Hi I'm Windblade!

yeah. hah.

funny how it happened.

so i experienced my first assassination attempt, right? and well. skywarp was already all over the place, trying to spend time with me and TC, and.

okay. i got lonely. i missed them. nothing was working out, windblade. the people hated me. bumblebee left me. and after nearly dying… after mechs cheered for it? i stepped down. i packed everything up, and left.

i’ve been just. here, most of the time.

Oh Sweet Solus Prime..I’m sorry to hear that Starscream..who’s in charge now?

as far as i’m aware, there’s a provisional government in place, at least until they can hold an election.

I see..so, how long have you been held up in here?

a few weeks, i think. i just needed space to breathe, and to be surrounded by people who care.

fair enough..so, where’s the other seekers?

yeah. hah.

oh, yes. certainly.

[he leads the way, over to the space bridge.]

*She follows him onto the space bridge*

[he inputs the coordinates, a large, yet seemingly abandoned military base on earth. with a flash of light, they step out onto the ground in front of the base.

starscream knocks before entering.]

i’m home! i’ve brought a visitor. thais?

Thais? *she looks at Screamer* who’s that?

*Windblade then looks inside the building*

thais is my sparkling. she’s… a little shy. it might take her a little time to come out. come on in.

this is… kind of where i’ve been living. well. i moved in.

ah. frag. you don’t know, do you?

Awe, she’s cu-wait..

Did you just say that you’re living here? What happened to you being the ruler of Cybertron?

oh, yes. certainly.

it is, but you can bridge yourself over there fairly easily. the commune between here and there is fairly open.

I see..

Are you alright Starscream? You seem more friendlier and open than usual..what happened?

Am I still in stasis and now I’m dreaming what I’d like you to act?!

i…. decided i could afford to be less prickly.

i’m. trying to be a better person, i guess.

*Windblade smiles softly* heh, I’m glad to hear that. So, shall we go meet your trine and Sparkling?

i adopted one. she needed a home, so i took her in. she’s a darling. you’ll adore her.

Heh, apologizes Starscream, just..I guess I never saw you as the adopting type, considering you can’t trust your own shadow at times

you’re a real comedian. har har.

i’ve always loved spending time with sparklings.

it was time to try and settle down anyways.

so what about you? what were you up to?

I’ve been..better, we’ll say

a few earth months ago, I found myself locked in a dual with a rogue caminen. She almost bested me, had I not shorted out a temporal bubble, causing her to uh..explode and I slipped into a long stasis..and then I came to and I flew back here

good thing it was only that, i worried you’d gone off and died.

have you seen a medic about that?

Well..I don’t know where’s Wheeljack and I don’t know any other medics..heh

wheeljack.. hasn’t been well. there’s a number of medics on the lost light who could help you, you’d like nickel, i think.

Isn’t the lost light you know, still doin there epic quest of Kights of Cybertron and such?

windblade! how’ve you been, are you alright–

[he stops himself, not wanting to look like he’d missed her TOO much.]

yeah. i missed you.

Well uh..*she thinks for a moment and playfully gives him a light slug to the arm* missed you too

[his wings almost flutter– okay. they do.]

you’ve got to meet my trine and my sparkling. they’ll love you.

Oh, that sound fu-

*she stops for a moment to compose herself*

wait..when’d you get a sparkling?

Cybertron! Tarn, to be specific.

I..huh, I guess you’re really not our Breakdown, but forgive me, you do look awfully similar *she says as she whips up a holographic pic of the other bot*
