[Video] DJD PSA: The Royal “We”

[songofmypeople]

 [The video starts with a neck up image of a guy that has DECEPTICON for a FACE. Well, that's never a good sign. And depending on Tarn's naughty list, things might just get a little worse (for you). But hey! At least he's playing some classy music in the background.] 

I'd like to interrupt everyone getting along so well with one another to bring you this message:  This is the DJD.  

For those of you who don't know our work, I suggest you ask someone more familiar with the role we play. Someone like the medic Ambulon. [The name positively rolls off his tongue.] I believe you can find him in 'Nexus Prime's' quadrant. 

[Kids, this is what happens when you don't lock your link posts; someone's liable to spam Ctrl + F. Sometimes those people have lists. Sometimes they're predators.] 

Furthermore, if any of you would like to report a Decepticon that has transgressed, my door is always open and any reports will be investigated. You may contact me at this frequency. 

[Deadlock, Overlord, you'll notice he hasn't mentioned your names. Feel free to feel safe.] 

And, Pharma, I would like a word.

To the rest of you, I look forward to your cooperation. Some of you will be hearing from me shortly.  

[The music stops. There's a moment of silence where it's just Tarn's mask and his glowing eyes staring at the camera. Two seconds later and then the video cuts.]

Autobots. [tsk] I see politness remains a foreign concept. What a shame.

[sciencetank]

I hardly think I'm out of line, given personal experience.

And the lack of good taste you appear intent on displaying to the known world.

[songofmypeople]

Personal experience? I don't believe we've met.

See, there you go again. Now you're just being _cruel.

[sciencetank]

Mm, I suppose that was unspecific. Personal experience with Decepticons.

I like to think it's more along the lines of "truthful".

[songofmypeople]

I'm afraid we're going to have to agree to disagree.

Now, did you have anything pertinent to express, or are you simply here to waste my time talking about your lackluster concept of "fashion"? [Because the mask is so much more than that.]

[sciencetank]

Of course. Someone of your faction would say that, wouldn't they?

"Lackluster"? There's a word I didn't expect out of the mouth of one of Megatron's. Are they upgrading processors in your world, by any chance?

[songofmypeople]

Or they might forgo words, simply choosing to remove your head through the application of significant force.

[His shrug somehow almost seems gracious.]

You could say instead, that I have a way with language.

[sciencetank]

They do rather enjoy tearing us limb from limb. I take it you're no different, considering that lovely thought was the first to appear in your processor.

You certainly have something.

[songofmypeople]

A lovely image to be sure, but sometimes I find I enjoy a softer touch to my work.

[sciencetank]

Dare I ask you to define 'softer'?

[songofmypeople]

Come find me and I'll do you one better by way of demonstration.

[sciencetank]

Do you honestly believe anyone would accept such an offer?

[songofmypeople]

The price of your curiosity. [He chuckles] Maybe you'd bring a friend.

[sciencetank]

My curiosity rarely requires me to throw myself into the enemy's hands, thank you very much.

And that would require having any of such.

[Perceptor has no friends.]

Tarn, stop teasing

[songofmypeople]

Only rarely?

[Tarn can imagine why.]

Autobots not treating you well?

[You poor dear.]

sdhfjskd

[sciencetank]

Rarely. Yes.

[So much not amused.]

They treat me fine, thank you. Not that it's any of your concern.

[songofmypeople]

What does it take to coax one friendless Autobot into "enemy hands?"

[Indulgently:] Of course not.

[sciencetank]

A complete and utter core processor re-write.

[songofmypeople]

Oh? Were you a Decepticon?

[sciencetank]

No, you misunderstand. My previous statement was what it would take for me to be, as you put it, "coaxed into enemy hands".

[songofmypeople]

I was under the impression you had previous experience. A shame, perhaps, that you don't.

Better for you, I'm sure.

[sciencetank]

No, I don't have previous experience with my processor being corrupted.

I do, however, have experience with the atrocities and war crimes of the Decepticons.

[songofmypeople]

[This must be what a conversation with Ultra Magnus feels like]

[He just hums some sort of pleasant affirmative]

As lovely as conversation has been, I find you beginning to bore me. Was there anything else you felt the need to share? Any last insults to my intelligence?
