[Her voice is distraught and defeated, and she doesn't look that great in the video.]
Megatron... Starscream is here.
I'm sorry. I promised I wouldn't take him on my own but...

He beat me.
[She hangs her head in shame.]
[She hangs her head in shame.]
All I saw was his two little monstrous creations!
I'm sorry, Lord Megatron! He told me what he did to my Seekers and I immediately started punching his face in!
He got the upperhand immediately after that.

[Oh no, is he going to punish her in person?]
Yessir, I'm on my way.
Yessir, I'm on my way.
[megatron is standing with his hands behind his back and looking out a window when slipstream arrives. the atmosphere is thick and tense, as it usually is with a one on with with megatron. notably, he seems to have realised she thinks he is going to punish her, so his fusion cannon has been detached and sits on a table a few yards away.
he needs her trust for this. real trust, not the fake crap blind decepticon loyalty and terror instilled.
when he hears her arrive, megatron turns his head.]
Despite all your recent - and frankly numerous - failures, I did not call you here for nefarious reasons. I'm going to give you a gift, Slipstream, but first I want to know: what made you lose every fight you fought aboard this ship?

[Slipstream stands at attention, her hands behind her back.]
I am weak sir. Compared to many of the bots on this ship, I am simply not as strong or as fast or as durable as they are.
I intend to change this.

As do I. [his frame lights up suddenly, a strange kind of power crackling across his body.] Powers of Cybertron, unite!
[that power crackling across his frame suddenly convenes and fires out at slipstream like a bolt of lightning. it looks like an attack on her, but the results of it hitting her frame will be anything but...]

[Slipstream gasps as the power washes over her, causing her to glow. She can feel her body changing and she can only watch in stupefied amazement as the light continues to cling to her.]
Megatron?? What is this?
I feel... different!

This is my gift to you. Powers I obtained during my travels through the multiverse.
[he watches her carefully, clearly interested in how she's being affected.]
It will make you permanently stronger and more durable. AllSpark willing you don't pick so many fights, at least you will no longer keep losing them.

Lord Megatron... I don't know what to say!
[Slipstream feels so much stronger! It's only with the minimal self control she has that she doesn't wheel around and go back out there to find her Starscream.]
This is-
[And then she transforms. Into a car.
Utterly confused, she freezes like a frightened animal.]
Wh...at?
[Her tires screech against the floor and she lurches forward, slamming front bumper first into a wall.]
What the-
[Her last word is a very loud and vulgar curse left up to everyone's imagination.]

[There are a few new and unfamiliar protocols in place now, and Slipstream actives one. In an instant, she transforms back to her more familiar jet mode, where she sighs with relief.
Transforming back to her robot mode, she stars at her own hands in amazement, though the light had faded by now.]
Thank you so much, Lord Megatron. I will not let this power go to waste.

Megatron, I've been looking for you everwhere.
You're not dead are you?
You're not dead are you?
Nothing really, I just wanted to check in on you.
I wanted to see if I could find you without calling, but I swear I couldn't find you anywhere.

Yes sir.
[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'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...]

Comrades, sir.
