[Broadcast to all]

[It had started. If the strange electric feeling in the air hadn't clued him in, the fact that Dark Convoy had found him and talked with him would have cemented it. It had also given him an idea.]

Brothers...sister. Be ready. The time is soon.

To all those lacking Glyphs, I extend an invitation to you.

When the dark touch of chaos touches your minds, come find me. I may not be able to cure you of your ills, but at least in studying your descent I may find the tools to understand it.

[He has no more to say, and so he waits to see if there are any takers.]

[This could be interesting... He's been curious how was is all going to play out.

+1 for Tarn-tracked broadcasts]

[He's been sensing something...

...something that feels like Prima, and yet like something completely different, as well.]

...

[It takes him a while, but he knows he can track it down.]

I see you.

[This is both unexpected and flattering. Also, that 'could be interesting' has been upgraded to a straight-on'very interesting'.]

[Tarn's voice is all voice, and right now it's a rich, dark thing.]

Do you? And do you like what you see, Liege Maximo?

Whether I like what I see or not is irrelevant. You're here for a reason, after all.

[And this...

...this is something worth sampling, by sound alone. The timbre is unusual: multilayered, with partials that resonate to match lower and higher tones.]

You're looking for something. [He says, tentative at first as he attempts to delve into that which he has some perview over.] ...an edge.

[But what? And over whom?]

Looking for something - yes. But aren't we all?

Isn't that in our nature as self-determining creatures? That we should strive for something; some greater state, some greater purpose. To be more than what we start as? To manifest our goals.

As for my purpose here... Care to enlighten?

[It's both poetic, and grandiose. Liege is beginning to see why there were parts of him that reeked of Prima.]

What we strive for is what defines us.

I would be powerful, indeed, to be able to discern such. [Which is why he's lucky it's a part of his purview--not that he'd admit that openly to anyone.]

Do you find my announcement pertinent to your goals?

[That's not the answer to his question.]

I simply wish to educate myself. Will you help me accomplish this?

I noticed you extending an invitation to Blackarachnia.

[And currently, that is something he wants. Among other things.]

Ah, so you are looking for your own purpose, so to speak.

[That, he would be happy to help with.]

Do you have any experience in taking mechs apart?

[Let's be frank(ish) here]

My purpose is the purpose of my cause. The Decepticon cause.

[And here Tarn's words practically roll off the Link to twine around ankles and rub up against shins.]

Of that particular art, I am a virtuoso.

[That voice has claws.]

That cause does not exist here.

[As far as he's been able to tell, at least.]

But there are other causes you may find to your liking. [He tilts his head, a bit more fascinated by that voice.]

I may extend the same offer, for instance. If I like what I see of your assistance, you will be granted one of my labs.

Once a Decepticon has sworn themselves to Megatron, there exists no alternative. They die Decepticons or they die mourning the mistake of renouncing what they once stood for.

[It isn't the lab he wants, but the contents. Science is Vos's interest, not his. Scalpels, acids, bladed tools, and restraints on the other hand... oh yes, yes those he would like very much to get his hands on.]

What kind of assistance are you looking for?

Do they, now? [How...interesting.] Do you intend to swear yourself to Megatronus Prime, then? Even though you wear Prima's mark?

Or is there only one 'true' Megatron, for you?

[Ah, philosophy.]

There is only one of me. I need others who can follow instructions I provide. My intent is to try out various effects of energy I've sampled on those who have fallen. [Something, surely, will counteract Unicron's influence.]

Megatronus, while similar in name is not the miner-turned-gladiator of Kaon, nor is he the one who led the battle that concurred Tarn. There is only one Megatron. [And then because he's aware of what's been happening here.]

Should there be more with the same name, there is only one to whom I owe my loyalty. I am his Decepticon first, regardless of what additional marks I may wear.

[Prima and Megatronus haven't done diddly squat for him so far. Screw those guys.]

And where does an application of energy meet the careful deconstruction of the body? [No ethical qualms here, no siree.]

But what use do outside wars and outside allegiances have, here?

[It's a curiosity. You ask good questions, though, so he provides you with his current coordinates, so that you may join him.]

I am curious which part manifests the symptoms, first. If that can be located, or, perhaps, swapped, then there may be no further issues. [In other words, lets shove sparks into other bodies! It will be fun.]

My allegiance is relevant to my morals and code of ethics -- very personally important, you understand. I hold myself to only the highest of standards. To abandon my faction would be to lose who I am, and what I, and so many other noble Decepticons, stand for. That wouldn't be proper, and I could hardly uphold justice if I lost my way.

[Ooh! Coordinates! Transforming and rolling out now.]

Then I look forward to how I can be of service. I have a particular talent with sparks that you might find constructive.

[He's not 100% sure you're implying the same science experiments he thinks you are, but there's no harm in letting Liege know that the mech he's found is not only cultured, but talented too~.]

I'm en-rout.

Yet you will only be capable of upholding this 'justice' you speak of should you manage to return to your home galaxy.

Which means, in essence, we have similar goals. [Control of the Lambda, namely.]

I am always eager to learn. [Especially about one of his brethren's ilk.]

[Perma-Locked - voice only - he's nothing special to look at, it's the voice that's the prize]

[Perma-Locked - video on this end, because he has no reason to not.]
