Megatron had been quiet all day, all damn day. Walking slowly through the corridors of the warship, he suddenly received a comm link to come as soon as possible to the medbay, so he did.
Stopping in front of the doors, he let them open, sliding into the thick wall and letting him see Knockout and Starscream conversing in a low voice.

Megatron: "Knockout, what is it?"

Knockout: "Lord Megatron!"

The medic seemed rather anxious. He had the right to be. After all, it was time to tell Megatron about his planning, and he knew the Warlord wouldn't have liked it. Knockout started swimming with his own digits, slightly scratching them with his nervousness.

Megatron: "...and why is Starscream here?"

In a second, the dots connected, and the Warlord glared at the medic with a wrathful expression, ready to tear his spine strut out of his back plates.

Megatron: "Knockout, no."

Knockout: "He's the best liar we have on the Nemesis. He's objectively attractive, the best flier, and he already agreed on doing this."

The Warlord's glare went from Knockout to Starscream, at first filled with rage, but realizing what the medic was saying, he stared at Starscream, not with anger, but with surprise.

Knockout: "We just have to work over a backstory and basics of your fake relationship, and we can go ahead with it!"

Megatron looked over at the Seeker once again, glaring, still a bit surprised about him accepting to do such things. The doctor smiled slightly and took an empty datapad.

Knockout: "Let's begin."
