[Starscream is crouching, hands out to his sides, claws splayed. He's pretty much covered in fluids; energon and blood and something that glows green. A variety of parts lay scattered around him, mostly limbs ripped from charging enemies. There's a huge grin on his face as he glances down at the screen, wings taut and twitching on his back.]

So much for the mystery of how to kill these things. When in doubt, claw their optics out.

Or... eyes... I suppose. [Something goes squish under his foot.]

Got any harder missions to send me on, Megatronus?

[Oh joy, it seems she's finally caught up with him. Starscream isn't surprised that of all the clones this is the one that managed to follow him here. He's just a little surprised she bothered.]

Some of us don't mind close combat. You should try it some time, its good for the spark.

[As for that- well, you will have to ask him. It depends on the circumstances whether he will answer truthfully or at all.]

[Like she'd followed on purpose?!]

Good way to risk getting pinned without a path of egress, too! And, all that stuff causes drag.

But, by all means, continue maiming and shredding the things, it's not like you'd want to gain favor with any of the Big Bots looking for specimens for study.

[That's her very indirect way of questioning who exactly he's trying to impress.]

I didn't need an escape route- these things didn't stand a chance against me.

[What, are you saying you think he's not tough enough to take them on?]

And I plan on washing it off. It would have to be someone pretty special for me to let their energon dry over my paintjob. [Like Megatron.]

[He knows what you're trying to do, you're a part of him after all. Have some good old Starscream brand evasion.]

What was that old Earth saying? 'Birds of a feather flock together?'

But, you didn't know. Maybe with some. [Some things she's seeing around the Haven look vaguely familiar, but others downright alien. She doubts Starscream could really know, unless he was thinking with his ego.] But, it's not like you know.

[Redundant, but as fast as she's calculating wit or criticism, Starscream's continuing to present wonderously disturbing new insights!] Some ideas about special you have! [Does she look disgusted? Yeah. It's mostly for the fact her logic circuits prompt her to conclude special=Megatron in this case. She hates it when Starscream is the one to say something to confuse her!] Couldn't you just take a trophy?!

[Not that collecting parts of other bots as trophies is any more comforting an idea. The whole 'flock' question is set aside as she sees movement in the video background. She makes a quick flick of one talon toward the lens.]

You have it on sensors, yet? [Difficult to make out what it is on video, but it seems something stealthy and low to the ground.]

[When is Starscream not thinking with his ego?] Regardless, I'm fine. And would it kill you to be impressed once in a while?

[He can't help but snicker at her repulsion.] I wouldn't expect a clone of me to understand.

[His wings raise when she asks that question, sensors picking it up moments after hers. Whatever it is, its faster than the waddling sharkticons. He crouches, waiting for it to make a move.]

You don't think I'm impressed by you every cycle? [Her better traits came from somewhere, which makes Starscream's talents impressive enough, but his failures are likewise pretty impressive.] You got another chance, now.

[The shifting behind Starscream is consistent with the backward lean of a predator preparing to pounce. But, truly, Starscream looks as alert and predatory as anything else.]

It's a little hard to tell with you. [He frowns, listening for movement.
-And there it is. Something leaving the ground. Starscream pivots, whipping a heavy arm out, claws closed in a fist.]
