voice; locked to Jetfire

I realize that there are mischief makers at work, but I wanted to run this by you nonetheless. The card that was sent to me bore your name.

Now I would like to think that it is just another prank, but there might still be the off chance that this might have been sent to the wrong Starscream?

[ because if so, wow awkward. ]

It sounds like it might be, yes. If yuo'd wish to tell it later... [There's a small, rather grim smile on Jetfire's faceplate, even if Starscream can't see it.]

I can't say anyone directly lost lives as a result to my decisions, but there's one that I would change if I could.

[At least in part. He still can't regret wanting to not end up shooting at Starscream, but...]

Indeed? I hope it was for some... ah, relatively beneficial reason.

Actually it was two individuals. One you have been hissing at here and there.

[ it's an amused tone, not at all accusatory or judging. just plain amused. ]

Starscream, as odd as it is to use my name in the third, mentioned that I should speak to you. I believe my presence is an annoyance to him since I seem to be a combination of you both - in his perspective.

[ a small chuckle. yeah, yeah he is finding it funny. and he can see what that Starscream meant. ]

The other brought you up for, yes, beneficial purposes. I truly do want to work in a lab again and it may be a bit presumptuous to ask, but I was hoping that perhaps you would allow me to work with you?

Ah. [And that single word contains quite a lot of dry amusement - before there's an exasperated, almost laughing "honestly, Starscream!" sent aside, to continue the tradition.]

Yes, that's... ah, not surprising, that he'd think it annoying. And I admit I can see it... somewhat. As close as two different individuals can be. [Another dry, unseen, smile.]

And hardly... er, presumptous at all. I'd certainly welcome you, the lab ought to be large enough for three of us.

[Even if Skyfire was taller than he was, it still oughtn't be too much of a problem.]

I can see some similarities, but only a few. To be fair, I don't see why it merited a demand to speak and a check in on how it went.

[ yupp. totally tattled completely on the other Starscream. don;t worry, though. still amused. ]

A-and thank you, Jetfire. I appreciate it. Now I'd say more than you'd know, but somehow I'm sure that you do share some similar sentiments.

The few similarities might seem more glaring when - stop that - you are an... ah, alternate of each other and he knows me.

[This is getting out of hand. Jetfire huffs and then chuckles.]

I believe we do, yes. No need to thank me; I'd have been willing to look for a larger space if we would all have helped moving things, if that would have been what it took to make space.

No, I believe there is good reason to thank you. What you just stated only proves how kind you are.

Ah... [Excuse the cough and the slight noise of shifting metal.] Thank you.

I could show you the lab tomorrow, perhaps? [Have some coordinates. Today he probably should engage in damage control with the Starscream he's got right in the room with him.]
