Can't help you there. I'm done for night. May (may) be able to sneak on tomorrow

Multiverse Rising (Always in need of New Friends)

A shitty post has suddenly appeared! My word!

Multiverse Rising (Always in need of New Friends)

Starscream:

"What we offer you is simple. The identity of the Alliance's leader. Added to that partial specifics on certain members of their elite section. A section that far exceeds anything you may amass here. Unless of course, you anticipate it correctly."

Well, the little wretch certainly wasn't lying when he said his information would be interesting. A 'true' leader, glimpse at the largest obstacle to Starscream's rise to power. The first step to victory, would be to know who he had to fight, and this new organization was giving it away to him for practically free. Either these whelps were even more stupid than he thought they were, or it was too good to be true.

"If you are interested in knowing these core facts, you may follow me to the Banquet opened by the woman who assaulted your colleague. Eto."

There it was. The catch he was looking for. He would need to go to his enemies stronghold to get this information. Surrounded by foes who could possibly overpower him, it would be a risk should things break down. However, something was telling him that this offer was a very big deal. He was definitely thinking that the benefit outweighed the risk. He would be allowed to plan ahead for his coup, rather than wait for an opportunity to present itself. To become proactive instead of reactive.

"Consider the fact that you haven't been terminated yet proof that we seek what added value you may provide us thanks to this information. You may bring a Terminal for an escape if you feel the need. However. Anything Eto, Muffet or myself deem suspicious and we'll make due without you."

Well at least they provided the option for his escape. Not that it would likely be enough. If they would allow him into their den, they likely would have measures ready to take him down if need be.

"Very well, I will attend this banquet of yours. However, I will wish to be accompanied by a pair of guards." He gestured to two seekers, Thundercracker and Skywarp, his two oldest allies "I doubt you should have a problem with this."

After all, they were only two soldiers. Not enough to fend off an entire army, but enough to cover him should retreat be needed. Despite his long ties with the two he selected, he wouldn't hesitate to throw them to the wolves to save his own skin. While he would regret the loss of two trustable subordinates, he could always find more to replace them.

well because I have a feeling that some kind of major bomb is being revealed up ahead, I'm assuming y'all want me to post Starscream tonight again? I'll see if I can get Shockwave too

Last post involving Starscream

Tatara

Cybertron - Starscream's quarters

@Mtntopview

---

On his guard and appearing a little trigger happy, Starscream was indeed what Tatara expected through what Keith may have observed but also from how he attacked Cyano during the first Cybertron raid. His voice also made the stereotype of a backstabbing coward all the more amusing to the stoic Tatara. The male ghoul took a few steps forward, feeling rather confident that they wouldn't assault him before he'd make a response. It took a few seconds of a silent, cold stare before Tatara would answer.

"You are a member of the Alliance of Conquerors, but also en route to getting rid of their leadership. You have the army, you have the position. All you lack, Starscream, is information. Intelligence."

At least it was clear the ghoul wasn't offering a position to the Decepticon, and for good reason. It would be counter productive to bring such a traitorous within their ranks. Actually, it would be more productive to just kill him and usurp everything. Considering what Eto did to Ultron, it didn't seem like the Outliners were too worried about provoking the Conquerors some more. Nonetheless, Starscream presented something of value however, and despite his apparent ignorance of reality, he didn't seem all that stupid either. Actually pretty witty to have reached this point in the hierarchy. Tatara could empathize with such a self-built individual.

"The Alliance of Conquerors hold an advantage that they'll easily use against you if you were to truly ascend to the position you deem to be righteously yours. Knowing this advantage may very well secure your ever lasting reign within this Universe. We firmly believe that matters within your Universe should not be interfered with."

Tatara buttered up the Decepticon, using Starscream's evident greed to have him pay attention a bit to what would be said.

"Are you interested in hearing what this table-turning intelligence is exactly? Or are you confident that your, to say it lightly, crippled forces would match their conglomerate of monstrosities?"

He kept the proposal vague, but only to make sure Starscream wasn't suddenly going to explode into some belligerent idiot. Tatara didn't want to engage into a war against the Cybertronians, especially when it would yield little to no results.

"You are a member of the Alliance of Conquerors, but also en route to getting rid of their leadership. You have the army, you have the position. All you lack, Starscream, is information. Intelligence."

Starscream kept a neutral expression as the being started it's spiel. It spoke the truth to some degree. While he had a good idea what he was up against, he didn't know the full extent of the conquerors strength. Intelligence was always something worth collecting, but there was always a cost to such thing. There was no such thing as a free Energon deposit.

"The Alliance of Conquerors hold an advantage that they'll easily use against you if you were to truly ascend to the position you deem to be righteously yours. Knowing this advantage may very well secure your ever lasting reign within this Universe. We firmly believe that matters within your Universe should not be interfered with."

The words certainly were pushing all the right buttons for him. Despite it being obvious pandering, Starscream couldn't help but enjoy praise being heaped upon him. He deserved all the glory that was due him! Of course, the news that this second faction wished to leave his own world alone was likely false. Even if they had no interest in Cybertron, it would be better to assume they did and prepare for it. He would let the bug continue it's little monologue, seeing as how it was giving away free intelligence.

"Are you interested in hearing what this table-turning intelligence is exactly? Or are you confident that your, to say it lightly, crippled forces would match their conglomerate of monstrosities?"

He narrowed his optics at the implications that his forces were weak. The Decepticon forces were the strongest force in existence, and under his leadership they would be unstoppable! But he would entertain this little intruder, at least until it finished it's tale. Perhaps it could give him an edge over his superiors. He always did prefer having an advantage over his foe before he faced them on the field of battle.

"Very well, what is this 'table-turning' intelligence you speak of? For your sake, I hope it is profound as you make it out to be."
