[Accidental video post /Action| Location: the junkpile/where the Pillar was standing]

[The video starts all of sudden. The image is lopsided because Knock Out dropped his communicator on the ground.]

No, not this again...I..It can't be....

[The red mech clutches his head with a pained expression on his face. He's gritting his teeth together ad if he's trying to stop his jaw to do something absurd as, let's say, splint in two due to his sudden anger and hunger.]

He doubles over as if attempting to shake off the new memories in his mind getting mixed with the old ones. There's a angry pained scream coming from Knock Out before feed goes back to black after he accidentally steps on the communicator.]

Knock Out? What's wrong? Where are you?

[Hey she's a bit worried.]

[The video is gone but the audio of the communicator is still on. However, it takes Knock Out a few seconds to actually process that he is suddenly hearing another voice.]

Go away! [He hasn't bothered looking around, too busy with his own pain, he just assumed she's there somewhere.]

[He's upset. That's understandable, so she's just going to continue on calmly.]

I am not anywhere near you, but you obviously need some help.

[Rose, this is why he likes you. You are one of the few sane people here.]

Hm...[He still looks around and relaxes slipping upon confirming that he's alone.] N-no I don't need any help. None that the other doctors here can deliver. I'll take care of it.

[Yeah she's not buying that "don't need any help" thing. Perhaps she can figure out where he is with the device. In the mean time, she'll just keep talking to him.]

What happened anyway? Did the Pillar do something to you as well?

[Tracking it would be easier.]

I a....ah? As well? You mean there's others affected? [Have a confirmation that yes, something's wrong.]

[She's already on her way to the junkpile now. Distance is a lot shorter when you have longer legs.]

Almost everyone who went down there got affected with something. Myself included.

[Knock Out's in for a surprise, isn't he?]

Dare I ask?

[Knock Out's gave up and decided to sit on the ground. He wouldn't usually do that because the dirt gets on his finish but he's too tired to stand up. He needs a few minutes before he has enough energy to head to the temple again. ]

You will see in a few minutes.

[The trip is considerably short for her now, and it doesn't take her long to find him. His back is to her as she approaches.]

Turn around.

[Hey KO, have a 20ft human female!]

[He frowns, noticing how her voice sounds closer now.

Then he turns. And then he has to look up.] ...you weren't jocking when you said you were affected.

[She arches a brow.] You should know that I hardly joke.

[She hold out her hand to him so that she can help him up.]

True.

[Knock Out stares at the hand for a few seconds before taking it and pulling himself up. He doesn't let go once he's standing, his optics fixated on the hand and his headache forgotten for a few moments. The fact that Rose is not something Knock Out can eat is helping.] It's soft.

Hm? [She looks down, noticing that he still hasn't let go of her hand.]

You mean my gloves? Good leather is usually soft.

Noticing. Must be weird for you to finally see us eye to eye.

It is certainly a different perspective.

Did you grew up all of sudden? I got a headache the moment I stepped out of the elevator and now...[He makes a face, pressing his lips together in a tight line.]

Once the Pillar was destroyed I noticed.

[Her expression becomes one of concern]

What happened?

[He's only telling Rose because he somewhat trust her and because she's not part of his diet.]

....remember that time where Barricade shot me? And why he did it? Yeah, it's happening again.

I remember. [Barricade did show off your severed head over the Link. That's kind of hard to forget.]

So right now the only ones safe to be near you are organics like myself?

I wish I could forget. [He did forget about the death itself but then he saw the video.]

I..think so... [He points to mouth, were his fangs are more visible.] Doesn't help the pain, though.
