1277/Exams

**Jazz has posed:**
Jazz walks in with a deliberate stride. "Ensign," he says very evenly. Then looking over at Healthpoint he says, "Ah, you are here too? Great."

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock would look up from her work at her desk, to Jazz, her finials perking upward as she gives a proper salute. "Jazz, sir, how can I help you? Normally I have to pull screws to get you in here normally." She'd say with a cheeky smile. Starlock nodded to Healthpoint and smiled, she looked rather relaxed, if not in a content mood.

**Healthpoint has posed:**
      Healthpoint blinks in surprise as Jazz walks in. She quickly puts down the training manual on recalibrations that she was reading and stands straight before giving a sharp salute. "Major General, sir!" she exclaims, then calls out to the rest of the medbay, "Officer in the room!" before standing at attention. "Y-you...were looking for us, sir?" she asks, seeming a bit anxious about that. What would a high ranking officer want with her? Starlock she can see, but herself?

**Jazz has posed:**
Jazz pauses then looks between the two and after a moment he relaxes just a bit. "When is the last time you have done physicals down up here?"

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock pauses on that thought, and brings up the records on her computer. "That's a good question actually." She'd say as she started looking for the most recent date.

**Healthpoint has posed:**
      Healthpoint is also caught off guard by the question. "W-well...whenever someone comes in for repair work we of course measure all their physical data, but...actual scheduled physicals have fallen out of use, I think?"

**Jazz has posed:**
Jazz nods and turns towards Starlock and says pretty evenly. Yet it still may sound like and order, "Everyone. I want physicals for everyone one. Get them in as soon as you can. Eh. Vry. One." he looks back towards Healthpoint. "I want these as thorough as possible. Down to the smallest parasite."

**Starlock has posed:**
     "If that's the case then, yeaah we really need to start doing that again, specially after what happened with Nightlash." Starlock hisses in annoyment. She would nod in agreement with Jazz and Healthpoint, but then groans. "Getting everyone to come in will be a production number though." She'd sigh, running her hand down her face.

**Healthpoint has posed:**
      Healthpoint definitely looks a bit worried as well. "Especially certain...stubborn mechs." she adds to Starlock's comment before blinking and stiffening again. "B-but, we will get it done, sir!" she adds, her voice once again in 'addressing a superior officer' tone. "Even if we have to sedate them and drag them in!" She hesitates just a moment. "Is there a deadline to this order, sir?"

**Jazz has posed:**
Jazz considers Healthpoint for a moment then says, "Just as soon as possible. I want specs on each and every bot," he turns to leave but then pauses. "I also want this to be a regular thing. I want all the bots to know when and where ever mega cycle that there will be physicals. Got it."

**Starlock has posed:**
     "You mean Blurr and Hot Rod." Starlock says flatly, Starlock then flinches at what Healthpoint says in regards to sedating. "Uhhh lets not, and say we did, I don't want to get yelled at by Ratchet.. again." She would sink into her seat, remembering THAT.

      She would not to Jazz. "I'll get an notice up on the broad, see if we can't get this started tomorrow."

**Healthpoint has posed:**
      Healthpoint can't help a bit of a nervous laugh as she nods to Starlock. "Yes...those two." she says, though she tilts her head a bit at the part about Ratchet. "Ratchet...objected to those two being sedated?" she asks, seeming surprised. She hasn't seen him more than once or twice, but Ratchet seems like a no-nonsense type and those two are nothing -but- nonsense if not sedated.

      When Jazz asks if they got it, Healthpoint salutes again. "Y-yes, sir! A-as soon as possible, sir!" She pauses just a moment, then coughs lightly. "Um...since you are here sir, would you...care to be the first to participate?" she asks nervously, just being pragmatic.

**Jazz has posed:**
Jazz shakes his head, "No, I will wait until the official annoucement goes out like everyone else. I have work to do right now," another pauses then he says, "I realize that it's a lot of work but thank you in advance," with that he begins to head out.

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock makes a noise of embarrassment as she sinks further into her chair at remembering the whole situation. "T-thats a story for another day~" She'd say nervously, trying to dodge explaining /that/ situation, putting a hand up, and glancing away.

      She would then look to Jazz and nodded. "Quite alright Sir, Thank you for bringing it up where something could be done." She'd smile to Jazz. "...We'll get through it." She'd smile softly.

**Healthpoint has posed:**
      Healthpiont is now quite intrigued. She will have to hear that story! But, she can't really press the issue with the karaoke bar video of herself still fresh in her mind. She nods to Jazz's reply. "You are welcome, sir. It is our job after all to keep the Autobots running at peak performance." she says, smiling a bit.

