[Audio] [Locked to Blurr & Sideswipe]

[Locked to Blurr]

Libellula. I was wondering if we could meet up somewhere private. I have many questions I need to ask you about recent events.

[Locked to Sideswipe]

Sideswipe. It appears we are the only two from our world left.

[It's a strange feeling, actually...]

[And...he'll just walk from the entrance to the temple to the room, peeking in.]

Argento?

[He's exactly where he said he'd be. But sprawled out on the bed, applying oil to his knee joints.]

Yep. What's got you all bothered?

[You mean aside from the fact you have one leg wrapped around your head?]

[There's a five second stare. Really, with how Mirage feels about this, how could he NOT stare at the actual cat Sideswipe lying on his/their bed.]

...

Ah. It's about...Barricade.

What about him?

[He doesn't even look up.]

I don't see why you're so worried about that waste of space, anyway.

He warned me about something.

[Those wings flick as he takes a seat at the foot of the bed, holding the datastick in between his thin fingers.]

And...gave me this.

He was probably lying.

[It's his default answer to anything relating to Decepticons. He glances over at what Mirage is holding, but shrugs.]

What's that? A virus card?

Not this time, Sideswipe. He was rather...personal about it.

[And that's as far as he'll go on that!]

It's...how things end back home. In detail.

Sure he was. So you'd trust him.

[So much skepticism here.]

... More like, what he wants you to think happened back home.

I don't see what he would gain out of it if he was leaving, Sideswipe. And...he's helped us before.

[Those wings flick again.]

It just doesn't seem like a trick. I'm an expert on detecting those.

Maybe he's not actually leaving. Ever think of that?

[He jabs the wax buffer thing at Mirage's chest.]

I don't see why you're trusting anything a Decepticon says.

[He looks down at that buffer, hand wrapping around his wrist.]

And what is he going to do? Attack us? He's had plenty of chances before.

And he's an Ex-Decepticon.

[He blinks, and looks down at his grasped hand.]

Why are you defending him...?

[Those fingers dance over Sideswipe's, momentarily intertwining with his own.]

Because I have this feeling he's right.

About a number of things.

He's a Decepticon.

One of Megatron's murderers. You can't be serious.

Sideswipe, it is in our nature to change isn't it?

Sentinel di-

...

[SHUTTING UP.]

They don't change. They never change.

... what?

...

They do, Sideswipe. I've seen it.

I don't believe it.

I'm not going to believe it.

Sideswipe!

I need you to trust me on this! He said some other things...about this world.

About some people.

I trust you!

I don't trust him!

Then trust me!

[Those hands go to his shoulders, blue eyes narrowed.]

He said something about someone here. That they're doing something to people without knowing.

[His own optics are blazing, angry, annoyed... worried... but he makes no move to shove the other bot away.]

What are you talking about?

...

He said there's someone here we have to watch out for. The one with needles in his fingers.

[For emphasis, he wiggles his fingers on his right hand, held up.]

... The one with needles in his fingers.

That doesn't tell us anything. How typical.

I know who he's speaking of, Sideswipe.

The one Tarn killed on screen. It can only be him.
