For all that we are 'chosen hosts' of these 'Infinity Gems,' our gracious host seems to dole out more requests than give a proper explanation first.

[ Megatron here simply doesn't like being left in the dark. there are more answers out there and he likes to be properly informed so he can actually access the situation and come up with a solution that's more agreeable for him ( and now apparently those he feels somewhat responsible for ). ]

What I am interested in, for the moment, is the sort of individuals [ YEAH, OKAY SO HE STILL HAS A LITTLE PROBLEM DEALING WITH ORGANICS, ALL RIGHT ] that I will be working with until this is all sorted. [ yeah, that's... that's about as much of a 'hello, who are you' that he can muster. ] Talents and skills, more specifically.

Drift, when you have a moment, I would like to speak with you. For other Cybertronians like myself, I would ask that if you are a crew member of the Lost Light, to get with me as soon as possible.

[ there's a pause, as if he is thinking about saying something... but then he does. ]

Oh, and Starscream. It would be a real pity if you decide to revisit one of your favorite pastimes. [ ha ha no it wouldn't. he'd love to tear your spark casing out if things got out of hand. maybe he'd even mount it on the wall for all to see. ...probably not. ]

I have no idea what you are talking about.

[Except yeah, he does.]

And I don't think you have the authority anymore to attempt to boss me around anyway.

Since you decided to join team good guy and all.

It isn't an attempt, dear Starscream to boss you around. I have no hope of you ever coming around and seeing reason either.

This was a threat.

[Drift totally has a moment. Even if he's been wanting to spend most moments catching up with Wing and Rodimus, that feels a little, you know, selfish; so maybe he should do something useful here.]

Yes, si---[no he totally wasn't gonna say SIR.]---omething you need?

That's not very Autobot-like of you. Shouldn't you stop and ask yourself "what would Optimus Prime say?"

[ totally catches that. pretends he doesn't. ]

Information, what else?

I could care less what Prime would say in this situation.

[la la la totally good with pretending to be on the same page about pretending.]

Of what sort?

[He doubts you want to know that his RPMs were a little high this morning and that his holistic energies are unbalanced by a foreign object.]

All right. I'm going to need to go down a check-list.

So you ...

- joined the Autobots
- Transform into a tank instead of a gun
- No longer obsessed with Optimus Prime for some reason
- are an Autobot

Did I mention the whole Autobot thing? Because that's the part I'm still not quite clear on.

[ keep your drippy hippy stuff - or however that goes - to yourself. nobody cares about your spiritualism here 8V ]

On what happened at the Observation Deck?

[ DID YOU REALLY NOT EXPECT HIM TO DRILL YOU ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED THERE???? ]

If we are going by the checklist...

- I took up the badge to prove that anyone has the ability to change their colors. Unfortunately for us that's quite literal.
- A gun is one of my many altmodes over the years - I was a flier for a short period as well.
- My 'obsession' with Optimus is no concern of yours as we have an understanding of sorts.
- Yes, an Autobot.

I do realize that you are missing some vital components in processes, Starscream, but do try to keep up.

My processor is functioning fine, but I'm really wondering about yours.

And here I had hoped for so much more.

[ LYING THROUGH HIS TEETH. ]

And here I hoped that 'you' would stay dead. I guess we don't always get what we want.

[That's it. Next time they're together he's going to ~~come at you~~ try some gentle persuasion with his aura and see if that makes you less cranky.]

Uh. Yes. That.

[Drift's going to leave out the gloriously embarrassing parts m'kay?]

There was another host of aliens there. Wispy things, could avoid any attack. Except that it seemed that the more of us that attacked at once the harder it was for them to do it. They only have one physical vulnerability, in the chest.

[And thus it was like playing whack-a-mole with air elementals.]

Perhaps that is something only you are afflicted with.

No, I'm pretty sure you have that issue too.

[Or at least Starscream hopes Megatron does. If not, he'll just have to make it his goal to 'help' Megatron fail in whatever it is he attempts to do here.]

[ just give him Rodimus. that will FOR SURE brighten up his day. ]

Precognition, perhaps. [ it's not uncommon, anyway. ] Do you have any idea what they were after there?

[ the Observation Deck seems like an odd area to want control over. ]

You will never know.

[ but please. bring it on. he wants to see Starscream fail. repeatedly. ]

My point still stands. If you put this ship and anyone's lives at risk, I will see to it personally that your empty shell will be all that remains on this ship.

If it makes you feel any better, I do not currently have any plans for genocidal destruction or universal domination.

[Yet. He might decide he should be the ruler of this place later.]

It had best stay that way.

I liked you better as a Decepticon.

[Patience! He's still giving the most relevant part of his report.]

Yeah. That's what someone called it. It's as if they knew when and where we going to attack. [He shakes his helm with a frown.] No idea. It's big open, empty space.

Unless....a big open space was what they needed...?

[ pausing... just for a moment here. then, finally: ]

I did as well.

Edited 2014-07-03 21:50 (UTC)

[ might not be able to see this or hear it, but Megatron is thinking. Drift is likely familiar with the silence. ]

Perhaps we should find a way to ask our new 'friends.'

[There is a slightly long, awkward pause in response before]

Then why did you do it?

[He can't believe he's having this conversation with Megatron. Why can't Megatron just go back to the status quo of being a big brute who punches things? At least that is normal]
