Fun With The Cortical Psychic Patch

[deceptionshark]

WHO: Megatron, Fracas, and Shockwave
WHERE: Shockwave's Mancave
WHEN: Shortly after this post
WHAT: Megatron decides to use the cortical psychic patch to find stuff out
WARNINGS: Zombies?

Megatron was more or less aware of how timelines work, he had been here long enough to figure it out. It didn't surprise him in the slightest when Fracas told he that he was apparently from the future. That wasn't a concern. What was a concern was that he was going to lose a good portion of his army, and it was because of a certain two Decepticons. But before he figured out what to do with Knock Out, he had to see for himself the damage they did. It was more out of curiosity than anything, as Starscream was due to a "talking to" regardless of what Megatron saw.

For now, Megatron waited in Shockwave's cave for Fracas to arrive. Never in his life would he have thought that he'd be waiting for a Vehicon of all things.

"Is everything set up, Shockwave?" He asked coolly, turning to examine Shockwave's machine.

Fracas arrives, eventually. The flight was not the problem (wobbly, but he's not crashing every second mile), so much as finding his way to the cave in the first place. He doesn't get out to Liege Maximo's quadrant often to know where things are.

At least this time he is walking through the entrance, instead of crashing through a space bridge.

He hesitates briefly upon seeing the equipment - the tools don't ease his nerves at all - until he steels himself. Something has to be done about what happened, and the cops won't do anything because of that whole 'clean slate' thing. His only course of action besides hurting them himself is taking it to Megatron. If that meant having his processor prodded... so be it. He'd do what he had to.

He stops and salutes as he enters. "Sirs."

Megatron rather enjoyed the Cortical Psychic patch. It was a fascinating tool that he had used several times to obtain information from someone's mind. Granted, he didn't think this time would be quite so interesting, the victim was a mere vehicon after all.

"I will go in." He said to Shockwave's unspoken question. Sure, Shockwave could probably do it faster and more accurately than he could, but he wanted to see what the future held himself. If he happened to explore the other parts of Fracas' mind, then so be it.

Megatron stood on the far side of the cave, examining a screen while he held his arms behind his back. His shoulders were relaxed, the anger he had shown earlier having worn off a little. When Fracas arrived, he did not immediately turn around.

"Ah, Fracas. For a moment, I thought you were going to keep us waiting."

There was a nod of that single optic as he got his reply from Megatron, stepping aside so that he may have access to the medical table when he was ready to begin.

Shockwave did turn around as Fracas entered, fixing his cool and analyzing gaze on the vehicon. He was more a red-eyed statue than anything, watching him as he enters and salutes. He'd noticed his change in color and alt mode in the past, and was equally interested in what his mind might yield.

"The equipment is ready when you are prepared.", he adds, breaking Fracas' complimentary welcome stare to address Megatron.

Fracas straightens slightly under Shockwave's gaze, wings twitching nervously. Shortly after he falters though, wings drooping and salute swiftly dropping, claws ticking together. Keep them waiting? "S-sir, I would never... not intentionally..."

He stops himself, biting back his words and exventing shallowly a couple times. It's just nerves from this. Well, from this whole thing, really. Two officers in the same room as him, waiting on him because one of them was going to go shuffling through his memories. What Vehicon wouldn't be nervous? Fracas reminds himself that it won't do him any good regardless.

"I don't come to this quadrant often, my Liege. When I do, it's. Usually by accident. I wouldn't keep you waiting if I could help it."

Megatron finally turns, looking upon the Vehicon in person for the first time. Besides his paint job, Fracas looked like any other drone his army was made out of. There was a few moments of silence as Megatron continued to examine the unfortunate canon fodder.

"Of course you wouldn't, Fracas, that would be a very unwise thing to do deliberately." A little threat here and there wouldn't hurt. He grinned and walked over to the two tables, indicating with a sweeping gesture that Fracas approach one of them. "I think it is time we get started."
