[Since there aren't enough confused seekers around here already RIGHT. This here video starts up with THIS mostly red jet guy all up in his drone's grill trying to adjust the video or WHATEVER. To say he looks displeased would be an understatement, he looks positively livid, but he seems to chill out once he realizes he's gotten the droid to start recording. Now he just looks mildly annoyed, but deep down in his stupid little spark he really just wants to start slapping people let's be honest.]

Okay, in the interest of saving all of us a little time, I'll cut right to the point. My name is Starscream. That's Lord Starscream, ruler of Cybertron, just so we're all on the same page. I don't know why I've been brought here, I don't know how I was brought here, I don't even know where here is, but I'm sure I don't need to state how little I appreciate being brought here against my will. That said, if any of you would be so kind as to point me towards the nearest space bridge or transport, I'd be willing to forget this little incident ever took place. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

[he decides to leave out the part about him ruining people should nobody help him out. no need to be too unpleasant right]

[Starscream just crosses his arms and gives Thunderdoodle the weirdest look he's probably ever given anyone in his life.]

Ooookay, I think you've been watching too much television. I hear it rots human brains, and apparently the same can be said for Cybertronians. Megatron never killed me. Maybe he came close a few times, but he failed to do that almost as spectacularly as he failed as a commander. I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but come on.

[He snorts.]

I'm not the one who's been out of the loop. The only loops I've been out of are the ones flown in open skies, since I've not been permitted to fly in centivorns.

Nothing's been the same since Vos fell. Skywarp and I were forced to watch as you were publicly executed in front of what remained of our population. Every Seeker's lived in slavery since, not even the bottom of the foot of the social ladder but more like the scum that grows there in the condensation.

[Okay no this is literally the most insane (and intensely creepy) shit Starscream's ever heard like ever. He backs away from his drone a bit and points UP.]

Look. The sky. There it is. Go fly around in it and clear you head or something, because you aren't making any sense. I don't know what you're talking about, but the last time I saw you was on Earth a few years ago, same with Skywarp, and since then I've been elected as the ruler of Cybertron. All three of us are alive as far as I know, and you've both ditched me.

[actually it was kind of a mutual ditching on all three of their parts but this is starscream]

And you make no sense to me. I don't know what an "earth" is, and we would never abandon our trine leader. You were Winglord of Vos once, but if any one mech is leader of all of Cybertron it's…i-it's Megatron.

[The hesitation and faint waver in his voice isn't from fear. It's from fiercely-intense and barely contained HATE.]

Okay, well that's a fancy sounding title, but that wasn't me. I was Megatron's second in command for four million years and not once, not once did he ever manage to take over Cybertron. Now, make it entirely inhospitable thanks to his pointless war, sure, he did that magnificently.

[Starscream just rubs at his face for a moment. CLEARLY this was getting them nowhere and WELL, frankly this Thundercracker clearly wasn't the Thundercracker he knew. Because that totally makes sense. Either way, it was time to come at this from a new angle. No need to start making enemies in crazyville right off the bat.]

You know, I've never really bought into the alternate timeline theories before, but I can't help but think that something like that is happening now. I mean, you're undeniably Thundercracker, at least as far as you look and sound like him, but not a single thing that you've mentioned lines up with my experiences.

[Thundercracker studies the other Seeker, a hand going subconsciously to his neck…well, subconsciously until he's made aware of the gesture - yet again - by the strange feeling of absence when his fingertips find the bare metal of his own throat. Not quite managing to hide a slight flinch, he makes himself drop his hand, nodding with a frown.]

Nor you mine. [He hesitates an instant, thinking.] Would you be willing to meet somewhere? I can't guarantee to answer any questions you probably have - I'm still waiting to wake up from this glitched dream myself - but . . . I don't know, maybe between us, we'll figure something out.

I suppose it couldn't hurt. I don't exactly know my way around yet, but if you shoot me some coordinates I'll probably be able to track you down.

[He isn't exactly thrilled by the idea of running off to meet wacky alternate universe TC, but he figures he can take him if it turns ugly for whatever reason. SO.]

Yeah. I'm at what they call the Hub. Appropriately, it's the center of this bizarre town. I'll meet you at the bar. Here.

[BLIP have some coordinates.]

[BOOP BOOP Starscream is looking over these coordinates]

The bar, hm? Sounds good to me, I'll head over right now.

[The ex-slave doesn't bother responding. He'll just find a corner booth to settle into.]

[Being a super fast JET it doesn't take Starscream long to show up. Once there he takes a quick look around to make sure nobody looks like they'd try to shoot him or anything, and slides into the seat across from Thundercracker.]

This isn't so bad. Cleaner than I expected, in any case.
