1293/Little Talks and Repairs

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock was sitting in her seat in the medical bay, now that everything was quiet and everyone was stable and tended too, she'd yet to see to her own wounds, while not /bad/ thanks to her quick work on the field ,where still there... Se was working away on a datapad, working on the report Prowl had requested.

**First Aid has posed:**
First Aid starts to work his way through medbay, moving from patient to patient. 'Allright, now I dont think we have any criticals. So who is next?" He moves from soldier to medic quickly, staying a bit distant and professional today. He does tilt his head at Starlock giving her a thumbs up "Good job out there, and thanks for doing the report."

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock glances up at Aid, giving pause from her work on the report. "Ah.. Yeah, welcome, I'm happy to do such." She glances down, sounding a bit distant, optics dimming and huffed, she'd adjust one of her patches. "..Did really good too, were helping be defensive while not compromising yourself... heh, were doing a good job not getting hit too." She'd smile up.

**First Aid has posed:**
First Aid 's optics brighten a bit. "Yeah? Guess I did at that. I just kinda let it all out and was able to reel in the nasty and just do my job. I'll be out there more often now. It's kinda good not to be useless for once."

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock glances up at him and smiles, giving him a nod at his words. "Learning control is important." She'd say. "And Aid you're never useless." she'd say, lowering her datapad to look up at him, one of the patches from where that explosion Scrapper unleashed hit a rather critical part of her framing, was heavily soaked in energon from leaking.

**First Aid has posed:**
First Aid shrugs. "People keep saying that." He says softly. "But I kinda want to prove it, you know? I want to be as useful as any other medic here." he heads over to look at the patch. "Thats looking rough. Let me work on that." his voice is pretty friendly.

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock smiles softly. "I can understand that.." she'd say, before gesturing to allow him see to her wounds. "Alright.. Thank you." She'd say softly, sitting still for him, letting the Datapad sit in her lap, before taking in a vent, and letting out a somber sigh.

**First Aid has posed:**
First Aid goes over to work. "So um. ANything new going on with you? I've just been working." small talk. awkward small talk.

**Starlock has posed:**
     "...Just been working as well." She'd add quitely. "Keep my mind focused elsewhere.." She was trying hard not to look up at his face directly as she remained still. "...It.. gets hard, to continue, when it does." She'd murmur.

**First Aid has posed:**
First Aid nods "Yeah same here." He looks to starlock and nods. 'It really does sometimes. We just have to keep on going regardless right?"

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock nods as she finishes writing her report after a moment and huffs. "Yeah... Feels like I'm just... being forced to put all of my life on holds.. or just... be nothing but another body in all this mess.." Her finials droop as she remembered something Prowl said to her. "....Maybe I am, and just... starting to realize it."

**First Aid has posed:**
First Aid tilts his head. "What makes you say that?" he asks. "We are all just part of the grander design, really. We all have our places doing what we do best. Isn't that the way things ought to be?"

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock gives him a slight, half-lidded look, indicating he already knew why. "...What do you mean by that? If I can ask." She'd quirk a ridge, knowing what immediately came to her mind wasn't what he was meaning. "Like...as in our functions oor, just... us as cybertronians?"

**First Aid has posed:**
First Aid nods "Both kind of?" he says. "Once you find what you're good at, and understand your place in the world, theres a certain peace in doing it."

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock tilts her helm slightly, as she thought it over, trying not to disturb his work to much. "...Yeah, that's.. A good way to put it, one is part of us, but it shouldn't dominate us, and should consider the other... Especially if it makes us happier.. A balance of sort, I guess is what I'm getting at." She'd chuckle weakly.

      Starlock then raised a ridge as she leaned her cheek into her knuckles as she rested an elbow on her chair's arm-rest. "Know.. never asked, but are you the religious type? Odd to ask I know, but most medics are know are kinda... Well." She'd glance to Ratchet's office door.

**First Aid has posed:**
First Aid considers "I never really thought about it. I guess, well. Primus made us for a reason, right?" he asks, as he continues to work. "But its up to us to decide what that reason is. I think we make our own fates, we choose our own way in the world. If there is a Primus its my job to keep people from meeting him too soon."

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock chuckles, and gives a soft smile. "....Know, I like that kinda out look.. Pshh don't let Ratchet hear you say that though." she'd grin. "..Guess I'm in an odd spot, I don't.. know if Primus or any of the other gods exists, or not, Mostly lean on things like science and knowledge to explain things, but even then there some things that.. Really don't make sense or can be explained." She'd nod.

      "And hey if they are proven to exist I'll gladly eat my words." She'd snort.

**First Aid has posed:**
First Aid shrugs "way I look at it there may or may not be a Primus. He may or may not have something in store for us. But there is us, there is science, there are tools to make our lives easier. If he does exist then I'll be glad to meet him. I can't define what he wants for us, thats up to him, just like any other being. You know. If I met him? I might invite him out for a drink."

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock just breaks into a chuckle and shakes her helm. "You're something else Aid, I'll say that." She'd grin up at him. "...Hows the wound look?"

**First Aid has posed:**
First Aid gives a thumbs up "Self-repair should be kickig in. Does it hurt too bad?" he asks. "I can work on it more after you get some rest."

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock Ehhs. "Audials are ringing still, still sore.. Was an explosion after all, followed up by Sixshot's blasts." she'd huff with a smile. "Yeah.. I've gotten all my work done, and done the report Prowl requested, probably should rest." She'd glance up at aid and smiles. "..Thanks."
