FELLOW UNITS?

[its ymir again]

[ Klaus was in control this time, with Florian nowhere to be seen. ]

[ Looking at Ymir, it felt like a knife twisting in his fuel tank. The guilt from their last interaction was still there. ]

…HEY

[pinniped-medibots]

[ Otto woke up slumped over a desk in his room, a thick, sour taste in his mouth and his eyelids feeling heavy. It felt like he had the absolute worst nap of his life. ]

[ He yawned and looked over at a clock that read 1:30 AM. Odd... And now that he thinks about it, he begins to recall a strange dream he had. One where he and Klaus were working on modifying their vita-saw into a sword-like contraption, feeling like as if they were fused into one being at certain points... ]

[ But that was ridiculous, there was no way either of them would... ]

[ And there it was. Sitting on the edge of his desk was a heavily modified vita-saw, one that was shaped like a sword with a reinforced needle. ]

[ Carefully, Otto picked it up. It felt heavy in his hands, but in a way that was sort of satisfying to hold and balance. Touching the edge of the blade with his metallic fingertips, it felt like it was sharpened to the point where it could cut through steel like butter. ]

KLAUS?? DID YOU DO THIS??

[ They asked internally, confused yet amazed. ]

YOU DON'T REMEMBER? WE MADE THIS THING TOGETHER AND YOU PASSED OUT RIGHT AFTER. SAID SOMETHING ABOUT SKIPPING YOUR NAPS BEFORE YOU DID

...OH

[ Either way, he was happy with the end result. Maybe now people will realize he's more than capable of fending for himself. ]

[ Yelling rang out in the back of the medibot’s shared mind as Otto laid in bed, staring up at the ceiling, his eyes dim and tired. ]

[ It’s been like this for hours now. Florian and Klaus going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, over and over again. ]

I WAS JUST TRYING TO RESOLVE THINGS PEACEFULLY!!

PEACEFULLY?! DID THAT BASTARD EVER GIVE US ANY PEACE?! NO!! HE DIDN’T AND HE DOESN’T DESERVE ANY!!

KLAUS, IM NOT GOING STRAIGHT TO BREAKING SOMEONE’S SPINE, I JUST-

I DONT CARE!! YOU’RE JUST PULLING OUT EXCUSES FOR BEING A COWARD!! YOU COULD’VE GOTTEN US KILLED! YOU COULD’VE GOTTEN OZZIE KILLED!!

PLEASE DONT BRING THEM INTO THIS-

OR WHAT?? YOU’LL SERVE ME TO DEATH??

[ Otto wanted so badly for the two of them to shut up already. Yelling reverberated off the inside of his head, echoing and distorting until it was all just angry noise. ]

[ They couldn’t for the life of them understand why Klaus was so fixated on this. Florian must’ve explained himself a billion times by now and even then Klaus wasn’t satisfied. It felt like he wanted to be angry just for the sake of being angry. ]

[ Otto rolled over onto his stomach, grabbing a pillow and yelling into it in frustration. ]
