"Hello, dear friend," said the senator, his little antennae wiggling in delight at the sight of Orion. He leant himself against the other mech, getting close and personal. "Would you like a drink with me?" (ask and you shall receive!)
Orion Pax at the time before the war, before everything, was a character. A kind and gentle bot, but very chaotic in nature that was for sure. Of course hearing his old friend, being Shockwave the senator, his own little antenna perked up and twitched slight, showing his interest. And his own face plate blushed a slight blue color, but he smiled and stuck out his glossa in a playful manner.
“Ohhh, I don’t know, who’s asking?~”
Orion asked with a soft engine purr, giggling slightly at the joke, but being asked by a senator was a big deal, not only that but he did really like the other. Shockwave helped him through a lot as it was, and you know, he could probably spare a minute or two.
“Hehe, I’m kidding!~ But I’d love to hang out and get a drink, if you’re offering.~”
The archivist said with a chuckle, in a way he probably needed this, he’s been working quite hard recently.
And honestly? A drink sounded great right about now.
An unregistered comm code… Ironhide wondered who it was.
Normally, Ironhide keeps some communication codes of people that are affiliated with the government or those he has only met once and never spoke again. And sometimes he’s lazy to register them all. But his drunken self will type his slurry words away anyway.
:: hey are you the math subject? cause idk much about yu but I’m so fraggin glad to learnnn tho ::
Megatron shifts, a little, regards Shockwave. "I'm... flattered." He rumbles, softly. "... Are you willing to offer patience? I... I am willing to admit, you are... Your presence is... soothing."
@loyal-logik 12. A happy memory | Becoming 2nd in Command | cropped it because it got long sorry,,,
Starscream had heard through his commlink that Megatron wanted to speak with him, and he's quick to head towards his leader's quarters. Slowly he enters, a bit of an uneasy look on his face.
"Sit." The silver mech orders, a servo outstretched towards the empty chair in front of him. Nodding, Starscream does so, before blurting out "...Look, whatever Skywarp did, I had absolutely no part to play in it, and If I did know how much of a mess he was going to make- which I did not- I would have stopped it immediately—"
"......what mess?" Megatron says, a tone mixed of confusion and suspicion.
".....Uh.. ya know what? It's not important." So that wasn't what this meeting was about.. Well..at least he had Thundercracker take care of that earlier. "...What did you call me in here for?"
Despite the conversation that had just happened, Megatron decides to go forward with his planned meeting. Perhaps he figures it was handled. Or perhaps he was just too tired to deal with whatever prank Skywarp, who was already making quite a reputation for himself, had done this time. "I have a proposal for you."
Ruby optics glance up towards his leader, helm tilting slightly in curiosity. Megatron continues. "Over the time you've been a part of the Deceptions, I have seen many promising things from you. You are very devoted to the cause, and have shown leadership skills on a number of occasions. That, along with some of your successful missions.." He states slowly. "Do I think you still have a lot of learning to do? Yes. But that goes for anyone."
"The Deceptions are growing, and they show no signs of stopping anytime soon. I cannot be the sole management for us anymore. I am offering you the position of Second in Command—"
"YES!" Starscream interrupts, hands firmly placed on the desk in front of him, looking like he could just jump out of his chair at any moment. "Oh, thank you Megatron!! You won't regret this!! Im very honored and I'm positive I'll be the BEST second in command!!" He shouts, speaking rapidly with excitement.
Megatron stares at the Seeker a moment before interrupting back. "OK.. While I admire your enthusiasm, I need you to recognize just how serious of a position this is before you accept it. This isn't just about leading the troops or coming up with plans and strategies." His expression seems to grow even more serious, a feat that Starscream didn't think was even possible. "This position would mean that, in the event something happens to me, you would be taking my place."
Starscream stares wide at the larger mech, before snickering. "Riiiight, fat chance of that. Youre the strongest mech I know."
"Strength alone only gets you so far. And with the things we are trying to do, in the world we are surviving in, it is a very real possibility."
A frown pulls its way onto the seeker's face. He didn't like thinking about that. And the thought of himself taking over (while exciting) was terrifying... ( How was he supposed to fill THAT role after Megatron?? ) But he was determined not to let him down. "I-... I understand. And I'm incredibly honored to get this opportunity."
As if he could read his mind, Megatron responds again, this time smiling- it didnt happen often, and it was more of a half grin than a full smile. "Relax, Screamer. I'm not planning on going offline any time soon." This warrants a smile in return from Star.
Jetfire and Jetstorm called down the hall, chasing after the head of intelligence to bring him something that, from their perspective at least, he had forgotten: a lone datapad. They rushed to bring it to him before he walked out of sight, and in their hurry, they didn't quite make the turn and slammed into each other at full speed, knocking each other to the floor. Jetfire managed to hold the datapad away from the collision between himself and his brother, keeping it safe from any potential harm, and the both of them collected themselves to bring the head of intelligence the datapad.
"You were forgetting this, Longarm Prime, sir!" Jetfire said, holding said datapad out to the head of intelligence.
"So bringing it back to you, Longarm Prime, sir!" Jetstorm chimed in enthusiastically. "Is important, isn't it?"
"We did not looking, promise!" Jetfire said truthfully.
