Yeah. Like you're about to do to me. What are you doing anyway? This is the weirdest interrogation I've ever taken part of.

Kick-Start turns to look at him, "Interrogation? This isn't an interrogation. Unless there's something you want to tell me..."

Just one thing. If you ever see the symbol on my forehead anywhere on someone else, even faded, you run. You run fast.

(Er... what symbol).
Kick-Start pushes her box over and stands on it, looking at Straightedge's forehead.
"Why?"

((See the symbol on Scatter's cheek? (My avatar) It's on Straightedge and Axel's forehead, Shatter's palm, and Sting clawed off hers. A bigger version of the symbol is on Shatter's avatar. I never put it in the early bios because it was still being developed.))
Because they're my family.
Straightedge said, scanning her into the database, then severing the connection to the server permanently.

"Gosh," Kick-Start raises an eyebrow, "Guess I'd better cut you loose then."
She makes no move to do anything of the kind.
"You're not grasping the situation. You think I'm kidding. You think you can intimidate me in some way."
She looks into his optics.
"I am Commander Kick-Start. I do not torture. I do not murder. I research, plan and organize. To not fear me is not bravery. Nor is it insanity. It is sheer ignorance."

You don't understand. I don't care who you are. I don't care that you're smart. I don't care that you're a Commander. I care that you've got me restrained. I just got out of the Autobot prison and now I'm back in this one. And no. I don't fear much. I certainly don't fear somebody shorter than me. You aren't some important thing. I've never heard of you before. You're just another tool for the Decepticons to use and throw away. And I'll be laughing as they do.

"Of course you haven't heard of me..."
Kick-Start hits a button.
"I AM THE DECEPTICONS!"
She's done with being reasonable. Straightedge has had his chance.
"Or something similarly impressive. And shortly, you will be one too. In fact, you'll be lots of them! As a Velocitronian Hybrid, you will be an incredible contribution to the Cause!"

It was nice knowing you.
Likewise.
It's alright, we did our best.
No we didn't....

"YES!" Kick-Start is hiking herself up. She appeared pretty sane before, but thow she's in full Gloat Mode, showing that in her Spark, she really is a Mad Scientist.
"You see, Velocitronians are the fastest silicon lifeforms known across the galaxy!" she gloats, "Yet they use no more Energon in their day-to-day living than any normal Robotic lifeform! They are incredibly Energon-Efficient! Hybrids even more so! When i incorporate this into my research, my creations will use less than half as much Energon, meaning twice as many can be produced and supplied!"
She glances at Sraightedge.
"Do you think that calls for a mocking laugh, Autobot?"

It calls for you to brake your servos patting yourself on the back. You won't pull it off.

"You had your chance to make friends and manipulate me, Autobot. But nooo, you had to be the scary tough guy."
Kick-Start logs the information on her computer.
"I'd tell you not to worry. But that would be a false reassurance. I simply need to collect some things for the initial cultures..."

You can't blame me. Last time I made friends with a pretty femme I got thrown in the brig. So yeah. Tough guy seemed better.

"And now your CNA will be manipulated to create an army. As for you 'attacking' me... I do something very special to my patients... every last one..."
Kick-Start gives Straightedge a quick shot with her EMP to numb any pain, produces her buzz-saw, then starts to open up Straightedge's chassis with precision.

"Oh, don't be such a Sparkling. I do this to everybody I treat, the first time I treat them. Thousands of patients now. Decepticon and Autobot. Some I have to open up a little more than others, of course..."
Kick-Start keeps cutting until she lifts a large square of plating from Straightedge's chassis. It shouldn't hurt at all, but having your parts on display to yourself is never a comforting feeling.

"Fussy, fussy. It's nothing."
Kick-Start pulls out a little consol and plugs it into Straightedge - most specifically, accessing his targetting system.
Then she alters the targetting system. Just a couple of lines of code. You wouldn't find it unless you were looking for it. Inputting an 'exception' line, like she has a thousand times before.
In fact, even Straightedge wouldn't be able to tell what she's done unless he had a specific scanning device to hand. Or until it might be too late.
From now on, even IF he were to escape, Straightedge will never be able to actively target Kick-Start with his weapons. The only way he would be able to hurt her with his guns is through pure unguided lucky shots - like a sniper lacking the scope - and his melee weapons, while functioning perfectly normally otherwise, would be a lot less accurate against her.
"See? That didn't hurt at all!"

"Piffle!" Kick-Start puts the removed plating onto Straightedge's chest and starts welding it shut, "I wouldn't have performed that operation if I was just going to callously kill you. You don't offline somebody just because they're not useful any more!"
She raises an eyebrow.
"Unless you want to offline..."
