[Megatronus Prime doesn't look happy – not that 'happy' is an emotion he displays regularly nor easy to identify on those rare occasions that he does, but his frown at the moment is exceptionally severe. The last week and a half have been lousy, to put it mildly.

Losing the trail of the monster he'd been chasing, having his judgement questioned, a rather strained meeting with the other Firstforged... It all tends to wear down a mech's patience.]

I trust that the recent bloodshed has been enough to sate even the most violent appetites.

[It doesn't look like he's going to be terribly sympathetic if it wasn't, however.]

Let it be known that these circumstances – the killing of your comrades – were exceptional. On behalf of my fellow Firstforged, let me make it clear:

[He moves towards the camera, close enough that subtle flames can be seen shifting between the cracks of his armor plates and the slats in his mask. Make no mistake: he is addressing you directly, dear refugee.]

You are strictly forbidden to murder one another.

Henceforth, those who choose to ignore this decree will face corrective measures at the hands of their Firstforged. We will no longer tolerate anyone weakening our own forces with infighting. I don't care how much you may or may not like each other. Any refugee bearing a Glyph is permitted to exist within the Haven without having to fear for their life.

Should any of you object to this imposition, I welcome you to settle it with me in the arena.

[He leans back from the feed, his expression shifting from 'threat of imminent violence' to the more familiar 'general contempt for other lifeforms.']

I trust that this message has been sufficiently direct. If you have questions, make them succinct and ask them now.

I bet you say that to everyone.

And you know the mechs?

I've faced down a planet eater, been sucked into the Negative-verse and pit against some of the most terrifying creatures my universe can come up with, and I've had to hunt down and exterminate face stealers that farkin' took the guise of my teammates--my friends--and kill them without a second thought.

You think I throw away my life for no gain? I'm one of the blokes that protects the entire farkin' universe where I'm from.

[Rocket sneers, ears falling back against as his grip on his pistol tightens.]

Seems to me if anyone should be talking down to anyone, it's me to you, considering I'm not the one that lost an entire planet at some point in the course of various timelines.

[deadlydoctor]

We would only be giving each other a hand, I can multitask. But I understand.

[Life is pretty ironic sometimes, who knows.]

[rednotbluethx]

[It may hurt you, but you win either way, because the words "tearing things apart" immediately earns a HUGE grin from Frenzy.] Frag! Dat sounds awesome! I'm good at tearin' things apart too. Though you can never tear apart enough stuff, can ya? I could do it all day, y'know. [He leans forward] Hey, you ever need help tearin' slag up, y'just lemme know, okay? I'm yer mech.

He won't tamper wit' my systems 'cause I'm, y'know, a Decepticon? Yea, yea, "factions don't mean nuttin' here," but still.

[redshirtrobot]

One of them, at least. I'm not even sure who all else he hurt...

[But Wheeljack. Wasn't so bad, once he got used to him.]

[winged_knight]

[That certainly seems fitting to Wing.]

[And flat or not, Wing takes it for what it is. Simply because gratitude is a rare commodity doesn't mean he should be a part of that trend.]

I would not mind knowing, sometime, simply to understand. But I imagine that is not something you exactly share.

It is perhaps the greatest thing we should be expressing thanks for. [He nods gravely, because he has reaped this benefit just recently, though, not directly. That does make me consider something though...]

[He's your boy, Megatronus!]


Maybe I'm just, you know, all about being prepared.

[You're just jealous that you don't have cool schwag like kittens to hand out.]

[neverputincharge]

Yeah, with any luck. Rather not see more have ta go through this.
