[Text] Purposely not locked from Shockwave

Greetings everyone and specially those who just arrived.

First, I would like to remind you that the election process to choose the members of the law committee is close to an end. Please don't forget to cast your vote and do it wisely.

Second, One of the new arrivals that joined us has claimed to be Longarm Prime, an Autobot Intelligence agent. He has this appearance:

However, this is nothing but a facade, a trick. He's in fact a shape-shifter and a double agent that infiltrated the Autobot ranks eons ago and has been secretly working for Megatron all this time. He's dangerous and can't be trusted. His true name is Shockwave and his real appearance is this one:

[Blurr is trying to keep this short and to the point for different reason. One, he wants people to get it quickly, and second, it's a sore subject for him.]

That’s all, thank you for your attention and take care.

[Locked to RUNG|| So, so unhackable.|| IC-ly added after this conversation. ]

Sir Rung might I have a word with you? I've been thinking about your offer.

[ooc. those who had their chars applied for the Committee, please assume that in 2-3 days they got a message telling them they were accepted.]

You talked to him I take it?

I did, yeah. Nothin' important I suppose, but that fraggin' well doesn't matter.

Ugh. Always the same story.

[There's another angry growl, engine and vocaliser both as Cliffjumper crosses his arms, the clang making it obvious he wasn't particularly careful.]

Least no one died this time...

[The irony in this statement is lost on Cliffjumper.]

Don't blame yourself he does pull a believable Autobot WHAT do you mean by _same story?

[Cliff you are worrying him even more.

...and yeah, ironic.]

[There's a wordless mutter before Cliffjumper scowls, making a sweeping gesture with one hand.]

In the negative polarity 'verse, Cyclonus an' a few others were in league with that Alpha Trion... an' he was at odds with both factions or whatever. Cyclonus ended up--

[Frag. Pause. Locking this yes, even if he's not stellar at it and hopefully no one who this matters to will actually look. Slag it all.]

... right, uh. Ended up killin' Megatron. He died 'cause none of us caught on to him and frag it I should have--

[He growls, shaking his helm. Sure, Megatron didn't stay dead but that wasn't the point.]

[Cliff, Blurr knows exactly how you feel. He knows thanks to Cheetor that Shockwave nearly killed Ultra Magnus and now the poor man is on Spark support.]

I'm SORRY Cliffjumper.

It's not your fault if he managed to trick you all.

Maybe not, but I still should've noticed something.

[Except for the fact that he can hardly know every nuance of that reality, even having spent around two years there now.]

... Just, uh. Try not to mention that to Soundwave or Megatron? Neither of 'em know that, an' I don't think they should have to deal with it... Even if it got solved.

[And solved most spectacularly, with a ressurection and all.]

I should _{have noticed} that someone was off with Longarm too...

I won't tell anybody don't worry. GOTSOLVEDhow?

[O:]

... Okay, this... [Cliffjumper shrugs, briefly looking off and then back.]

I know this might sound slaggin' strange and even crazy but it's what happened, an' this part you should probably really not mention to either of 'em.

[Soundwave's telepathy might make things more complicated, but the mech didn't go around rooting in other people's processors, and as long as Blurr didn't broadcast it...]

When Megatron got shot, we had... well, one of the Firstforged... Thirteen, whatever ya wanna call them, there was a version of Nexus Prime present. He ressurected an' reformatted Megatron into Galvatron.

[So they got the mech back, and all that.]

I'm good at keeping secret don't worry about that. [Secret intelligent agent here after all.]

Galvatron...I've heard that name before Cyclonus muttered that all the time.. but I can't say I KNOW much about him.

[He chuckles and nods at that.]

Yeah, thought ya would be.

I'm pretty sure he was some crazy future version Unicron created from Megatron or somethin' in my original universe, but the one this Megatron gets reformatted into is as impressive as Megatron is.

[Let's just not discuss the Galvatron from his original reality... that's a mess and a half.]

[He smiles back.] It's rule number one of being a secret agent. the second is NOT DYING...kinda failed at that one..

Sounds about right. And what happened to his mind HE WAS still himself?

[Seconded.]

[Blurr gets a stare for the muttered comment, but it's low enough it's hard to tell if it was meant to be heard and commented on, so Cliffjumper just... leaves it at that, and shrugs at the question.]

Yeah, he was. Exact same spark, though I suppose a bit more subdued... collected, I think. Not lackin' conviction, just... [Cliffjumper shrugs again, uncertain how to phrase it, or how to put his finger on what had changed, exactly, because it was still Megatron in behaviour, if a bit more... subdued, yes. Withdrawn, perhaps, but more intense for all that, and still caring about his troops.] I suppose offlinin' and getting ressurrected would do something, right?

[He's going to act like he didn't notice the stare.]

[He frowns at the 'subdued' part.]I can only imagine...is he happy, though?

To be alive? Sure. I doubt he'd have been happy to leave the rest of us to take care of the Autobots an' Prime on our own.

[Cliffjumper scowls as he says "Prime", but with his experiences with the "regular" Megatron from his original reality, and what Sideswipe said...]

... Specially since, mad or not, and no matter how competent Starscream is, doubt we'd have done too well against the clunker without Galvatron.

[Shrugging, Cliffjumper briefly looks away. Besides that, he'd hope Galvatron is... at the least satisfied with life. If anything, he has company, as Starscream had quite refused to leave the mech alone if at all possible.]

To be alive AND different but ahhh I guess you are right.

Sorrydidyousay..competent and Starscream in the same sentence?

[What is this sorcery.]

... yeah. [He can hear the incredulousness and he's really trying not to... Nope, sorry, laughing.]

Yeah, I--- did. He really is, too. Competent and kind. Worries way too much 'bout Galvatron... and Megatron when he was that. Ya know, never thought I'd say it about Starscream, but that Starscream?

[Cliffjumper does his best to rein in his chuckling to make the point clear, ending up with crossing his arms as if that'll help.]

Makes a good leader.

[Since he was their leader on Earth.]

[OI! Don't laugh at him. Blurr frown, since he has no nose to scrunch in annoyance.]

...

Nowyouaremockingme! [Startscream and Megatron getting along so well? Please he's not a fool. In his universe they hate each other guts.]

[That just makes him laugh more and it takes a few moments before he can collect himself, and holds up his hands, palms out, in an attempt to sooth Blurr as well as not burst out laughing again.]

I'm not! All true, trust me! A good leader, loyal. To his troops and friends, to the... Decepticon cause, an' to Megatron... or, uh... Galvatron.

[Lienefaiiiiising now >:[ Humph!]

I do believe that Starscream can be loyal and efficient but...friends with Megatron....

[Smirk.]

Very close friends, even.

[He chuckles, but then sort of sobers up and grimaces.]

Kinda glad things happened as they did not just 'cause we kinda need him, but Starscream does as well.

[He, like anyone else, had seen the feed from the conference room. Starscream would probably had been a mess hadn't Heatwave and the other Nexus Prime gestalt members ressurrected Megatron into Galvatron.]

Primus...

Oh..are they...you know.?

... Are they what?

[Cliffjumper tilts his helm because this is just confusing. You're going to have to be clearer, Blurr.]

You know.

Since you say that they're so close.

[No, being clear is too embarrassing.]

I don't---

Wait... Oh.

[Cliffjumper stares for a moment, optics bright, and then just laughs, shaking his helm.]

Who the slag knowns! But they could just as well be, with how close they are.

[He snorts and shakes his helm again, rubbing the side of it.]

But nah, they ain't, as far as I know. They're just close.

[Good, you got it.]

Ah..oh...well..okay okay thank you.
