Since Tesla Arc's act of treason against the Decepticons, the mech has been given a home within the Autobot base. But giving a former DJD member privacy in a normal living quarters might as well just be a death wish. The idea to give him some form of living space in the Autobot-controlled Antartica prison was a good idea at the time, but that lead to the possibility of putting his own life amd others at risk if the DJD came knocking. So it was decided to make use of an abandoned sector in the base of High Grand.
The cell is basic, three walls with a forcefield (that could be turned on or off) replacing the fourth wall, and a standard recharge slab. The cell is occupied by a security camera directly opposite the cell to keep an eye on the DJD member.

The forcefield was deactivated for Tesla Arc to into the cell. Once the former Kaon had entered the forcefield was closed again. The mech sighed as he walked over to the recharge slab and sat on it. The mech placed his elbows on to his thighs and his servos on his face as the mech rubbed his blackened optics. After a few minjtes of doing so, the mech lowered his servos and looked down at the generator on his chest. Oh how easy it was to simply remove it and end the suffering of everyone he met and loved.
But that was the easy way out, and he didn't deserve it. The mech then averted his gaze to the insignia of the Decepticons on the side of his berth. It was the same insignia he once wore. Kaon looked down at it as the lighting in the room covered his face in darknesss, hiding the murder's current expression. A single drop of energon hit the Decepticon logo as the mech clenched his servo into a fist, crushing the insignia.

"Oh, Kaon baby, don't you dare give up!" Nickel scolded him, "There's no point in giving up after ypu've started something. It makes everything a waste of time!"
She too had been escorted into the cells and was sitting on a chair, her feet a couple of feet off the ground.

Kaon looked up at Nickel as she started talking. He was taken by surprise. He hadn't even noticed she was there. He let the words sink in and sighed. His posistion became more slouched as he did. He looked up at Nickel and shook his head in disagreement of her words. What did he start? He wasn't the first Kaon to work in the DJD. Neither was Vos, Helex and Tesarus. He lightly groaned as he stood up and began to look at the wall, his back turned to Nickel. Before he would say anything, he'd have to get Nickel to speak a bit further.
"What have I started Nickel?"

"You've started nothing, Kaon," Nickel dropped down off her chair, walked over to Kaon, and climbed onto the berth to sit beside him, "Nothing wrong, anyway. It's these Autobots. They're so dishonourable and disorganised! They obviously think a great deal of themselves too..." she took a small metal hankerchief out of a pocket.
"Now stop sniffling and feeling sorry for yourself! You're a man, not a sparkling! Wipe your optics," she ordered him, "Now blow."

Kaon... Urgh.
Tesla Arc thought to himself. He couldn't really complain about it. Not a lot of people knew his real name. Besides, the title was passed down to Skidmark. That was his name now, not his.
"What about Skyspray?"
Tesla Arc said as soon as Nickel said he did nothing wrong. Oh how much did he think Nickel was wrong. The mech turned to the minibot
"What I put him through day and night. You've seen the damage yourself and how much time you put into fixing him. And what did it pay off? Vos' and Tesarus' deaths. And it won't be long before he'll get rid of Helex. The problem has never been the Autobots. It's been me. If Skidmark and Array never found my body, if I had refused Tarn's request to become Kaon and kept Skyspray safe then a lot of people would end up fine."
Kaon then threw the crushed badge to the forcefield. It pinged back and rolled along the floor. He wasn't in the mood for following Nickel's orders. He was just angry at himself. He allowed Skyspray to become the mech he was. Kaon sighed. If only she was never killed.

"What about him? Skyspray has pierced his knees with guns and he's the leader of a collection of thugs," Nickel put her hanky away, "He thinks altogether too much of himself. He could do with being taken down a peg or two, even if by his own command. And you should never blame yourself for the deaths of others. At least not if you didn't kill them."
Nickel seated herself more comfortably.
"Primus gave us sentience for one reason only - to choose our own path in life. Whether that path leads to our salvation or our damnation is irrelevant; it's our choice, and we have to take responsibility for it. But we're not responsible for the choices of others. Now, are you going to choose to sit here and snivel for a past you can't change, or are you going to buck up and take control of your future?"

