[Video or ACTIONSPAM!][All over the place.]

[megaton]

[This begins so simply, with Megatron, in a cave, standing in front of the beginnings of the interdimensional space bridge he and his allies had been working on. There is a foundation, already constructed. There is even a power source in the form of a lovely generator nearby.]

If you believe I would let something as meaningless as a glyph keep me from my goals, you are mistaken.

I will continue.

Nothing will keep me from going home.

[He's going to do this. If he has some small headache, that means nothing. This won't stop him.]

There are only a few pieces more that are needed.

[A list scrolls, detailing parts that aren't assembled yet.] If anyone has access to these, I will be coming for them.

We are not finished.

Not yet.

[This is the only hope that he can give. For others...and for himself.]

((OOC NOTE: Megs will be patrolling the Haven while he responds to any replies. If you wish to have him run into you (as he begins to go Glyphless mad) then just put [Action] in your title! He will likely start out okay and then suddenly attack.))

Comments

Nope. Not here either.

[songofmypeople]

[Collecting machine components for you isn't his job, but he's still v. pleased with all that you've accomplished so far.

+1 Tarn tracked video.
He looks forward to seeing how things play out, and more importantly, how you'll be responding to things should they happen.

On the inside he's cheering you on, Megatron! Rah rah. Fight the power. And then murder it. And then take it for your own.]

video;

[namesnotprowl]

[Barricade just whistles low, to start.]

You've worked fast. I'll see if I can scrounge any of that up in my supplies, if you want. Even bring it by for you.

[Because he's being struck once again by the fact that he is completely unable to really rectify this situation and the best he can manage is offering a shoulder, whether physical... or metaphorical, here.]

video;

[megaton]

I haven't needed to disguise my proceedings.

Unlike...other places.

[Axiom. /cough.]

There may still be a chance to finish...

[There is. He's sure of it. He's sure he will overpower this. In the cave, it's not so bad.]

So bring them. Immediately.

[action]

[aerospacecommander]

[Oh look there is Megatron. Starscream hadn't really been looking for him, but considering the message he saw on the link ...

Might as well check in. So he lands, stupidly nearby of course.]

Shouldn't you be sitting on a throne somewhere plotting angrily?

[action]

[megaton]

A throne, Starscream?

[The sound of jet turbines is almost a welcome one, as it drowns out the whispers for a moment.]

I do not have time for thrones, right now...unless you've found one I ought to be occupying?

ACTION;

[inferiordude]

[As promised, Soundwave has been keeping an eye on your little area, Megatron. But to see you marching around as you are...

Well, he's coming down for a little hello.]

Magnum, yo.

ACTION;

[megaton]

[Walking about...has been harder than he thought. Perhaps it was the cave, but it is harder to think, out here. Harder to remember which piece he was going after first.

With Soundwave's approach, the chaos lessens.]

I should have sought you earlier. [It's a simple statement, but it makes sense to him. He knows what you are capable of. The idea that you can clear his head, even momentarily? It's something he should be taking advantage of.]

Have you heard from Starscream?

[Video]

[ichooseboth]

You've worked fast.

[He's not surprised by this; not any more.]

I have a handful of component parts and supplies I've been able to scrounge up in the junkyard; I can't vouch for their functionality, though. I'm hardly a scientist.

[He'll just. Ignore the whole 'glyphless' thing now. Optimus is waiting for it, vigilant for that possibility, but he isn't going to be so tactless as to mention it.

The situation is cruel enough, even for a Megatron.]

[Video]

[megaton]

[That's what she said.]

I had good assistants. [A reasonable number, too.] We had a common goal, and I, frankly, prefer it this way.

It would help if there hadn't been a deadline.

[Which he's ignoring. He's not too late.]

Can you bring them?

[video]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[Just... give him a moment]

I'm afraid I've nothing to offer that you'll be needing.

I do hope you finish your portal before your health becomes... problematic.

[frowns] And when you go back, maybe you can change things for the better. Not into what the war eventually became.

[video]

[megaton]

My health is not what I am worried about.

This portal is much more important. Finishing it...

...will solve everything.

[He hears what you are saying, at least.] I kept up my end of the bargain. [He spoke with Tarn.] The least you could do is help me find the last few things I need.

