[video | Open to action in the Hospital]

[Knock Out is in the hospital, in the middle or organizing the mess he found himself in all of sudden.]

In case anybody is having funny ideas: No I did nothing to the other organic medic. If he left, either it was on his own accord or someone forced him to do so. You all should be ashamed for making such assumptions.

[No one’s actually voicing said assumptions to the giant robot that seems to be the only medic available in the medic but Knock Out knows better. He’s also concerned that people might be questioning his abilities and newfound decency.]

Has anybody discovered what caused the explosion? I have a lot of injured patients now and no proper medical staff.

[That might not be completely true. There are other people in the hospital trying to help the injured but Knockout doesn't know them nor he trust theme and it makes him irritable.]

[There's a confused headtilt, then he seems to realize as a hand comes up, fingers brushing the bands that cover the lower half of his face.]

Ah . . . right. It's actually not a battle mask, if that's what you're thinkin'. It's just a faceplate.

[In other words, that IS his face. The bands /do/ fold down over each other, but all they expose is a fuel intake and speakers for his vocalizer. He doesn't have a mouth like other mechs. It's a long story - he'll tell you some time if you ask him.]

But anyway, no . . . doubt it's some kinda revolution. Probably just a failure in a gas main or somethin'. Could have been deliberate too, but if so, I'd guess there weren't more than one or two fraggers behind it causin' mayhem for whatever reason. Pit, there's really nothin' ta revolt against here.

I see. [Strange.] In my world it was removable. Wouldn't you like something like that? I could, maybe, work on it once I have free times. You would be amazed at the things you can do with a mouth.

[Knock Out will ask, be sure of that.]

Are you sure this wasn't deliberate to distract you from sometime else? [He knows how baddies think. He's been one.]

Eh . . . [He fingers the side of the facebands, gaze dropping for an instant before looking back up.]  We'll talk later.  Thanks for the offer, though.

[He cycles air in a sigh from his vents.]

An' no, actually . . . I'm not at all sure.  Just that I don't wanna jump ta conclusions an' maybe be wrong.  Ya blind yourself to possibilities when ya start thinkin' ya know what happened before ya really do.  It's definitely somethin' ta keep in mind, though.
