[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?

Most of the time.

[He was still trying to figure out what HE was.]

That does not surprise me. However, it all depends on how competent the other organization is...doesn't it? Those who get things done should make the rules.

Truth.

[Barricade is not going near that; Megatron came back from being a zombie the last time he saw him in Axiom to being Glyphless here. He's clearly only going to go up.]

This is true. Of course, there hasn't exactly been an organization to challenge the law-makers. Not yet, that is.

It might not be a bad idea to form one. Quietly, for now.

Just in case.

[Something that would be ready for the Law Committee's eventual collapse.]

And this is where the 'us' comes in, I take it?

Can't say that I'd object.

[Even if he kind of vouched for all of this himself, he's slightly wary about one group getting too much power.]

You always did catch on quickly.

We are 'Decepticons.' Perhaps its time we began our deceptions.

Occasionally I manage t'keep up.

[He's been reminding people of the gouged emblems on his pauldrons since he got here, proclaiming his lack of allegiance. But here... he doesn't.

Barricade always knew he'd reconsidered for this mech.]

Perhaps it is. Dare I ask what you've got in mind?

[megaton]

I'm going to take care of business.

[He laughs.]

I'll be pleasant. I'll gain allies and trust. I'll make them believe I'm not who they think I am...or that I AM who they think I am...

And once I have enough manpower, then I will either break down the frail walls between realities, or I will build a new one, here.

United.

How ominous, sparrow~

You've got a lot t'contend with, even if they don't have all that revolting paperwork here. And getting out is hardly as easy as applying for an exit visa and waiting a few dozen centuries.

And you'll have the FirstForged's order to contend with too.

[Not that Barricade thinks Megatron can't handle all of that. He came back from death and zombification, after all.]

Stop making it sound so enjoyable, Barricade.

Now are you joining me, or do I have to hunt you down and make an example of you?

[He knows the answer, judging by his grin.]

[namesnotprowl]

Much as I'm curious how you'd plan to make an example of me, you hunting me down would be just too easy to bother with.

[He smirks lazily, cocking his head slightly.]

You just wanna hear me say it, don't you, Megatron?

It would make me feel better to know I'm worth switching sides for, yes.

[namesnotprowl]

Ah, little bit of ego-stroking huh? Well, you're lucky I'm in such a good mood, Sparrow~

Yes. I'm with you. So long as we keep this between us, for now; I've a reputation around here to maintain.
