[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.]

[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.]

[Forever Locked]

[maxicpolarity]

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.

[songofmypeople]

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?

[maxicpolarity]

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.]

[songofmypeople]

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.]

[maxicpolarity]

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.]

[songofmypeople]

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.

[maxicpolarity]

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.]
