Despite what he'd said, Sentinel arrived about two minutes after Optimus. Boy, it sure is inconvenient missing a major organ!

As per usual, he doesn't say anything on arrival. He probably used up most of his words of the day in the video call. Instead, he just takes a place next to Optimus with an uncharacteristic and slightly creey grin plastered across his features.

Don't make him say it, bro. Don't do it.

"Sentinel. I want to know one thing about you. And I want you to answer honestly. Because you owe me that as one of your successors."

...A pause.

"Did you really want what was best for the people? Were you misguided?"

Because if not, he wants to hear it straight from Sentinel's mouth. RETRIBUTION TIME.

"I did what I thought was best at the time." he says simply, not feeling the need to elaborate.

For me is the part he leaves out.

"You can't be faulted for an ideal."

Actually you can, but he's trying to be supportive here. Look at him go, saying 'it might not have been completely your fault.'

"Thank you, for sharing that with me."

[staygoldponybot]

That... sounds fake, but okay. Sentinel will accept it on the grounds that it does not involve ruining more of his organs.

With nothing more to say, and running dangerously close to his allocated daily word limit, Sentinel just shrugs lightly. Of course he shared it, he was not aware he had a choice. This is another concern he decides to neglect vocalising.

Silence falls over the two, Optimus now finding the crater they were at the edge of to be the most interesting thing to look at now.

"I think we can conclude this session. I'll look forward to or next one."


Sort of....

[staygoldponybot]

Euuugh. UUUUGH.

"Of course. I will try to have some substantial results for you."