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock nods in agreement as Jazz leaves and looks down at her computer, and then brings up a holo-screen beside her, starting to type out the announcement for their boards. "Well, given Aid's not around for a while, it will be you and me that will have to be the one everyone sees, you ready for this HP?" She'd grin, looking over to the taller femme.

**Healthpoint has posed:**
      Healthpoint pushes her glasses up and smirks just a bit. "I may still need some work to be as good as you, but I think I can handle a few physicals." she says before approaching the other medic. "So...just what did happen with Ratchet? I remember it coming up a few times before, but I never really found out why he was upset with you." she says, taking a seat beside Starlock.

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock makes a noise, and sighs out in defeat, relenting, and pinching her nose bridge. "Alright so... About a couple days after being transferred here.." Yes this was newbie Starlock they were talking about. "I came here with another bot named Siegebreaker, and he's /terrified/ of doctors and medics, to the point his systems seriously heat up to the point of /melting/" she'd emphasis. "But before I knew that, I know he was refusing to go and get repaired."

**Healthpoint has posed:**
      Healthpoint's eyes widen a bit at the information about Siegebreaker. "Oh wow...that is a -lot- of fear of doctors and medics." she says, then hmms. "So...how did you get him to go?"

**Starlock has posed:**
     "...I let Hyperdrive talk me into him stunning him and then forcefielding off the door where I could repair the poor guy." She'd sigh and facepalm. "I was an /idiot/ for doing that, the more I think back on it." She'd cringe. "It was a deserved scolding... and rather not repeat it."

**Healthpoint has posed:**
      Healthpoint seems a bit confused here. "I agree that is drastic, but...if a patient is unstable -and- injured and so not accepting treatment there are not a lot of options. If the injuries are not life-threatening you might be able to let them go, but...if it is serious and their life is in danger..." She shakes her head. "What did Ratchet say about it?"

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock nodded in agreement. "He reprimanded me, have you ever been /yelled/ at by Ratchet? trust me its /way/ worse then what Prowl could ever dish out." She'd cringe."Trust me I've been by both." She'd run her hand over her forhelm. "He also explained to me /why/ that was stupid, and dangerous...Eheheh This.. THis was also the Second-first time I'd met Ratchet propper too." She'd smile sheepishly.

**Healthpoint has posed:**
      Healthpoint looks like she is trying to imagine getting yelled at by Ratchet compared to getting yelled at by Prowl (which she's managed before), then shakes her head and shivers a bit before smiling lightly. "I suppose I can believe that. Even when he wasn't mad Ratchet was not exactly personable." she says, then tilts her head in curiousity. "So...maybe I shouldn't have to ask this but...why was it stupid?"

**Starlock has posed:**
     "Ratchet..." She'd pause in thought. "Ratchet is very kind, but he's a grouch and grump, it's very clear that kindness has gotten him taken advantage of.. I mean look at Pharma." Starlock Sneers at nothing in particular, and sighs. "So when he's mad at you, and he /likes/ you, you also get that added disappointed angry parental figure tone." Starlock cringes and laughs, and sighs.

      "Because It /added/ to his fear of medics, it traumatized him, it made things worse, it made him fearful of me, and broke trust that I needed with him."

**Healthpoint has posed:**
      Healthpoint nods lightly at Starlock's appraisal of Ratchet, then giggles a bit. "I see." she says, meaning the angry parental tone. When Starlock explains about why Starlock's and Hyperdrive's actions were bad, Healthpoint's eyes widen. "Oh...I see. That does make sense." she says, then considers a moment. "Yes...talking him down would have been much better, wouldn't it?" she says, more in a musing tone than anything.

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock nods matter of factly to Healthpoint at that. "That is what I should of done." She'd add. "I've been trying to better myself since that day.. Make it up to both Ratchet and Siegebreaker." She'd vent. "And in the processes ended up exposing Pharma for being a psycho, and proved Ratchet innocent for Murder... The instatue is not a nice place and.. Yeah." She'd nod.

**Healthpoint has posed:**
      "Well, I would say you have done that. You are probably the most skilled medic after Ratchet, you have risen through the ranks, and you have saved who knows how many both here and in the field." Healthpoint says, smiling gently. "I know you have trouble accepting it. Maybe we are similar in that regard. But...you help bots every day. You are a good medic and officer."

      Healthpoint blinks in surprise at the part about Pharma. "The Institute? You have actually dealt with them?" she says, her eyes a bit wide while she leans closer to Starlock. "Was Pharma working with them?"

