Kick-Start looked up sharply, surprised at the comm.
She wasn't disloyal to Megatron. Far from it. :oyalty to Shockwave doubled as loyalty to Megatron, and in these circumstances, doubly so.
"Ah. Yes..." she bent over Skywarp again. It was fortunate that she had nearly completed her work on him. She found the wire she was looking for, and clipped it in, then rearranged them to be safe, "Almost done!"
The final step involved the welding. This was completed so smoothly that there was barely a scratch. Then she pulled out the necessery paint andredid that quickly.
"Okay Skywarp, you're good to go! If you have any problems flying, come straight to me and I'll look right into it. Now if you'll excuse me gentlemen, I have to deal with my own mild damage, and then I have a meeding to attend..."
She hopped down from her box and sat on the side, working on her smashed lights, and repainting herself in the purple and blue.

Skywarp took a step off the berth, pulling his servo down to feel the armor plate where his injury had once been. Everything seemed to have gone well, he didn't feel any kind of pain. Making a few ped steps, he started to walk over near the exit, looking back to see if Starscream and Thundercracker were going to go to. Oh, that was right, he almost forgot something.
"I feel pretty deprived from my energon fluids. If I can't get any of the energon cubes from here, is their a bar of some sort on the ship?"

Kick-Start groaned as she finished fixing her headlights and moved onto her paint job. Skywarp had apparently missed that he had already drank two cubes of Energon.
"You're still thirsty?"

Seeing as this is a medical emergency for you, Skywarp, just take one more from that cabinet stock. Stopping himself leaning on the wall any further, Starscream uncrossed both his arms, lifting his chassis to a proper posture. It seemed everything was taken care of, no apparent reason to stick around and listen to the medic's baffling complaints and loyalty figures.
Come Seekers, follow. Let us see if our glorious leader has any missions to assign to anyone.
Motioning for Skywarp and Thundercracker to follow, he turned to the exit and departed from medical bay, now returning back to the control room.

Backbeat and Nevermore warp into the room
' Well now to get you patched up and get on with our day... '
He looks around for a medic

The Seekers would have walked past the enormous frame of Quaketread, the tankformer walking into the Medbay slowly. There was heavy scoring along his chest and collar, as well as bullet damage to his shoulderpads and forearms. With the obnoxiously loud Backbeat already inside, Quaketread resolved to standing in the corner, waiting to be seen to.

Kick-Start walks into the room, looking around her at the mess, and determining who was the most injured.
It was tempting to treat Backbeat first, just to get him out of here. But despite his size, the larger mech was probably the more urgent case. He was... tell, to put it without the maths, taller than her, and he was't going to fit on her berths.
She looked up - and up - at him, and spoke just as kindly as she would to somebody just twice her size.
"Sir, would you lie down on the floor so that I can give you a look-over?"

Quaketread looked over to the source of the voice, and then looked down to see the small femme. He often had to look down owing to his size, but rarely to this degree. Raising a proverbial eyebrow at her request for him to lie on the floor, he nontheless complied, a couple bullets falling out of his shoulder joints as he did. The tankformer lay down as requested, waiting to be repaired.

"Hey, Vehicon!" Kick-Start shouted at one of her assistants, "Give me a lift!"
The vehicon easily picked up Kick-Start so that she could reach over Quaketread. With a large pair of tongs, she started to remove the bullets. There was a limit to how much of a mess somebody his size could get into but when they got damaged, they got damaged.
"I'm Commander Kick-Start. I'm the Head of Medicine, so you know you're in good servos," she told the hulking mech as she removed the large number of bullets from him, "What's your designation?"

"Quaketread. I've been gone for...some time, I am unaware if my former titles mean as much as they did before."
The bullets were strewn across his shoulderpads and his forearms, a massive scorch mark, obviously an explosive, across his chest, as well as signs of a powerful projectile having impacted his collar, the metal scored and slightly dented from the impact. There was also a smell of smoke and some form of incendiary accelerant. It was obvious Quaketread had been in a large fire, possibly of his own design.

"There are some open positions at the top. The upper echleon has been shaken up thanks to Lord Shockwave. Not everybody takes well to responsibility..."
Kick-Start noted that while the bullets had been given a hard time hetting through Quaketread's armour, there were a lot of them. And thanks to the fire, some of them had melted slightly inside of him. She also had to reach well over to access his chassis.
"Are you a big - aha..." Kick-Start laughed at her accidental pun, "fan of explosions, Quake?"

