[ Knock Out's clearly thinking that one over. He had a medical file - an extensive one - on Starscream, but that's definitely off the table. Still, he should be able to put together something for Jane. ]

If he asks, you didn't get it from me.

Oh, they hardly got along except when they were flying, but that's just personalities. Still, Screamer's never been the same since.

[forceshadowed]

of course
your secret’s safe with me
thank you

[ Knowledge is power, or so they say. Though she’s really just curious, especially after Knock Out’s brought the topic up. ]

poor guy
so is a trine a once-in-a-lifetime thing?

[redcosmedic]

Good, because I'll know exactly whom to use my saw blades on if it gets out.

Hm. Technically his trine core still functions, but it's not a purely biological function either. I would say the opportunity exists, but the will is far from there.

[ As someone who lost his own Conjunx, Knock Out knows the feeling. ]

[forceshadowed]

that won't be necessary, sir

hmmm
that's very interesting
only seekers have trines?

[redcosmedic]

[ Sir. Oh, Knock Out missed that from being CMO aboard the ship, and he was starting to see how Jane won even the prickly Starscream over. ]

Only Seekers have trine cores. I've seen other fliers use the term loosely, but it's a purely social construct for them.

[ This is all well and good for Jane learning about Starscream, but Knock Out is supposed to be learning about her at the same time. ]

Why did you agree to help us? And don't say because the Council made you both advocates from our respective species.

[forceshadowed]

[ Well, he finally noticed.

There's a pause as she considers whether to let him in on the secret. But, well, since he's Starscream's physician anyway? And he's also giving him all this information freely. It's really a fair trade. ]

wish i could say it's out of the goodness of my heart but
kyber is a resource the first order can do without
i just truly hope the galaxy's better off with it in your hands instead

[redcosmedic]

Oh? Our own little double agent inside the First Order. How thrilling!

[ And infinitely more entertaining than her being some dull FO lackey. ]

You know what we're using it for.

[forceshadowed]

i know
it's still better than what the first order will use it for

[ She doesn't comment on 'double agent,' because what else is there for her to say? ]

[redcosmedic]

Indubitably. You'll see for yourself when you arrive.

[ Since Knock Out has been appointed lead medic on the Hot Spot, they'll likely be spending time in each other's company. At least Jane will find him a willing conversation partner, unlike Starscream. ]

I suppose I should get back to work, then. But this has been a very enlightening conversation.

[forceshadowed]

so i guess that means you've gotten the information you needed from me, huh

[ Totally smirking on her end, not that he can see her. ]

[redcosmedic]

Oh, I've barely begun learning about you, Advocate Solo. But it's a fine start.
