#LONG AS HELL RAMBLE I HALF ASSED IN LIKE 12:30AM

[princesstarfire1234]

Mnemosurgeon Spinister

I haven't rambled on about the Scavs here in a bit but this one's kind of been on the backburner of my brain for a while now, just the concept of it really intrigues me

Imagine, if you will, big bulky and a little bit slow Spinister being a mnemosurgeon, having little needles poke out of his fingertips and being granted access to people's memories, all fascinated by his own hands because of what they can do

Now imagine that same Spinister being a bit more well-spoken way way back then but struggling to find companionship or a sense of purpose and whatnot, imagine him jabbing needles into his own processor simply to understand himself, or being fed up with the lack of all that social and affectionate stuff that his function offers (most bots are frightened by mnemosurgeons and the mere concept of mnemosurgery, most of the surgeons themselves die young), so he begins doing mnemosurgery on himself

He sits in his dimlit quarters at the late hours of the night and sifts through memories, removing failed attempts at conversations, awkward meetings, just in general some memories he could live without. He does this over and over and over and no one ever stops him, no one knows to, no one cares to. Until eventually, his mind has sort of regressed, his processor not being built to take that much manual alteration and he's left with a hollow version of himself, staring aimlessly at his own fingers and saying things that make bots swear he's the stupidest being in the universe

Yeah the thought made me sad ahahahah, UNTIL... until.... brain went to SpinKrok and I was like OHHHHhhh...

Despite Spinister's everything, he remains great at his job. It's all muscle memory at this point, can't take that away from him. So one cycle, he's out and about by himself as usual until through some circumstances idkkk he meets Krok. Spin likes Krok, he's probably one of the first bots who's held a conversation that long with him in a while and he finds himself smiling at the thought of the mech. Later on, he heads back to his quarters, about to resume his usual routine of deleting tidbits he didnt want to remember of that day and he finds that... huh... he doesnt want to delete any of it. So he remembers. He remembers Krok until they meet up again.