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock glances down in thought. "It... Is hard, I've not.. I didn't realize just what I could do once I had people who /actually/ cared about me, supporting me and.." She'd give pause looking for the words as she started to feel something in her throat. "Ahah I always thought I was unlikable to, being something of that nosy newcomer messing up stuff." She'd chuckle.

      But the questions of the instatue catch her attention and the frown on her face shows it all.. and without words, just nods in confirmation. "...He pressured them into erasing Blurr's memory."

**Healthpoint has posed:**
      Healthpoint can't help a bit of a laugh at the unlikeable comment. "I admit, there have been a few moments when I wasn't sure we got along well. But, all of those moments were in the training room, where I am not at my best mentally or physically." she says with a smile.

      Hearing about Blurr makes that smile disappear quickly though. "...I see. Do...you think that is why he was so relaxed last time he was here? He didn't remember how uncomfortable he usually is in the repair bay?"

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock chuckles. "I have very /strong/ opinions I don't express, and I don't express myself well when I'm mad, sad, or frustrated, fact I just shut down." She'd grin. "Buut I try my best to power through it, especially when I notice /those/ sorts of things." She'd point at Healthpoint. "Don't need me being an aft, need someone to explain what your doing wrong, and how to correct it in a none condescending or angry tone." She'd grin.

      But that grin also fades and she thinks about it. "Perhaps... Wouldn't surprise me they modified /that/ as well when it came to modifying his memories." She'd sigh. "...I /tried/ so hard to stop them and..." she'd kick at the tiling. "I had put a notice up and /everything./" She'd vent.

**Healthpoint has posed:**
      Healthpoint nods lightly. "Yes...our first match I was close to losing my composure for a bit. It seemed like I was not even a challenge for you. It still does actually, but I have accepted that I am not really a challenge for anyone. I will not stop working toward being an asset in a fight rather than a hinderance, but I feel I must accept that I will never be as good as say...Blurr or Prowl or even Hot Rod or Hammerstrike."

      When Starlock kicks at the tile Healthpoint hesitates a moment...then places a hand on Starlock's shoulder. "Blurr never listens. You know that. Do not blame yourself for what happened. You may not have been able to stop it, but it was not your fault that it happened." She vents softly. "...sorry. I am not sure that makes it any better."

**Starlock has posed:**
     "Ahahah fairly, I'm only as good as I am cause I threw myself into combat without knowing much but the basics and learned through trial by /fire/ and I know that isn't going to work for everyone." She'd laugh. "Why I keep pointing out your stance, yes you are bigger, /but/ if your enemy is bigger than you, then you can use their size against them." She'd grin.

      "...I can understand the feeling in regards to those guys.. I keep wishing I was faster, like Blurr, if I was I could get to the injured faster, maybe pull someone out of the way of death" her mind drifted to what happened to Epitaph, and she sighed. "...I think.. the most important thing to understand as a person, and medic and doctor, is that, there will /always/ be someone better than you, and that's fine, you don't have to be perfect, but you also never stop maturing and growing, so, don't stop trying to improve just cause you get knocked down, never learn anything by winning all the time" She'd nod.

      Her posture deflates some when Healthpoint touches her and.. she nods. "...Isn't the first time his memories been tampered with or whiped... He mentioned it to me before it all, he didn't /want/ it tampered, I.." She'd sigh. "I know.. I know.. I can't.. save everyone, even if I want to, if I tried I'd just drive myself to my own grave." She'd vent. "...Still feel kind of responsible."

**Healthpoint has posed:**
      Healthpoint nods lightly at the points about her size and there always being room to improve, then nods more sadly at that last part. "I think that is the burden of having a good spark. Those we failed to help in time always stick with us more than those we did help. That may be one of the few advantages Decepticons have over us. They do not even think twice if they failed to help someone. If they even tried to help someone. Seems like they are just as likely to kill each other off as they are to be killed in combat with our forces."

      She stands after that and vents slowly. "I am going to go get some recharge time. I have a feeling I may need it for the coming days. Even if all goes well, attending to so many physicals will be demanding."

**Starlock has posed:**
     "Perhaps.. I'm trying to take some advice Sky Lynx gave me, in taking pleasure and pride in the small victories, and making changes in people's lives, even if it is one at a time.." She'd smile. "It.. had helped me be a bit happier in these trying times." She'd glance up and nod.

      "Rest well, and safe steps, HP, I'll have this notice up by the time you wake." She'd smile.
