Class is in session » open

CHARACTERS: Megatron, whoever is interested in a crash course in Cybertronian medicine
LOCATION: The common area.
DATE: Nowish
CONTENT: Megatron is training some folks in Cybertronian first aid and other basics! This is supposed to be a bit free-wheeling, so feel free to jump around a little bit, throw in questions and etc. Megatron will do his best to answer all of them.
WARNINGS: Medical stuff

[ Megatron hadn't expected quite so many eager participants for his offer to teach the basics of Cybertronian medicine, byt maybe he should have. He's arranged some of the seating in the common area in a sort of semi-circle around a space where he's laid open the medical bag that looks suspiciously like a gun. Once all the students have filtered in, he straightens as much as he can, with his head nearly brushing the ceiling, and clears his throat. It's a strange sound, halfway between a cough and a burst of static. ]

Thank you for coming. This will not be a completely comprehensive review, as a proper medical education takes years. We will begin with the most basic and essential building blocks of Cybertronian life, Rossum's Trinity--

[ At which point he gestures to himself, touching his chest, head, and then chest again in turn. ]

Also known as Rossum's Rule of Thirds. This refers to the spark, the brain module, and the transformation cog. Significant traumatic damage to any of these three components can have a cascading negative effect on the other two and lead to death. Of the three, the spark is the arguably the most uniquely Cybertronian.

It is a mass of electrically charged positrons which in organic parlance could be likened to a 'heart' or a 'soul' but is perhaps best considered a combination of both. Each spark has it's own resonance and like a heart, pulses at a certain frequency to provide power and life to the Cybertronian body it inhabits.

Are there any questions so far?

[ The lectures will continue in this vein, with pauses for discussion and questions. Feel free to respond to the initial lecture, or to just have your character throw out any questions they might have as if they've been touched upon at some point! Discussion among the class is encouraged. ]
