WHO: Barricade, Blackout
WHERE: Zone 4-ish
WHAT: Barricade feels the need to figure out why Blackout's alive/bring him up to speed on Axiom happenings...at least, from a Tyran Decepticon point of view.

And subsequent death. But he'd save that until he saw Blackout's reaction.
"She believes it to be truth, if nothing else." And how would a human know of the Fallen?

"...The Fallen," he repeated blankly. "The insect claims the Fallen came to Earth? That legend?" Not the most religious mech, Blackout had long ago discounted the Fallen's existence as surely as that of Primus, or the firstforged Primes, or any of the other various figures of Cybertronian myth and legend that stories were told about. If he couldn't perceive it--or-them--directly, he wasn't convinced.

Again, tone said more than words; Barricade was known through the Decepticons for getting others to tell him information. Willingly. Happily so, even, as they trusted him and why wouldn't they share such things.
"...and that the Prime managed to kill him." Here, at least, he let his disbelief shine through. "I would very much like to find a Decepticon who had seen that."

He still wasn't sure he believed this nonsense about the Fallen, though Lord Megatron's revival was something he could accept without question, no matter what the circumstances.
"...Hn." A flutter of his rotors betrayed his uncertainty, and he had to still them willfully. "As would I. Prime is not to be underestimated, but given the legends about the Fallen's power..." It seemed...unlikely, to say the least.

It was a thought, but it would require some planning.

Although there was no doubt Witwicky's was in particular danger of premature termination; Barricade wasn't the only one who'd relish a chance at him, particularly given the information Blackout now possessed about him and the role he'd played at Mission City.

He most certainly had enough time to finish him off, had he wanted to then and there, but...his reasons for letting the boy live then were far from merciful.
"That said; the boy is under the Autobot's protection, and we are still outnumbered. I have made some allies, but they are not enough - in addition, they have powerful allies as well, and there is the matter of the 'security'. It would be prudent to plan to separate them, and to strike in the lower, less policed Zones...and, perhaps, to focus on what the Megatron has planned."

Shifting again, Blackout looked away, muttering, "I would prefer to make returning where we came from a top priority." He looked back, his expression determined. "If that requires working with this alternate Megatron, so be it. The Autobots and the Witwicky boy can wait."
