Kick-Start's Quarters
The room looks neat. Well-Organised. But there are a lot of things in it, made possible by the fact that Kick-Start is about half the size of the average Transformer.
On one wall there is, perhaps not unsurprisingly, a large poster of Shockwave.
As well as the usual things like her berth, a few paint cans and a box of spare parts, there is a small personal lab, with vials of chemicals labelled with nothing more than '1', '2', '3' and so on. Kick-Start is the one who remembers what is in each vial.
All of this looks very scientific and doctorly, but on a nearby computer desk there is a long row of disks, research and papers on a lot of Autobots - mostly Autobots with head-based designations. There is research on their movements, on their homes, on their entire lives. If one were to read her findings Kick-Start has successfully proven that the New Institute exists, and to a hideously wide extent, but certainly not for the benefit of the Autobots.
There is a book with a list of names in it - hundreds of Decepticon names and a lot of Autobot names too, written in Kick-Start's thin, scratchy handwriting with a date beside them, and nothing else. It is in Chronological order; it would be fairly hard to find out if your name was in there. They have one very worrying thing in common; they are all Cybertronians that Kick-Start has treated.
And finally there is a small group photo of six robots; a Tape Deck and five Cassetticons standing and smiling; four mechs and one femme who might possibly be Kick-Start if she didn't have a motorcycle Alt mode.
Though some of Kick-Start's activities are a little cryptic, and she certainly uses paper more than most mechs seem to, she isn't doing anything treacherous, and there doesn't seem to be anything hidden in the room. Any data only has standard password protection. Although, if Kick-Start was hiding something... you wouldn't see it.
There is clearly more to Kick-Start's life than sucking up to Shockwave.
