"The sergeant has been an imPort long enough to properly assess that concern," Knock Out agreed.
622's remark about not dying pulled an unimpressed look from the red medic. "It is true. Another benefit of the nanites," he said, his tone twisting the term into something closer to libel. "I've seen it, though I've not had the chance to study any aftereffects in detail," he admitted.
"But somehow it is not surprising. If the Porter and by extension the nanites are capable of rewriting our very forms, is resurrection really so much of a stretch?"
It was actually something that troubled Knock Out quite a lot more than he cared to admit. As a medic, he knew exactly the bounds that a physical form could be remade and manipulated. Everything from structure, to memories, even emotional responses. But something like a soul, in humans, or his very own spark... should have been beyond all reproach of science, no matter how advanced. And yet, it was his very own that spun inside his chest plates.
