*checks chronometer and blinks at the realisation that, in a rare synchronicity, Cybertron and Charr downshift times have matched up for once*
Which means that myself and
giri_guy probably both have nothing better to do than be on the internet right now. I'm amusing myself watching monitors while
hidden_watcher does something I'll make him tell me about later... and I just found Rodimus Prime posting
this.
*long hiss of drawn breath, steadying myself with the slow drag of air through my intakes, fingers clenched on the edge of the console so hard that the metal buckles*
It never occurred to me that he might have come so close to... *trails off*
And if he had - defeat out of our victory, then, because if it was bad that Rodimus lived, how much worse if Unicron had endured also? *shudders*
Galvatron could have defeated Unicron regardless - certainly given the Matrix-Bearer as a weapon instead of an enemy. I believe it would have been so... and the glory would have been his instead of the Prime's, but...
He, I, Scourge - what would we have been? Not what we are now, for certain. Maybe worse, maybe better, and I should not judge because I cannot, do not know... but-!
*bends head and clenches fist* *voice barely more than a whisper* Galvatron-!
*gets up and moves to leave, heading for
chaos_gunner's throneroom* *stops in the doorway, with a horrified look of delayed enlightenment*
Wait a cycle - does this mean that Rodimus Prime was secretly thinking...?
...oh, no. No!
*leaves in even more of a hurry, footsteps clanging quick and a little unevenly on the deck*
Over and out,
