[Video]

[deadlydoctor]

[The first thing Knock Out does after arriving to the medbay is to grab his communicator. It's obvious that he needs some medical help. He looks like he's gone to hell and back, with a nasty wound in his side and most of his finish scratched. He also looks about to go into stasis at any moment and only rage (and probably paranoia) is keeping him awake.]

I seriously wonder what sort of psychological test the Police Force takes before joining because if that's how an agent of the law acts I think we are all screwed.

[Knock Out gives Sentinel a nasty look and then continues.] This pychopath here tried to kill me and...[don't mind that shuffling and abrupt jerking of the video as sentinel grabs the device out of knock out's hands!]

--cannot believe- yeah, no, Knock Out just took a nasty fall because he was speeding in the Junk Pile like a moron. Apparently trying to help mechs you see leaking on the ground counts as attempted murder now?

[He shoots the look back at knock out. screw you, buddy.] Call me a psychopath all you want, I wasn't even anywhere near you when you crashed. Nor does it change the fact I saved your life.

You're welcome, by the way.

IT WILL BE BROUGHT.

[No 1 curr about you, Sentinel. Besides, Knockout is the one with the giant hole in his torso.

Lea shrugs.]

You're the one who decided to reply when I was pretty clearly talking to someone else. That generally indicates at least a passing interest.

Unless you just get a kick out of sticking that huge chin of yours into other people's conversations. Which, given the original broadcast, wouldn't really surprise me.

Re: IT WILL BE BROUGHT.

[primest]

Considering what he was calling me? I think I was within my rights.

[GOSH tell him something he DOESN'T know]

Re: IT WILL BE BROUGHT.

[nobody_number_8]

Ah, but the relevant question is, was he within his rights to call you that? Cause from what I could see, that damage didn't look like it was just from a fall.

[A giraffe's tongue is black. Bet you didn't know that, huh, Sentinel?]

[primest]

If you've been to the Junk Pile more than once, you'd know the hills there are not stable or safe. He was unlucky and hit sharp debris during the fall.

He just can't accept that he's the one at fault for ruining his own finish.

[nobody_number_8]

Matter of fact I have. That's why I find it hard to believe he was driving really fast on a pile of junk. Because seriously, I doubt his low-slung race-car form is even capable of getting up to speed in that mess, never mind sustaining it. And the actual ground around it that he could drive on is mostly flat, so there's nothing to fall from.

So do you want me to poke any more holes in your story your chinly-ness? Cause I could go on.

[primest]

Whatever makes you feel better.

[he wasn't listening, anyway.]

Ask Knock Out for a report of what happened, seeing as everyone is so set on believing I shot him for no reason without even hearing what happened. [JEEZ YOU GUYS, MURDER IS A NEW LEVEL OF JERK]

[nobody_number_8]

Now, now... I'm not saying anything was done on purpose. From what I've seen, you've never struck me as that kind of asshole. And I'm also not saying that Knockout might not have been screwing around a bit too.

However, you do tend to be a lousy shot and have a teeny-tiny problem owning up to mistakes. So, as a fellow member of the Police Force, and someone who considers Knockout a friend, I'm sure you can understand why I'm a bit... concerned, shall we say?

[primest]

How would you know if I'm a lousy shot? Or if I have a "problem" [yup over exaggerating finger quotes] owning up to mistakes? We've spoken like... once. I mean, unless you're biased because he's apparently your friend.

[he doesn't realise it, but his feelings have been Hurt by most people's reactions to this situation.]

[nobody_number_8]

Of course I'm biased. And so are you. Everybody's biased, at least a little. You want unbiased, you can go watch a security camera video rather than talk to a person.

But regardless, I know because I pay attention. I generally pay attention to what's on the link, even when I don't reply; it's a good way to stay informed. And I've seen a few displays of your ahem 'marksmanship' on there. Though admittedly, they are kinda old examples, so I'd be willing to let you prove me wrong there one of these days.

And I talk to people. Like Blurr, for example. We got to talking a little while back and your little run in with Blackarachnia came up, among other things.

[Lea will never cease to be amazed that he and the human teenagers around here tend to be more mature than millions of years old robots.]

[primest]

I think you have me mistaken for someone else, I've had this blaster for tw months and have never used it near a camera.

[PLUS OBVIOUSLY HE'S AN AMAZING SHOT]

She lied her aft off in that interview. Anyone with half a harddrive could tell that.

[nobody_number_8]

[Sighs. Clearly, arguing with you is getting nowhere.]

Whatever. Point is, I think you both would've had to have been screwing around for something like this to happen.

I am glad you brought him back to the clinic, though, so thanks for that at least, if nobody else has said it.

[Proves that you're not a complete irresponsible asshole.]

[primest]

You're welcome.

I wasn't screwing around, I was just scavenging! Primus.
