This isn't quite how I thought I would be returning to Cybertron. Then again, I didn't think that I would find myself being pulled from one universe to the next like another I know of either.

[ and he'd like to be able to figure out how it is possible, but he can save that for another time. ]

Now I'm sure that those who are listening to this are likely tired of answering the same questions over and over again. I apologize that I have to ask said questions. Any mech who would offer more answers than what I have just received would have my gratitude and I would strive to return the favor.

If any of my comrades are here, please check in. [ he just wants to know you're all right, okay? ]

(( ooc: definitely newer... not sure how new though... highly doubt that all of the energon stores could have been drained in a few hundred years, but definitely it hasn't been as long as in G1. ))

[ Starscream listens... the tone that the other carries when speaking sort of saddens him. he doesn't want to think about what life must be like under someone who is a tyrant. if his Megatron had been a kind, decent mech... the mirror of that makes his engine sputter in a shutter. ]

I am sorry, Thundercracker. No one should have to live under the thumb of anyone. No one deserves to constantly be afraid.

[ freedom is a right that all deserve. ]

The punishments that Prime can come up with are cruel. Sending his officers or underlings off to Ratchet is not what I would wish on even them. Both are unstable, true...

I don't understand it. At all.

[rough snort]

Don't try. You'll just hurt yourself. Trust me, you're better off not knowing. I'd leave it at that.

[a pause...then quieter]

That Ratchet's here, by the way. In case you haven't already been told. He arrived a few weeks ago. We've already arrested him once, but he slipped out. We're hunting him again before he causes any more damage.

You are right...

[ it's just really a shame. so many good mechs lost to that madness. or maybe there is madness in them all. that is the true chilling thought. ]

Ratchet made a point of letting me know he is here. I wish I could say it surprises me that he has escaped. Hopefully he is detained before he can do something.

[If he were to ask Thundercracker, the Seeker would guess at a madness already being there. That's certainly true for far too high a percentage of his own faction. Though whoever didn't start out with some kind of psychosis almost certainly developed one after the fact, another thing he'd witnessed about his faction.]

…we're working on it.

[Through absolutely no fault of their own, though, the police force's track record has become questionable at best and a laugh at worst to the rest of Haven, a fact that galls the proud Seeker to no end. But…he can only do his best.]

Do you have a place to stay yet?

"We?"

[ who is 'we' TC? Starscream might be a little suspicious about this... and he might want in on it. after all, Ratchet is from his dimension. Starscream sort of feels responsible for the things that he is likely going to do. ]

Staying? I thought we stayed in our temples.

[ he has a place picked out, close to his friend. ]

The police force. Inasmuch as we have one. Prowl and McCrane are the heads. [He wobbles his wings faintly, a gesture of reluctance.] If you talk to anyone, talk to McCrane. Or Blurr. They're good mechs, and capable. [He won't outright say he doesn't trust Prowl, but . . . he doesn't trust Prowl.]

You can. Don't have to, though. About as many do as don't. Those with friends in other temples might choose to room with them. Or there's the Habitation Wing of the Hub if you want more neutral territory.

[ Starscream doesn't miss it, the lack of talking to Prowl, if he has interest that is. Starscream has mixed feelings on it. instead of showing his uncertainly, he does a few lazy rolls. ]

Cliffjumper and I share the same temple. I had thought to just stay there.

[ why shouldn't he? they had been working together for a while. friends, man. ]

I see. Seems like a good mech.

[Except for the part where he doesn't really want much to do with the positive-polarity Decepticon. Not that Thundercracker can blame him. ~~At least the minibot hadn't outright snarled him off like some of the others.~~]

[Also, don't mind TC. He's had, and lost, two separate roommates now. He's been staying a lot at the precinct lately just to keep himself occupied so he's not ~~lonely~~ bored.]

If you need anything, or just want someone to fly with, let me know. [amused] Minibot's got a jet pack or whatever it is, but he's no Seeker. [Mnn, bad wording for the negative-polarity mech.] Not a jet-former.

I believe he is, though a tad frightening as well. A bit paranoid, too, but I can safely say that we would have been lost without his presence amongst us.

[ the minibot has been a good friend too, keeping Starscream on task and the like. very valuable. and really he's selected his own quarters close by in the temple, so he can keep an eye on Cliffjumper... or so that Cliffjumper can feel better. either or.

and Starscream? even he sounds amused. ]

I wouldn't mind having a flying partner.

[ no, really. he doesn't exactly have those, you know. ]
