"This is Scorponok. Leave a message, as I am busy at the moment. If you want to see the infant, send me a text before you enter. Don't you dare knock and wake her up."
I am nothing but careful, remember I had minicons in my care for along time [ Never mind the ownership he claimed over them as if they weren't sentiant... ]
And if you must know, being so small and young she would not understand you weren't trying to harm her. The point is, to show her now before she takes a check up some day and see there is nothing to be frightened of. Especially if you are in the room with her.
You make a good point. She's a big young to understand the concept of a check-up, but anything helps at an early age. [Aura, meanwhile, wriggles restlessly on Megatron's lap. Her parent is doing something to him, which she has no understanding of, but that doesn't matter. She wants entertainment.]
Any pain? [Scorponok asks as he steps away to refill the syringe.]
You've struck a nerve but.... I'm putting a brave face. For Aura. [ He pets her face again with a finger and while Scorponok is turned away leans over and makes a face. ]
We make faces like this when pained . [ He purses his lips like when fleshly humans eat something sour or are pinched. ]
But in serious... I think the metal there is a little thin.
[Aura squeals at the exaggerated face. The connection between the expression and pain is lost on her.]
She remembers you. It's either the voice or the mannerisms. [He turns around and wipes the metal around his elbow.] We'll need a replacement here. Once the infection's all clear, come to my operation room.
She can't answer that. I haven't been able to replicate mnemosurgery for organics.
[Aura is fidgeting. Uncle Antlers has been playing with her, and now she's fired up for more games. It's making Scorponok more agitated as he inspects the rest of Megatron's back for injuries.]
