[To organics - or, well, anyone who doesn't speak Cybertronian - the audio is filled with what sounds like garbled, shrill electronics noise, doubled back on itself in feedback several times over. To those who do speak Cybertronian . . . have a lot of harsh cursing. No . . . really harsh cursing, stuff that would make Unicron blush. That tends to happen when you've pissed of a Decepticon, or scared the ever-living slag out of him, or he's in a lot of pain. Especially if he's all three at once. Oh . . . and there's the occasional noise of rifle fire.]

[And one more curse for good measure when said startled/pained/pissed-off Decepticon realizing he's broadcasting all of this! The audio feed cuts off.]

[About an hour later, a video feed starts. Thundercracker seems to have gotten really really cosy with a wall. As in, the lower half of his left leg, his left rifle, and the tip of his left wing are embedded in it. There are several rifle shots scoring the walls, though none come quite close enough to attempt to shoot himself free - with his wing and rifle (and therefore, arm) immobilized the way they are, he just can't quite shift his other shoulder/arm enough to get the right angle. He'll switch to English. His tone is angry and frustrated, stressed with pain.]

All right, all right, I give!

Starscream . . . or . . . frag, anyone . . . some demolitions help would be great right about now.

((ooc: Also, URGH, need more G1 icons. A lot of my "oooh, perfect expression for this tag!" icons are comic. OTL))

[He bites back another growl at that. It's one thing to develop his wingmate's power, but to lose his namesake special ability too?]

. . . I haven't had cause to use any special abilities in the past week, so I hadn't tried.

No cause until now, that is.

[This is still strange, and bears further looking into. Perhaps Liege would be able to help, with his constant research on the Lambda...]

Ah.

What did prompt you to teleport, then?

[He shakes his head with a shrug and gestures at the wall, on the other side of which is the room he's been staying in.]

I've been staying in the room one of your drones gave me when I . . . arrived. I was out on the edges of the sector doing some recon. I'd been out for some time and thought I should start heading back. Next thing I knew . . .

[He gestures again at the wall.]

That is good news, at least. [Better than some of the news he'd been receiving, lately.]

I would guess that if you spent some time working on it, you'd be able to control where you ended up.

I would, however, suggest spending this time far away from any walls.

[It's something like a joke.]

[Thundercracker studies the taller being for a long moment, trying to find the taunt, or the snideness, or any of the other things he's used to getting . . . and finds none. The small grin he finally allows is wry to the point of rueful, but it's there.]

I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for your help.

It is my pleasure.

Make the most out of your situation, and don't hesitate to let me know if there is anything that I can do to help.

[Provided he could take the time to try, at any rate.]

Thank you. I will.

Is there anything I should be doing?

[He's been serving under someone - under Megatron - for so long that the past week, he's been feeling . . . a little lost, actually, without having ~~orders~~ a definite leader to follow.]

You?

[He has to give the question some thought for a moment, and do some creative interpretations as well.]

Yes. [He finally decides.] You should do what you might have always wanted to do, but were never able.

And if that isn't possible?

Then help us explore, or build. We have a whole world here to make habitable, and we can use all the help that we can get.
