:34 (UTC)

Exchange program, huh? [McCoy kind of winces, but hides it pretty well.] Must be missin' her family even more, now. [Now he's just getting more and more sad, SO]

But she really looks up to you, it seems. Trusts you. And so I figure I'll trust you, too. From what I hear, you seem pretty loyal and protective. You stay that way, all right?

[It's like you got approval from her father or some crap what McCoy]

Yeah, by now she is. But...she's dealin' with it okay.

[You can't see it, but his spark jumped a little at that. His expression and his eyes soften as he smiles.]

She once told me she wanted to be just like me. Why I encouraged her on the law thing, she could do better than bein' a construction worker.

Heh, I both like havin' her here, and don't like havin' her here considering all that happens. But hate to lose her now too, cause she's one the few remainin' constants I got.

Yeah. I understand. Especially when you're far from home; you don't want to lose what little you have from your own world. [He frowns] Though I signed up to explore the vast regions of space, that spot in my heart for home never did leave. And sometimes it feels a whole lot bigger now that I've come here.

[THEN, A BIG SIGH. He clears his throat.] Right. Well. Maybe arts and crafts would do her some good. Just... not to the scale of construction work.

[Bulk doesn't want to think too much on the people he's gained and lost here. But he hides it for now.]

Well, I am home. Kinda. Cybertron is my home, but this isn't the Cybertron from m world. [His expression wavers a little, but he keeps it kind.]

Oh no no. I definitely wouldn't let her into construction young as she is. Construction can be hazardous.

You ever heard the phrase, "home is what you make of it"? Home is where you feel you belong, where you're happy. It don't necessarily mean the place of your birth or where you live or lived. So even if this is your home, it really...

[Yeah, yeah, going back into sad territory, so--] Sorry. Right. I'm going to keep searching for some safety equipment hopefully the kids can use. If I find anything Miko needs or may like, I'll pass 'em onto you. [huff] Even if you got to trick her, make sure she stops by my sickbay once in a while. I'd like to keep regular check-ups, especially considering our current dilemma and all. [Being on a robot planet with robots when you're human, you see.]
