"STOP! STOP! MAYBE I-" Kick-Start's words are cut off with another scream, "MAYBE I CAN MAYBE I CAN-" she screams and thrashes again against the chains that spread her out so vulnerably, "MAYBE HELP YOU!"

"M-maybe... AUGH!" Kick-Start thrashes again, her body heaving with sobs, "M-maybe a little- OH STOP STOP STOP!"
The pain has only really subsided enough to give her the ability to think about it. But every time she tries to get through a sentence, she can't before she's shocked and left screaming again. Finally she manages to nod a little bit.
"Uh-huh..."

The shocks cease.
Kick-Start is moaning softly in pain, limp in the restraints. It's pretty unlikely she's broken in... but now she's aware they can and will hurt her until she does obey.
"I... I'll h-help," she groans, her frame trembling. Where the cables are still attached, there are deep burn-marks, "Wh-what... do you w-want..."

The door to her cell opened again and a mostly complete Autotrooper corpse was rolled in, along with an assortment of tools. "We can put the pieces together, but we don't know what makes them tick. Our records identify you as a "medic" so you're going to help us examine and reverse engineer these mechanisms."

Kick-Start groans as she raises her head to look at the body, "You're making a mistake. And... your first mistake is that Cybertronians aren't just technology... we're also biology... Even my Vee-Twos are... more than meets the optic..."

Kick-Start shrugs as best as she can, "Please yourself. Biology. It involves physiology, genetics, morphology... We grow, we adapt, we self-repair... If you take the parts of a human, and... sew it together, will it come back to life? Biology."

"If we disassemble you and reconnect all the pieces, you will work again. Technology. Enough of this, you have work to do." The chains connecting her to the wall extended out, freeing her to move, but still keeping her tethered to the back wall.

Kick-Start slumps to her knees, shaking. She can barely move thanks to the stress her body has been put under. But if they won't listen to her, then it's hardly her fault if something goes horribly wrong.
And on the plus side, she does have an excuse to carry out all the experiments she's always been tempted to do so, but didn't want to be that much like Shockwave.
Servos shaking, Kick-Start manages to pick up a delicate welder, trying to steady her voice.
"I understand human code is... binary based. Because your computers were too weak to handle more. Cybertronian code is more than that... more than two numbers... also it involves our alphabet..."

"That was true at a time. But we have more advanced computer codes now, based on hex systems and further."

"Hmmm..." Kick-Start's stubbornness starts to kick back in, for she's far from obedient yet, "Then if your code is so mighty, why do you need me to show you how we 'tick'?" she asks nastily.

"We never said we couldn't figure out your software. It's the mechanics we need, how all of the systems interact."

Kick-Start sags a little, sitting down in front of the body of an Autotrooper, "Robots building more robots. Now we're just all out crazy talk..." she picks up an arm and shudders. Like Vehicons, their personalities are almost non-existent, but it's still vile to think of its fate on a dissection table.
"This is awful," she informs Dyson, "Did you even turn off their pain receptors before you started?"

"How honoured I feel," Kick-Start growls, attaching an arm to a torso, "You're a monster," she tests a newly attached joint, "And I want to go back home."

"I talk to military mechs all the time. I make military mechs. They all want to come home, or they wouldn't be proper military mechs," Kick-Start adds a leg to the torso. She opens up a head and studies a processor, "Wow, the Autobots really suck with their Autotroopers' RNGs. I've seen six-sided dice with better combinations."
