[The video cuts in suddenly, static-laced and foggy at the edges as steam rolls by. Its Magnum, the faintest hint of terror being tightly locked under a grim visage as he is thoroughly power-washed by drones in The Silver Bullet's locker rooms.]

Soundwave.[He isn't bothering to lock this--that would take too much time, and he fears he has none

Oh.

Well now.

Isn't this wonderfully ironic.

[And he's retracted his mask, just for you, Magnum, so you can see his lopsided little smirk of pure glee.]

I do so hope you like having a taste of your tactics, Megatron. Enjoy choking on it.

[LOCKED + ENCRYPTED]

[glassloyalist]

... this may be a perfect opportunity for us. Depending on what it does to him...

[LOCKED + ENCRYPTED]

[ichooseboth]

Hn. He's put Soundwave in charge. Soundwave is many things, but rarely stupid. He's going to try to hide Megatron away until they can cure him, I expect.

[LOCKED + ENCRYPTED]

[glassloyalist]

Doubtless he will. It's what I would do, were I in this situation.

But.

There will be a way to find him. And, again, depending on the way the virus affects him, he may be prone to getting out.

[glassloyalist]

... interesting. A chance to see what I have heard firsthand.

[not_your_gun]

Yes, Starscream.

Know that there are other threats than me.

[He laughs, crazily, which really fades into more of a whimper.]

Who will take advantage of this, I...think.

[glassloyalist]

Oh, it is well noted.

...

And...

...

Well, I...

nevermind.

[not_your_gun]

What a beautiful war we have here, isn't it?

So different.

So similar...

This isn't how it was supposed to go.

I don't think I want you to see me...like...this.

[governorkang]

Well, isn't this amusing.

[Video]

[not_your_gun]

[Growl]

Take amusement while you can.

I intend to remember every insult...

As...it...comes.

[Video]

[governorkang]

Don't even pretend that you wouldn't do the same if our situations were reversed.

[Video]

[not_your_gun]

Of course I would.

But I'll still pay each...

Debt? ...but you're right. It is what I would have done...I think...

[calledthemedic]

[Ratchet just grins into the communicator.]

I had wanted you to somehow pay for the trouble you caused. It seems a mech capable of doing something about it managed quite well. I would applaud them, though I hope I don't ever discover who they were.

[not_your_gun]

This will stop nothing!

My inconvenience will be mine, alone...

I will...stay out of the way until....then.

[calledthemedic]

Funny, Megatron. I should think you know exactly how this changes everything. For you, at least.

[Have a rather happy medic]

And even if you spend the entirety of this virus hidden away, it's enough.

Silence: Suggested.

[SO TOTALLY locked.]

[no_glitter_plz]

My lord -

[Glit's face right now: O_O]

[SO TOTALLY locked.]

[not_your_gun]

Its yours, take it, and don't give it back until I'm well.

I know you can manage the floor, and Skywarp can handle the accounting...

[He's not even looking at the video anymore.]

You are...both...very capable...

Re: [SO TOTALLY locked.]

[no_glitter_plz]

...Yes, lord. Thank you.

[Automatic bow, because a large part of Glit's processor is just refusing to comprehend this.]

[SO TOTALLY locked.]

[not_your_gun]

G...Glit...

Thank you...
