Who: Knock Out & Starscream
What: Basically first meetings.
When: Some point during Starscream's first day
Where: Solus' temple to start
Notes: Totes not a date... Stop using human expressions KO. B(

[ Starscream is fashionably early, if only to give himself time to find the correct location. he stands outside the temple, looking around the area and already making comparisons between this temple and the one that he had awoken in. in the back of his processor, the scientist in him is curious if the FFs are responsible for the terrain and if it reflects upon the FF of the sector. their likes... their personalities...

it's a new experience. something other than war. that is enough for him to latch onto it and just enjoy before it inevitably backfires. ]

is inevitable a bad thing?

[But it's one of his sexiest smirks, who doesn't want to look at it? And look, they finally arrived to Knock Out's clinic.]

I'm sure that eventually you will be successful. The good guys always win, it's like they are in the good's side of destiny.

It depends on what would bring me here in the first place.

[ HE IS NOT GOING TO FALL PREY TO YOUR SEDUCTIVENESS. NOPE. he throws a lop sided smile though. ]

Perhaps. The only reason we have had a fighting chance thus far is due to the fact that Megatron saw this coming. Without him, we would likely have been terminated. Of course... Without Cliffjumper coming to us when he did, Earth may have suffered the same fate as Cybertron.

Unlike most of the other medics here, I have a life outside work and I enjoy relaxing.

[HE DOESN'T HAVE TO FALL, just saunter vaguely downwards.]

Was Megatron friends with Optimus in the past as well? The ones in my world knew each other before the war. Cliffjumper was that helpful? How so?

I... [ pause. ] I don't really have much of a life outside of work.

[ his life IS his work.

AND NO SAUNTERING. NOPE. ]

That I am not sure. Megatron had been a professor, spending his time preparing for civil war. Optronix was librarian. I suppose the opportunity was there, though I doubt it.

Chances are that I would have been one of the few that remain that had met him before he changed his name to Optimus Prime.

That's pretty sad, we need to remedy it. There's no war here, at least so far, you might be able to relax.

[Not even for a bit? Come onnnn.

And all that talking is not distracting him enough, Mister. He opens the door of the clinic for Starscream.]

Wait...Optronix? [Knock Out's trying really hard not to laugh, And failing.] What sort of name was that?

I'll relax once I get my hands on some decent lab equipment.

[ BEHOLD THE POWER OF SCIENCE.

perhaps you should just watch HIS hips then, Knock Out. because there's no hesitation upon entering the clinic... this time

otherwise, he just shrugs! ]

That would have been his name before he modified himself.

I can help with that, actually. [And he means it, he's not just trying to get Starscream to follow him.

Oh he will sure watch those hips move. And the r4st of the frame as well.]Hmmm...

The Prime I know used to the called Orion Pax. He was aboard the Nemesis for a while when he lost his memories.

Really?

[ you have no idea what that means, doctor. something like that can put a bounce in his step and make his face light up with hope. ]

You would?

[ science is his one true love, it's true. watch that frame all you want, but you can't compete with his profession. ]

...What would cause him to lose his memories?

Yes, really. My clinic has all the necessary and there's also the equipment Shockwave left behind when he disappeared.

[And some drones that Knock Out snatched for his medbay. He would be more than happy to allows Stasrscream to meddle and have fun with sciency things.]

The Matrix and Unicron respectively. It's complicated.

[ and only sciency things, right? because he is silent, wonderfully distracted by the hope of procuring items and materials and starting projects. no weapons! ]

[Knock Out's a bit confused at the lack of reply until he realizes the day dreaming expression in the otehr mechs face. It makes him smile, this time in a sincere way.]

You know, there's some medical equipment that I need to finish making blueprints for but I don't have the time or the skill. I'll welcome a hand.

[ way to catch his attention. and his expression turns from dreamy to hopeful. maybe even excited. ]

I would be happy to help out in whatever capacity that I can.

[And that makes Knock Out chuckle,. You are adorable, man.]

Excellent. Come on then, I'll show you what I got. [He motions to one of the room with the clinic, the storage room, where he keeps some of Shockwave's old materials and tools.]

There's some things here that I don't even know what are for. The laboratory is that other door we passed by, the one with a caution sign. See anything you like?

[ he is not adorable! he is simply... overwhelmed. ]

See anything I like... Surely you can't be serious...

[ the better question is... what doesn't he like? to actually DO SCIENCE. to have EQUIPMENT... augh augh who could think of being brought here as a curse? ]

[Uh uh. A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E.]

I don't always joke. Another option is to finally open that room I had ready for a proper laboratory and that I never finished organizing.

[Let's do all the science! See? It wasn't all that bad.]

Never finished organizing you say?

[ c-can he do it? please? ]

No. I'm ashamed to admit that there some tools here I don't eve know what are they fool.

[Oh, be his guest.] If you want to give them a look...

[ fidgeting with his fingers and shifting around a little from side to side. ]

If you don't mind... I really would like to at some point.

I'll be my pleasure. Perhaps one things have settles and you feel more at home in this new Cybertron? And who know, perhaps this will help you to be less wary of medbays.

That sounds good, yes. I have some others I need to get into contact with and the like as is.

[ Jetfire, mainly. but Starscream still has to meet up with Ravage and he had promised some flight time. so many things to do! ]

Though no promises about feeling more comfortable around medbays. Hook and Scrapper are not present.

No need to rush things, we have all the time in the world. [They can't leave even if they want and Knock Out feels at home here. Better than at home, actually.]

What about feeling more comfortable around medics? As you see, I don't bite. [Unless you ask.] Were they cruel with you?

I admit there are opportunities here that are not present back on my version of Earth and Cybertron...

[ he knows that he has to return eventually... but at the word 'cruel' he shakes his helm and laughs just a little. ]

No, no. Far from it. They are, essentially, the real miracle workers of our faction. As Megatron had been unable to join us to go to Earth, they stayed behind to tend to him.

That happens to me too. This world offered me the opportunity to do thing, to meet certain people, that I couldn't have done or meet in my own universe.

[Knock Out doesn't know what to think about it so he doesn't. Life's easier that way.]

They're your friends, I see. Have you meet Ratchet? The sane one, the one from my universe. White and orange, really grumpy, big eyebrows...

I am looking forward to having such experiences.

[ no, seriously. he is. he is pretty excited to help SHAPE something rather than cause more needless destruction. to MEET people and dare to HOPE for a better tomorrow for his own home. ]

...I have not met him. Not yet.

It's refreshing to see someone willing to a future here, even if temporary.

[That's nice for a change, that's for sure. Knock Out's enjoying the tranquility of not having to deal with war.]

You will like him, I believe. He's really good at his job but if you tell him I said that I will glue your wings.
