video fwded to after the other Starscream's

[aerospacecommander]

Greetings my fellow shipmates. Since my alternate and far less charming version of me decided to place himself in your business I thought I might as well introduce myself.

My name is also Starscream. However, I'm not going to claim false responsibility over the majority of my people. I know I hold no authority over them and it would be foolish and dishonest to claim otherwise. Why my counterpart felt the need to deceive you, I have no idea. Please accept my apologies on his behalf.

With that said, it has come to my attention that former commander of 'my' faction is no longer fit for the job and I will be stepping up due to my rank in that regard. You can direct any issues concerning hostilities or problems from members of the Decepticons to me.

For those of you who don't know, look for this symbol.

[He'll point to the purple symbol on his wings.]

Those of my species with a different symbol, usually red, are Autobots and they have their own commander though I am not sure who exactly would be in charge of them on this ship. Usually they follow someone by the name of Optimus Prime. In his absence they seem to be a little disorganized if not embarrassing. I'm going to make a guess that Bumblebee will be the one you want to go to for them, but again I don't know exactly. This is just an assumption based upon what I've observed intelligence wise.

Ah, I think that's it. Thank you for your time.

Starscream out.

Whaaaaat? Starscream taking over the Decepticons? Oh my goodness!

Okay, buddy. Have fun with giant purple murder guy and Tailgate. You sure earned it.

[sousveillance]

Wait. Tailgate is a Decepticon now? What?

Re: video;

[knaval]

Since I came back, at least. Where've you been?

PRIVATE

[daintylegs]

I... guess I forgot to mention it. See, I was made a Decepticon about a month ago.

Somehow it just didn't come up.

[Oh, this is very awkward.]

[aerospacecommander]

It's merely a preemptive move. Besides, at least I am not calling rank over you Autobots unlike some people.

[knaval]

Pre-emptive for what? The war's over, pal. You're basically staking claim to an empty bucket.

[aerospacecommander]

Preemptive in case someone bigger and meaner shows up.

You haven't been around Decepticons much, have you? I assure you, to some the war will never be over.

Without unification they will be more of a danger to you and those organics you wish to protect.

You have got to be joking.

Re: video

[aminerproblem]

I don't believe he is.

Re: video

[iseedeadbees]

[look at how THRILLED Starscream is to see you ooooh goodness]

Megatron. I was wondering when you were going to come crawling out of your hole. Looks like you've been doing a stellar job keeping order around here.

[except that no. no not at all.]

Re: video

[aminerproblem]

Ah. So you've calculated that some feigned outrage will earn you a little approval, eh Starscream?

[the pleasure's all on this end of the comm feed, buddy.]

video

[aerospacecommander]

Problems?

Re: video

[iseedeadbees]

Hardly. Have fun leading the Decepticons. I'm sure they're going to be thrilled to have you calling the shots.

video

[aerospacecommander]

As opposed to you attempting to call the shots for everyone? Have fun with the Autobots ignoring your every command.

[sparkwhisperer]

[Tarn looks downright murderous]

There is absolutely no way that the Decepticons aboard this vessel will ever follow you.

[his tone is like ice, but he manages to keep it steady.]

video

[aerospacecommander]

So you'd rather follow the other me ?

Or are you gonna jump ship with Megatron and join the Autobots?

video

[daintylegs]

Uh, wait does that include me?

[TAILGATE'S NOT SURE ABOUT THIS.]

video

[aerospacecommander]

Depends. Do you still consider yourself a Decepticon? Then yes, it does include you.

Re: video

[daintylegs]

...

I guess so?

[But he already said he'd do what the other Starscream said. And then there's the whole matter of Tarn, Rodimus, and Megatron.

This is getting confusing.]

[tearsinajar]

[ Have a very wary looking organic, squinting down at her screen. ]

Let me get this straight— there are two of you? And what's the difference between uh, Decepticons and Autobots?

video; somehow i missed this

[aerospacecommander]

In a way, yes. But the other one is an inferior copy.

As far as the other thing, that depends on who you ask.

video; organics are tiny things, easy to miss 8D

[tearsinajar]

Are you sure the other one doesn't say the same thing about you?

[ The Ingress is a strange thing to her, capable of pulling onto the ship multiples of one person or being? Odd. ]

Okay, but I'm asking you right now.

[taselikeabee]

There's something we didn't see coming.

Said no one ever.

[aerospacecommander]

I take back what I said about you.

[taselikeabee]

What exactly did you say about me there that you could take back?
