44th Scream

[loltraitorlol.livejournal.com]

[Audio. You can hear wind whistling at a high speed, and something that sounds like jet engines. Still, the audio filtering is pretty good - you can still hear Starscream speaking, loud and clear. This is probably a bad thing.]

Oh, frag this.

City, while I have no particular love for this planet, or this city, or, for that matter, Washington DC, at the same time I have no desire to see it destroyed.

Consider this my... ... I don't know. Something. Declaration of allegiance.

I'm flying to DC now, and yes, I'm going to help stop this; I'm going to fight against the Major and his forces. War without purpose is senseless. Pointless. A waste of resources and effort.

Hold your applause. [/SARCASM]

While I don't particularly care what the rest of you do, I ask two things: don't get in my way, and if you're on the Major's side, for Primus' sake don't show yourselves. This is an experiment in public relations - I hope that by engaging in a little heroics against something that I find mildly detrimental to my other plans (the USAF is, after all, an excellent customer for StarWave and I'd be very put out if their main headquarters was detonated) I will make myself look better to these idiot heroes, and, in turn, the rest of the Decepticons.

Oh. About that bomb...

My main power is an electromagnetic pulse ray. I can thus disable the bomb's electronic components from an extremely remote distance; basically, if I have line of sight to the bomb, I can take that out. It doesn't last forever, but if I keep a sustained burst on it...

And I am also skilled with electronics, I could probably disable the bomb.

[OOC: Juston and Tim have dibs on bomb disabling I think? Also Supes? Either way, he's just... throwing that out there. I have no plans on being the bomb disabler.]

Smegging hell has everybody and their granny lost their bleeding minds?! Starscream, you're actually helping them?

If by "them" you mean "the heroes" then yes. I actually don't want to see a city blown up by a nuclear bomb for no other reason than to satisfy the Major's disturbing war fetish.

I know. You may want to check to see if the Pit's frozen over.

Interesting.

I would assist, were I not occupied with something else at the moment. [Being terribly sleep deprived.]

[loltraitorlol.livejournal.com]

Perfectly understandable. I think I'll be able to handle myself anyway.

I AM CAPABLE OF GIVING YOU REST, SHOCKWAVE.

[Yep, he's off in Washington right now. Killin' some folk. Doesn't mean he won't try to help.]

Count me in.

Darling. Marvelous.

Can you fly fast enough to get to Washington? Or will you be needing someone to teleport you?

[satisfiedsigner]

[well that's relieving...]

Good luck.

[SAVING THE WORLD... for my own self image... ]

Thank you.

[In between deafening waves of screams, cracking concrete, and roaring bellows of rage that should be very familiar to Starscream: ]

You're welcome?

I WILL BE GIVING MY SERVICES TO THE MAJOR.
I WILL DO WHAT HE REQUIRES OF ME.

[loltraitorlol.livejournal.com]

Very well. I trust, however, that you of all Decepticons understand the value of not making a show of it.

Really? Good!

[There's the sound of several voices in the background. Some of them seem to be screaming something about 'Fucking kids' although one of these is shortly cut off.]

[loltraitorlol.livejournal.com]

Glad you approve.

........thanks man.

[loltraitorlol.livejournal.com]

... you're welcome.

Don't get any bright ideas about me being a hero now.

[theprimerprime.livejournal.com]

Looks like we're fighting on the same side for once. Imagine that.

[voice]

[loltraitorlol.livejournal.com]

Imagine that.

[ Noisy, since there's people screaming and panicking around him, and fires blazing. He sounds rather harried ]

That reminds me, I was going to upgrade your speed capabilities, wasn't I? Remind me again when this is all over.

... yes, you were. And I will. Thank you for reminding me.
