This isn't quite how I thought I would be returning to Cybertron. Then again, I didn't think that I would find myself being pulled from one universe to the next like another I know of either.

[ and he'd like to be able to figure out how it is possible, but he can save that for another time. ]

Now I'm sure that those who are listening to this are likely tired of answering the same questions over and over again. I apologize that I have to ask said questions. Any mech who would offer more answers than what I have just received would have my gratitude and I would strive to return the favor.

If any of my comrades are here, please check in. [ he just wants to know you're all right, okay? ]

. . . Starscream?

[You /sound/ like him - well, vocally - but at the same time....you SO DO NOT sound like his trine leader...]

[ what is with this reaction? many have been having the same one.

at least he is pretty good natured about it. ]

That is my name, yes, but I doubt I am the one you seek.

Honestly, I'm past the point of seeking any one version of someone in particular.

Hmn, guess I'm just not used to- ["Hearing one of you who sounds so...polite" - yeah, he'll keep that part to himself, come to think of it.]

Uh . . . I don't know if there's one of me where you're from, so . . . name's Thundercracker.

Not used to someone without a shrill tone, yes?

[ oh he's met the other Screamer here. the SCREAM part certainly is fitting. ]

Still, it is good to meet you, Thundercracker. I cannot say that there is one that I work closely with. Usually I find myself on the receiving end of Soundwave's puns or Cliffjumper's... Well. [ Cliffjumperness. ]

Soundwave's...

[His optics brighten as he finally /really/ puts two-and-two together.]

You're another reverse-polarity mech. You're from Ravage's reality, right? And . . . a-and . . . Megatron's. The white and blue Megatron.

[He looks a little stricken, like he's talking someone he's lost, someone who meant a lot to him.]

Ah... Yes, I am. Ravage is a friend of mine and...

[ see that? it's a look of fondness. Megatron is pretty important to him. ]

I owe that particular Megatron a lot. It's been a while since I've seen him, but I hope he's doing well none the less.

. . . he was. Until recently…

So I have been informed and yet again I find myself cursing my luck. While I do wish I could have been here sooner to see him face to face, it will happen soon enough and I should just be content knowing he had been well looked after.

He was, yes. Though mostly he did the looking after. A bizarre change . . . but a welcome one.

[Oh, PIT, it's been too long since he's talked to another flyer. He's suddenly realizing how much he's REALLY MISSED having a wingmate to fly with.]

He is like that - more concerned with the welfare of others than his own. It can be irritating at times.

Yeah . . . did my best by him when he'd let me.

Hm. Have you been offered a tour of Haven yet? [a pause] You're a flyer, right? Seeker?

[The only thing that'd be more "wrong" than a polite Starscream would be a flightless one.]

And for that, you have my thanks.

[ and Starscream falls silent, for a moment. "Seeker," huh? ]

I can fly, yes... Seeker? That is a group under Prime's command.

[ he is no Seeker. ]

[He starts to comment, stops...looks like he's about to try again but then changes his mind on /what/ he's going to say.]

Reverse...right. Let me guess, they're groundpounders of some kind?

[ interesting reactions! ]

Built for speed, but yes, all ground bound vehicles.

Hmn. Another difference between our realities, then.

In mine, I am a Seeker. We are the highest class of aerial builds. [a smirk - he can't help it, he /is/ still borderline-arrogantly proud of what he is, always will be] We are built for speed too, I'll grant that parallel. Speed and power. And there's not a single one of us among the Autobots.

Unfortunately, I cannot say the same here. There is a Seeker amongst our numbers that defected from the Autobots.

[ but he does note the pride in the other. there's nothing inherently wrong with it. ]

When you say builds... You mean to say this is your natural frame?

Mostly. I've had a slight modification so that my alt-mode matches one of the aerial vehicles native to the planet my group found ourselves on last. My fully natural frame's alt is a Tetra.

We don't have natural alt forms... The technology to transform is still relatively new, actually. Unfortunately, this means that my frame had never been designed to fly until the modifications had been made.

[Okay, that makes him GAPE openly for a moment. But then he'll recover himself.]

Huh . . . okay . . . you're a flyer now, though? [Right!?]

Yes, I am and I must say that I may take some pride in it. Soaring through the sky is... It's quite exhilarating.

[The grin is somewhere between a smirk and genuine.]

Yeah, it is. There is nothing greater than the freedom of the skies. [That part, if nothing else, is sparkfelt.] Anyone ever teach you how to fly properly, though, or did you have to figure it out yourself? I'll show you some tricks of the trade if you'd like.

[He doesn't actually mean that as an insult. He's just remembering how much trouble Fracas had first learning to fly. The former grounder couldn't even manage to coast in a straight line until Thundercracker worked with him a little bit.]

Naturally I had to learn. There was no one capable of teaching the mechanics of a new technology. I've managed thusfar... Though I would not be opposed to learning more.

[ gonna rise to the challenge. Starscream might be a little bit of a show off in flight... not that TC needs to know this right away. ]

[If there's one thing Thundercracker prides himself in and shows off at…it's his prowess in the air. Like a challenge? Expect to be pushed. All for fun, of course.]

I see. Let me know the next time you're in the air. I'd be interested in seeing what you've managed so far.

You may as well keep your eyes on the skies then.

[ especially since he's going to follow CJ's lead and pick a space where he can just take off from the temple from.

lots of flying. ]

[That gets a wide grin from him.]

In that case, I'll see you shortly.

[And he'll switch to Audio as he heads off.]
