re_alignment | [Video | Solus's temple

[Knock Out’s back from the death and sitting in an office chair. His firelizard, looking much calmer than the last time, is dozing off on his lap. The medic pets his wings distractedly. There’s no point on hiding his Breakylizard anymore, everyone could see him in the last post he made.]

I thought I got rid of this place but apaprently I can't have nice things. I can also see that the pillar is still out there. It’s been weeks, how's that the thing's still standing? [Weeks to him, anyway. Some really crazy ones with all that final battle, Megatron dying and him switching teams.]

Barricade we need to talk about your anger issues and how you owe me a big one.

[Yeah, yeah, he tried to eat you but he still considers blowing up his spark and cutting off his head a disproportionate retribution. That’s a video he won’t like to see again.]

Aside from that…let’s not talk about the past.

[Locked to Bulkhead.]

That sure was an interesting experience, teammate.

[/Locked to Bulkhead.]

[Locked to Skids.]

Tell me someone killed you too. [Otherwise, he knows what might be happening to your persona.]

[/Locked to Skids.]

[Locked to Fracas and Ravage.]

[Knock Out is clearly having a hard time letting out his next words but he finally manages to do it.] I’m sorry.

[/Locked to Fracas and Ravage.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Knock Out stares at him, linefaising, as he waits for the other mech to have a realization.]

Did you miss the fact that Ambulon's chipping actual paintjob show how he was originally purple underneath? Yes he was a Decepticon and switches sided and that's why Tarn targeted him. You should watch your back.

[Have some linefacing in return.]

Did you miss the fact that I've had pretty much zero contact with the mech? No, I haven't paid any attention to his fragging paint, Knock Out.

[And a headtilt as he studies the medic.]

I do. And I have others I trust who've promised to do the same. [a mild, sardonic smirk] Autobots and Neutrals, no Decepticons, funnily enough.

Are you actively planning to change sides completely, or just go Neutral? And what the Pit brought this up?

[Morbid curiosity, if nothing else. Not like he can argue. The only reason he's still wearing his is because Four bears the brand now, and he won't "abandon" her ~~that and he's too afraid to find out what that one Megatron would do to him if he did...not to mention Tarn, not that Tarn can do anything anymore.~~]

This death was posted in the network by someone so we all saw it. It was a message, an a pretty obvious one. I thought the whole Police Force investigated it...I guess you were busy that day.

Very funny. [Or you know, just ironic.]

No, no planning that at all. I kind of already did, in my universe...But the Autobots here that are from my universe doesn't really remember it.

[Knock Out never really had a Decepticon brand, he didn't really have to worry about that.]

Busy searching, yes. I'm not the one who found him.

[He shakes his head. This isn't getting them anywhere. The last comments, however, definitely get his attention.]

You did? Hm. Well, I doubt anyone can really tell unless you outright tell them. [Since there IS that whole never-really-had-a-brand.] Do what you've been doing, and if anything happens, call for help. I can't guarantee you'd not be attacked any more than I wouldn't, but I can guarantee that anyone on the police force will respond if you are. It won't be tolerated.

[He won't state it unless maybe directly asked, but if his tone's anything to go by, Knock Out might read in that should it happen, the Seeker will be at the head of any response.]

Ah, I see.

I'm good at keeping a low profile when i have too. [Which is not all that often. At teh suggestion, though, he snorts.] Help? Ha. Who would help a bot like me? Please. Prowl is in the Police Force, I doubt he would even raise his optics from his datapad if I called for help.

[Sorry, Thundercracker, he had too many deceptions in his life to trust anybody so easily with his well being.]

[The Seeker gives a rough snort of his own.]

Prowl, no. I doubt he'd raise his optics for most anyone. Definitely not a Decepticon, or one still believed to be. But there are others – Blurr, McCrane, that kid Drill Boy… There are some good mechs who'd help regardless of faction.

[He's been burned and beaten enough times, he completely understands. Though at the same time, it's exactly why he's being quietly adamant about it. Because some of these mechs /have/ earned his trust, and deserve Knock Out's if he can bring himself to give it. TC's not being pushy though. Again, he does understand.]

McCrane doesn't seem too bad, neither does Deckard. I don't know the others all that well. But they're not Cybertronians, would they really be able to do anything to help at all? [He very much doubts it. Always the cynic.

They make quite the pair then. Knock Out really wants to believe him but it's hard.] I guess I have to wait and see. I'll know for sure if the Cons try anything.

Mn...Deckard, right. That blue one. There's a yellow one too . . . can't remember his name. [He shrugs.] Haven't seen much of that Deckard kid yet, but McCrane's good. And Drill Boy made a pretty good accounting for himself when we went after Tarn.

[He shrugs again.]

They're not Cybertronians . . . in this case, seems like that's an advantage. They're neutral, not caught up in the old civil war. And from what they've told me, they were built to fight, to take robots their size and bigger, so taking on a Decepticon - or more than one - wouldn't be out of character for them.

But whatever. Hopefully you won't have to find out, but if you wind up in over your head, you could hardly be worse off calling someone, I'd think. Again, depending on who, of course.

The yellow one is Bunny, Power Joe. He tried to race with me. Did you know that he transforms into a power shovel? I'm still laughing. He's okay too. [He has fun when they talk, that's enough for Knock Out.] Didn't Drill boy get Killed?

They're also easier to kill than us. Right? Humans made them, how strong can they be? I never saw them fight. [He really wants to believe you Thundercracker but he knows better than gets his hopes up.]

I guess you are right.
