[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.

Your welcome?

[The sudden change in tone is about the only thing she doesn't understand and is paying attention to.]

Of course, I mean, you haven't threatened me or suggested I go off into dark places on my own, so you must be a pretty nice guy!

I don't see any reason to threaten you. [and this, at least, is sincere. Just like he wouldn't spent time kicking turbofoxes, or crushing insects, there's little to be gained these days by threatening humans.]

And it'd be nice if your friend showed up. [For you, anyway.] Can you keep a secret, Miko?

That makes you pretty different from the Starscream from my world. [She doesn't think about it that way, but if that is what keeps her safe she won't put up too much of a fuss.]

Yeah, I can totally keep secrets. [She looks a bit more excited at that kind of question.]

[he can see he's going to need protoform gloves with this Starscream.] It looks like they're breeding Decepticons varying levels of harsh, depending on the universe. [maybe the one from her world had a harder life than he did. Let's face it, if he'll cut anyone slack, it'll be another Starscream.]

Just between us... I've never really talked to a human before. Will you tell me if I'm making a fool of myself?

I don't know, maybe. But between us most of the time it seems like he's just trying too hard, and just seems a bit pathetic. [She gives a shrug. Miko is enough of a show person to appreciate a good villain, unfortunately that Starscream isn't always a good villain.]

Sure thing, I'll make sure to help you out where you need it. You're doing really well so far.
