Tessan is quieted, but she promptly attempts to headbutt Kate. Then she says something muffled that might be, "Kup? When did you get a Pretender shell?" though it could also be 'mrf mrf mrf mrf'.
She does not appear to be calming overly much, but at least she is not actively trying to kill Kate at the moment.

"Grah!" Kate exclaims as she's headbutted. It's not enough to get her to let go- she may not have the armor she did before, but she's still one tough old broad. She has to shake her head to clear it, though, and so she can't really make out what Tessan is mumbling.
Well, and the hand over the other woman's mouth might make a difference.
Kate slowly starts to lower her hand, though if Tessan starts shouting, she's clamping it back in place.
"What was that, lad?" she says quietly, though still with the force of a demand.

Tessan continues to squirm. She is a sleep-deprived, caffeinated Wrecker! Kate may or may not get hit with an elbow.
She demands, "Kup, when did you get a Pretender shell!?"

"I ain't got a Pretender shell, you knuckle-head, any more than you do!" she hisses as she's elbowed. Then she frowns and looks suspiciously down at Tessan. "You, erm, don't have a Pretender shell, do you?"
Because man, if she does, and she's still really Twin Twist the male (or genderless?) robot, Kate's going to be amazingly jealous.
"And watch the volume on the answer. Don't want the humans overhearing." Well. Humans who are not Kate and possibly Tessan.

"Oof! Quit it!" Kate grunts as she's elbowed once more. She attempts to elbow Tessan hard in return, then glances towards the door before leaning forward and whispering into the other woman's ear, "Because a 'Con wouldn't know that when you got here, you got your... soul or whatever tied up with Topspin's spark."

Tessan pauses in the middle of an attempt to knee Kate when Kate successfully identifies herself. Her eyes go wide, and she asks, her voice very small, "I'm not in trouble, am I?"
Something about Kate being a cop made Tessan very nervous, remember.

"As long as you quit elbowin' me and acting like a moron, no," Kate snaps. Then she seems to realize something. "I s'pose asking you to quit acting like a moron is asking too much. Anyway, quit fighting me, and don't take off when I let you go. We needa talk."
With that, she lets go of Tessan, watching carefully in case the other attempts to take off again, ready to grab her if necessary.

Kate only told her to stop elbowing her. Tessan has many other fine, deadly body parts... She considers. There is a long, hard moment. Then she stops struggling. Tessan remains tense and suspicious, but she sits where she is. She takes another drag of her espresso Mountain Dew, and then she says flatly, "Okay."

Kate gives Tessan a wary look, then finally sits back down and picks her coffee back up off the coffee table. "Haven't sorted out what happened yet." She's not yet found out about the phone number, at this point she hasn't been able to contact the other Autobots. "I'm guessing it has something to do with that mission Rodimus was on, but..." she shakes her head.
"I take it this... whatever didn't give you a background to go with your new body."

"I work here. I do what I'm told," Tessan replies, as if the words are a protective shield.
Idly, she picks up the mangled bottle cap and shreds it a bit more with her drill.
"I don't know what you mean about background. I had a security check when I arrived here - after I got done escaping that Decepticon ship. Shame I couldn't toast the whole thing..."

"No, I mean..." she sighs. It's not just that she has to explain what's a rather complex matter. It's that she has to explain it to a dumb person, which makes things a bit more difficult. "Look, when I woke up in this body, the organic one," she gestures, "I found I had another set of memories. Still got mine, too, but I got a second set for a human life. Growing up, going to school... hell, even getting married and divorced. And when I check into it, there's records for me and everything, but..." she shrugs. "I didn't put them there."

"Oh," Tessan says. After some thought, she asks, "Was he a Technobot or a Decepticon?"
Yes, that is seriously the first thing she thinks. Tessan just defaults to male because she's from a Marvel universe. Then she shakes her head and explains, "No, I don't remember anything other than thinking about putting some holes into the floor of my room and then... being in this mine, working here. I don't think I've ever been married. Or gone to school."

Kate shrugs. "Naw, he was just a jerk," she answers. When Tessan observes that she doesn't think she's ever gone to school, Kate mutters, "Yeah, I buy that," then louder, "Well, unfortunately, I don't got much for you. There was an incident in my reality, Rodimus, Springer, Magnus and Arcee all got put in human bodies, but it wasn't as... elaborate as all this," she gestures to herself, then Tessan. "So I guess hang tight, and as soon as I get anything, I'll pass it along."

"So, keep mining?" Tessan asks. She looks visibly relieved. "Whew. I thought you'd decided I was a Berserker and were gonna take me in."
