re_alignment | [Video | Knock Out's clinic]

[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.]

That's an interesting method, it could even work. Did you try it before? [Because that was also a really specific explanation of how to trap someone.]

Now,how we get close enough to him to paralyze him fast enough so he doesn't notice. Perhaps we could use one of the firelizards.

I'm just that creative. [And she may be a little vindictive.]

Either that or I can manage it. I've done it to other bots before.

[Starscream and Sentinel come to mind. But, that's not why she's here.]

But enough about that. I think we have a sickness to take care of. That is, if you want the cure to play with.

I can see that. [You say vindictive as if it's a bad thing.]

Yes, I definitely do. Tell me about it, will you? The diseases is spread by airborne transmission?

Yes. How else would so many get this sick so fast.

[Figuring out the delivery system had been an adventure in itself to create.]

The disease should die out within a week. However, this DOES present quite the opportunity, doesn't it.

That's what I figured, it seemed the faster way.

[He can only imagine, sounds like a pretty uncontrollable system.]

Oh yes. And I hope that It will teach those affected a thing or two.

I'm sure that it will.

And to hammer this little lesson home, you can always tease them with a way to prevent getting sick again.

[Plus she needs to test out her vaccine.]

So, how about it Wheels? Want a neat little formula to play with?

As long as they don't forget the lesson anytime soon. Otherwise we would be forced to remind them about what's important one more time.

Oh yes, I do.

[She just smirks at that and reaches behind herself to produce a data pad before handing it off.]

Then here you go. I trust you can put this to good use.

[He takes it gently.]

If only I had a partner like you back in my universe. we could have ruled the universe. [But no, he was stuck with Starscream and Megatron. Blergh.]

I could say the same about you.

[If she had a willing intelligent partner like him, Megatron and Tarantulas would be kissing her feet.]

I guess that just means we need to work on ruling this universe instead.

I am flattered.

[Ah, it could have been magical.

That gets a laugh out of him.] Sounds like a good plan.

You better be.

[Smirk]

Good. Just watch us, we'll be the top bots by the end of the year.

Great times to come, I'm sure. With the FirstForged gone, who could stop us? [A lot of other people, he thinks, but it's nice to dream.] We are almost there.

[The lights over the gorge can be seen already.]

No one if we do it right. [Yes, she's perfectly aware that there are others out there that would stop them. Or try to destroy them so they could take over.]

Yeah, almost.

[Her gaze turns to the light and she just smiles slightly and watches them.]

And we will. [They will worry about them...well, knowing out muses they will never worry, but think about them int he future. Maybe.]

I have to admit that I've missed this view. There's something similar on Earth, the aurora borealis, but it's just not the same.

[She nods slightly, knowing exactly what he's talking about.]

It was a pretty view. Especially when you were close to the planets magnetic poles. The Aurora just lit up the sky and the surrounding snow.

It was intense back then.

[And definitely not the same as here.]

I didn't had many opportunities to see it, I admit. Megatron and Starscream didn't let m go out all that much and when I left I didn't go so far. Thankfully the party poppers aren't here.

Snow, mh? Nice

They didn't let you go far huh? Mine didn't care what we did as long as we came running when he called. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten away with half the things I managed to pull off.

Yeah.. The snow glittered. It was almost like being there during the day. Even when it was at night.

Not often but I left when I felt like it. Groundbridges are a wonderful things. You were lucky then. I was the resident doctor, I had to be available almost at any hour.

If you want to see it again we could check Liege's quadrant. There's snow in there.

Groundbridges? Sounds better then getting everywhere by foot.

[She glances towards him with a slight smirk.]

I didn't really have a set use. So, I just focused on what I'm good at. Making sure I could survive. Which sometimes meant spying on old grape face or that stupid land crawler Tarantulas.

[Nod.]

Then next time, we'll watch the lights in Liege's area. I think I know just the spot.

It was specially useful to travel around big planets. Ironically, it was Starscream ho knew how to build those properly in my universe. That was probably the one and only thing he could do right.

I'm all in favor to survival, I always thought that was the most important thing. [Alliances and factions were more relative.] Tarantulas?

I would like that.

Huh. Starscream actually being good at something other than whining. Go figure.

[She grumbles slightly. ] Tarantulas.. was the other spider on my world. He was a manipulative backstabing slag sucking jerk. Kind of like Starscream but smart.

His plans actually worked.

I know right? it's almost a miracle.

That sounds annoying and worrisome. You were on the same team? [For a wide definition of 'team']

Yeah, if you could call it a team. He always had his own agenda, just like every other bot on the Predacon side.

[It also sounds like what Knock Out used to do, who's him to judge?]

That's pretty much how the Decepticons worked too.
