[The noise of wind whistling, quite loud, like the recorder is up somewhere high, with the very faint sounds of traffic down below. The comm is registered to "Marc Brut".

Starscream has been in the City for several hours, now. Hours of not posting with distressed vocalizations or angry threats, no demands. No begging for help. Hours of holding himself back from emotional systems collapse while he maneuvers the demands of an entirely new universe is no mean feat, but he doesn't expect a medal (it'd be nice though).

For a moment there's only a soft tapping, and then a voice, pitched evenly with rehearsed-sounding tones. Edged calm. Keeping things level, but under the veneer is the shadow of distress.]

I propose an informational bartering session, with whoever is on the Network--with whoever can speak to me who is in charge.

I - have invaluable data. You won't be disappointed.

[a few moments pass in silence, and then he ends the post. But a minute later, he's clicking it back on, unable to resist the urge to add]

And if you're ignoring my hails on purpose, you know who you are, so help me--!

He did upon his death, correct.

However money is generally a thing you will require, and I happen to own both StarWave and Dancitron. Assistance in both that and with my abilities is always offered to Decepticons that require it.

[a flicker of unease at the "death" thing, but he's pretty sure Shockwave is just trying to intimidate him, so the appropriate response is never back down]

I will keep your overtures of alliance in mind. [and muzzling down his own ego, which is no mean feat] ....Thank you.

[notsoloyal]

... Thank you? Hmm, you are at least better than the last Starscream.

[ex_backstab594]

It's not evident that I'm better than every Starscream? [wait is that a diss or

nevermind whatever]

And, ah. What is your opinion on Skyfire?

[notsoloyal]

You will need to prove that first.

If he is offering you assistance, take it.
