[Video] - transmission from Liege Maximo's temple

Hm... [Jetfire looks... somewhat like he feels out of his depth when the feed pops on, an expression somewhere between thoughtful and awkward.]

If you were going to give a gift to mark an occasion, would you match it to the other individual involved, or the event itself? [He shakes his helm, pausing and intending to rephrase but can't quite come up with something... This just isn't his particular area really.]

[A while after this question was asked, a second message, locked this time, gets tagged on.]
[Locked to DW!Starscream]
Come meet me on that cliff a bit outside Solus Prime's quadrant? The one that overlooks the forest.

Well, when we get back, I'll just murder my alternate and take his place using my superior knowledge to an advantage.

[Because only Starscream would consider killing his own alternate for power.]

Or I could make it my goal to destroy every one of my alternates and become one vast singularity.

[angleofscience]

Starscream... [The hand Jetfire extricates from having them crossed so he can rub his jaw and lower face might hide the exasperated smile, but doesn't hide the amusement underlaying Starscream's name. He tried, though.]

I believe the multiverse is... ah, big enough for all of you, and when we return, wouldn't we appear in the reality that would be affected by our dissappearance, not the original one?

[Keep your ambitions slightly realistic why don't you? Shaking his helm, Jetfire stepped sideways and up behind Starscream and slipped an arm around his waist.]

[aerospacecommander]

[Starscream snorted but allows this, though he's not quite through talking.]

If there is a reality left ... considering our "disappearance."

[You know with Sunstorm blowing up and all.]

And no, it's not. There should only be one of me. Ever.

[angleofscience]

... Well, unless Sunstorm's power source was even more powerful than it suggested, he should only have been able to devastate Earth, though there could, I suppose, have been some unforeseen chain reaction...

[Sighing, Jetfire rests his chin on top of the nearest shoulder vent (handy), thumb slowly trailing over amber glass.]

And there is only one of you, as the others are variations, and not, exactly you.

[Though, that gave the question of what reality had been the 'first' one, if such a thing was possible, and which of any of them, long gone or not, was... the first iteration?]
