[he's standing with his hands behind his back, looking out to the stars like there are deep contemplations of existence going through his mind, rather than him mentally stumbling over how to not insult her in the first two words he says.
she might notice the damage he had arrived with is back, the stuff ratchet had helped her fix. when he turns to look at her, that missing optic is practically a void on the side of his face.]
Slipstream. You've been making a lot of connections here, I understand.
[Slipstream IS surprised that Megatron looks like he's been reset. Weird. The way he stands there, staring out the window and probably contemplating the deep nature of the universe or something. Megatron is so wise and brilliant!]
Yes sir. I have made a lot of friends so far.
Would you rather I didn't? I can drop them all if you'd like.
[It would utterly shatter her spark to do so but if Lord Megatron says...]
And what did I say to you about Starscream, any version of Starscream? [his voice is low, optics narrowed as he gives her that same look he did when he'd told her not to fail with her new command position.]

I wanted to see if I could find you without calling, but I swear I couldn't find you anywhere.
Re: text
I don't really have a bridge here, do I?
I am currently on the observation deck. Join me.

[Slipstream is extremely confused on what Megatron wants to talk about, but she is on her way immediately.]
Megatron?
[She drove all the way to the Observation Lounge without crashing once in her car alt mode. She's quite proud of herself.]

[he scowls a little, looking at her directly.]
I cannot believe I'm saying this, but how many of them are Starscream?
no subject
Two. Sir.
They truly aren't that bad! They haven't betrayed me yet. And one of the Starscreams fought our Starscream on my behalf.

[Her posture tightens.]
That they will turn on me the moment it suits them.
no subject
So why are you still hanging around with them?
no subject
I will cease all contact with them immediately.
[It will make her feel BAD but if that's what Megatron wants.]
no subject
Do you care to tell me why you saw fit to disregard my advice?
no subject
But you are wiser and more knowledgeable than I, and I value your council above all others.
