It is out of respect. 'Drift' is your original name and the one you have elected to go by. Why should I call you by any other name?

[ that's more or less the truth of it. that and Megatron understands having a name to go by that people are constantly messing up. a name is an important thing. thus if Drift wants to be Drift that's what Megatron will call him. if he had wanted to go by Princess Sparkles, Megatron might have given a bow when saying that name too.

unfortunately it doesn't seem like the other is going to let the whole brand go in lieu of the task at hand... ]


The brand I wear is of my choosing. Upon reflecting over the last four million years, I realized that it is time for a change. After putting an end to Shockwave's plans, I willingly turned myself in.

[ essentially? Megatron had realized that he had gone too far the moment he ordered the attack. ]

[This is the sound of the rapid blinking of eye shutters and whirring processors.]

.... Some stuff happened to you, after D-Void, didn't it? [Just a guess, because some stuff happened to him too.] Shockwave though... Will you tell me about it sometime?

[Because he's not getting the bigger picture here yet. But maybe...maybe he wasn't the only one who had a life changing experience during that mess with D-Void and Vector Sigma. Maybe there's someone that can finally relate to his vision.

Yep. Sorry Megatron. He thinks you've found god now too.]

Not quite. I continued to believe that I could take Cybertron... Then I suppose you could say I saw the makings of myself in another and realized my folly.

[ that had been a hard pill to swallow. Bumblebee had all the best intentions, but failed like Megatron had. He is grateful to have been around the little Autobot as long a he had. A thumb rubs over the badge in thought. ]

I am prepared for the consequences of my crimes. Once we find the Knights of Cybertron, I will happily leave my fate to their discretion.
alwaysadrift: (not feeling so hot)

[personal profile] alwaysadrift 2014-06-27 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Hmm.

[Maybe he's a little disappointed. But there's a bright side right? He doesn't 'need' anyone to understand or believe him to have faith, and if he's the only one Vector Sigma that just makes him special right?]

[He grins.] I'm glad you've joined us. [The Autobots, the quest, those that search for a better way regardless of faction.] So you're searching for the Knights then? With Rodimus and everyone else?

[That probably went over real well.]

[ see... now there's a slow grin that's spreading across his fateplates. one that means he's clearly about to drop something on Drift to stir the spark. elicit some sort of reaction. ...Megatron is far too smug about the news that: ]

In a matter speaking. As captain, per Optimus Prime's orders.

[ HEH HEH HEH. ]
alwaysadrift: (very much eyetwitch)

[personal profile] alwaysadrift 2014-06-27 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Uh. Megatron grinning like that...it'd give anyone pause. Drift maybe less so, but he is still side-eyeing you Sir.]

Oh and you're caption now? That's gre-- [Wait WHAT? Megatron assuming command of some kind seems natural except WOW there is so much wrong with that statement!] But what about Rodimus!?
sorrynotguilty: (10)

[personal profile] sorrynotguilty 2014-06-27 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Which Rodimus? The one in the coffin or the one that's been acting like a petulant child and pouting in the corner?

[ because that sure is a thing that is going on. from Megatron's expression? he finds it distasteful. ]

Well what's new about---

[Wait, WHAT?]
alwaysadrift: (yup that's nasty)

.....

Did you say 'coffin'?

[Please say no. Because...NOPE.]

Indeed. A coffin. The corpse was an exact look alike of Rodimus. I was on my way to having the autopsy done to confirm the identity with Ratchet before I found myself here.

[ yeap. sorry to say, Drift. ]
alwaysadrift: (very much eyetwitch)

[personal profile] alwaysadrift 2014-06-30 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Look-alike....??

[That is some very intense peering Drift is doing in your direction Megatron. If there's a more appropriate reaction, he has no idea what it is.]

So you're saying there's a chance it might not be him?
sorrynotguilty: (22)

[personal profile] sorrynotguilty 2014-06-30 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ casual shrug. ]

There is. Given how we have found ourselves thrust into a different reality altogether, who knows.
alwaysadrift: (can't feel my legs)

[personal profile] alwaysadrift 2014-07-01 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
So he could be alive somewhere and dead somewhere else.

[Well that's just awesome. And not really in a 'thinking positive' kind of way, whoops. He rubs a hand over his face.]

I have to get home. We have to get home. The Lost Light needs a captain. The quest has to go on.
sorrynotguilty: (34)

[personal profile] sorrynotguilty 2014-07-01 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for your vote of confidence, Drift.

[ excuse you. what do you think he's been doing while Rodimus has been acting like a child? ]
alwaysadrift: (I totally put the toilet seat down)

[personal profile] alwaysadrift 2014-07-01 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
What?

You're here and he's either dead or what did you say? Pouting in a corner? So who the hell is being Captain, eh?

[This is flawless logic Megatron. Do the math!]

[personal profile] sorrynotguilty 2014-07-01 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
We have a chain of command for a reason. Ultra Magnus is perfectly capable of handling the situation until I return.

[ seriously, Drift. ]

I have also made lessons about the Knights of Cybertron mandatory so that the crew is educated on the matter.

[ thinking ahead... you know he does this. ]
alwaysadrift: (shit I left my swords at the gym again)

[personal profile] alwaysadrift 2014-07-01 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Well yes but...

[Ultra Magnus is about as religious as Ratchet's oil pan. Granted, Drift still feels like he owes then enforcer one after the red tape gambit he pulled on the Galactic Council at Theophany, but if Drift had to choose a vanguard to greet the Knights should they be found...it wouldn't Magnus.]

[SIGH]

I guess it's not my quest anymore, so much... [not that it's stopping him] But that's great! People should know more than just the old myths.
sorrynotguilty: (26)

[personal profile] sorrynotguilty 2014-07-01 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
My purpose in finding the Knights has very little to do with religious matters, Drift. [ why yes, he had read that file! he has read them all. ] It is to find a new home.

Have some faith in my leadership choices. Granted, I made the wrong calls, but those under my command were efficient.

[ in other words: he's not Rodimus. he knows what he's doing. ]
alwaysadrift: (WHUT)

[personal profile] alwaysadrift 2014-07-03 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Well yes, that too. [AHEM] And keeping it safe, right?

[He hopes so bc he's still got one hell of a scary vision in his memory core.]

Errrrr... [COUGHTURMOILCOUGH] Yes. I mean. Magnus will do a fine job, you're right.

[He's just frustrated that he can't be there. Drift never did deal well with feeling helpless overly well. It was hard enough to manage while in exile, but now, knowing about all these changes, it's harder than ever.]

[ SORRY DRIFT. JUST SHOOTING YOU A LOOK. WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING THERE, OLD FRIEND? ]

What?

[Kayneshrug]

Not like my disdain for Turmoil was unknown back then. I'm just nicer about it now. Ya know. Less swearing.
