Chapter 55
"You're lucky to be in one piece," First Gunner said in frustration. "You've burned up so much of your insides that there just isn't a safe way to replace them, not to mention that you reopened the wound on the inside of your thigh."
"Anything serious?" Rodimus asked.
"Oh, you'll heal all right," the medic replied. "But it will take a few days, and until then you won't be able to switch to Human form safely. Didn't I tell you to take it easy on yourself?"
"Yes, but I didn't really have a choice," Rodimus grumbled. "Can I get off the table now?"
"Yes, let's go see the others," First Gunner replied. Rodimus Convoy, you are trying my patience. Why can't you take a doctor's orders seriously? I know you retrieved Planet Force, but some things are more important. Your life is not something that can be recovered.
They walked down the hall to Override's room. She was lying on the examination table, unconscious. Galaxy Convoy, Nitro Convoy, Exiguiser, Emission, and Lori were waiting at the side. Lori gave Rodimus a quick smile, before turning her attention to First Gunner.
"I'm sure you all want a report on Override's diagnosis, but in order to make it complete, I need to ask a few questions," First Gunner said. "Was there anyone else besides you and the Destrons at the scene." Everyone shook their heads. "Did anyone leave the battlefield?"
"Black Nitro Convoy did after stealing Planet Force," Rodimus said. "Lori and I persued him."
"I went to locate Override," Emission stated.
"Anyone else?" First Gunner asked.
There was silence, and then Nitro Convoy said, "I lost sight of Gasket for some time."
First Gunner hung his head, "I was afraid of that. The bruises on Override's back were obtained when she fell. The damage to her chest will heal completely. The blast that struck her neck is worse, while it will heal, her vocal transmitter was completely destroyed. It's not something that can be replaced; she'll be mute for the rest of her life. Even worse is the damage to her optics. They too were destroyed, but they can be replaced. It will take time."
"I can help with that," Rodimus said.
"Me too," said Lori.
"Thank you," First Gunner nodded. "But what really worried me were injuries that couldn't be explained as battle damage, such as the dents on her shoulders, midsection, and…" the medic tilted Override's head to the side, "…the bite on her neck. Upon more thorough examination, I discovered something that aroused suspicion that I have now confirmed through your replies to my questions."
The medic took a deep breath, "This is going to come as a shock. While examining, I noticed genetic information inside of Override that did not belong to her. The conclusion is undeniable; Gasket raped her."
The shock was powerful, and everyone was silent for a long time until Nitro Convoy spoke up. "She's not…Is she…" he couldn't bring himself to say it.
"No, she isn't pregnant," First Gunner reassured.
A sobering silence fell on the group, broken when they heard a loud bang. They all turned to see Exiguiser shaking with rage, his fist embedded into the wall.
