[riptide is pale. very pale. his optics are wide and the usual deep yellow glow of them is so intense it's almost white.

his grin is uneasy and forced.]

Hi! Just a quick note - who deals with the Ingress junk mail? Can I ask you not to leave body-- [he stops, inhales.] --just be more careful where you leave stuff, yeah? And, uh. Personal request. If anything comes through for me, space it. I don-- I don't want it. Ever.

[he looks about ready to shut off the video but stops.]

...Rodimus, don't look in the blue crate in the cargo bay. Just leave it.

[The humans are nasty don't repeat what they say. BUUUT just as a courtesy (or something), Starscream goes ahead and locks the rest of this chat.]

Well, this is locked. I don't really want to pry, but I can't ignore the fact that whatever is in that crate has you pretty worked up. Is it something we should dispose of?

Re: [Video now with super PRIVATE power]

[knaval]

No! It's nothing that concerns you, Starscream.

[that's kind offfff a lie, it sorta does. riptide is just trying to yell at starscream to get him to back off, because that worked the last few times.]

[SIGH Autobots are so goddamn difficult.]

Listen, I'm just trying to help. For all I know, whatever you've got in that crate is dangerous.

[Or a body, y'know judging by what Riptide was saying earlier. but dangerous would be cooler]

Re: [Video now with super PRIVATE power]

[knaval]

He-- it's not. It's really not.

[riptide is being ESPECIALLY difficult because y'know. head.]

Re: [Video now with super PRIVATE power]

[iseedeadbees]

Okay, that's good to know. Now, we can either leave it at that, or I can help you do something about it. Up to you.

Re: [Video now with super PRIVATE power]

[knaval]

[he's quiet for a while, clearly having some internal debate.

starscream being in the loop is never a good thing.]

Leave it.

Re: [Video now with super PRIVATE power]

[iseedeadbees]

Consider it left. The offer stands, in case you change your mind.

[See look how agreeable Starscream is. He figures the rest of the dipshit Autobutts will spill the beans sooner or later anyway. He moves to stop the video unless Ripboat has anything more to add]
