Hands pressed deep into her pockets, Scrap stood in the empty medical bay, looking up at the tall impressive figure of Lord Megatron. He was as fixed as Knockout, Breakdown and herself could make him and yet he was still lifeless, pardon the brain activity the monitor was registering.

There was a strange whooshing sound behind her as the door opened and closed and the clanking of footsteps approached her. "Scrap." The medic acknowledged as he stopped at her side and also stared at their leader.

The human nodded a little then let out a sigh. "He's not getting better, is he?"

"He is in a stable condition. That is all we can do for now."

"Is there anything we could have missed?"

Knockout shrugged a little. "Soundwave has informed me that Lord Megatron did introduce dark energon to his spark, in order to gain control of his army. However, dark energon is very unpredictable. I've only seen small samples of it and I have no idea how it could affect his recovery." He gazed casually at the monitor. "At least his brain is still active, so there is still a chance."

The human just stared at the bot, stuck in a never ending coma before her. "If there was no chance of recovery… and their condition was as serious as this… in human cases, doctors would consider euthanasia."

"Euthanasia?"

"You never heard of it?" Scrap asked, blinking at the bot's confused tone. She sighed and looked back Megatron. "It's the act of ending a life for the sake of freeing them from pain or suffering. It can be done by just… turning off a life support and letting nature take its part." She lowered her head suddenly and smiled a little. "It's a very touchy subject for humans, when or if a person has the right to die. Some consider it a mercy… some murder."

Knockout didn't speak, he just stared at the human before turning where he was and leaving her alone once more. Confused by his entrance then exit, Scrap sighed and decided to go see if she could get off the base for a little bit. After all, the Nemesis had been struck by lightning a few hours ago, and could now be detected easily on the right frequencies. The last thing she wanted was to run into an Autobot on a rampage.
