[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?

Just call me McCoy.

And now that I remember your name, I remember you're apparently rather famous among your robot pals here. Warlord, they say. I do hope you hung that title up when the Lambda dropped you here.

[megaton]

A single name?

I like that in a human.

[It made things easier.]

They're being generous. I've only started one war, that hardly makes me adept at it. [He smirks.]

[video]

[adamndoctor]

Not quite, but it's sufficient.

One war's enough, don't you think? I'm sure you can find other hobbies here.

[megaton]

It takes time, people, and resources to craft a decent-looking war. I don't think any of those are available to me, here...

Therefore, I appear to be fresh out of luck. What would you suggest?

[adamndoctor]

You seem the arts and crafts type. You ever take up writin' poetry? [He's joking, BUT LITTLE DOES HE KNOW.]

[video]

[megaton]

The last time I tried writing poetry, it caused civil unrest and started a massacre.

It might be best to leave the pen alone this time.

I do have one idea for what I can do, though.

[video]

[adamndoctor]

Yeah, well, that comes with the territory sometimes. Nothing unknown to us humans, either. Remind me to recommend you "Fahrenheit 451", if a copy drops in through the Lambda some time.

[pause] What would this "idea" of yours entail? And should humans and organics alike be concerned? [There are kids here, Megatron!]

[megaton]

If you should happen upon useful words, I would gladly take a look at them.

[If he could see them on the page, or find someone to hold it open for him. Your books are SMALL.]

Concerned? I'm hardly the threat you should be worried about. [He laughs.] No. I intend to tackle something much, much greater...

I intend to find the secret of the Badlands.
