I am your new leader!

[starsmirk]

Where's Megatron? He's certainly not here. What an incompetent fool.

Never mind him. This is a good thing! If he is not here, then I am the new leader of the Decepticons, effective immediately! Come and greet your new leader!

I've waited a long time for this.

Why, you're nothing at all like my creator. And there's certainly no possible way you are an alternate version of him.

[starsmirk]

...Ramjet? Is that you? You're looking... thin! And when did your chin get so long?

Oh well, it's at least nice to see a reliable seeker here.

[liarscream]

Oh yes, very reliable indeed...

[starsmirk]

Something about Ramjet's tone makes Starscream pause. However, given his options, Ramjet is the most familiar Decepticon around.

I feel like I'm missing something... But never mind, there are more important issues at stake.

You mentioned alternate versions of bots. This is an alternate universe? That would explain your... appearance, I suppose.

[liarscream]

My, you're the most perceptive Decepticon I've ever met. But you've got nothing to worry about.

I never said there were any alternate universes.

[starsmirk]

Well, not in those exact words, no. You mentioned a creator and said 'alternate version of him.'

Keep the compliments coming, though. I like that.

[liarscream]

No I didn't. In fact, I'm actually the original.

[starsmirk]

What do you mean, you're the original? Ramjet, you're not making any sense. Is there something wrong with your processor?

[liarscream]

I didn't say I was the original.

Are you accussing me of lying? Because I'm most certainly not. In fact, I'm the most truthful clone in the lot.

[starsmirk]

Ramjet, I am coming very close to not liking you. Is there anyone else I could talk to? What do you know about Thundercracker and Skywarp? Are they here too?

[liarscream]

Oh, but your approval of me is very important to me. Should I want any less from an alternate version of my beloved creator?

[starsmirk]

Ha! You said it! You said 'alternate version!'

So your creator is another Starscream... He must be an inferior version, if you're the best he could come up with.

[liarscream]

Why, I'm not offended at all by that statement. In fact, I think you should insult me some more.

[starsmirk]

Oh! I get it! You lie about everything. Every single thing you have said to me has been a lie!

Proud of his realization, Starscream thinks back through the entire conversation to try and make sense of things.

[liarscream]

I'm surprised you would make that assumption. After all, you, and all versions of you, are so truthfull that I should only naturally get your honesty.
