[Video | Knock Out's clinic]

[deadlydoctor]

[It's been a while since Knock Out posted on the network. The medic has been busy testing out Solus’s gift. Now he’s smirking as the air still feels perfect and cool against his hand. The hand that he’s currently holding close to a really hot light source that should, at the very least, mess up his finish.]

This thing sure will be useful. [His attention gets back to the camera. Knock Out turns off the light source and puts away the flat metal device capped with a Solian purple gem that he was holding with his other hand.]

Looks like there’s some sort of epidemic going on and it affects both organic and robotic organisms. If I were you I would stay inside my room until things are cleared out. Unless you want to join the large number or residents in Solus’s medbay of course.

And talking about that…I can’t state often enough how much of an ill idea is to keep all your medical equipment and your medics in the same place. You might as well paint a giant ‘X’ on the door and write 'blow it’.

I got two new job openings in my clinic now that Barricade decided to play Indiana Jones and Flonne left a few weeks ago. More assistants are always welcome.

[He smiles some more and then turns off the video.]

Assistants hm?

[He crosses his arms.]

I'll consider it perhaps. I'm working on a project currently, but after that's finished, I'll give it some thought.

[deadlydoctor]

My co partner left and the droids I have can just do so much.

[Knock Out raises a brow, he wasn't really expecting Ratched to even consider it. He's not sure what to think about the idea himself. His attention is caught, though.]

What sort of project?

[neededthat]

Synthetic Energon.

[He holds up his hands to stop any protests.]

I didn't have the formula memorized, but that was because I was under pressure when I created it.

[And cue the long pause and the pointed stare.]

I'm helping someone with it.

[deadlydoctor]

[Knock Out was, in fact, going to protest.]

We have plenty of energon here, why do you need to refine the formula again? [He doesn't see the point even if he might have tried to reproduce the formula himself.]

Please tell me it's not Perceptor.

He gave that to Skids once and the mech acted like an overcharged protoform that couldn't decide if he wanted to punch people or hit on them. He might have tried to do both at once. This why I don't let him go near mine. [Because yes, Knock Out has some bottles of your precious green energon.]

[treacherous_widow]

So you're looking for an assistant. I might be tempted to sign up.

Plus you're just the bot I want to talk to.

[Private]

[deadlydoctor]

I'm open to suggestions but the key point of the clinic is to cure people's sickness, not make them worse.

I figured you might. You've been a bad girl, didn't you?

Re: [Private]

[treacherous_widow]

Is it? I hadn't noticed.

I'm always a bad girl so you might want to narrow down what I did this time.

[heartdive]

I'll take my chances. There's no way I can stay cooped up in my room.

[deadlydoctor]

Hey, Kid.

Do you know the slightest about medicine?

[heartdive]

Sora.

[ gonna be habit now. At least it isn't huffy like last time. ]

Only thing I know about that stuff is how to cast Cure spells. It's all I've needed.

[0perator]

Is anybody showing signs of behavior changes? Last time I saw anything like this, it was an airborne nano-virus and it kinda sparked a minor war.

[deadlydoctor]

[That gets a raised eyebrow.] No one so far. That sort of behavior change is something the Lambda would cause. This time It looks like it's a common flu.

Tell me more about that nano-virus. [He's really interested.]

[0perator]

Remember when I was telling you about genocidal whackjobs? Everyone's favorite was this asshole named Sigma, and he developed this airborne strain of a virus that basically, yeah, makes people act like people here do if they don't have a glyph. He released it around the same time he decided to drop a major colony on Earth, so it wasn't a fun time...

I don't know, but I'd be on the lookout anyway. It could take a couple weeks for behavior changes to stick with the Sigma Virus.

[Action? Since she's probaby at the medbay by now.]

[originaldragoon]

[Rose is sitting up on one of the human size beds in the clinic, with blankets wrapped around her, when she hears Knock Out make his post.]

I do not think telling people to stay in their rooms is going do much good, since illness is spread through the air sometimes.

[And here comes another coughing fit from her.]

[Action! and yesss]

[deadlydoctor]

[Rose you look positively awful and the only reason Knock Out goes near you it's because he can't catch anything from an organic. Probably. If he gets the antidote from Blackarachnia you are the only person he would care to fix.]

Yes but we don't know if that's the case yet so take that as a preventive measure.

[He would pat your back but he could accidentally kill you in the process. He can, however, handle her a handkerchief.]

[Action!]

[originaldragoon]

[She'll gratefully take that handkerchief and covers her mouth. Finally the coughing subsides.]

Soa that hurt...

Do you have an idea what is causing this?

[organ_pharming]

Considering the quality of your medical skills, I should think you'd be looking for a talented surgeon- not an assistant.

[deadlydoctor]

Funny that you are the one saying that. [What do you even know about his talents, he wonders.]

Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, Pharma.

[organ_pharming]

Is it? [He's told you before of how amazing a surgeon he is. No need to repeat it.]

I was just offering my services. With the stipulation that I be in charge- not as an assistant.

[letmefixyou]

An epidemic? How exciting!

[too bad he has no idea it's only the flu.] If anyone dies I'd be happy to deal with the corpses.

video

[deadlydoctor]

Oh yes, a blast. [Knock Out would be more worried if he didn't know who caused it.]

If anybody dies, the acolytes will beat you to it.

Re: video I HAVE NO SAD ICONS

[letmefixyou]

Tch. Those annoying-

[he trails off abruptly, looking kinda... sad?]

video

[cec_engineer]

I can... probably help with the human patients? We were given basic first aid training.

[he sounds a bit nervous.] Uh, I wouldn't mind learning about Cybertronian anatomy if it would help.

video

[deadlydoctor]

That would be really helpful. My knowledge about your species is limited. [Limited to torturing a sociopath man out of revenge. And the Internet.]

We could teach each other then.

Re: video

[cec_engineer]

[isaac smiles.]

We can try.
