Straightedge woke up, energon pumping through his veins much faster than the average cybertronian, a telltale sign of his Velocitronian genetics. He looked to Kick-Start, struggling to move as his spark beat rapidly.
You..... Help me... Or.... Or...

Kick-Start walks over to him, her heels klick-klacking against the floor.
"Firstly, why? And secondly, what's wrong with you?"

E-energon... All w-wounds and no run m-makes Straighedge a dull b-bot. F-fix me u-up.
Straightedge's insane gibberish made no sense, but a keen mind might be able to pick up he fact that he was rapidly depleting his energon stores to stay alive, not to mention the increased intake from his anatomy.

Kick-Start vents in exasperation. But she hooks up an infusion to Straightedge.
"I could just let you offline, y'know," she smirks, hooking up a drip and starting to weld shut his more damaging wounds, "But it's always nice to have one or two Autobots around to take samples from. And I do need Cybertronian samples right now."

If you're looking for Cybertronian samples, then look elsewhere. I'm a hybrid, half cybertronian, half Velocitronian. Taking after the latter mostly. But ha! You can't make me any crazier than I already am.
He's not kidding.
We're voices, Sandy. She can't hear us.
Both of you shut up. Soon as we're fixed I'm bolting out the door.
And into some guards? Nice plan, stupid.

"Well, that just makes life even more interesting for me, doesn't it?" Kick-Start pulls out a long scalpel from her personal sub-space, "And more interesting for you, too."
She studies it, then puts it away and pulls out a needle.
"Velocitron, huh? Planet of the speedsters. There's just something in your frames... it's in the innermost Energon or something..."
She jabs the needle into Straightedge's wiring and draws out Energon directly from him as he is fed fresh Energon.
"Hybrids... you think you've got the monopoly on insanity..."

I'm not crazy because I'm a hybrid, I'm crazy because I is we.
Straightedge grimaced as the needle went into him.
It's nothing to do with energon. It's my chemical makeup, my mind, my nervous system. My damn CNA. At least, that's what Big Brother tells me.
Straightedge, get your lazy aft up and get out of here.
Weren't you the one who said it was a bad idea to leave?
N- I suppose I did. Carry on then.

"Oh? And who is Big Brother?" Kick-Start asks as she studies Straightedge's Energon.

My older brother. Duh. How are you a scientist?
Straightedge laughed a bit at his own joke. She wouldn't find anything in his energon, he drank the same energon as everyone else. The speed was in his joints, his genetics, his very being.
"A question that sometimes drives me hazy, am I, or the others crazy?" Some dude with a moustache said that. I have to partly agree with him. Both me and the others are frakkin' nuts. I mean, I should be killing you and laying waste to this place. You should have off-lined us.

Kick-Start shakes her head.
"Sorry to dissuade your assumptions of Decepticons, but I'm not a murderer. I'm a doctor. And this goes for all doctors; people die when something goes wrong."
Straightedge may drink the same Energon as others, but as it passes through his body, it inevitably changes. She puts it under a microscope.
"It would be a waste of a perfectly useful body."

"Kick-Start, my gal", Raiza called in her comlink in a sing-song tone. "Anybody in your office?"

"Just the Autobot prisoner," Kick-Start coms back, "Feel free to enter."

Body. That's all that's left. My mind was lost on the way here. Ha... And like hell you aren't murderous. Everybody nowadays has killed something. You just take your time, kill them indirectly. People don't die when something goes wrong. People die when something happens, anything. There are two sides to everything, both think that they're right and everything the other does is wrong. Now lay off my energon, before I get up and take it back.

Kick-Start walks over to Straightedge calmly and grabs him by the chin, her voice soft and calm.
"I. Am not. A murderer."
Besides, he can't get up. He was strapped down as soon as she had him brought in.

Take a look around you. Now tell me again you aren't a murderer.
Straightedge had seen the numerous bodies, energon, and the like. Many of them had to be offed in the very room.
You've got bodies hanging from the ceiling. And you're telling me they're just for decorum? You had to have killed some of them.

Kick-Start laughs at him.
"I don't need to kill them. They were dead already. Thanks to your Autobot friends. The sight may be gruesome, but I don't exactly need to add to the slaughter."

It's murder enough to experiment on them. Now let go of my face before-
Straightedge's optics changed from the usual blue to a thick yellow, and his voice deepened slightly.
Glitch. We bury our bodies. We let them rest. This, this is immoral. This is gruesome. I know your type, you don't need to add to the slaughter, but you do anyway. It's disgusting. Laugh at any three of us again and I'll make sure the only thing you do is fear for your insignificant life while you shiver in a corner.
Nice one John.
Shut your mouth, stupid.

"Ooooh. Big words coming from a guy who's strapped to my personal lab table."
Kick-Start taps some buttons on a pad, and a little 3D picture of Straightedge's CNA comes up, revolving on a large screen. She keeps scanning his CNA, searching for interesting factors.
"In fact, one might even say you're about to become part of the Great Decepticon Cause..."
She giggles at her own personal internal joke.

Straightedge, or rather, John, spits at Kick-Starts general direction, not caring that it likely wouldn't reach.
Sic Semper Tyrannis.
John! Stop it! You'll get us killed or worse!
I'm dying with dignity, dammit.
