VIDEO | Liege's temple

[ So there's a new giant robot, evidently. He has a weird chin thing and a red dot on his forehead and is kinda surprised looking. He has a nice little Autobot symbol on his chest and there's a brief moment where he rubs the glyph on his arm, annoyed that he's wearing another sign of something he's not loyal to. But the Autobot symbol, at least, stays on until he gets confirmation his disguise is no longer necessary.

Then he gets to business. ]

Longarm Prime, Autobot Intelligence. Is there anyone from Autobot Command that can give me a debriefing? Hm. Though if anyone can tell me more about this Cybertron, I would appreciate it.

[ He pauses, debating. But it's worth a shot. ] There wouldn't happen to be... Decepticon presence here, would there? Megatron? [ Quickly: ] To determine the possible threat level.

Longarm, out.

NO NO NO NO NO he's not who he says he is Starscream you need to believe me.

Take it easy.

Deep vents. You know when you get worked up nobody can understand a thing you're saying, just slow it down, be calm. Be logical. You do logic good. [this was not the time to confront Blurr about having lied to Soundwave, though it did shadow his perception a little.] Now tell it to me from the beginning.

IAMTAKINGITEASY! [So calm, really. Like a group of turbofoxes on speed.]

[Private]

I...I....[Okay he's trying to do that.] he's Shockwave...you know the Decepticon spy? I-I think I told you about him...I mentioned him time ago IT DOESN'T matter now but I WAS NOT expecting him to show up here and now he is and..he..he.....he's the one who tried to kill me.

[Perma-Private]

Is that right... Well, it's obviously too late now to pretend to him that he succeeded.

Blurr. I know you're scared, but that fear is a more dangerous enemy than Shockwave right now. [IF that is Shockwave. Starscream is having serious doubts about Blurr's ability to distinguish fantasy from reality, but Blurr's been too good to him for Starscream to question his mental state openly.] You're not alone here.

...oh. [That probably would have been an advantage, yes.]

Imnotscared. [He is.] Just...angry and maybe nervous. [He should explain the shape-shifting thing, hm?] He tricked _{my side} for eons making us think he was an Autobot making me think we were f...colleagues.

...no wonder you're skittish around me.

I'm not going to just sit around and watch a Decepticon hurt anyone. I have as much interest in preserving postwar peace as you do.

Give me a chance to talk to him. Trust me. ...Can you do that?

I'm not...hm...[Okay maybe he is, and it's because of Shockwave.]

Fine but be _careful he really can't be trusted.

I wrote the book on deceit, Blurr.

But it's cute that you're worried about me.

Then hit him in the optic with it.

Hmnnnngh. [>.>]

[ GODDAMMIT BLURR WHY ARE YOU ALIVE AND TELLING ANYBODY

Shockwave puts on a "I don't know what's going on" face and sees if he can have one last ditch attempt at keeping his identity (was it even worth it? He's not sure but he'd prefer to break it on his own terms) ]

You're on speaking terms with Agent Blurr. [ A Decepticon. That's infinitely confusing, to be honest. ] Do you know what's wrong with him? [ IMPLY IMPLY IMPLY HE'S LYING~~]

You mean lately, or in general?

Let's talk. You and me. And when Megatron shows up, maybe I won't convince him to kill you, huh?

[now there are two people in this thread lying through their teeth.]

Are you certain that's possible? It seems unlikely. [ Just a vague enough statement that it could be read "stop Megatron from destroying an Autobot" or perhaps "have Megatron listen to anything Starscream says. ]

How do you know Blurr?

All things are possible. [smirk] Loosely speaking.

[this time the lie's much smoother.]

It's genial enough. We played some Praxus Fold 'Em, he owes me a couple hundred credits. And the war's over, in your universe, isn't it?

[ He's not entirely sure if he believes that, based on how anxious Blurr's warning was. On the other servo, it was quite possible Blurr warned the first bot he knew.

He keeps his face blank. ]

It's starting again. The Decepticons have been uprising. [ He hates the sound of those words in his mouth, coming from an "Autobot".

And he's starting to suspect this charade is entirely useless in this place. ]

Those jerks! [gently testing] Megatron should be ashamed. He's got no cause, no direction, no leadership skills...

Oh, Longarm. It's a good day to be an Autobot.

[ YOU ARE PUSHING ALL OF HIS BUTTONS RIGHT NOW, STARSCREAM. ALL OF THEM.

STARSCREAMS

He's barely forcing the words out. ] Yes. A good day.

Would you prefer to lead the Decepticons, Starscream?

[if he is, this should push him over.]

In my reality, I do lead the Decepticons.

[ No.

NOPE.jpg

But Starscream had attempted to claim leadership over the Decepticons before, and Shockwave (despite the fact it's not even his universe), inherently believes that Megatron would return and kick Starscream out on his aft.

That being said, he sounds almost british when he says: ]

I highly doubt that.

Decepticon leadership goes to those strong enough to take and hold it.

Sorry if that disappoints you... "Prime."

[ Well clearly his disguise is useless in this context.

~~Also he's pissed off.~~ ]

[ He shifts easily and casually, but it's clear he's irritated. ]

If you are anything like the Starscream I know, that idea is laughable.

And if you're anything like the Shockwave I know, I better boot down with one optic online.

Good. You should trust your instincts.

Harder for you, though. You only have the one optic.

How amusing. Much like your "leadership".
