So. Link.

I've been pretty quiet doing my civic duty for you all, and I have a pretty good idea of how this goes, but since I'm a people-person in service to you the people, I figured I should poll for your thoughts on this before I submit anything for approval.

If you could write up one law, any law, what would it be?

Mine would be "smartaft replies to this post get summarily executed", by the way, keep that in mind and don't waste my time, okay?

Mm, yes, I know. Tragically, rules and regulations aren't my area of specialty. Now, if you were asking opinions on the designing of...

[Hold up. You look really familiar.]

... Starscream?

[He's just not used to Perceptor being anything but a lithe sniper (and even then, he doesn't have much personal exposure), so he doesn't immediately put two and two together. Sure, he can obviously tell Autobot, and after squinting for a few seconds he can see--some familiar attributes, but...warily;]

Speaking. Who's asking?

[It's bizarre, how similar this Starscream looks to the one he knew. Of course, this one lacks that tacky crown, but still.]

... Perceptor.

And I can safely state you are the last individual I expected to see asking about law.

[oh, that name, and the light goes on. Or rather, dims a little in concern in both his optics. At least Perceptor's not one he's actively screwed over, he might have a chance at redeeming himself--

--unless an alternate version of himself has ruined it for himself. Frag, this is an ongoing problem.]

Well, surprise! [this said pretty jovially] So, the good news is, in my world your people won the war.

But the bad news - for you - I'm exonerated and representing the Decepticons. So law and I are like you and science. Mysterious and mutually passionate.

Strange. If what you say is true... [And his voice suggests he's not entirely sure if he wants to take Starscream at his word -- force of habit.] ... then despite striking physical similarities to Megatron's air commander, you and I do not share universal origins.

Fascinating.

Because, last I was aware, neither side was anything close to winning that wretched conflict. A full evacuation had been ordered.

... Passionate. I see.

Crummy thing to lie about, right? But I get why you'd think that. Me being dishonest seems to be a ...about the only universally consistent trait, but you know.

Habits break, sometimes. I'm being level completely when I tell you I don't want to get on your bad side.

If that's doable.

So it would appear. Though, given this place, given that we are of what seems to be entirely different origins... it would stand to reason you've little to gain... Yes, I have to concede the point.

Any particular reason why that would be? Purely out of curiosity.

[... asks the tank.]

I'll give you my best scientific analysis.

You're fragging huge.

[Given the look on his face, you'd think Starscream just suggested he was... pink. Or had a second head.]

I wouldn't go that far, I don't think. Plenty of Autobot frames are approximately this size.

[No, not really, Perceptor.]
