End Game Part Five: The Traitor

While his brethren are out, seeking to destroy the dual incursions of Demons and Unicron...

Liege has waited, patiently.

His goals have always differed from those of the other thirteen, and now that they are distracted he can put forth a bid for his true desire: Control of the Lambda.

He appears on the network standing on a snow-capped balcony, shadowed by the near-perpetual darkness of his frigid towers.

"Listen, and listen well. To fight is hopeless. We have no guarantee of Primus's return, and we have even less guarantee that we can hold our own against this dual-sided assault. There is another way."

From the top of his tower, Liege raises his arm...and the snow-clouds above him disperse, whipping small flakes across the scene as the Lambda looms--green and ominous in a star-filled sky.

"I have broached a contract with the chaos-bringer. If we allow him into this universe, access to all other universes will be granted to us. Our horizons will be limitless. Put down your arms and rally to me...if you want to explore, or learn, or simply want to return home."

Behind him, a separate portal opens--brilliant and green just like the Lambda.

"Together, we can stop Prima and Vector, and gain something more worthwhile than this useless chunk of rock we have tried to call home. I will be waiting."

[[Those who wish to rally with Liege may come to his temple. Although fighting is not required for this path, he and Unicron will look favorably upon any who proceed through the small tear behind him to help repel Prima and Vector and their forces from the Maw. Those who do will find the gravity of the Lambda working for them--while you won't be able to fly, you will be able to move through the space around the Lambda with ease, re-orienting yourself as you see fit.]]

Well, now this sounds like fun.

[You guys didn't expect Starscream to not consider this right?]
angleofscience: (shadowed - ugh)

[Starscream, no. He's just going to rub his chin.]

Starscream. Please. [He can't decide whether he's exasperated or frustrated or unhappy.]

If this entity is exactly what's been claimed, why would you put any trust in that the promise will be fulfilled?

Oh come on, Jetfire. Aren't you at least slightly curious?
angleofscience: (inquisitive - how much data?)

... [Okay, yes, he is, so he'll just give another sigh as he glances away and then back to Starscream.]

Naturally. [There's no way to deny that, really.] But I am not convinced allying with an entity that has, allegedly, been behind as much damage here as it has, and now wants to destroy this planet is in any way a good idea, or indicates any sort of... ah, occupational security.

[Starscream don't let your greed overshadow your common sense, now.]

I don't see why not. Why should we care about a universe other than our own?

[Besides ... power and gaining access to all other universes ...]
angleofscience: (looking off - guarded)

And if, as this at the least implies, it reaches ours? [He rather like their own reality, such as it is.] And even if it doesn't... How long would you be safe from the entity itself? And if it looses, here, Starscream?

I rather prefer you whole.

[Making deals with planet-consuming entities doesn't seem like a good idea for long-lived success.]
