[ Well look who it is, transmitting directly from her sickbed. She has a nice wrap of bandages around her head, covering what would have been her right eye. She frowns at the camera, at least she's looking more alert and rested. ]

Okay, motherfuckers. If my calendar is correct, it's only a few days 'till Christmas.

I know a couple of us humans and even some bots are helping decorate and that's fucking awesome but we need some damn festivities.

I need some volunteers for caroling. Obviously I'm not going to be able to go running around so you guys have to be willing to come to me so I can teach you some songs.

Drift, Wing, Perceptor. I expect you three to do it. If you don't I'll be pissed. Soundwave, I don't really imagine I have to threaten you to participate. Anyone else is welcome and encouraged.

[ Somebody's trying very hard to look and sound like everything is fine. Stiff upper lip. ]

Hey, Firstforged? I want some snow. Never really seen it up close and personal, but you can't convince me one of you can't whip up some industrial-sized snow-maker device. I believe in you.

I hope you all have been good while I was gone. Santa Claus is coming and all of that good stuff.

No... You said it was worse than death. Just want to make sure I can leave a nice corpse since whatever it does will probably kill me. Even if it's not supposed to.

Dude.

I LIED.

Or you could be lying now.

Why would I?

Why would you lie before?

To have a bit of fun scaring a naive robot.

It sounds worse when I say it out loud.

You think death is fun?

No, I think fooling bots about human customs is. Nobody is going to die.

Right...

Until this Santa happens.

Dude. Santa isn't even real.

Why should I believe you?

Why shouldn't you?

Because you act like everyone else does, and everyone hates me.

Why would anyone hate you? You don't give me a hate vibe. You give me a sort of sad and impressionable vibe.

Because I'm a Decepticon and they just. Do.

Well I have no problem with Decepticons, and that's just shitty.

I'm going to assume that means something bad, and assuming it does, that's just how life is. Everyone hates you and you just have to deal with it.

I kinda know that feeling actually.

You're human. Who would hate you?

Plenty of people back where I'm from.

[ She points to her gauze-covered eye. ]

And some here. Enough to do this.

You're still alive and you seem to have a lot of friends here. I really don't think you know what it's like.

You think I did back where I come from? Look, I may not be in the exact same situation, but believe me, I know what it's like to be alone and hated, alright?

[ She learned that on Titan Station, betrayed by everyone, a wanted criminal, mass murderer. Yeah. She knows that feel. ]

I guess...

Christ. Maybe chin up a little. I don't hate you?

Not yet.

[But you will.]
