Seeing no other alternative, Viktor resigned himself to whatever was to come and moved onward after the hulking Zaunite before him. He steeled himself, readying his autonomous arm to fire in case he and the doctor happened to be attacked. He managed to remain only a couple of feet behind the good discolored doctor, who seemed all too excited to get to the bottom of this. He himself didn't care about the cause of the incident nor the circumstances that led to it, he only wanted to rescue the survivors so that they would consider joining the Glorious Evolution.
"So, Doctor, how have you been as of late? It has been some time since we last saw each other, hasn't it?" Deciding to initiate a conversation with his only company seemed to Viktor like a better alternative to merely walking in silence, which only only be grounds for his mind to reflect on all that has happened to him.

Viktor listened nonchalantly to the behemoth Zaunite's response, and almost immediately regretted starting conversation with him. "Mundoburger" just sounded so......So silly, as far as the Machine Herald's standards went. "Power Transfer", "Gravity Field", "Death Ray", "Chaos Storm", even "Hex Core" held some serious impact in its name. But "Mundoburger", truly there was never a less serious name before their time - and that's including Heimerdinger's "Drain Out Of Mana" machine some time ago. "I see....Well, I suppose that's good. Keeping busy when not called upon by the League to fight on the Fields of Justice, I can't deny that I've spent a few minutes wondering what exactly you do in that corporate nightmare you call an office." It was clear by his tone that Viktor meant no offense towards the good doctor or his assets, but it was no secret that Viktor himself didn't seem fond of certain financial and marketing ploys. Which would come as no surprise considering what happened to the artificially augmented Zaunite three years ago.
Viktor, following closely behind the larger Zaunite, stopped in his tracks upon hearing Dr. Mundo's question. After joining the League and engaging on the Fields of Justice, he had come to assume that nobody doubted his claim that he had 'relinquished his flesh', but now a discrepancy rears its ugly head. The Machine Herald let out an exasperated and disgruntled sigh, as he knew better than to lie to the Madman, who was known to never relent once he had made up his mind. His curiosity had to be sated. "I know all too well that once you begin after something you will not cease until you have it, Doctor, so I will answer your question. I am.....not yet fully evolved, and do indeed retain a degree of my flesh. My arms and legs are purely artificial, and I have taken measures to implant certain regulatory devices within my remaining biology. Though I have yet to accomplish safely removing and replacing my vital organs such as my lungs, heart, and brain....."

"Haah... Mundo see... Mundo understand difficulty to replace vital organs. Mundo not deal with it though. Mundo all flesh, no metal, except cleavers." *sluuurp*
The doctor trotted on as he spoke.
"Mundo think fleshy bits not like metal body, no? Mundo think fleshy bits need checking. Mundo also think Viktor need Doctor for metal organs."
At this point, he stopped dead in his tracks, to turn and look at Viktor.
"Mundo is Doctor..."
He had one of those crazy smiles on his face, one of interest, and anticipation.
Viktor stared warily at the larger doctor as he spoke about Viktor's unique methodology in comparison to his own, until it became all too clear what the discolored brute of a Zaunite had in mind. Although his face was covered by his mask so as to obscure the expression he wore, Viktor was quite alarmed at Dr. Mundo's implications. The Herald had heard the rumors, the stories revolving his fellow Zaunite Champion. The accounts of those who had caught a glimpse of the Madman of Zaun on one of his many excursions through the city-state.
Suffice it to say, they weren't at all pleasant.
But here, and now, he stood face-to-face with Zaun's most prolific son. A man who had earned the respect of even the Noxian people. He found himself at a crossroads that threatened to destroy him utterly, and rebuild him into something better. Viktor had found it difficult to work on his flesh without outside assistance, and though he now had followers it didn't help much. The man before him had far more medical knowledge and experience than he, which was so minute that it was due entirely to the fact that he wasn't medically inclined that he couldn't fully complete his evolution. It was time for him to decide, whether he would fully commit to his "Glorious Evolution" that will pave the future or become just a minor name in the footnotes of history.
"Doctor.....I mean, Mundo. Your offer would frighten most others. However, not me. For I have designed the necessary devices with which to supplant my physiology. Your medical expertise would benefit us both significantly, me for my goal of evolving beyond my flesh and you for advancing your research into the human body. Either way, I no longer wish to remain a mere human and for this reason, and this reason only, I accept your proposal. However, understandably, I have some conditions which we can discuss after this entire mess is settled." Viktor stared fearlessly, almost eagerly, at the larger Zaunite before him. What this unholy alliance would bring about, only time would tell...

"Mundo know, Mundo and Viktor work details out later."
Though it was not shown, since a grim and maddened smile was always plastered upon the Doctor's face, he was simply ecstatic inside, almost like a giddy child running around with a new toy. The Doctor was already thinking of various ways to implement a set of lungs and an artificial heart into the Machine Herald's body, although... the brain. That was something which truly had no immediate answer two, although Mundo had many ideas for the first two vital organs. So, Mundo thought it best to save the Brain for later and much more dedicated time and study into a mechanized cerebral replacement, although what and how would be the truly complicated answer to such a simple question.
"How does one go about making an artificial brain?"
Dr. Mundo would surely have to discuss this with Viktor in length at a later time.
Viktor reluctantly followed after the hulking Zaunite before him, his mind weighed down heavily by thoughts of what he and the doctor would accomplish during their collaboration. The Machine Herald found himself thrust into circumstances he could neither understand nor find the means to comprehend, as he tread with careful and meticulous steps behind Dr. Mundo. If anything, he Madman of Zaun would make an excellent diversion if they should encounter anything less than human or civil. In fact, the mechanically augmented Zaunite had no plans to directly confront any potential monster the pair might come across, instead preferring to utilize the range of his various devices if push came to shove.
