re_alignment | [Video] - from Vector Prime's temple, backdated a shade to earlier last night

[No matter if you see this when Cliffjumper actually makes the broadcast, or later, he looks definitely... pinched. Optics a shade too bright, mouth pressed in a thin line. It's all because he's making this just a bit after this happened.]

You guys maybe wanna make sure ya lock your doors, and anything extra even if these rooms are apparently hard to get in to if you ain't the owner.

I just had some fraggin' Decepticreep [and wow, is that epithet more fitting than ever] in black and neon yellow, green and orange creep up on me! Ain't got a clue what the point was---

[He breaks off with a little snarl of his engine, and out of view, one hand balls up and then relaxes again.]

... Vector Prime? Er... sorry 'bout the damage. [He was startled and angry.]

[Then he sort of... opens his mouth, closes it, and glares with a shrug off screen. He can't quite make himself ask Soundwave and Megatron is they're free tomorrow.]

[Locked to IDW!Optimus Prime]

... Prime... Could you. Er. I just... if you're up, you got enough room for a visitor?

[Optimus was, after all, around when that happened in Axiom, the reason he's more rattled than, perhaps, he otherwise would be from this episode. Was around, and had helped.]

...Excuse me?

Optimus Prime destroyed the one thing that could save Cybertron.

[Sorry, Dead End, she's from before then.]

Okay, now I know you're full of scrap. Optimus would never do that.

[So is he, but Knock Out was a bit forward with that info.]

He's an Autobot, I wouldn't put it past him.

And you're a Decepticon. I wouldn't put it past you to lie.

Well we ever get back there, don't say I didn't warn you.

[She still doesn't believe him, but at the off chance it's true...]

Even if Optimus did do something like that, he must've had a good reason. Besides, we wouldn't need to repair Cybertron if Decepticons didn't destroy it in the first place.

He probably destroyed it because he could.

And don't act like you Autobots aren't responsible for what happened to Cybertron as well. The war doesn't have just one side.

I think our reason for fighting is a little more justified than yours. If Megatron didn't throw his tantrum, we wouldn't have had a war to begin with.

And just what are you fighting for?

Keeping Decepticons from ruining my life and everyone else's.

You're a bit late there.

[His life was ruined by being a Decepticon. But he's not one to complain. Just brood.]

And who says we're so bad?

[He doesn't count, Decepticons don't deserve happiness.

...It makes sense to her.]

All of you did. Every single Decepticon lost anything redeemable about them the moment they joined.

I didn't join, I was hired. Your side could have hired me if they really wanted.

[But being a mercenary probably makes him worse for this conversation.]

[Probably. Don't tell her, shhh.]

And you took it anyway.

It was pick a side or die. Yes, I took the job.

Great, so you're a coward.

I'm not a coward.

[He's one of the bravest on his team... Not that it really shows all that often these days.]

Then if you didn't want to join, you would've done something about it. You're either a coward or have no problem supporting the Decepticon cause.

Either way, you're everything I hate.

Great... So I take it I'm a "shoot on sight" if you ever see me?

You're "shoot on sight" if I see you doing anything against my team or anyone else for that matter. Like breaking into rooms. I'm not a Decepticon, I don't attack if I don't have a reason to.

Who's your team? And uh... what counts as doing something against them?

The little guy had no problem shooting at me on sight.

You broke into his room, I don't blame him.

[She would have done the same thing.

Also no team list for you.]

[Sigh.]

Can I at least get some idea on what I'm not supposed to do.

[Because he's probably broken a few rules already.]

[Arcee really has to worry if he doesn't know what decent behavior is. ...Then again, 'Con.]

Attacking for no reason? Think you can handle that?
