[So he'd made it. He'd made it, he was alive, and he was still here. He could see the distant temples from the mountain he stood on, some ancient and run-down building in ruins behind him. Despite the dilapidation, there is a very new 'STARSCREAM FOR OVERSEER' poster tacked onto the wall within his view...the perfect place for a high-flying, far-ranging jet to test out non-permanent adhesives without anyone noticing.]

So.

[He begins by reaching out, aiming, and completely blasting the wall and accompanying poster.]

Is there anyone who actually intends to vote for Starscream?

No... At least, you're the first I've seen.

Then we're going to make the best of it, aren't we?

[He smirks.]

If I'm not dead, and you're not dead, then that is reason enough to keep going.

Tell me, is the rest of this planet still as desolate as this rock I'm standing on?

[Lifting his head, Ventus nods. Of all people, he's not one to disagree on that.]

You're right. I don't understand any of this, but I'm glad to see you again.

Not much has changed around here, unfortunately. Where are you anyway?

[That gets him. He still finds it hard to believe that people can be glad to see him for simply being...him, and not for what he can offer.]

Are you always so amicable?

[He appreciates it, in some tiny, sealed-off corner of his Megatrony spark. He'll use it, too, but at least he appreciates it.]

I'm atop what passes for a mountain a few dozen miles from the Haven. [It had been his best shot for determining his OP.]

Do you believe in luck, Ventus?

[That finally gets a little of the usual smile from him.]

I try to be.

[He tilts his head, wondering what Magnum's doing way out there.]

Did you head out there yourself? Where did you wake up?

[And at the last question, he gives a slow, thoughtful nod.]

I guess I kinda do.

Not a bad trait. You'll catch more enemies off-guard, that way.

[He smiles back, intending to leave it as a question of whether that is serious or a joke.]

I came back online a bit further out than this with my comms down and my navigational system out of alignment. With the mountain in view...it seemed the best chance I had of finding my position.

[There's a better signal up here, as well. Who knew?]

Good. Then if you care to grant some to me, I could use it. It's been a while since I've given my flight-mode a test drive.

[No, he's not sure how to take that, but he'll grin, nonetheless.]

Wait, outside of Haven? That's weird. Uh. ...do you still not have a glyph?

[He can't help but be a little anxious at that. The last thing he wants is a repeat of that event.]

I definitely wish you luck then. Um, and if you don't mind, maybe I can come join you?

No. I bear a brand, same as you. [He gestures down to his black mark, not pleased by it, but perhaps relieved.]

Join me?

On a mountaintop?

[No. Wait. You had some sort of hovercraft. He remembers it...]

[Oh, Ventus looks very relieved to hear it too, even though he understands this less and less.]

Yeah, I just have to figure out which direction to start off for.

Save your power. I'm already being retrieved.

I would be...interested...in attempting another flight with you at some point, however.

[Because it is easier to wobble around in front of humans than it is in front of Decepticons he's supposed to be impressing.]

Ah, got it.

[That's good to know, at least. He doesn't want anyone getting lost outside of the Haven.

He smiles a little at the next.]

Really? Sure..! Whenever you're ready for it, definitely.

I will let you know. Perhaps you can give me some advice on keeping steady.

I'll try, at least..!
