Gotta go fast

Chapter 10

She didn't know what to expect now that she was on board the decepticon warship. Knock Out had told her to remain in his quarters knowing that anyone could easily enter the med bay but not the attached room. After hearing about Megatron and decepticons after all this time she wasn't going to argue about it. When the two bots returned after having been summoned to the bridge they found Luna curled up asleep in the middle of Knock Outs berth. Breakdown had gone straight into recharge when he had returned but Knock Out couldn't help but lean against the farthest wall and watch the young woman sleep.

She had been told about Optimus Prime now being aboard and that he had no recollection of the war or ever becoming a prime, now going by the name Orion Pax. She hadn't met the autobot leader but from what she had been told about the ongoing war he was a strong and noble mech so it didn't make sense that he was on the warship. She wanted to see him, meet him personally but something told her that she'd never get the medic to take her end even if he did there would be no guarantee of what the leader would be like. It was obvious that he wasn't himself. No self-respecting autobot would join the decepticon cause.

Luna had no idea how long she had been on the Nemesis now but it felt like forever. She had heard Knock Out talking to other bots in the bay next door which put her nerves on edge. She hated that at any moment she could be found, she still didn't understand how Knock Out thought she would be safe. The brunette spent most of her time by the only window in the room looking out at the planet, she was very thankful that they had not gone into orbit yet.

The hairs on the back of her neck stood as she heard female voice from behind the door. Immediately she could identify the femme as Arachnid, the spider bot that both Knock Out and Breakdown hated so much. Only faint whispers could be heard through the thick wall, it grasped Luna's attention from where she was sitting in the corner of the room. Her curiosity got the better of her when she rushed over to the door to hear what was being said, there was a few mumbles but she was able to make it out. "Have you been with the humans again Knock Out because I can smell them"

"Maybe it's just you" Breakdown mumbled as he leant on the door to their quarters.

She gave the blue brute an annoyed glare as she let Knock Out tend to her injured energon line in her arm. The medic worked fast on her so that she would be gone quickly. It was obvious that she didn't want to be around either because as soon as Knock Out was done she fled the room in a second.

"How long you keeping her here?" Breakdown nudged his head towards their private quarters.

"Until the planet settles"

The blue bot gave his partner and unimpressed look as he knew that the planet had already settled from the extreme weather and the medic was only making up excuses to keep her here longer. Which made him think that he didn't know how boring it must be for the human. "Knock Out you can't keep her here, with the prime on board it's even more dangerous for her"

"Precisely why I can't take her back. Security's tight because of prime, I'd never get to the ground bridge with her" He hadn't visited her in the room that day knowing that that very morning he let her watch him wield the decepticon seal onto Optimus's shoulder and he remembered seeing her look very curious at the former autobot leader, he already knew that she would want to see him and that could not only blow the operation with Orion but also reveal Luna. He then recalled Megatrons transmission to every bot about addressing the Orion as Optimus and whoever did so would have their voice box torn out.

After a minute of pondering to himself Knock Out left the bay asking Breakdown to hold the fort, it would be foolish to have them both leave just in case someone did manage to break their way for some reason into their quarters. He had run in to his master on his stroll, concerns for their current scheme over powering his processor.
