[Video][Open to all][The Return]

[megaton]

[He and his party have been returning for the last few days, a ragged, shaken group who are nevertheless still alive. They are survivors, and Megatron seems to take a sort of pride in that...walking tall and steady despite an obvious limp. A few blades are slung from his back like trophies, and one or two still have alien-looking hands attached at the hilt.]

I must admit concession to whoever told me it was folly to approach the badlands.

[Here he is. Returned. He wishes he could say it was a relief.]

You were right...

...but so was I.

[He tosses a blade down, letting it imbed in the safe soil at his feet.] Their numbers are greater than ours. If they should attack at full strength, I doubt we would last long.

So why do they not attack us yet?

[He smirks, but it's a bitter smirk.] I have a theory.

We may even be able to use it to our advantage.

Those who offered their support are welcome to this information. Those who did not? Well. We're all in this together, aren't we?

[It doesn't mean he's going to tell. Not right away.]

I'll be at the Hub if anyone wants to hear our stories. If there are any medics thinking about attending...you'll be needed.

[The ones who had come along had done amazingly given the lack of facilities and traveling circumstances, and more weren't going to hurt.]

It is good to see that you survived, were there any casualties on our side?

I would be very interested in hearing what you have to say.

[songofmypeople]

Welcome back.

[Though slight, there's an edge of paternal fondness that shines through his tone, which he doesn't even bother disguising.

The hero of our story returns!]

[fugitrix]

[ She didn't get to dismember your legs and leave you to be ravaged by the Badlands, but maybe another time.

She's got her own collection of the blades; might as well keep some spoils of the battle. ]

I'm interested in your thoughts.

[thxforthememories]

"They"?

That doesn't tell us anything.

[sciencetank]

Well, since you're perfectly prepared to hear it.

We told you so.

[video]

[laharl]

You weren't too bad out there, I suppose I can allow you to become my vassal.

[Because that's totally what this was all about right]

[Video | Private]

[rungout]

I'm glad to see you back and functioning still, Megatron.

[There might have been some worry over all of this. Just some though.]

And you have missed quite a bit but its of no concern until you and your comrades are looked over.

[namesnotprowl]

Think I'll save gloating f'r after everyone gets medical attention.

[But he told you so.]

You're lucky I have a weakness for stories, Sparrow. I wanna hear everything.

[raceme]

Welcome back. I'll come over and see if I can be of assistance even thought I'm no medic. [He wants to hear those theories ans stories, but making sure everyone's safe and healed is more important.]

[Video] Making a bit of an assumption with how the reporting went once they met back up...

[notyourblueangel]

((ooc: ...since it's not gonna be played out. Let me know if I need to modify anything. =D))


[This Megatron has won back at least some of the Seeker's respect, and not out of fear which in itself spoke volumes. Had this been his own Megatron, when he and Ventus had failed to show up when they were supposed to, there would have been the Pit to pay. Thundercracker had been prepared - braced, really - to take the brunt his warlord's wrath, knowing he'd be left injured either way but the human likely dead if he didn't, be that by accident or on purpose. But this mech . . . well, things had gone differently, for which the Seeker was thankful, to say the least.]

[It is with much less bracing than he's felt in quite some time that Thundercracker responds to the warlord's post.]

Lord Megatron, I would be interested in hearing your theories. I've wondered as much myself.

I'll be there soon, and I'm no medic, but I can help with some of the more basic field repairs if necessary.

[eternallove]

Oh, are we going to share stories about our trip Mister Megatron?


[Because that is exactly what her little vapid mind translated that as.]

[zer0thassassin]

How enjoyable!
The best challenge I've had here.
Schedule the next trip.

[Being pinned up like a bug against a rock is 'fun' for Zer0, apparently? Did he miss the part where they all almost died? Is he okay with that? Is he completely missing any sense of self-preservation?]

[originaldragoon]

I am certainly glad that we manage to get out of there in one piece for the most part. It could have been worse.

[She sighs some, mostly because she's tired.]

I am interested in hearing some of you theories though.

[video]

[adamndoctor]

So, seems like you had fun. Better than starting a war, huh?

[but in all seriousness] Well, I might not have been on your little field trip, but how 'bout you share that theory anyway?

[He had to watch the kids! Speaking of which, WHEN HE FINDS MIKO...]

[Video]

[deceptionshark]

[It doesn't take a genius to figure out who you are.]

I would be most interested to hear you theory, Megatron.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

Don't think I got to ask, but are you doing okay?

I'd come see you, but I think I'm going to have to take it easy for a while.

[treacherous_widow]

[The moment she catches sight of the various blades he's carrying, Blackarachnia's interested. Especially seeing there might still be things attached to said blades.

Instead of appearing on the network, she decides to investigate in person. The she-spider may be lurking in the shadows around the larger mech and even skittering close enough to look at the blades. Eventually she does speak from a safe distance.

Just in case. ]

So, what's your theory tall dark and gruesome?

[Video]

[projecticeman]

[Whatever you have to say, he really doesn't care about.

He's far more interested in the fact that the things he'd been hearing were true.]

So...there are other versions of me. How interesting.

[rednotbluethx]

Even if I can't remember a lot that happened after, it was AWESOME! We should do it again some time!
