Of course I kept my rethorical skills, even if I had lost a bit of focus at that point. Optimus might be a fool, but it would have been useful had he joined me.

However, I wonder at how simple you are if you think all that had happened would truly have made me as base as you thought.

[He chuckles, dryly and surprisingly soft. Not so much unused as at a pitch not normally used.]

It's a wonder you can muster the brain power to let me speak, mundane.

[You'd think that word was an insult... on the other hand, he probably just made it one.]

At least you aren't completely hopeless, even if my presence at that game would never work... I do approve of the plans you'd ascribe me.

Fitting very well with my original plan for Cybertron and the universe.

[You can just hear the non-voiced laughter under those words. Not a very nice one, unsurprisingly.]

[There's some definitive difference, yes... This one would never really have used something like the Infiltration Protocol, for one.]

At home, as well as this game, then? Since where you are presently you seem to have settled a fair bit more than elsewhere. [A short, contemplative pause. He might be slightly... incredulous.]

And you'd bother to look for, even less follow, said instructions if there'd been any?

Oh, I've only just started where I am, now. [sounding oddly proud of himself--but he gets a handle on that at the next part--and his tone is soft.]

You promised me command someday.

I did, did I?

[That, frankly, is incomprehensible. While Starscream possesses the positions that he does for several reasons, one of which did include at least passable leadership skills (which had been confirmed at points), why would he - even an alternate of him - ever..?]

Such a future being real or not, my alternate seems to think it's a good idea to dangle an impossibility in front of you.

[There might be a sneer, there. He knows perfectly well what Starscream is capable of, that doesn't mean it'd be a good idea to encourage it. Though it seems to have made some impression on this one.]

[jokingly] You mean you're never going to retire?

...No, but. Think what you like. I believed him. And I've realized taking him, or you, down by force isn't going to get me what I want.

Despite attempts otherwise, no. Not for the forseeable future.

[And he started a war that's still going on, even if it's had stops and starts, just as a distraction for rebuilding/repairing the plantary turbines for future space-wandering conquering. He plans long-term.

Despite the harsh words, he's... obviously, somewhat amused.]

Actually thinking further than your wings reach? [That could have been mocking, but it's actually somewhat thoughtful.] There is obviously a reason you are where you are.

[There's a slight tilt of his helm and his arms crossed over his chestplates.]

Hm. No rest for the wicked.

[folds his arms, wings giving a little decisive flick of dismissal back, finding he has to work overtime to hold onto his sense of self around Megatron. It was familiarly unpleasant.]

Yeah, I'm pretty incredible. Why don't you tell me more about me?

If I'd stay idle, I, as well as the Decepticons, would get nowhere.

[And maybe he just doesn't want - can't, really - to let go. The motion of the wings gets a brief, mostly dismissive glance.]

You rarely need to be told of your virtues, such as they are, or in what quantities they may be found... You usually do quite an excellent job of that yourself.

[Or are you going to dispute that, Starscream?]

Yeah, you're not like mine. [and this itself is dismissive back, rigid, challenging, angry. Megatron the stone he always whets himself against, comes away worn and lessened for it, but sharper. Always sharper.] Pity. I really wouldn't have minded seeing you again.

Similarities nothwithstanding, I'm sure both he and I... as well as you and the Starscream I count as my Air Commander, do possess some differences.

[The smirk is slow, sharp. Hungry. He did not really stage an uprising against a corrupt government for that sake itself... no, that was merely a consequence. His reasons were... murkier, but also a lot more idealistic, in a way.]

It would have been... interesting, yes. An opportunity, if nothing else, even if I need to put my house in order in my own reality, as it were.
