[to Starscream's credit, he is not going into straight up yelling (yet). however, his voice is tense, as if he's trying his hardest not to yell at the device.]

I just have one small question that our captors forgot to tell me during that brief little question and answer session I received after being rudely kidnapped and taken away from my operations...why am I suddenly an ORGANIC?!

[yeah nope, that last part was total yelling. a for effort, Starscream. there's a worn-out siiiiigh, as if being Starscream is suffering.]

As if being told to be a 'hero' wasn't ridiculous enough, that accursed machine has the gall to turn me into a human! [siiiiigh. and then, almost under his breath,] This is utterly demeaning.

I do like how you take "hero" as an insult.

[harryingjet]

Well considering that I'm hardly a hero to you humans, of course I'd take it as an insult!

[slightlyoffchilt]

Oh. You're more interested in the hero worship implication. Without that, it's just a tawdry word, right?

[harryingjet]

I'm less interested in hero worship from humans. After all, I've done nothing to earn your praise.

[it's not exactly modest, but it's more the truth: helping to destroy half of Detroit would DEFINITELY not earn people's praises. the fact that Starscream's chuckling to himself like he just told a funny joke that only he understood definitely adds another layer of 'gdi, robot.']

[ Peej frowns into the feed, costume on and all. No ID printed -- she should get a second communicator, seriously. ]

I think you answered your own question, buddy.

[harryingjet]

What I meant was, why did that machine turn me organic in the first place?! If it wants me to be a hero, I could easily be a better one with my proper body.

video

[boobwindow]

Accident? I'm not sure how it does that or why.

What exactly are you supposed to be?

video

[harryingjet]

I'm supposed to be a Decepticon! Instead I'm...well, this.

['this' being a man with dark purple hair and dull red eyes who is throwing a MASSIVE sulk.]

[databoner]

"Organic." Now that's a word I haven't heard used to describe humans before...

If not human, then what are you typically?

audio

[harryingjet]

Cybertronian, [said with a ridic amount of pride in his voice.] The name's Starscream.

audio

[databoner]

I've never heard of that before!

[Said, using his most flattering voice. Because he can tell what kind of individual you are already, Starscream.]

Please tell me what exactly is a Cybertronian?

audio

[harryingjet]

[GOOD CHOICE because Starscream is just utterly happy with this kind of flattery.]

Cybertronians are inorganic robot beings from the planet Cybertron. We're what you humans might call 'robots.'

[video]

[smarterthandad]

That's probably fixable.

[Says the small human child.

Yes, she'll build Starscream a robot body, because she has the worst judgment known to humanity. Partly it's 'cause she's three, but being Reed Richards' kid also plays a large role.]

voice

[harryingjet]

[Starscream does not know that much about humans but even he knows that the tiny ones generally don't know how to do things like make robot bodies. But, then again, he didn't know he could be turned organic so you learn something new every day.

Still, he's a LITTLE BIT WORRIED]

Probably fixable how?

ffff i meant [voice] but nbd she's obviously a kid from her voice

[smarterthandad]

Fixable as in "build you a new body to spec and transfer your consciousness."

[Easy peasy!

The fact that this proposal is being made in a chirrup-y child's voice should reassure precisely no one--the uninitiated because she's a toddler, and those in the know because Valeria Richards is a tiny little mastermind in the making and giving her the facilities to build giant transforming robots is a terrible idea.]

TIS OKAY

[harryingjet]

[Starscream is just still in ten stages of confused at the moment.]

How do I know you can even do something like that? You sound-- [like a protoform] --ah, younger than the human scientists I've encountered.

voice

[screenplays]

[ He sees that ID attached, and is, for once, taking preemptive action. ]

Leave me alone.

[ Thundercracker doesn't care if he sounds different than the Starscream he's used to, he needs to make the fact he doesn't want to get involved very very clear. ]

voice

[harryingjet]

What? [congratulations, you have successfully confused Starscream because Thundercracker in TF:A was only named in supplementary materials]

Why would I bother you in the first place?

voice

[screenplays]

[ alas, the burden of being less popular than a large chunk of the decepticons

But that's-- well he doesn't normally consider himself lucky on a regular basis. He could learn to start, if this is the way things are shaping up to be. ]

Doesn't matter. Just don't come near me.

voice

[paintjobs]

[ he sees that comm ID, and is... wary... totally not the voice of a starscream he knows. >:T ]

Oh, calm down, it's not like you're the only one.

voice

[harryingjet]

[he sees that comm ID and...has absolutely no clue who you are. WHOOPS.]

Don't tell me you were turned organic as well.

[paintjobs]

Unfortunately. And believe me when I tell you that the human digestive system leaves a lot to be desired.

video

[mercyisweakness]

Organic? Does that mean you were made of metal or stone?

voice;

[harryingjet]

[because somebody is a little self-conscious about his squishy organic body.]

Metal. I used to be Cybertronian, not...this.

[mercyisweakness]

[ Crematia remains her video for she knows no matter what form she takes; either as a dragon or as a human, she is still proud of what she is. ]

Can you not change back?
