How often do you think Darkstorm helps out around the medbay? She seems like she's a capable medic. Do you feel like you take her for granted? What is your favorite memory of her, if any? And were you upset after the argument between you and her at all? I know she seemed pretty devestated.
She helps out more than I would think possible. In fact she does more than help out - she would be capable of handling all our medical needs single-handedly if she did not need to recharge and refuel, which she does less than nearly anyone else. Between her and Knockout I never have to worry, and I know Phoenix wants for nothing.
If I take her for granted - and I might - it is because I am used to giving orders and having them followed, and she does that. She is very professional and I suppose in a way that means she doesn’t stand out to me. I am a soldier, and her demeanor is familiar. I treat her coolly, perhaps, out of habit, but in her businesslike efficiency itself there is a superb quality. She is always ready to do one more thing for me. I… I think maybe that is what it would be like to have a Soundwave… If I tell her to do something I know it will be done. It is a great weight off my mind.
My favorite memory of her… by now it is hard to pick and it is probably something small I’m overlooking in my current fatigue. But one that stands out was when she shared her Vosnian jet grade with me without question, for no reason other than that I was shaken by the memory of what the Predacons did to me. It was more than just the gesture, or how rare that fuel is nowadays. I had been back on Cybertron for a long time, and I didn’t feel as though I had come home until then.
Our argument… yes. I was upset, though I was more relieved. Partway in I was afraid she would leave… And, well, before that I may have tried to make her leave… but we fought through and burned out both our tempers. She is more stubborn than she knows. To be honest there is a part of me that missed that. It reminded me of Skywarp and Thundercracker, and the raging fights we would have. But yes… I was upset afterwards for a while. It was not pleasant hearing what she thought of me, and I probably didn’t help matters much…
