Hook sets aside the pieces of Duskwing's cranium he has sawed off and removes the charred and damage components inside of Duskwing's head. He avoids touching anything undamaged if he can help it, but sometimes even he cannot help it.
There is a little pile of blackened circuitry building up on the table beside Duskwing.
"Autobots have a tendency to do that," Hook remarks as he steps away to collect replacement parts from the fabber.

"They do? Huh."
Duskwing still clutches the repair table, but not quite so desperately as before. Hook hasn't moved on to cut his head off and dismantle his wings and engines from his frame, so he probably isn't going to. The rational part of him had been pretty sure he wouldn't, but the suspicious survivor part of him had about climbed the walls. It was calming down, now. Hook was no hacker-technician scavenging for fresh parts.
Duskwing has always feared his own side far more than the Autobots. In the Darwinian society of the Decepticons, Duskwing has understood dimly that many consider him unfit to survive. So far, he's proved them wrong by surviving.
"So yeah, dis Springer tries to fake me out, and now That I know what's what, I goes after him. Prolly shoulda stood back and shot him, but I was pissed, see? So I bashes him inna face real good--messed him up worse than Blitzer here."
"That's when he stuck his gun in my optic and shot me," Duskwing concludes sullenly. "I think I kinda forgot some of the details there."

"I have no doubt about that at all." Hook brings the needed parts back over. Soldering iron in hand, the Constructicon begins to replace damaged parts. His movements are precise and utterly heedless of the oddity of having someone operate on your cranium while you're still awake.
He is also slow. Perfection cannot be rushed, after all.

Hook may be slow, but he's careful, and Duskwing knows that he does really, really good work. Not like those jackleg technicians back on the line on Cybertron, and NOT LIKE THAT FRAGGIN' RED 'BOT!
"Uh, anyway, Blitzwing carried me and Misty over there back here, and that's about it. Can't remember nuthin' more," Duskwing says, and he means it. He doesn't actually have anything more to say.
--- Wrap it up now?

Hook has learned some interesting things talking to Duskwing. He knows about Bambi's weapon capabilities, he knows about Springer's hologram projector, he knows that Mistwind is smart enough or sensor-laden enough to tell the difference between holograms and real people.
Hook might even mention these things to other people. If he feels like it.
He works on Duskwing until he is satisfied with his work, and not a moment longer or a moment sooner. Then he steps away to drop his tools in disinfectant and clears away the pieces too damage to restore to the blue jet.
"Go."
