Meet the Medic [Open Log]

[gentle_giant]

Who: The city's medic and mechanic...and all those who want their injuries tended.
What: The city medic doing what he can for all the new arrivals who've just been through an explosion.
Where: Hospital, located in the Northwest of the city
When: Shortly after arrival.  Galos will bring everyone to the city, and show the injured to the hospital.  The good medic here will care for any who come in.  Don't worry, he can care for Cybertronians too.
Warnings: Only what your characters bring with them.

The hospital is quite large, located in the midst of various houses and apartments.  One side is clearly designed for the organic residence, with nice sliding doors opening into a foyer and waiting area.  Halls stretch off to the right to various exam rooms where the resident doctor and his apprentices can check on the sick.  Down another hall are hospital rooms for those who require an extended stay.

The other side is designed for the robotic residents.  The front part is a large garage, which leads to a waiting area.  Past that are repair bays with with tables, each repair bay is stocked with tools.  The mechanic teams range from human to Cybertronian.

Whether organic or robotic, all those who come to the hospital will see the Paian, the head medic and mechanic.

Paian looked to be nothing more than a normal human plucked out of some Victorian era, steampunk world.  Large green goggled hung around his neck and large leather gloves were tucked behind a wide belt.  There's nothing really fancy about his dress, he's dressed to work.  He's a big guy, and a no-nonsense doctor.  Those who come to see him may not his worried frown as he ushers them back to get settled where he can start to work to take care of those injuries.

So tell me what you know. [Knock Out only glances at Pain briefly before focusing on the girl.] And who gave you that gift? Immortality is not something humans are born with.

[He's going to claim half the space and a big room as his office, either you like it or not man. At least while they work on this together.]

I'm Knock Out. A fitting name, don't you think?

[Knock Out made an effort to actually not sound patronizing.] I want to analyze it, I come with my own equipment. Less risk of using tool already contaminated by whatever is going on here.

Lessa, did you go to any strange place before this happened? Or did you see anything out of the ordinary? Dark shadows, wolves, or funny lights?

[gentle_giant]

Any Guardian sent to this Cybertron has heard about the Chaos Bringer and Destroyer of Worlds. He took an interest in this particular Cybertron some time back, though it's not documented what happened. Many speculate the Miasma is a remnant of him having been here once before.

Much of my gifts came from higher powers from my own world. I've gained a few more since getting here, but I was a Guardian before that.

[Half? You better be one hell of a medic if he's going to allow you half, big guy. He will certainly make sure you have a good work space, though...]

[Paian nods.] I think that'd be a good idea. A fresh set of eyes one this certainly wouldn't hurt.

[Lessa laughs. It's a bright sound, happy.] Very. You're a very handsome robot.

[She shakes her head.] No. My cat got a little feisty is all, he can be quite a grump. Only after a day the bleeding hadn't stopped so I came to see Paian. And...well he couldn't heal it. I know it's got him really worried.

[She glances at the man, clearly wishing for his sake more than her own that he could figure out what was going on.]

[deadlydoctor]

How many Guardians are out there? No one here gave me a proper explanation of what is going on. [And frankly, it's getting on his nerves. Knock Out likes to be aware of the situation he's in.] Do you have data stored about the Miasma? Some reports or a library with information?

Wasn't your world Earth? What higher powers could possibly be found in there...

[He needs a lot of space, bro for his ego. But yes a proper work space will be nice.

Oh, Knock Out's starting to like the little organic.] You should see my other form, it's almost as impressive. And really fast.

Ans where is that cat now? [He looks at Paian as well.] Do you have it? We should take a blood sample too so we can rule out theories.

[gentle_giant]

Out there? Who knows. Here, though, there are eleven currently. As far as an explanation, ask. I'll answer any questions you have.

[He nods.] What's known has been documented. There's a library in the Hub that should have a copy of the information.

[Amused and wry grin.] Earth has all kinds of beliefs and religions, you don't supposed those stories came from somewhere?

[Paian nods.] The cat is here. We have a blood sample from it at well.

[Good, she likes him too. She giggles.] You don't seem like the type to pick an alt that's "almost" as impressive. Doesn't sound like it would meet your approval if it was just "almost".

[deadlydoctor]

Out there? Who made you guardians? [Please don't tell him a shiny ring came floating from space to you or some strange stuff like that.] And what are all your duties?

[Finally some useful new, Knock Out beams.] A library! Now we are going somewhere.

Most come from kids fairy tales. Are you going to tell em Santa Claus is real? [Knock out regretted saying that a second later when he realized the girl was staring at them.] Uh....I mean...yeah right, the cat. Great I'll take a look at it too.

[What's not to like? Don't answer that Paian.]

You are a really smart little she human, you know that? You are right. I am the fastest mech when I am in car mode. I'll shows you once we fix you.

[gentle_giant]

Guardians come from all kinds of worlds and races. Who gives us our powers depends on where we're from. One of those seen as a god in my world is the one who made me what I am, and I'd be willing to bet he may have started like me at one point. Now that I'm a Guardian and can pass power to others. In time, even you could become a Guardian.

As for our duties, that depends on who we're linked to. My powers, and so my duties, are related to healing and taking care of people.

[You're growing on him... Paian and Lessa both laugh at Knock Out's attempt to cover his "blunder" over suggesting Santa wasn't real.]

Don't worry, Mister Knock Out. [Lessa beamed] He might be real in some world out there. You never know.
