Who Wing and Starscream
Where Chez Wing
When After the return from the planet .
Warnings: none I can think of. Starscream, maybe? 

Wing was one of the engineers who'd helped lay out Crystal City, so it wasn't as though technology was a complete mystery. And he had confidence that given enough time, he could noodle through fixing the convertor he'd found.  The problem was, he didn't really have time. Megatron might have found a supply of energon but that wouldn't last forever.  This...would, if they could get it working. 

So he'd called Starscream, as Megatron had suggested, and was waiting, his set of tools and the broken-down convertor spread out on his hab suite's kitchen table. Between the two of them, they had to be able to find an answer. Collaboration and cooperation, just as it should be among Cybertronians.

[Wing is carefully laying the cleaned pieces to one side, for Starscream to examine. It was an old machine, crusted with goopy old oil.]

Of course I do. I gave my life for him.

ugh so sorry i lost this

[Well, that gives Starscream a pause. He stops what he's doing to look at Wing with with an odd expression.]

I assume you mean that metaphorically. Since you don't look like a ghost.

[There is another pause.]

And ghosts don't exist.

We were leaving for battle, a battle I knew I would die in.

[It's as simple as that, really, to him.]

If.

They don't exist, how do you know what one looks like?
