[Broadcasting perched on an outcropping over a lava flow, seemingly sounding unbothered by the misstep into a sideways universe--first rule of Decepticon Club is never let em know you're scared.]

So, this looks like Cybertron--actually, a lot like the one I just came from. But from my recon, it's either a time, a space, or a time and space displacement.

Little bee, are you here? [elaborating] I'm looking for an Autobot named Bumblebee. About this high--[indicates short, midchest height]--gold, kinda stout. I'll also accept Metalhawk, Wheeljack - Soundwave? How about Prowl, with my luck he's here. [Bueller?]

--For the rest of you, my name is Starscream. Maybe you've heard of me. [and he's smirking a little self-indulgently at the thought. No matter how dangerous or inconvenient it might be to be preknown in a brave new world, it's nice to be important.]

I'm here to help.

Yeh. [For a while he's not sure he should say any more. Given the events before they got pulled here though, he wasn't sure who he trusted over who anymore.] Honestly? He's not doing that bad, given the responsibility. Sure he made some bad decisions but I think he's working on improving. But yeah. I hope so too.

I'm not sure how I should feel about that. Anyway, what about you? Who are you with?

We've all had to change pretty quick--big changes that usually take time. [but time is in short supply, and he knows it.] Considering the circumstances, he's doing pretty well.

Liege Maximo. As far as I can gather, he's a scientist--and according to Jetfire, he has some "ethics" issues. I don't know, I haven't met him, yet. Apparently he's keeping to himself, most of the time. [But typical Starscream is already trying to think of ways to secure an advantageous position, he's not about to openly criticize his apparent new boss.] So should I come see you?

[A nod. The question about whether or not he was doing well enough... well. That wasn't something Wheeljack wanted to think about. Also, given their current situation, it might not matter.]
Do ya think things are still going on back there without us?

Mmm. I haven't met any of these Firstforged yet so I can't say anything either way. Granted they are letting us stay in these 'domains' they've got set up.
[Shrug.]
If you wanna? I don't have much going on here yet. I found a decent space to set up a workshop but not much to fill it with.

...You know, I really hope they're not. We're a little important. [Especially me says his tone] If we get back and Cybertron's at war again... [he trails off. He doesn't need to mention how terribad it would be; he knows Wheelhack knows.] ...There's no sense dwelling on hypotheticals, though. We should work with what we have and what we can do in the here and now.

If you tell me what you need, I can probably arrange to get you components, or something. [if this junkpile thing is all it's been advertised as, anyway.]
