<<I'm sorry this took so long, Ebon! It never popped back to the top once you edited your reply, so I lost track of it and just saw it today! ^_^;; Sorry about that!>>
Ah, politics. The language of saying enough but not too much. Or, of saying what the listener already knows and trying to make it sound new and interesting.
Knock Out crossed his arms, tapping one claw to the side of his face as if thinking. He stepped closer, keeping his voice low and intimate. Not that it would keep Soundwave from hearing, but it might keep any less keen eavesdroppers from spreading the info over the base. "I suppose that's fair. One must make sacrifices for science, after all. And my answer is that our glorious leader took quite a bit of damage in his last altercation with Prime. Nothing I haven't repaired, of course, but you have taken similar heavy damage and know the repair process. You know how there is very little damage that is permanent given proper medical attention, though the...residual effects can linger for some cycles."
The medic lifted a hand. "As for anything else, as we discussed earlier, I've observed certain personality shifts which I believe might be the result of dark energon exposure. I can't recommend its use for anyone until further safety studies have been done. I have hope that with...lessened dark energon exposure that Lord Megatron might...come back to baseline, as it were."
He spread his hands, giving Starscream his most charming smile. "Lord Megatron is a tough mech, and he's slated to make a full recovery."
The glyphs he used were careful: neutral, just a touch wry, giving the impression that Knock Out knew that his information was disappointing but that he could do no better.
