[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?

[Let's just turn this into a private conversation shall we?]

Things..are a mess, if I'm going to be quite honest. We seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to the criminal that insist on causing problems here and everything seems to be at a bit of a standstill.

[Rung shakes his head a bit, vents cycling softly.]

If it's not one bad thing it's another and bots just keep arriving that do nothing to help the situation, for the most part at least.

There is bound to be tension, when those who have fought for millions of years suddenly share meals together.

That isn't the only part of it, though, is it.

Which I understand. It's only natural to feel weary and hesitant to trust those that you've fought or that are similar to those you've fought back home. But in a place like this...

It...what are you getting at, exactly?

[Because you seem to be catching onto something he's unsure about, Megs.]

[megaton]

I keep hearing about disappearances? The ever present terror of the badlands?

The Firstforged themselves interfering with the workings of the community?

It doesn't sound as if this environment is one that any society could sprout from.

Ah--

[So that's what you meant, Megs.]

It's..there are definitely a lot of kinks to work out of the system. But that doesn't mean there isn't the potential for a working society. The biggest issue is the trust between the residents.

The fact that no one feels safe.

[Very slowly, he smirks.]

That might be something I can help with.

...I'm not sure whether to feel nervous or pleased with that notion, Megatron.

[It's hard to tell with a Megatron, after all.]

[megaton]

There are some demons I can slay...others I cannot.

I'll start with the ones I can.

For now...I'll just have to hope you can trust me.

[He's unsure, he really is. But there's something about this version of Megatron...Rung doesn't trust him fully but..]


If there's anything I can do to help...let me know. And keep yourself safe, Megatron. Declarations like this tend to lead to trouble down the line and I don't want to see anyone else harmed.
