"Maybe. My FirstForged is a rather nice lady. With a really impressive...chassis." Knock Out likes big chests, sue him. He's not bothered at all by the poke, is the first time Sentinel actively touched him and he considers that progress.

It's a pity that bosses are so hard to kill defeat, hm? "That's definitelly what your side does, yes. Mine enjoys technology and Decepticon's engineering is quite advanced. Some mech can't let go of the past, though."

[primest]

"I've never even seen mine. Then again, I suppose I've only been here a few weeks." He's glad Knock Out didn't do anything to him, took him ages to decide whether or not to actually do the thing.

"Our Decepticons have been scattered for millions of stellar cycles, I doubt they have much in the way of technology scavenged."

He shifts awkwardly again. This is a topic he really doesn't want to get into with a Decepticon.

[deadlydoctor]

He takes a look at Sentinel's glyph. "Vector, isn't it? I never talked to him but he's not one of the worse ones. My FirstForged seems to like him well enough." You should do the thing more often Sentinel, Knock Out wouldn't mind.

"Or perhaps they are not stupid stupid enough to let the Autobots know exactly how advanced is their technology. Either way, it doesn't matter here so let's change the topic."

Blah, war is boring and brings back bad memories. He's happier here than in his own world, let's not ruin the mood thinking about that.

[primest]

"Yup. I'm still not entirely sure why but, whatever." MAYBE HE WILL.

"Or maybe they knew the Autobots could curbstomp them if they tried to overthrow the government again."

Sentinel could care less about Knock Out's feelings regarding the war. He's well aware of the horrors war can bring but... this is a Decepticon.

That said, after having such a friendly chat with him, Sentinel doesn't really want to think about what KO would do, as a Decepticon who was in a war. Humanizing the enemy don't sit right with him, yo.

[deadlydoctor]

"You should ask him. Aren't you curious?"PROVE IT

Knock Out chuckles again at that. "Maybe, perhaps, who knows...it doesn't matter anymore."

Is better not to think about certain things, no. "Any plans in mind? we can't leave this place, it's good to have something to do." Stagnation would drive Knock Out mad, he's glad he has the clinic.

[primest]

"I fully intend to question him on what the frag is going on when I get the chance to meet him."

He vents quite loudly and harshly at Knock Out's point. "No, it doesn't." SHRUG "Blurr mentioned the Police Force but currently I've been... researching this place via the library."

By that he means doing a lot of reading. Not necessarily even on topics that are even relevant to his interests.

"What about you, if you have a ground for then... scouting?"

[deadlydoctor]

"Do it from a distance. I've heard that some of them enjoy stepping on people thosewho disturb them." And it would be such a loss if Sentinel got killed so quickly. Knock Out thinks he's a great source of entertainment.

"Blurr? Ah, right, the guy who talks like he's high." Hard to forget. "We have a library?" News to him.

"I always find things to do. Recently I opened my own medbay, you are welcome there if you want an upgrade or you, Primus forbid that, got hurt somehow."

[primest]

((i don't remember if there is a library or not; if not then assume he's lying and spend his time stacking rocks or something))

"Yeah, I heard being a murderous demi-god is the new black." That shield of his is pretty strong! Provided it's not put under continued stress, of course.

He frowns. "You're a medic?" Decepticons have medics? Sentinel thought they just left their wounded to die in the field.

"...I'll pass. Your concern is noted but I can take care of myself." He puffs up his chest and goes to poke Knock Out again... only changes his mind half way and instead makes an awkward waving motion at him.

[deadlydoctor]

((ooc: Oh no, we have one! Trion's Library. It's actually giant and well known, but Knock Out was never too interested in it and he's forgetful.))

"Being a murderous abuser of power never gets out of fashion." Specially among Decepticons. Vectors an easy Firstforged to talk with, Sentinel won't need the shield at all.

At the question, Knock Out smiles. "Medic and tech advisor, I'm very fond of both of my areas of expertise. I know, I know..a medic who's not actually old as the Pit and who's not covered in rust? As incredible as it seems, it's true." So modest too. And yes they have medics too, you silly bot.

"The offer is still there if you change your mind." No, why did you stoop? He raises an eyebrow and gives Sentinel a somewhat confused smirk.

