[And then she tries to describe the dream as best she can, and it's very clear that it is exactly the same dream that Megatron himself had with no obvious differences.]
[There's a pause after that as Slipstream considers that the spiky Megatron is apparently a lot stronger than her own. Common Decepticon belief is that you should always follow whoever is strongest, and that, apparently, isn't her own Megatron.
She's not sure what to make of this information. The longer her silence is, the more telling it is.]
He didn't kill me, [megatron snaps, suddenly a little over-defensive. he can tell what she's thinking, because that's something he drilled into his decepticons himself. follow him, because he is the strongest.] and whatever that idiot is doing isn't the problem, the problem is Unicron!
It won't happen again! [he growls, knowing that he has very little to stand on here. the simple fact it he isn't strong enough to stop that megatron or to protect his decepticons from him or unicron, even less now with his injuries. primus, he couldn't even kill antlers without going down with him-- maybe he should just reset his frame. get himself spat back out the bridge without skyguy had done to him.
ugh, no. that's stupid. even megatron knows that's stupid, though it's an idea worth testing! he'll note it down in his database and tag starscream in it. make some use of the unbearable shithead.] If many of us had the same prophecy, then the obvious take away from this is that I'm not going to be the only one fighting him, anyway.
Good, because if you think that other version of me would do anything other than feed you into Unicron's maw for his own amusement, then you're an idiot.
[he exvents heavily.]
Continue your medic training. Make sure Acid Storm is familiar with the ship systems. Cover all the bases you can.

What do you make of it?

But if he's real, does that mean Primus is real? Are the Primes real?
That's a lot to realize at once.

Ugh.
From me.

What can even be done against him if he beat you?

[She flounders, the thoughts still on her mind, but willing to shove this conversation forward.]
But I think stopping him might be easier than stopping a giant evil god.

[wait, that doesn't sound great.]
Not that I'd need the help, anyway!

Do you have any orders for me?
