[It has been a lunar cycle since he found himself mysteriously resurrected for the second? third? time, and Megatron has spent most of it feeling odd. He refused to take residence in any of the Firstforged's temples, and had returned to his cave in the mountain where the base of his trans-dimensional space bridge had been built...]

[...and then he hadn't known what to do. Every time he'd attempted to return to his universe he'd been shunted onto a different path. Should he try it again, to go home and resume his war? Or was it time for something new?]

Fear.

[He starts, looking off towards the setting sun.]

Fear is something I have heard much about. Fear of the Badlands. Fear of loosing one's friends, lovers, allies, and close connections. Fear of each other. Fear of the Firstforged.

I propose it is time to do something about that fear.

[He wasn't giving up on his space-bridge. Not yet. For now, however, he was going to focus his power on a different task.]

I have decided to embark upon a quest. From what I have been told, the Firstforged have been far from forthcoming on information about this world, about their adversaries, and about our place within it.

I cannot tolerate being left ignorant. Anyone who has information about the badlands, the Firstforged, or their own, personal fears...

[He laughs.]

You are welcome to join me. I'll be leaving to fight my way as close to the badlands as I can get in three days.

I'll share what I learn with those who do the same.

[Megatron closes with coordinates to his cave--an invitation to come speak with him in private before he goes.]

[LOCKED TO DECEPTICONS]

I don't care what your previous universe is. If you bore the mark or went through the ceremony, I want to hear from you. Now. Tell me who your Firstforged is.

[LOCKED TO TARN]

I have a proposal.

[LOCKED TO VEN]

Are you free tomorrow?

Fear...or wariness from observation?

Is what you choose to look at it as.

The badlands? ...You're going to die. Again. [Not that it matters to him- you always come back.]

I woke up there and I couldn't remember anything. You might learn something but you might forget you learned it, too.

Isn't fear itself the thing we have to fear?

Hi, Crow T Robot, Decepticon here.

Edited 2013-06-20 01:41 (UTC)

Fighting is completely pointless, I don't know what you hope to prove by doing so.

[That just smells like more work for her.]

Whether it is true fear or caution, it would it not be improved by some illumination?

[He doesn't like not knowing what is out there, and whether he should be using it or destroying it.]

Am I?

What do you know of the badlands?

[No, seriously. Tell him.]

You are not the only one.

[It's a fate he shared, to some extent.]

My memory was not taken, however--only my life. I'm beginning to wonder which would be worse.

Interested in trying again?

I believe fear itself is the thing we must be cautious of. A true Decepticon might have fear...but would not let that stop him.

Which is--

[Wait.]

[Stare.]

Did you say...Decepticon?

[He knows there are some significant universal differences, but THIS?]

Not all fighting is done with weapons.

[Though the best kind is.]

I intend to learn precisely what we're up against--if it is even a real threat at all.

I don't know everything about what you're asking Mister, but I'll help too. I'm a lot stronger then I look.

[Because you robots never believe she can do what she says she can do.]

((OOC: Placeholder. I have to go to bed and work early tomorrow so I likely won't get to tag back until I get home. Sorry.))

Yep, that's right!

[Taps the symbol emblazoned on him.]

See? Boy, I can't believe I'm part of the world's mot popularized franchises!

[Red Alert doesn't particularly care what happens to Decepticons, but at the same time she takes her duty as one of the Haven's medics very seriously.]

And if you or any of your followers perish or get hurt along the way?

[Not that she expects you to care. It doesn't take much to figure out who you are.]

The Badlands're death. Still, I'd join you, Sparrow, if I didn't have so much on my plate already. Someone oughta keep your aft out of the fire, after all.

[Locked]

There was no ceremony to it, but f'r what it's worth I'm Solus-aligned.
Before you leave, I have things I should give you. In person. In private. But I'll need some time before all of its ready.

Why don't you guess?

Your proposal?

[The field trip sounds like fun too, but he's not sure he'll join. He has other things to do after all: places to go, people to murder with extreme prejudice, the usual.]

[Tiniest Decepticon of them all, though the text doesn't really give anything away.]

Mine is Trionic, though I started out with Maxic.

Edited 2013-06-20 02:08 (UTC)

If you go there. You die. It's as simple at that. [Shrug]

It's happened a million times now.

But... You'd all die.

[LOCKED]
I'm- my Firstforged is Alpha Trion.

I won't die.

[He growls.]

Who has it happened to, then? And has anyone tried FLYING over it?

[Because you have wings, and you're about to get conscripted.]

[He knows he shouldn't ask, but he does anyhow.]

The Decepticons.

Are a franchise. In your universe?

Are you now?

[Once upon a time, he'd have been disdainful of the thought. Meeting Mikaela had taught him differently.]

Very well. What are your skills?

[He's going to take this seriously until given reason not to. Besides, you volunteered.]

((No problem I can be a slow tagger too~))

Perhaps, although it depends on if it is merely a fool's errand or actually essential.

I have observed the badlands myself. Some go in, many do not come out.