[primest]

"Maybe not for Decepticons." Autobots are more bureaucratically focused in his time; the Council won't authorize anything unless it's signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters.

He frowns, surprised. "I'm surprised they even let you practice considering you don't fill the criteria."

Sentinel pulls a face at Knock Out. Professional or not, he's not too keen on being put under by a Decepticon. Sorry bro, it's gonna take him a while to let all that go, if ever.

[deadlydoctor]

"Not for anybody who gets enough power. Going dictator on others is not only something Decepticons do. Even you could do that with the right motivation." Bureaucracy, ew. Knock Out's allergic to that.

"I'm full of surprises." He winks at Sentinel. "Maybe one day I will let you know some."

You think that now, Sentinel. But the others medics available, Glit, McCoy and Ambulon, are: a jaguar Decepticon, a human and an ex-Con. Knock Out might be the lesser evil.

[primest]

"No, I'd never lower myself to the Decepticon style of leadership, no matter the motivation." Not even for a million credits I tells ya!

"Like what? Are you going to give a stunning reveal where it turns out you have other things to do than bother me all day?"

Considering he doesn't know Ambulon is an ex-Con, I think the choice is clear.

[deadlydoctor]

"Not even if you could rule the whole universe and have everyoen adore you?" Autobots, so innocent. It's adorable and a bit sad.

"If I told you, those wouldn't be surprises."

Tsh, you loss then. McCoy is a good doctor too, you know. Organic-ness asides.

[primest]

"What's the point if they're doing it out of fear? I know it may come as a surprise to you, but there are styles of leadership outside of Megatron's."

Truth be told, as long as they don't involve doing anything to him, Sentinel doesn't really care for any 'surprise' Knock Out may have in store. He shrugs at the red bot and goes back to his cube.

[deadlydoctor]

"Are there, really? Fear seems to work pretty well." Knock Out knows but he can be difficult. Besides, he had to deal with mechs like Megatron and Starscream for so long that he almost forgot who's to be free to do what you want. That's one of the reasons why he likes it here.

You are safe for now, Sentinel, don't worry. Knock Out finishes his drinks, leaning back on his seat. "And how are you coping with this new planet?" He can ask normal things, see?

[primest]

"You mean, apart from literally every single other way to govern?" An optic ridge goes up.

"It's boring." There is a huge temptation to throw a massive tantrum because he wants to go home so badly. "I'm surrounded by 'bots and organics I don't know and left my universe when things were finally getting interesting again and... ugh."

Biiiig gulp of energon.

[deadlydoctor]

Knock Out's eyes narrow, making him look unusually serious, and he snaps back at Sentinel. "The other way of government I knew wasn't any better." In fact if was much worse, with the castes and all.

Feel free to throw a tantrum, Knock Out's used to Starscream doing that. "Make it interesting, it's what I do. Find yourself a hobby. The organics part, though..." He makes a disgusted face. "That I can understand."

[primest]

If Sentinel was smart, he'd change the subject, cause Knock Out clearly doesn't like it - and angering a Decepticon who is one of the few Cybertronian medics on the planet is generally a really shitty idea.

Sentinel being Sentinel, none of those things really occur to him.

"Sounds like your universe was pretty terrible."

SHRUG "Can't be too hard to find something to do, even if there are fragging organics getting their disgusting hand prints over everything."

[deadlydoctor]

Sentinel you need to learn how to read the warning signs. Knock Out's more irritated by the old system than angered but Sentinel is not helping his case.

"Aren't most universe terrible? We still changed it, though." 'We' being the Decepticons.

[primest]

"Yeah, killing the planet is a pretty fragging big change."

Knock Out is a Decepticon and Sentinel feels safe enough to be more of a dick. Sorry, bro.

[deadlydoctor]

"Oh that was Optimus's doing. The second time at least." HA! Back to you, bro.

Knock out allows himself to smirk. He misses his shinny Cybetron, how it used to be, but he won't never tell others that.

[primest]

"Mm. Sure."

His cube is almost empty. Looks like someone's gonna be going home soon!

[deadlydoctor]

"Hmm mmm~"

Knock Out sounds way too pleased with himself. He's going stay here for a bit longer and just wave Sentinel a good bye. And perhaps stare at his aft while he leaves.
