Backbeat looks at Kick-Start, amused at this development if anything
' Honestly, I do not see this lasting... In my experience, mind control NEVER lasts... Trust me... '
He shakes his head, quietly laughing
' Always some trigger... Some insignificant thing that snaps them out of it... Ruining the carefully laid out plan... Of course this is true with everything involving Autobots... You see the trick is misdirection... '

"I know, right? The idea is not to make a past of lies, or leave a blank slate upon which anything might be written. The slightest truth will break the fallacies..."
Kick-Start keeps welding.
"The real trick is to mix truth with lies. As few lies as possible, in fact. Just enough to distort the truth. And then you can really watch their old lives squirm..."
She jigs up and dawn a little, then frowns.
"Autobots think mind control isn't torture. How like them..."

Backbeat laughs
' Personally I prefer to avoid the whole question of mind control all together... The simplest methods can be the greatest... '
He pretends to shoot himself in the head to illustrate his point, Nevermore smirks...
' Doesn't seem, what is that dumb word... "Logical"... I hate that word... SO MUCH...'

Kick-Start smirks, finishing her work on Nevermore, "Done! You should be fine with walking now..." she looks at Backbeat, "You don't like logic? Better not tell Lord Shockwave that one, or you'll be busted right down to Recruit."
She taps her cheek.
"On the other servo, I do have some stuff to do that has no point other than making Chaff look like an idiot so... logic can be overrated."

Nevermore gets up and looks at the repairs. Backbeat looks at Kick-Start
' Thing have a way of balancing out... Good and Evil... logic and chaos... Sanity and insanity... Autobots and Decepticons... Can't have one without the other... '
He adds
' Besides, Shockwave's opinion is the least of my concerns... '

Quaketread had already stood up and waited in the corner for Backbeat to ask him what he wanted to ask. The Crys-Mag Armour already going to work on any residual damage left, even using the paint around the repaired damage to restructure new paint to fill the gaps. Quaketread was unsure about Backbeat, he seemed...off somehow, but Quaketread couldn't quite pinpoint what it was. For now, he merely waited to be asked Backbeat's question, he had plenty to catch up on himself it seemed.

"Well, that's making sense. Personally, I value his opinion quite highly... But no matter what people seem to think, he's not my life."
Kick-Start chuckled, thinking about Backbeat's other statement, "Can't have Autobots without Decepticons? That's a funny way to put it..." She hitched herself up to sit on the operating table, her legs swinging, "It's either exactly like that, or it might be completely the opposite. We do after all seek to either wipe out the others, or merge them."
Backbeat seemed to find philosophy in insanity. Kick-Start hummed to herself, tossing her welder up and down in one hand, "The world is filled with opposites. Sometimes they attract. Or sometimes, they simply clash."

Backbeat lets out a laugh
' You would be surprised how often the second thing happens... '
He looks at Quaketread, as Nevermore takes out a datapad
' Now then... Quaketread... What was your impression of the Autobot forces... And please give me your HONEST opinion...'

"Same as always. Arrogant, lackadaisical, ineffective dreamers, and now it seems as if they've allied with some race of miniscule organic vermin, something the five who got in my way probably regretted at the end of their lives. Why do you need my opinion on such things?"
Quaketread was still suspicious of Backbeat's motives, but for the moment, playing along would be the best option.
"Although, one of them had a Spark ID pulse I found...interesting."

"Well, if you fellows don't mind, I've got a little something to investigate," Kick-Start took something out of a drawer. It was a bug used for monitoring people. Just that. Nothing more complicated.
She sat down at her desk and started opening it up, trying to find out what parts were inside it. This was so that she might be able to tell if Chaff had added anything special to the bugs he would be bringing to her.

Backbeat looks at Quaketread, amused if anything.
' Do tell... '
Nevermore nods in agreement.

Quaketread made sure to step aside, out of the way of anything Kick-Start was doing, before continuing.
"Anyone Sparked by the bonding of two Cybertronians will have a similar ID Pulse to those two Cybertronians. This Autobot's ID Pulse had such a similarity. I found a strong match within the Decepticon personnel files, specifically the section involving the DJD. As you can see, I found this very interesting indeed."

Backbeat lets out a laugh as Nevermore looks in shock
' Oh, This is perfect... HA HA HA HA HA! '
He stops laughing
' Names? '

"I don't make it a habit of asking the names of the Autobots I encounter, but the Pulse seemed remarkably similar to the latest entry for what I believe to be Kaon. I can't be certain with scanners, but its highly unlikely two Sparks would be so alike by mere coincidence. But I must attend to matters of my own, so if you or your companion require anything else, you'd best ask me now. No need to clutter the Medbay for too long."

"Everybody loves names," Kick-Start agreed from her work-top. Even though she looked like she was engrossed in the bug, she was listening to the conversation.

Backbeat laughs
' Good to know... '
He nods, signaling that he is done talking with Quaketread... Nevermore smirks at this revelation. Backbeat looks at Kick-start
' Life is full of little jokes... You just have to notice them... '

Kick-Start is a pretty logical person, but she can't help but find Backbeat funny.
"Y'know, Backbeat, I'd heard that you have certain... fragmentation issues in your hard drive. I could probably take a look at them, if you wanted."
It's not so much her goal to repair Backbeat as to learn more about these 'issues'.
"On that note, are you thinking what I'm thinking? Because if so, the Nemesis needs to stock up on industrial-strength rubber."

Backbeat looks at Kick-Start and laughs
' Now where did you hear that? '
He adds, as Nevermore rolls her optics
' I'll have to rain check... Other plots and scenes need my attention... And beside I make it a habit to avoid anyone poking around in my head... '

"Really? I never miss a chance for self-improvement," Kick-Start smiled dryly.
Not all that far from the truth; the femme often altered her built in her eternal quest to be taller - even though she was almost as tall as anybody who had originated from a height of 7 feet could be.
"But what do you mean? Plots... scenes? This isn't some kind of theatrical production!"

I could be assumed Backbeat was smiling, but his faceplate prevents any real indication of this
' Oh you have no idea... All the world is a stage... Or something like that... '
He begins to walk towards the door, an impatient Nevermore follows
