When: Shortly after arrival
What: Starscream gets the Not As Much Of A Jerk As You Could Have Been award and helps Megatronus track down Orion Pax
Warnings: prewar babies being hella gay n/a

As shifty as this other mech had been, Megatronus was relieved -- but not quite getting his hopes up -- over the fact that he was supplying an aerial view, or that he had been willing to help him track down Orion in the first place. Unfortunately, a lack of an alt mode means that moving on foot is a bit... slower than he'd like. He tries to keep up with Starscream as best as he can, taking any shortcuts as he comes across them while still keeping an eye out for any sign of the data clerk.

Eventually, he pauses in a clearing and sighs before looking up, signaling to the jet. "Anything?"

Once Orion approaches and settles his hand on his shoulder, Megatronus begins to relax somewhat, lips curling in the vague beginnings of a smile. "Yes, it has. Although I hope you haven't been having as many... intense moments of identity confusion as I have had."

Given that he doesn't want to worry Orion with his tales about fighting a tank, he'll leave it at that for now.

For some reason, watching these two makes Starscream feel intensely lonely... but of course, he's too much of an self-unaware fuckstick about his own feelings enough to identify the emotion as such, so instead it just makes him feel vaguely angry and irritated. What he wouldn't do to find someone who was actually from the same point in time as himself.

...But, despite the vague ill-will that he wants to harbor, he also is no longer possesses the kind of active vitriol he would need to want to interfere or break things up. He heaves a quiet sight that ends in a slight growl, rolls his shoulders, and starts to walk off.

Megatronus looks away at the sight of something moving from his peripheral vision and pulls away slightly to call after Starscream. "Thank you for the help! I never got your name."

Kinda awkward to not get this guy's name when he went through the trouble of helping him find Orion and all that.

The seeker pauses and half turns back to him, weary and irritated. Part of him doesn't really want to provide his name, but.

"Errgh... It's Starscream," he says, and then pauses awkwardly for a too long moment, staring Megatronus down like he might have something else to say... then he transforms and takes off into the distance.

Megatronus watches after Starscream for a moment before turning back to Orion, utterly baffled. "Not sure what that was about," he says with a shrug. He doesn't dwell on it for too long, though, instead turning back to the issues at hand with a small frown. "I don't suppose you've found anything that helps explain what's going on here."
