[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?

But never enough.

[Which Megatron found useful...and occasionally exciting. Giving things to Dirge was an unending delight, because the jet never tired of receiving them.]

Better?

Is it as good as possessing the rank of supreme Air Commander?

[dirge]

Right. That hasn't changed.

[Did you say 'supreme'? Dirge cocks his head to one side, silently calculating the worth of the two things in question.]

...It depends. One of them might fix my problem.

[dirge]

Better offer? [You're not going to come over there and slag him?]

I'm surprised you haven't guessed yet. [Smug grin] Tarn's let me have a spark, Magnum. Not a cybertronian one yet, but...

[He laughs.]

You're trying that again, Dirge? It did not work so well the last time...

Re: [Video]

[dirge]

Don't laugh! [Dirge snarls, nearly crushing his communicator.]

I can't think of anything else! Maybe if I... maybe if I keep trying.... it'll work. [There's an audible sniffle from his vents.]

That's a waste of a good spark, I'd say. Imagine what you could do with it if you put it in a body, and used it for your own purposes?
