re_alignment | [Video] - Bugs bugs bugs, but they glow, so it's like Christmas spirit?

[The video comes on to Jetfire frowning thoughtfully at one of his hands, held up and... apparently crawling with pinpoints of moving lights. He shakes it, and there's a veritable cloud of winking lights exploding in all directions.

Some of them fly past the screen close enough to reveal they're tiny, dragonfly-like metal bugs. That glow.]

There was an accident, and the thirty of these that I had contained in my lab and were developing were let out. It seems their replication matrix is working, because they're certainly not thirty any longer.

I apologise if they are a... er, nuisance.

I am rather sure I can hazard a guess from a few cycles of observing that the replication matrix is working correctly though, since while they've become more as a response to the greater space available outside of the lab, I believe they're not replicating completely out of hand.

[He shakes his helm slowly, dislodging a crowd tiny bugs that has landed on his helm and nasal ridge.]

Hopefully they'll... spread outside of Haven soon.

Dat's what you think! C'mooooon, you think I ain't gone toe ta toe wit' someone as big an' stupid as you?

If yer tryin' t'scare me, it ain't workin'. It's only makin' me want t'knock yer lights out even more.

Insulting me on grounds I know aren't true isn't going to make me go out after you right this very moment, Frenzy.

[Or insulting him at all, really. Starscream's said worse, with more meaning behind it when they fought after he left the Decepticons.]

And I'm merely pointing out the probable differences between me and what you've probably mostly fought before... Especially as the only alternate I've met of myself, that was here briefly, was larger than I am, and had a completely different altmode.

[Which would give some differences.]

[He grabs at his head, frustrated] Oh my Primus don't you ever shuddup wit' all the GEEK tawk!? Dis is how Screamer got ya locked up in yer lab! Though gotta wonder how ya dinnit see it comin' what wit' yer big fraggin' head an' all!

[He doesn't mean that in a literal sense, though your head is pretty huge.]

[And this is even rather shortly held compared to the real elaborations he tends to stumble into rather often.]

I am a scientist. [Dry voice accompanied by a tilt of Jetfire's helm and a bland expression.]

And no, me talking isn't how he got me... I was merely not expecting it, because there was no reason for him to do that.

[He's not going to say that it's because he trusts Starscream. Which he does. Even when he shouldn't, or at least more than he should.]

Yea, well, Starscream said he was a scientist, too. An' look how dat turned out.

So far all I've seen is you bein' trapped in yer own lab an' makin' a bunch of bugs thatacha axdently let loose. G'job, scientist!

What, the fact that he is one and is capable of using his skills for that, or the fact that he choses to no longer do so and mostly fight?

[Sorry, Frenzy, the Starscream Jetfire knows is at least somehwat more obviously an actual scientist, still.]

These things happen. [Jetfire shrugs, philosophical and not particularly bothered by the mocking.] The bugs are small and harmless, no one has been hurt, and there's not been any incidents with cerebro-shells or weapons into hands that they shouldn't end up in.

He ain't never been no scientist, an' he ain't never will be!

[Sorry, all Starscreams register as dumb to him, Jet.]

Wait, ya know 'bout cerebro-shells an' makin' weapons? [grins] Now yer tawkin'! Make summa those!

Perhaps not the one you know, Frenzy. And while I can make weapons, no. I'm not going to make some for you.

[And what he knows about cerebro-shells and their use, if not their make, he's not going to talk about. At all.]

Boo! Jus' like an Autobot t'wuss outta somethin'. No wonder ya can't fight fer scrap.

[COME ON GRANDPA BRING IT ON I'LL SHOW YOU THE TRUE MEANING OF AN ASS KICKING]

Edited 2013-01-01 13:15 (UTC)

Given that we haven't fought, you have no idea how I'd conduct myself in a fight, and I fail to see how providing a Decepticon with weapons is something I should be doing... as an Autobot?

[He'll just... cock his helm and give Frenzy a dry stare. What did you want, for him to act like a "typical" Autobot, or for him not to even when you still called him one?]

[YAWN]

Yer borin' me, Autobot. It's amazin' I ain't hung up all ready. Get back t'me when ya wanna grow yerself some brass bearin's, 'kay?

[hangs up on you YOU WUSSY]
