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.

I think it bloody well has, yes!

Look, be careful! I'm not going to lose all of you when those damn bombs go off, you bastard.

[notsoloyal]

Interesting.

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

Aww, you really do care.

I'll be fine.

[loltraitorlol.livejournal.com]

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

Smeghead.

[notsoloyal]

[Yawns.] Do try not to get yourself blown up.

Darling. Marvelous.

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

...

Glitchhead.

[seekerfemme]

Not quite as fast as you, but fast enough if I push it.

[Sounds of her getting into the armor suit.]

[loltraitorlol.livejournal.com]

Oh come now. It's me. I'll be fine.

If you show up radioactive, I'll never speak to you again.

Radioactivity doesn't even hurt you.

That's entirely beside the point.

RIMMER I COULD BE VOMITING GAMMA RAYS AND YOU WOULD PROBABLY FEEL NOTHING

SOME TIMES I JUST

DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND YOUR LOGIC

[encrypted]

[loltraitorlol.livejournal.com]

See you there.

[notsoloyal]

Exactly. It's you.

[loltraitorlol.livejournal.com]

Oh come on! Have a little faith!

[satisfiedsigner]

[well that's relieving...]

Good luck.

[seekerfemme]

Right behind you.




Sir.

If you contaminate me or anybody else with radiation, it sticks around, modo. I'd then go on to contaminate anybody else I came in contact with? Hello. Even I know that. Why do you think I'm from three million years in the future? It took that long for the radiation on the Dwarf to die down to manageable levels.

[loltraitorlol.livejournal.com]

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

Thank you.

[loltraitorlol.livejournal.com]

Actually, I had no idea why you were from three million years in the future. I just assumed your people had finally figured out what a reasonable timespan was as opposed to the ridiculously short, nasty lives you usually live.

I stand corrected.
