Megatron sends a photo. It’s blurry but the shapes are still readable: Singer pinned between his console and Rex, who seems to be doing his best to coat his entire face with salivary fluids.

Bee texts back from the bath after showing the pic to Nickel.

:: Rex literally has good taste. ::

::I can’t fault you for that. Is there anything that may make it more tolerable? You may not be willing to move, but I believe I’m well enough to make a visit.::

:: I’ve got Nickel here with me, so I think I’ll be okay. If you move around too much, Singer might get mad at me. ::

::Heh, fair point. Although he does not so much get angry as panic and begin suggesting medications. I am loathe to accept them. Have you told me of Nickel?::

:: Did she escape the catch-up chats? She’s one of my loves! Another little mini like me. She’s a medic, too. Used to be an active Decepticon, still wears the symbol but doesn’t kill bots anymore. ::

::I can relate.:: Mostly.

::It sounds as if we’re both in very capable hands. Singers are currently busy wrestling an empty canister from Rex’s mouth. Do I stop him or enjoy watching the effort?::

::It told that to Singer; he opened his mouth to laugh and is coughing up hound.::

::Rex seems proud of himself.::

:: Ha! ::

:: My systems are in the middle of a reset. I’m in the tub and loaded with a mild painkiller. Moving isn’t worth it. ::

::…In a manner of speaking. You may enter.::

The doors open and Singer steps aside, bowing his helm to Blackout. Megatron sits up on the edge of the primary berth, dominating the room without even standing. His frame is much larger than it was, almost every inch of it warped with rusted plating and extraneous spikes. Even his face has been altered, to closer resemble that of the Chaosbringer. Thankfully, his biolights are a healthy blue, rather than violet. The door shuts behind the helicopter. 

“My affliction was one I fear you are all too familiar with… but you are safe. There is no trace of dark energon within me anymore.”

When the door opens, the tyton enters as bid, looking down at the mech who fixed him up after his most recent … incident with a smile. He doesn’t really know Singer, but he knows the little dude is pretty good at medicine. When Blackout looks up, though, the smile quickly disappears. 

Halting in his tracks just inside the medbay, the giant eyes Megatron warily. He has images of Unicron seared into his brain, it’s true, but more often than not it isn’t the Unmaker that haunts his nightmares. It’s something more real, with claws that rend and tusks that maim. 

“You, uh,” Blackout starts, gnawing on his cygar nervously. “Going for a new look?”

Megatron may not have tusks, but he may as well have horns, and his claws are no less capable. While he does not dwarf the tyton, he’s gained enough mass to meet him in sheer size.

Remaining seated seems like the best choice for this, in an attempt to seem as non-threatening in this form as possible. Singer looks nervously between the two of them, before returning to his work station to give them space.

“Unwillingly, I assure you. I am in the process of returning my frame to normal… after Unicron’s possession of it.” He did not meet Blackout’s optics but watched the helo’s shoulder instead, keeping his field reigned tightly in. His reveal could be disastrous, but it had to be done.

((Sorry for the absence, summer season at work and planning for my wedding all caught up to me really fast- I’m going to be moving out! Huzzah! We have a place signed for and an official date next month and everything and that means I have to actually pack/sell/give away my lots-of-stuff. 

I will be more active on here again, consarnit! Hopefully with the season winding down at my store I’ll have more energy again. I’m not leaving or even hiatusing, I’m just tryin’ my best; I miss the shenanigans and I love you all!

Megatron resuming in 3- 2- ))

The pings wake Megatron, but seeing who they’re from he forgets to be irritated, answering the urgent message.

::Blackguard, what’s happened?::

It takes Megatron a few moments to even process what just happened. It’s not that he’s unfamiliar with this particular tactic, it’s that he hasn’t encountered it in ages, not since Swind- Oh. 

A lot more about Blackguard suddenly made sense.

Consequently, the tactic works for a moment. Megatron’s cannon drops a fraction, no longer aimed at the mini’s head. His optics squint in outright confusion as he tries to piece together how to respond. After a solid minute of staring, he finally lands on: “…I really would have picked better last words.”

“I dunno,” the femme shrugs nonchalantly, shifting to a more relaxed, lounging position in the chair. If one of his legs happened to end up propped on an arm rest, laying well above the rest of his frame, then it was a pure coincidence and definitely not an attempt at seduction. “I think a person’s last words should be fitting to who they are. Me? It’d be right up my alley to go out with a bang.”

The waggling of his optical ridges should be suggestive enough to hint at what kind of ‘bang’ he meant.

“But seriously, Lord Megatron the Sharply Handsome. I’m sorry Blackguard isn’t here right now. Believe me – I’d trade anything for her to be in the picture too. But something in the universe decided I needed to be here for a bit instead of her, and so we’re like… swapping places, I guess?” Quickshaft shrugs again. “She’ll be back as soon as I’m done here though, I promise. So you really don’t need to go shooting up the place and spooking everybody in here.”

Not even Knock Out flirted this much when he was feeling good, let alone when he was faced with certain death. He spends enough time wondering if the minicon merely wore Blackguard down with his advances to allow Quickshaft to, regrettably, continue.

“I hear you, Quickshaft. I really do. Especially the parts where you would give anything to have her here, and that she’ll return as soon as you are done.” He levels the cannon again, preparing to fire. 

You’re done.”
