[Tailgate tries, very awkwardly, to raise his MID over his shoulder so the viewers can see the banner behind him. It is a spiritually beautiful thing, and Tailgate appears to be very proud of it. He allows the viewers to admire it for a few seconds more before lowering his device and making his announcement proudly.]

This banner belongs to the Lost Light, which is the ship most of us come from. Whenever we actually achieve something for the quest we're supposed to be doing, we celebrate with an appropriate banner! As you can probably see, this banner is in good condition. We're not very good at keeping on track, so we haven't used it very often. But hey, being sidetracked is a part of life and I'm sure whatever we're supposed to be looking for is overrated anyway. I mean, who really needs knights? Knights are silly.

Anyway! Since I like sharing, I'm more than willing to lend out this extremely important item to anyone who needs it to celebrate their undoubtedly numerous accomplishments on the Moira. Whether you actually feel like celebrating or if you feel like being a sarcastic jerk, this banner is right for you!

Anyone who wants to borrow it just needs to-

[There's a loud FWUMP behind him and Tailgate lets out a yelp as the banner suddenly falls from the wall.]

UGH! It took me forever to get this thing up, I should have asked Riptide... [Grumble grumble.]

[Forgetting that his MID is still streaming, Tailgate works on getting the banner upright again. During which time the viewers at home get a lovely view of another banner lying on the floor. Why Tailgate has this one is anyone's guess, but to interested viewers it reads, quite clearly: FUCK OFF MEGATRON in the largest font Swerve could have managed.]

Oh, is this thing still running? I'll just-

Remind me to borrow that other one the next time he sends me some kind of message ordering me around.

[She doesn't know what "fuck" actually means by itself, but the meaning of "fuck off" as a phrase is something that she's picked up just by being on the ship for as long as she has.]

[Tailgate knows it's a swear word and that's good enough for him. Besides, it's very tame compared to the ones Ratchet taught him once.]

Personally I think it'd be hard to boss someone around when there's a big ol' banner hanging over your head telling you to fuck right off. It won't deter him though, he's way too tough for that.

[Dammit. She knows he's right. Her face falls a bit.]

Whatever. As long as he gets a taste of my displeasure that should be enough, I guess.

What'd he even do to tick you off?

[Considering both Megatron and Peridot, Tailgate doesn't think it's much.]

TCH. More like what didn't he do? He's constantly ordering me around like he thinks he's in charge of me somehow, and he's stubborn and lets his emotions get in the way of perfectly logical suggestions!
