[By the Matrix... And other such stupid exclamations. His alternate... really was pathethic. Skywarp doesn't have a lot of patience, what with Starscream's reappearance and the generic repairs and how the slag he lost limbs.]
... It's a ball of organic fluff.
A slaggin' tiny ball of fluff. It's hardly larger than your optics!
How the slag can that be scary? If ya don't shape up, I'm gonna come over there an' stuff it in your cockpit.
[Skywarp's sneering, shaking his helm. Sure, he'd known... But getting continual proof at how afraid his alternate is... That's just painful.]
It's scary when you wake up to it on your cockpit and you have no idea what it is! How do I know it wasn't trying to crawl in me and... breed or something?! You are so mean, Skywarp! And to think I got stuck in a wall because I wanted to be more like you!
[Oh no, his hero is angry and cowardly Warp just might cry!]
[Okay, let him process this. It'll take a few moments. Skywarp vents after a bit, optics narrowing.]
Okay... Firstly. Your reaction to somethin' strange on top of you? Shoot it. Or squish it, whatever. Don't run away. Secondly... How the slag did you warp into a wall?
[Skywarp frowns, wondering if he should be impressed or not.]
Did you deactivate your safety protocols or somethin'? That's impressive, but if you're gonna do that you have to be precise when you're warpin'.
I thought to shoot it, but then I thought it might do something like make it multiply instead of killing it. There was a good five seconds before I ran...
The wall... I'm still not used to the casino and where I was and where I thought I was warping too were not the same so I didn't calculate right.
Gah! You think I want to be scared? I can't control it!
Why shouldn't ponies talk? You big walking tractors manage it well enough.
Trixie, like all the most magical unicorn ponies, can wink out of sight, then wink back in someplace else. [She can, because she's really been practicing, but she's rather limited in her aim and distance.]
Trixie winked into that big, mean ro-bot's storage place, once. He wanted to keep that pet dragon to himself, and not even feed her. Then he tried to take Trixie, but the Great and Powerful Trixie defeated him with her rope-charming trick.
[Dirge comes down from his office, grinning widely and holding a data pad.]
Wonderful. Hold this. [He hands 'Warp the data pad and goes to scoop up the creature. Dirge then dumps it in whatever container his brother has provided.]
These little things have a very special power~ One that I'd very much like to harness for my own gains.
[Skywarp watched as his brother approached and took the data pad as it was handed to him]
You don't think there might be more of them do you?
[He watched as his brother went into the room and scooped the thing up.]
What is it, Dirge? And what kind of power does it have? [Sure he was curious but he was also keeping a safe distance from the container that the thing was being held in.]
[And now all we see is poor little Warp running around the room freaking out and shouting about a needing a medic. He might be running into walls too, who knows. He's just being overly spastic.]

Don't fear, cowardly ro-bot. Trixie has experience defeating even the most magical beasts. [Not really, but she'll claim it, anyway.]
Trixie can easily wink over there. [She's still not that great at teleporting, by winking in and out, but she's been practicing.]
[Ponyfeathers! Did he say Dirge?! She doesn't have the best history with the big greedy ro-bot.] Did you say "Dirge"?

Great, fluff balls and now talking ponies... what next?
Yes, Dirge is my brother and I live with him.
Wink?

So, winking is what you call teleporting?
[Now he looks just scared and confused.]
A dragon? My brother has a dragon!?

Don't shoot them. Gather up a bunch of storage devices and wait for me.

[The feed shows him finding something to hold the fluff ball in and then going back to the doorway, he makes sure the puff ball is still there.]
Okay. I got something to put it in... I'll leave catching it to you, brother.

I NEED A MEDIC TO CHECK ME OUT!!!

[Jetfire tilts his head, musing.]
I am unfamiliar with this creature but it's possible that it reproduces by egg laying. And if it needs warmth, the eggs might as well.....
[Because that's not a disturbing image, at all.]
