[Megatronus Prime doesn't look happy – not that 'happy' is an emotion he displays regularly nor easy to identify on those rare occasions that he does, but his frown at the moment is exceptionally severe. The last week and a half have been lousy, to put it mildly.

Losing the trail of the monster he'd been chasing, having his judgement questioned, a rather strained meeting with the other Firstforged... It all tends to wear down a mech's patience.]


I trust that the recent bloodshed has been enough to sate even the most violent appetites.

[It doesn't look like he's going to be terribly sympathetic if it wasn't, however.]

Let it be known that these circumstances – the killing of your comrades – were exceptional. On behalf of my fellow Firstforged, let me make it clear:

[He moves towards the camera, close enough that subtle flames can be seen shifting between the cracks of his armor plates and the slats in his mask. Make no mistake: he is addressing you directly, dear refugee.]

You are strictly forbidden to murder one another.

Henceforth, those who choose to ignore this decree will face corrective measures at the hands of their Firstforged. We will no longer tolerate anyone weakening our own forces with infighting. I don't care how much you may or may not like each other. Any refugee bearing a Glyph is permitted to exist within the Haven without having to fear for their life.

Should any of you object to this imposition, I welcome you to settle it with me in the arena.

[He leans back from the feed, his expression shifting from 'threat of imminent violence' to the more familiar 'general contempt for other lifeforms.']

I trust that this message has been sufficiently direct. If you have questions, make them succinct and ask them now.

Maybe... someone should have told Overlord. Before he went on a murdering spree. N-not that I think he'll listen...

I mean, he's done it once before and I doubt anything is going to stop him.

[You know, just saying he would have liked not being killed.]

He will not be touching you again.

Ah, I uh. I know. But others were killed during that and... well, they didn't deserve it.

[Even if Wheeljack had been kind of a jerkbot, he certainly hadn't deserved to be offlined by that guy.]

Whether they deserved it or not is irrelevant.

[Oh Fracas, you think he actually cares about who Overlord kills?]

[personal profile] redshirtrobot 2012-12-15 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
It's relevant here. Well... it's relevant when you know the mechs involved.

[His fellows hardly deserved what they got, too.]
noparachutes: (☢ see this scar)

[personal profile] noparachutes 2012-12-18 11:13 am (UTC)(link)
And you know the mechs?
redshirtrobot: (Action Master)

[personal profile] redshirtrobot 2012-12-18 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
One of them, at least. I'm not even sure who all else he hurt...

[But Wheeljack. Wasn't so bad, once he got used to him.]

I-I'm not implying that at all. [Though admittedly he doesn't know what you can actually do, he avoids FirstForged for a reason.]

But I'm just... if death doesn't do anything and he can't be imprisoned, what do you plan to do to discourage mechs like him from... from torturing and viciously slaughtering the rest of us?

I... wouldn't really know, sir. I'm used to it being, well. 'You only live once', not 'you only live once unless you don't'.
We don't get second chances. Ever.

Guess I can only hope he listens. [And stay far, far out of the way of most mechs in Megatronus's temple. Just in case.]
redshirtrobot: (OH RLY...?)

[personal profile] redshirtrobot 2012-12-17 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose so...

... With all due respect, I'm doing just fine cowering behind Shockwave's ankle. And he. [Deep inhale, steel self.] He's bothered trying to teach me to defend myself, which is more than I can say for anyone else I've known before.

So could any of the officers of the Decepticons where I'm from, but they don't usually indiscriminately murder their own minions. Overlord isn't... exactly the kind of Decepticon from my world. And he's definitely not Shockwave.

I'm not frightened. [Which, while true in some say, feels strange to say.]

I'm concerned because there are others here even less well-equiped to try to deal with him than me, if he chooses to ignore your warnings. Or if he tries to circumvent them some way.
