[aerospacecommander]

Fine. I am.

[Megatrons are so demanding. Speaking of which, he moves to stand beside the former Decepticon leader as he does another scan.]

So now it's doing the same thing -- the energy is concentrating on both spots. I don't think it's enough though.

[sorrynotguilty]

Yet it is straining the force field.

[ so if they have multiple breeches at the same time... Megatron nods. ]

Can you estimate how many points of contact we will need?

[aerospacecommander]

Don't know. With this size and strength you might need quite a few. I'm not exactly a force field engineer.

[But again, this is strange because Megatron is actually listening to him. Perhaps he can use this for his advantage later. Even if this Megatron is a stupid Autobot.]

[sorrynotguilty]

Unfortunately, you may very well be the closest thing we have.

[ which is the truth. unlike the Megatron that Starscream may be used to, this one is of the mindset to try to get something done rather than sit around and just through snide comments around at each other. ]

We may need a third.

[aerospacecommander]

[This seriously has to be something along the lines of brainwashing. Which makes Starscream suspicious. So he gives Megatron another look before going back to the situation at hand.]

Or fourth. Or Fifth. Or even tenth at this rate.

[sorrynotguilty]

You have two weapons. I have one at my disposal.

[ what they need a more coordinated assault here. ]

I am beginning to regret sending Drift off to deal with the other group of aliens.

[aerospacecommander]

Drift? Who in the pit is Drift?

[Should he know this? Should he care? Actually he probably shouldn't care because that sounds like an Autobot-ish name.]

[sorrynotguilty]

A former and once more comrade of mine. I take it Deadlock won't ring any metaphorical bells either.

[aerospacecommander]

I have never heard of either of them.

[He assumes they are talking about two separate people at least. But back to the topic at hand.]

So what about this thing? Do you want to go find someone and be like 'hey you, shoot at this'? Or is it going to be more rocks?

[sorrynotguilty]

[ he is not amused, Starscream. ]

Quite audacious, aren't you?

[ more so than his own... so cheeky. he is not sure if he likes it. ]

No more rocks, Starscream.

[aerospacecommander]

[But Starscream is amused. And in the look on his face, it clearly shows.]

You forgot to add "amazing" and "irreplaceable" to that sentence.

[sorrynotguilty]

No, I forgot to add "pretentious" and "injudicious."

[ well... this Starscream might not be rash, but he sure seems like the type! ]

[aerospacecommander]

...

[Starscream just gives a very line-face like stare.]

Okay, so who gave you acess to a thesaurus?

[At this point, someone might have to come in and move these two along.]

[sorrynotguilty]

I hardly need a thesaurus to exchange word with you, Starscream.

[ quirk of a lip. oh this reaction might be worth it. ]

A published author hardly would.

[aerospacecommander]

[Oh there's the typical Megatron thing of insulting his intelligence. But that second part? That earns a very odd look. Starscream does not believe him.]

... What would you even write about? "Blowing Things Up: The Novel"? Or ... let me guess, "A Tyrant's Guide to Punching People" ?

[sorrynotguilty]

You'll never know.

[ because he'll never say! mwahahaha.

but no, seriously. they are getting off topic. as much as he loves to confuse and incite rage within Starscream - any Starscream apparently - they do have a task here.

hence why Megatron is turning to head out. ]

[aerospacecommander]

Where are you going?

[And he might actually be curious about whatever it was that Megatron wrote. Not that he'd admit as such or assume it was anything else other than stupid.

But anyway, if Megatron wants to wander off, fine. Starscream will just stay here and stare at the force field.]

[sorrynotguilty]

I am going to fetch another person or two.

[gamora]

( Giant robots? New, but not exactly anything noteworthy. Gamora'd only been paying attention to them intermittently - her attention at the moment on cleaning her sword rather than watching them poke at the force field.

But it is hard to ignore one of them when they approach, and her eyes flick up - and up - until she can stare into whatever passes for its eyes. )

What do you want?

[aerospacecommander]

[Megatron can go off and do whatever then. Starscream doesn't care. ... He is going to go bother that green person over there.

Which he does. And he smirks down at her, he thinks he might like this one. She sounds like she has a bit of a bite.]

What, I'm not allowed to come over and say hello? Rather rude dontcha think?

[gamora]

Only idiots think about casual conversation in a situation like this. ( Rude is her default. Along with scathing and insulting. ) Does it look like I care?

( Mmmm rudeness. )

[aerospacecommander]

Perhaps I am just that good at multi-tasking. Besides, I think you're worth taking a bit of a risk to have a casual conversation with.

[Oh. Yes. He likes her.]

[gamora]

( Just this face. )

And maybe I've got better things to do.

[aerospacecommander]

I don't see you doing anything else.

[Come on, don't be like that.]

So what planet are you from?

[Yep. Going to continue that casual conversation.]

[gamora]

( A half shrug. )

It didn't have a name.

( Also: everyone from it is dead except for her. Do you really want to do this, Screamer? )