Backbeat notices the new arrival come in, he walks over, followed by the wounded Nevermore
' So, you where the one in that pod... '
He looks at giant Decepticon
' Quaketread... is it? '

Mire entered the medbay ahead of Quaketread, though she did not bear any visible injuries. Instead, the femme favored the innured with a smirk and a chuckle, nodding at the Vehicon Elita with the crippled foot and missing forearm to seek repairs.
She herself moves out of the medbay with the uninjured Vehcion, gripping the same glowing spear Kryse had been wielding in battle.....

""Lord" Shockwave? Megatron put him in charge? Or did Starscream finally give up trying? As far as explosions go, they're a good way to terminate Autobots, and my size means my Alt Modes usually make good use of them. I don't think much about them beyond that."
Quaketread lay in silence as Kick-Start worked, looking to Backbeat as he approached and inquired about him. He found this individual annoying from what he saw of him, but he didn't give it away in his expression.
"Yes to both those questions. You're familiar with my name, so who exactly are you?"

((What is it with people and INSTANTLY finding Backbeat annoying? ))
Backbeat looks at the large robot, He remembers the last universe, and how this meeting went THE LAST TIME. He decides to not replicate mistakes of the past...
' Honestly, I just overheard you name... Though I was at Fort Worth... Impressive work with the Autobots... '
Behind Backbeat, Nevermore nods her head in agreement.
' I wanted to speak with you before I had a chat with Shockwave... Concerning that battle and the robot dragon he sent... '

"Starscream will never stop trying. And he'll never stop failing either," Kick-Start pulled out the last bullet, and then reached... well, Quaketread didn't see it, but Backbeat, if he looked, saw a black globe appear from nowhere, under her hand, "Lord Shockwave is in charge until Megatron returns. Which he may do. Or he may not. Whatever."
She reached into it and pulled out a crowbar, about three feet long. The globe vanished.
Then she wedged it under Quaketread's chassis plating and levered part of it off. Then she put the crowbar back.
She reached in, pulled out a few of the bullets that had stuck in his joints, and even one that melted worryingly close to his T-Cog, and slammed his chassis closed again like a car hood.
"Just a little final welding... I'm sure you can repaint yourself."
She closed up the bullet holes and turned to Backbeat, "Now, what's your problem, Backbeat?"

Backbeat looks at Kick-Start, he seems to be friendly for some reason.
' Depends if you ask my psychiatrist... Heh... Actually... I'm just here to learn the identity of the pod's occupant... Besides, my friend here needs some repairs... '
Behind Backbeat, the wounded Nevermore tries to lift her arm up to wave. Nevermore silently winces in pain...
' Also, have you seen Shockwave anywhere...? I have to have a chat with him about that giant Predacon... '

"You. Get on a berth," she points at Nevermore, then turns to Backbeat. Perhaps he's not as annoying as his reputation suggests? He doesn't look surprised at her height, anyway, "Lord Shockwave is in his laboratory. He's working on a personal project. Also," puzzlement crosses Kick-Start's face, "What giant Predacon?"

Nevermore jumps onto one of the empty berths. Backbeat looks at Kick-Start.
' I got Shockwave to send something to keep the Autobots and their "not so" Prime busy... He sent a giant robot lizard... And they call me insane... '
He adds, looking around at the medical bay
' I have actually just started calling it Predaking... That's what it was called last time anyway... Honestly I think the name works in any universe... '
He looks back at Kick-Start
' But a personal project huh... So I'm going to guess he doesn't want visitors... What is he doing anyway? Raising the dead...? Brainwashing...? Cloning...? ONLINE BANKING...? Let me in on the joke... '

"Lord Shockwave is doing something interesting with the captured Gearchange Magnus... And I think 'brainwashing' is only the start of it."
Kick-Start rubs her small hands eagerly at the thought. She's no sadistic torturer but she does love her invasive surgery. She leans over Nevermore and starts checking the damage. It's one of those injuries where it looks and feels painful, but isn't that dangerous. She pulls out her welder.
"I talked to the Magnus while repairing him. Gearchange's processer is just packed with out-dated ideas; it could use a good scrub."
