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.]

[No . . . no, he does NOT want to talk to the tyrant, thank you OH so very much, mundane! But . . . as he's been kicked to the forefront of the headspace from his fellow ~~puppets~~ muses, he'll straighten and offer the overlord a small, stiff bow.]

Lord Megatron, it is...good to see you, sir.

[You didn't notice that faint hesitation. At least, he hopes not. Because he really does hate lying...but what else was he supposed to say?]

Oh, you can't drop by?

How disappointing.

[Unfortunately for you, Thundercracker, he did notice the hesitation as indicated by the slight twitch of his helm. But that, truly, is par of the course for this Seeker so... he'll let it slide.]

Indeed. How good, though, I wonder.

[Or maybe he won't. But that's technically more rethorical than an actual question... the show of respect has at least earned that.]

Nevermind that. If I understand these things correctly [and by his tone, he doesn't think he's wrong] you seemed to have survived destroying a bomb better than Superion did.

[He doesn't really have issues with why it was done, or that it effectively went against an alternate's orders.]

I doubt it'd be possible.

[A pause simply so he can stare, perhaps amused.]

"Disappointing"? Lying has never been something you engage in well, Starscream, and apparently that holds true across dimensions.

I've been thinking very strenuously about never lying again ever, actually.

[ha ha he can't say it without laughing]

Uh. ..but really. It's not that I wouldn't be thrilled to see you. Your presence just ...complicates.

[Thoughtful headtilt from the robot girl.]

You would be amazed what they can do when they set their minds to it, these mun people.

Oh, so you've grown to like humans now? Optimus Prime would be so proud.

[You won't be offended if he stares and then laughs, then.]

I'll be impressed if that happens. That would truly be rising above your base nature.

[Arch look and then a sneer.]

And you seem to have settled, though I can say the same of the one I count as my own second in command.

[Humans thinking they can create something perfect like cybertronians in pale imitations of themselves... amuses him as much as it sickens.]

Doubtful, as my possible precense there relies on the fact that another... that she "plays" there might interfere.

[He doesn't really mind, though it's a pity to loose the chance for such plans as have been presented.]

And when, exactly, did I profess this "like", Starscream?

[Helmtilt and narrow stare. So few words and already living dangerously.]

You don't exactly give praise to those you hate.

And you're so very sure about that, I see.

[He'll just... Look you up and down.]

I give praise where it's due, regardless of any feelings.

Well, its good to know we're still on the same page then.

[Meaning you should praise him more.]

So she wishes to bring you in as opposition to that other person? Or has decided against you because the two of you would be at odds?

[What is it with evil robots and hubris? Is it some sort of standard feature?]

A pity you don't come to such an understanding more often.

[Praise you more you say? He praises you exactly as much as you deserve. Sometimes even that is too much.]

Hardly. Merely that one of the ones she already has present might be too closely connected to an individual I would have to interact with, as unfortunate... and necessary, as that is.

[No, just a feature of Megatron's, and at least he's got a few ways to back those things up.]

If I was just like you, your life would be boring.

[He smirks, slow, sharp and with way too much teeth ~~even if another Megatron has them all beat in the shark-smiles department~~.]

Admittedly, true. You're not completely hopeless however.

[And no matter how much he'd like to forget it, the Seeker's similarities are great enough to be both annoying, frustrating, and a cautionary warning.]

No, disrespect meant, Lord Megatron, but I am your best and most important soldier.

Or so you claim, even while your best use comes from actually listening to me and doing what I have told you.

[Except in the air, but that was, as given, Starscream's domain and with reason.]

[Hmm, most interesting.

Suppose it's bad that his first thoughts are him wondering how well he can best himself in a fight. Perhaps another day.]

Mundanes are not well known for their thinking capacity.

[He's being generous in assuming that they're capable of thought at all.]

[bemused optic blinking. This is not quite the flavor he's accustomed to.]

Uh huh, yeah, I've ...settled. My version of you didn't leave coded instructions, exactly, so I've been cleaving closer to my own plans.

[Bad? Hardly, since he briefly had the same thoughts himself; he can best others more or less easily (Optimus Prime sometimes in that group or not), but himself?]

That would be the least of it, as well as lacking in their ability in seeing certain subtlelties of our persons.

[He's not impressed at all that it took the mundane that long to actually see the similarites between his speech to Optimus and his past. Oratory drama was something he was well-versed in.]

[Also, you'll surely forgive him for slowly circling. This is indeed most interesting.]

[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?

[There's no greater challenge for Megatron than Megatron himself... and he loves it. In the back of his mind he can imagine their battle and, of course, his own triumph. This is a most unique opportunity.]

For such small creatures I would not believe that they are as arrogant and foolish as they are. But they are just full of surprises.

[Megatron is extremely confident in his fighting abilities. His arrogance allows the other Megatron to circle him while he stands proudly still, waiting to see if the other one will make the first move. A sharp grin tugs at his mouth and his fingers twitch in anticipation.]

Optimus Prime's protection of them is... amusing in a way.