"And we weren't any different?"
Kaon shook his head as he sat down again. He couldn't blame Nickel for still believing the Decepticons were right. If he didn't torture Skyspray, then Vos and Tesarus would still be alive paused in thought. He vented in and vented out. Nickel was right. He had to take control of his future. He stood up. Vented in and vented out.
"You're right. I do have to focus on my future."
He paused as he turned to Nickel. He was ready for what she'd have to say next.
"And the first step to doing so would be for me to renounce violence."

"I... beg your pardon?" Nickel asked. She sighed, "No, I won't stop you renouncing violence. But that's a big step, Kaon. How will you manage to keep that up without dying horribly, when we're in a war? And before you say something silly like 'become an Autobot'..." she wagged a finger sternly, "I'd advise you to remember that they are just as focused on this war as we Decepticons must be."

"What makes you think that I'll ever become an Autobot? I have more reason to not join them than most would."
Kaon said, his tone not changing. He had to question on why Nickel would think that. Then again, a pacifist going out into the battlefield didn't work. What puzzled him more was Nickel saying that the Autobots were as focused on the war as much as the Decepticons should be. The mech crossed his arms as he frowned.
"And what of it?"

"Because this good treatment you're getting is just a typical example of a certain kind of converstion - they treat you well, and you find yourself falling in love with their cause. Soon enough somebody weill come waltzing in, thinking it's a fine idea to join them and save yourself. They just want another opportunity."

"Ha!"
Tesla spouted out. Even if he wanted to be an Autobot they wouldnt allow it. The mech looked down at Nickel. The mech saw the concern in the femme and immediatly felt bad. He sighed.
"Sorry. I know you're worried. But trust me when I say I'll never join the Autobots."
Tesla Arc could understand why Nickel would be concerned. After Prion, the DJD would be like her "safe-haven" or family. But that family was torn away thanks to Kaon dying.

Nickel patted his hand, swinging her legs on the bunk.
"I hope you're right, Tesla. I most surely hope you're right."
She hung her head a little.
"Sooner or later, somebody will come in and act like family. Don't let claims of 'you're adopted' and 'energon relations' fool you. Family is family, and it has nohing to do with little pieces of paper."

"I know I'm right."
Tesla Arc simply stated as he turned around to look out of the cell, seeing if anyone was to come around. The mech took in Nickel's words on family. He knew what Nickel meant but he was unsure by why she said it. If anything, it was him who came up to Skyspray and started like family. The mech turned around to look at Nickel with a raised ridge.
"What are you talking about? I understand what you mean, but I don't understand the message you are trying to convey"

"I think the Autobots will try and convert you to their cause," Nickel replied, "Skyspray may use claims of family to do it. He's adopted. I've cared for him deeply in the past, but he's the enemy now. Don't fall for it."

"Skyspray is not adopted."
Tesla Arc interrupted Nickel with his arms crossed. Nickel could very well be right. It would be very likely that the Autobots would try to get someone as infamous as he was. Yet what could Tesla Arc do? He was a pacifist now and he was serious about being one.
"I'm a NAIL now, Nickel. There are no enemies except for Tarn, Crucible, Skidmark and the replacements for Vos and Tesarus. They want my head regardless if I come back crawling begging for forgiveness for my actions. Besides there is nothing stopping you from leaving me. It would be much safer for you. Anyway. I'm going out for a walk."
Kaon said as he deactivated the forcefield wall and walked down the hallway, heading for the command centre.

Nickel sighed. She needed to think this over. If Tesla came back alive, she would join him. If not... well, she would be here for a while longer.

Tesla Arc walked back into his cell, clutching his side. Getting hit by Skyspray's hammer didn't exactly feel like a gentle breeze of wind. The mech groaned as he made nis way to the bed and as he sat down on it. The mech closed his eyes as he tilted his head back. This wasn't exactly the worse pain he had felt. Cutting out his own eyes out of fear of the senate seeing everything that he saw. Getting punched through the chest by Fortress Maximus at the battle of Simanzi. He could go on, but he was expecting a rant from Nickel. He didn't want to hear it so he might aswell speak now before she did. Or interrupt her if she had already started.
"Nickel? Do you know my name? Not the name I was given by Tarn when I joined the DJD. My real name."
