[Broadcasting from the tallest peak he can find in the junk pile.]

[Someone has been through this before. Someone knows this drill. Someone has worked very, very hard to finally make it back to his Cybertron, only to find it all wrong. Again.

Someone probably has destroyed a few piles of junk in their anger.

However, someone also has paid attention to the communications on the network, and has ventured to the 'temples' that were mentioned, and has found them locked against him.

This someone is not surprised.
]

Listen closely, and listen well.

[It is time to act. The feed opens with a closeup on Megatron's faceplates, optics blazing red, the scant remnants of gladiator paint still burned onto the metal.]

This is not where we belong, and I am done with this.

I am done with waking up to see an unfamiliar sun obscuring all-too-familiar stars. I am done with strangers being cast from world to world. I am done with mechs-who-would-be-gods so graciously patronizing us by allowing us to remain while simultaneously enforcing unethical segregation and I am done, finally, with the thwarting of destinies that I and my allies have slaved, toiled, and died to create.

You can listen to those who make the rules here if you desire to. I have heard a song like theirs, before.

Or.

[He flashes, briefly, a datapad that seems to have some sort of schematic on it--a schematic that looks (to those who are familiar with them) like a complicated space bridge.]

If you are 'done' as I am, you can help me.

I am Megatron, and I will deliver anyone that joins me to their rightful homes.

[A single, pointed tooth is visible in the smirk that finally dawns on his face. His interdimensional portal had only worked, once, but with the right mechs he would see it to completion again. Immediately.]

I guarantee it.

...That would be a very sad version of me. [It makes him pout just thinking about it.]

[His wings start to pin back.] D-did I say I was considering them? It was only Swindle, anyway. He'd just use me like a slave again!

But your choice was to help others. Ours was to help ourselves.

[It was what you learned in the gutters: take care of yourself, forget everyone else. Or try to. ]

That's the problem. Someone had to do something, but would anything less radical been listened to at all? [He's wondered that for a long time.]

I don't think we've talked much about the Law Committee on open channels since the unmarked started showing up.

[The optics narrow. ] Decepticon chain of command. Telling others what to do is a field commander's job.

[A probably familiar scowl, that he forces from his face with great effort.]

Take me, then. I at least know what I'm getting into.

Does the designation 'Makeshift' mean anything to you?

I thought as much.

My name's Gig. Eradicon. I serve aboard the Nemesis in my own dimension, under my Megatron.

I want those things. Very badly. [Especially his old title. It makes him feel like a real Starscream.]

I used to work for him. Me and Thrust. I kind of owe him for my activation.

[A few decacycles ago, the answer would have been fast and clear. But that was before Aequitas. Before he learned the truth and everything he'd believed in had been shattered.]

I think I just...hate all the killing. [If nothing else, it's an honest answer.]

Oh. You. Right. He, uh, he was a Decepticon. Or, I guess will be. [He realizes, suddenly, how weird it must be for others talking to him, those who knew him as dead. It's a little weird.]

I, uh, I could take a look. [He winces, because he should have more of a qualm. But when you're pretty sure you're dying, and it doesn't even really matter here, sometimes you just want something to occupy your mind.]

[ Is that-- No. It can't be. Not now. Not like this. Bound and contained, hidden away with nothing to do, to think about but visceral combat, the electrical charge created by metal scraping against metal, the heat of redlining engines, the smell of freshly spilled life fluid Megatron.

He shudders from the sudden rush of excitement, rage, frustration, elation, arousal-- his frame unable to properly register and express the sudden rush of emotions. Instead, he just ends up laughing.

It's a low, choked chuckle first, then grows in volume; it's a laugh of utter despair, a laugh of the irony at the situation.

When he stops, his optics glow a little dimmer. ]


Megatron. You're finally here.

I know. I don't want him to become one.

[It's an admission that he knows, all too well, how convincing Megatron can be.]

How do you know that your vision is the 'greater Cybertron' we need?

[Oh. Ouch. ]

He could stay here and live. Which is better than the risk of going anywhere with you.

I have a purpose, Megatron. To make right what I ruined before.

[Ventus nods.]

Yeah, that's it.

[He listens with rapt attention, brow furrowing faintly. War seems to be a big thing for Cybertronians, considering how often he's heard them mention something of it since he'd come here. And at least from his talk with Cliffjumper, the boy's more or less gotten a handle on that there are different kinds of the same world, and he's heard about this earth-place then as well...]

...your enemies?

[Blink. Okay, he thiiinks he gets the idea at least, but then does that make this Megatron good or bad?]

Yes, true. But you still thought you could make a difference, help address the problem at its source alongside Megatron. It wasn't entirely selfish. Just misguided.

[It's exemplary though, realizing how many mechs wanted change and for so many different reasons.]

[He sighs.] I don't know. Perhaps just as radical but more controlled? [He shakes his head.] The corruption ran so deep...

I'm being careful...I am. I just don't like being at a disadvantage. Forewarned is forearmed right?
