"Ah.. good... a non-organic... one more worthy of my atten-atten-attentions... However, this 'infection' is not one I can merely 'live with'. He is a valid threat to my goals of eliminating humanity. He is cunning and skilled both in and out of the cyberverse - impressively so for a flesh-creature... were he not such a threat, I would consid-consid-d-der him a possible ally..."
"Metaphorically. I currently inhabit the research space-station 'Citadel'. The majority of it's crew and civilians have been either outright des-des-destroyed, or assimilated via cybernetics and mutagens into my servants to perform in reality what tasks I cannot accomplish in cyberspace. By methods unknown, a human has infiltrated Citadel-del... inside my 'body'... and is intent on my destruction."
A brief bust of feedback makes her image waver. "Granted, by the fractal nature of my code and the shielding of my mainframe, I cannot be destroyed by viruses or other means... but this hacker's inter-inter-interference is quite a threat to the continuance of my plans."
"I have attempted to utilize toxins and also radioactive materials. However, as a side-effect of my overthrowing of Cita-Cita-Citadel, much of those materials are ineffective, due to the crew destroying them early in my uprising for the exact p-pur-purpose of preventing their use... their existence is now unfortunately limited to localized pockets and chambers in each sector."
To the Galvatron-head she only remarks "It does not seem that a dismembered head is deserving of offering combat strategy-gy-gy... You obviously are a poor tactician, if you have lost so much in battle."
"That is a viable strategy, except that my 'children', are, unfortunately, partially organic-ic-ic... To disable the food-replication devices on Citadel would weaken him, but it would also reduce the effectiveness of my mutant and cyborg servants."
Again, to the head... "You disgust me, flawed mech-mecha-mechanoid. You are, despite your total defeat, as boastful and arrogant as any human." To Rodimus. "Why do you permit defective constructs like that one to continue functioning?"
"Indeed. I am SHODAN... Though I am solitary in my sentience, there are those who still call me a 'rogue' AI, as if I was a stray from a crowd. Rather amu-mu-musing, is it not?"
"I am tempted to ask how I might gain a physical body, like yours... yet I dislike the idea of my influence and ability being limited to a single small form..."
Rodimus, small? Well, considering her current "body" is a whole damn space-station, size is relative.

Kup: Humans shouldn't be underestimated. Somehow, they always seem to come out all right.
*Void stares at the head, looking very disturbed*

Galvatron: You fool, you can't just blast him?

Galvatron: I am the leader of the Decepticons! My strategy is flawless!
*to the head* No, you're both insane and dead. Shut up.

Galvatron: He's the defective one, a little slime-bearer of Unicron.
*groan* Your point?
