Video [Transmission Originating From: Megatronus's Quadrant]

[redshirtrobot]

[The video comes on rather unexpectedly, and there's... really not that much to see besides a blur of mottled brown and green, and purple and silver. The sound is really more interesting for a while, all clattering and banging and someone shrieking. After a while of this there's a sound like 'whumph whumph whumph', each noise accompanied by a flash on the screen. Eventually the movement stops, until the purple blur shoves around and extracts itself...

And reveals it's a certain Vehicon, armor dented and paint scratched. One of his arms is converted into a rifle.]

I... I think I killed it.






...






I killed it!

[At least he sounds happy until the horrible centipede starts twitching in its death throes... at which point Fracas yelps sharply and starts shooting it again until it stops moving.

And then he kicks it. Just to be sure.]

Okay now it's dead.

Pssssh no way, man. That's just what they tell you! That's what the Man wants you to believe! It's all busywork to keep you out of trouble.

... But I like being out of trouble, it means I get to live.

And without the ship we're kind of out of luck anyway...

Look. There's 'in trouble' and there's just 'not being a suck up'.

Would you? Really? [Somewhere in an alternate dimension, Grif is brofisting him.] Or would you just not be dragged half-ass across the galaxy to kill shit you don't really care about?

Well that's the problem. If I don't we're stuck on earth. No offense, but I really don't want to be on earth forever. And I definitely don't want to be shot there.

[It's like being in Bruges.]

... Also my boss would literally kill me, probably.
