video; it's a PSA about Tarn

[Megatron wasn't in the best of moods. He'd rather not have to make this message at all - and it's clear in the tired lines of his face that something had been weighing heavily on his mind in the past few days.]

While on this ship, I have been surprised by the crew's willingness to cooperate with us Cybertronians, and our coexistence has been largely peaceful. That trust was broken with arrivals of more of our number, someone who followed me before I defected.

Tarn was an officer under my command during the civil war back in our world. He was trained to be militantly loyal to the Decepticon cause, and is equipped with a well-honed talent for violence. It is unlikely that he will overlook the fact that most of you are organic, and thus a sworn enemy. I know this because I was the one who personally trained him.

Asking to avoid Tarn may be a tall order on a small ship like this, but if you encounter any undue friction - I urge you to not provoke him. He has far less compunctions about killing than the others here do, and he will make the process as agonizing as his imagination allows.

Should you feel threatened, Magnus or I will aide you if we're called, at least until we can come up with a more permanent solution.

If I can assist in my capacity as Personnel Officer as well, I will do so. Hopefully, none of this forewarning will be necessary, but the least I can do is provide some understanding.

Wow
really I think this is an understatement of how terrible he is

anyway what am I??
spare parts???
I'm here to help 2 u no

I can't imagine why you'd leave such substantial training experience off your resume, Megatron.

Are there any other Cybertronians on the ship who you personally trained to hate organic life, or is Tarn the only one?

[There's the tinest glimmer of malice in Tarns eye]

You trained me to be thorough. You have no one to blame but yourself for this, Megatron.

Are you telling me that I spent a significant amount of time alone in the cargo bay with a murderous nutcase?

[OK. That's fine. Totally fine.]

I don't suppose the fact that gems are also inorganic will mean very much to him?

I am sorry to hear that.

This is not going to go over too good with my girlfriend. I bet I am going to have a fun time making this work out.

Why are you even allowing him to stay here? This isn't solving a problem it's just benching it until it gets worse.

[you know what would look nice on a pike? tarn's head.]

So we've got a multi-ton violent racist on board with us. Great. Thanks, Ingress. Thanks.

I know it wouldn't be right to offer the services of men that have gotten used to fighting large robots. Seems a little inappropriate given that you can obviously think independently.

But what if I could get Cyclonus or you specs for a better weapon? In case he becomes a problem that needs to be dealt with.

[Though he's more inclined toward Cyclonus since he's seen him use a sword.]

... That's it?

Just, "oh hey by the way organics and bots not even in the war at all, there's a scary, horrific murderer running around so uh call me if you want!"

That's all? Dude! The humans here didn't do anything wrong! If he's gonna kill them, put him in stasis!

how many cybertronians are there on the ship?

I guess "can't we all just be friends" isn't going to cut it here.

[This makes him a very sad marshmallow.]

I gave him the flowers I was going to give Cyclonus too, the jerk.

The sins of the past always return to haunt us, hmm?

[He quirks his lips up in something that might almost be a smile, bitter and wry all at the same time.]

And presumably, now you're so very peaceful... he's less willing to listen than he once was, yes?

If he's going to be a danger to the crew then he needs to be destroyed.

[ Well, well, well.

Granted, Megatron's message implies that this Tarn is the bad apple in an otherwise good bunch, but he's also admitted to the fact that he at one point had it out for humans too. Maybe he's changed his ways, maybe he hasn't, but it looks like Snake had been right to be wary.

He sends the message from his post at the cargo bay. He might have put in for a transfer, but it hasn't been approved yet, so here he is. ]

So what you're saying is that you reformed and saw the error of your ways, but your student didn't?

[Oh hey look, it's Niko's space racist girlfriend, who is a hell of a lot more willing to be sassy with giant robots when she's on a whole other deck and not fresh out of stasis.]

How many of the Cybertronians on board consider organics their sworn enemies? [Asking for a friend.]

If I may ask, how was that trust broken?

Big purple guy with an attitude problem, right? We've met.

[Sup book buddy, this feels rather unexpected. ]

How easily is he provoked?
