The floors of the Empire State were pure chaos. Drone robots ran this way and that, paniced announcements went out over the loudspeakers. The security guards did an admirable job of trying to fend off the onslaught before they were summarily disarmed and disabled by the drones.
Nearer to the top floors, strange things were happening - long arms of strangely jointed alien metal had seemingly grown through the walls, and glowing purple crystals sprouted from the floor. Near these crystals, unshielded electronics went haywire, communication turned to static, and hair stood on end. The civilians avoided these like the plague. On the observation deck, twisting spiral staircases jut upwards and through the floor of the great machine above you...

Sentinel was rapidly realizing that this wasn't what he signed up for. He'd expected to use his rank and his badge to strongarm security into granting him access so Starscream and the others could set up the machine. Now he had natives fleeing in terror and he was stuck on a team with some megalomaniac proclaiming himself 'Master'. Starscream really needed to start hiring better help.
"Would you knock it off?" he complained. "We don't need them to obey anyone, we just need them out of our way."

Sentinel surveyed the degrading scene in dismay, then turned a baleful glare toward the Master, sorely tempted to knock him flat for his choice of words. He remembered Starscream telling him that he could arrest this moron and the rest of the criminals present when all was said and done. But something still didn't seem right about the whole thing.
Yes, he definitely needed to have a word with Starscream about choosing to work with the dregs of society.
"Starscream didn't tell me I'd have to work with idiots," he said scornfully. "I'm out of here."
And with that, he stormed off toward the stairwell, intent on giving Starscream a piece of his mind.
