Despite the occasional amusement that takes place in the form of Starscream, Megatron found himself bored more often than he'd like. Is this what peace is like, Optimus? Forever wandering around looking for something to test his skills against? If so, then he could do without it. After all, in Megatron's mind, all peace was was the absence of fighting.

Starscream was absent again. Megatron wondered, vaguely, if he should go out and look for him. It would be a pity if something happened to his one and only companion. Oh how he wished that Soundwave was here! His communications officer would be extraordinarily useful in information gathering. Megatron didn't get where he was by wishing things into existence, so he tried not to dwell too deeply over it.

So, rather like an outdoor cat that's been forced to stay indoors, Megatron paced restlessly around until he stumbled across the medical clinic. Starscream certainly wouldn't be in there. Still, interesting! And it looked like it's seen some use, so even better! Odds are it was an Autobot building, but Megatron was completely unconcerned about little details like that. So, with characteristic boldness, Megatron invited himself in.

With things finally beginning to settle down, Megatron was starting to get small openings here and there to leave and work off some of his own unease. Helping run a clinic required a lot of inordinate patience, precise dexterity, and patient care that was an excellent way to get his joints seized up with stress, but the occasional physical outlets easily worked that down. As clear it was that this sort of profession was something of a mismatch for him, he stubbornly stayed.

It's on one of these ventures outward that he finds the gray frame of the other version of himself blocking the door. Ah, of course. Things were too silent for too long, weren't they?

A little annoyed that his break was being interrupted, and a little suspicious at why this Megatron thought he should stop by, he stays planted between the hall and the entrance to the infirmary. His own frame still bore a little silvery scarring from when he fought Sentinel - and half his face was still being knit together by nanites, but he was otherwise the same since they first met.

"Can I help you?"

Now this was a surprise! Megatron never forgot a face, and this one in particular stuck out. This was the one who called himself Megatron. How young he seems! Yet, he has the feeling that this is not that Megatron the girl Nautica spoke of. The thought that there might be others excited him, and he couldn't hold back a grin.

"I was merely looking around. Medical clinic, yes? Now this is the last place I'd expect you."

'Looking around'. Who 'looks around' a medical clinic unless they have someone they want to visit? Or perhaps something they want to ransack?

He gives this other version of himself a dubious look at that, but isn't overtly hostile. He isn't looking for a fight.

"Cybertronians in my given line of work don't get many options in careers," he remarks rather cynically. Did this Megatron come from a world with the restrictions of functionism?

"This is the first clinic that has given me a chance." Meaning he was ready to defend it, if need be.
