Victory!
*Megatron chuckles as he spirals through the clouds, Oikodomopolis at his heels.* How many energon cubes did you say you had gathered again?
[Oikodomopolis]Three hundred forty-two. Coulda gotten more, but I ran out of subspace storage.
Excellent!
[Oikodomopolis]Yeah, but we didn't kill any Autobots!
*Megatron smirks.* That was not our goal. We succeeded well beyond expectations- three hundred forty-two energon cubes! And not one had to be abandoned to the Autobots!
[Oikodomopolis, musingly]You know, the Autobots will repair all the damage we did.
And so...?
[Oikodomopolis]We'll be able to raid that place again.
Very good. *Megatron laughs again. He does not mention the other things that pleased him: that he hardly had to interfere with the battle at all, and the Autobots felt they needed a gestalt to convince Oikodomopolis to leave. How much firepower she had to toss around. The really bad Autobot PR that was going to come out of this mess.*
[Comm: Soundwave]Soundwave! How are the rest of my Decepticons doing?
