With her communications with Barricade and Megatron both, Mikaela occasionally felt like she was leading a double life. She didn't like keeping secrets, not from Ironhide, and not from Sam. She had a feeling if Ironhide knew, though, he'd locked her up in a closet somewhere and never let her out.
"I must be crazy." She mumbled to herself as she jerked the door open to the Swindles, pushing her hair over her shoulder as she entered. "Crazy...deranged...whatever. I've got to be insane, look at me. Helping a Megatron. I've lost my damn marbles." She shook her head, and shut the door behind her. She nodded to a clerk, who pointed her in the direction of where she needed to go. Poking ( ... )

It meant he did not have much to be paying attention to beyond the movements of the mechs in the hallway outside, listening for tell-tale footsteps to return...
...and hearing a familiar voice, instead.
"Ah, Mikaela. I see that you have made it." His optics came online, their red-glow in the semi-darkness being the only visible indication that he was more than a collection of wires and armor on a medical berth, and awake, at that. "If you were wanting the chance to look at a Decepticon, it seems that has been afforded to you. You may come up..." He smirked, a bit, dangerously, to challenge her. "...if you wish."

"Course I do." She scoffs, making a valiant attempt to not be intimidated. It doesn't completely work, but she does summon the courage to come closer. The medical berth is large and tall, and not something she can easily see over. If she's going to get close enough to do anything, she was going to have to hop up there with him, which would put her in an extremely vulnerable position.
She reaches up, and hauls herself up to sit on the edge for a moment before getting to her feet and facing him directly. She'd....never exactly been quite this close to him before, and she had to admit this was kind of...humbling. She'd worked on ( ... )

The lights in the room remained off, conserving power while his normal companions were gone. With how strained relations in the Nexus had become of late, the Swindles did not seem as if they'd waste any resource easily, and it was amazing how much energon could be saved by simply flicking off a light switch.
He, on the other hand...had other methods.
Being originally crafted for work underground provided a few benefits, after all, and he started up the hidden running lights that were nestled in several areas along his frame. Not all of them were still connected after previous upgrades he'd been going through, and several were just burnt out from disuse and alternate activity, but where ( ... )

The latest employee had retreated, radiating offense at the tiny cassette's vehemence, and the medic was currently occupying himself rewiring a delicate node of sensors with the tips of his claws.

...but now here was Glit, performing repairs on him again, and with a speed and efficiency that never failed to impress him. If the cons on his world had a medic like this....
...well.
...what an asset that would be.
"Don't you ever tire of repairing me, Glit?" He smirked a bit, not alluding to whether he was serious or not.

"Are you needed, back in your world, for any mission in particular?"

When Blackout helped Magnum into the shop, Kino smiled - and then quickly paled at the amount of damage done to the other mech. "I've got everything set up and the room's ready to be secured as soon as you start." She conveyed the important information first, following them to the back. "Are... Are you going to be all right, Mr Magnum?" Her voice was very worried as the mech was settled down onto a berth, Kino quickly climbing up to a counter at head-level to him, frowning at the damage she could see and only guessing at how much more was under his armor.

Kino had been quite prepared for this eventuality, and as he was led to the room she had secured for him he acknowledged that she was, perhaps, more of an asset than he'd originally surmised. This was twice that she had helped him, now.
The concern from her was unexpected, however, and he mentally compared it to the other queries he'd received about his health since posting on the network. He'd not considered that there were still creatures that would bother to care...sentiments like that he usually reserved for Autobots, and it was rather obvious that those would never be directed at a 'con. At least, not without significant high grade distortion ( ... )

The chuckle turned into a laugh, however, at the mention of Ironhide. "...a poor Hero indeed. I would have thought the superior morale ground they've created for themselves would have been built upon solid foundations--not upon scraps. But..." The laughter died, sliding into a frown. "...it doesn't seem to be that way, does it. Autobots kill, as readily as we kill. Its all a matter of perspective." His optics turned to her.
"...which I ought to ask. What...your opinion is about them."