[Video]

[rungout]

Are..you certain this is wise? You should be seeking help from a medic or a FirstForged given....

[Given the whole 'The glyphless will go crazy' thing. He looks uncomfortable saying that though.]

....Is there anything I can do to help?

[Video]

[megaton]

Given what seems inevitable? [He finishes the sentence for you.]

It is not.

It is not inevitable. [He'll work through it. However, he appreciates the offer.]

There is. There is, yes. If I can complete this... [Then he can leave. There will be nothing to worry about.]

Have you seen any of these materials? [The ones on the list.]

[video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Little behind the Prime Program here, aren't you?

It's too late.

[He'll hold up a pic of Ironfist. He hated Ironfist just slightly less than he hated everyone else, because he has to admit, the chunky geek made him look almost as badaft as he really was.]

Missing anyone?

[video]

[megaton]

I am missing everyone.

[Just seeing Whirl makes the whispers become louder, and it isn't hard to fathom why.]

But that means nothing.

[He looks at the picture.] Him, as well?

AUDIO;

[forcowardice]

Lord Megatron.

Misfire's dead. My calculations-- are just nonsense. I can't.

I can't do this.

AUDIO;

[megaton]

[Misfire was dead?]

...

[This was all going so wrong. So, so wrong.]

Fulcrum. Where are you?

[video - YOU DON'T GET TO LEAVE UNTIL FRENZY SAYS GOODBYE ;A;]

[rednotbluethx]

[He looks concerned - in the way that Frenzy is able to convey a sympathetic emotion or whatever]

Boss... Ya don't sound too good.

[but]

As fer dat list, I can look around for ya! See if I can find some scrap in the junk!

[video - THEN GOODBYES WE SHALL SAY]

[megaton]

Don't I?

[His optics flash for a moment, before he steadies them.]

Yes. [That...that is good.]

I need them. Immediately, if possible.

[Before he does something he regrets.]

[Action]

[treacherous_widow]

[While Megatron's wandering around, there's a certain spider observing him. Lets see if he notices the widow.]

[Action]

[megaton]

[He...doesn't.]

[Not at first, distracted as he is by the urgency of his task and the uncertainty he feels about his attack on Soundwave.]

[Still, he is out looking for parts, and when one of those parts looks suspiciously like mandibles, his optics narrow up at you.]

Black Arachnia?

[It could not be...not the same one he knew from before, at least.]

[Video/Action]

[winged_knight]

[Drift would be back, Wing just had to be...patient. He had to have Faith. In the meantime, things were falling apart left and right. He can barely keep up with it all, half of him numb as he is, but this...he has a hard time turning away from.]

Megatron...are you that close? To finishing?

[Video/Action]

[megaton]

Many of the parts have been assembled. [He gestures to a pile behind him, next to the base.]

But, frankly...

No. I am not.

[It is an aggravation, but it will not prevent him from continuing.] It would go faster with more hands.

[Action] *SOB* Late! . . . and been /wanting/ to interact with this guy too! OTL

[notyourblueangel]

[Thundercracker's comms have been on the fritz ever since he was rescued returned from the edge of the Badlands after succumbing to the Calling. Thus he's missed learning the identities of most of the newest arrivals. He just knows there are Glyphless out there that need to be dealt with. So now he's out with some pairs of stasis cuffs he got from some of the police, aiming to help round up - or kill - Glyphless before things get any more out of hand.]

[So imagine his surprise when he rounds a corner to find - to nearly run into, even? - a mech he's been hoping NOT to see any time soon.]

Lord...Lord Megatron!?

[He has to fight to keep the dismay FEAR surprise from his voice, his optics brightening all the same, wings hitching high behind his shoulders.]

[Action] You're fine~

[megaton]

[Megatron is stalking, angrily, through the Junk yard, searching for parts to finish his portal. The day has gone from bad to terrible, and he knows there is not much time....but he can't stop.

He won't stop.

Thus, when he nearly drops the few pieces he has collected when slamming headfirst into a sturdy blue jet, his immediate reaction is aggravation instead of surprise.]

How dare you--

[Which is, of course, followed by recognition, and a sharp pain from his head has him dropping the other parts anyhow.]

Thundercracker?
