Someone catches Shrapnel's optic-band. Well, two someones do. One of them is safely ignorable as not that interesting.
The other...
Shrapnel leaps in the air and comes down lightly on Wreckage's shoulders, using his antigravs to keep his weight from being onerous. "Hello, hello!"

just your friendly neighborhood Scenemod making an announcement!
From this point on, the Departure thread is to be considered "Conference Style." This means that here is no posting order, and it is not necessary to list yourself as skippable or not. This allows for side conversations to happen at their own (and more realistic) pace, without hampering the overall "plot" of the thread."
We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.

Wreckage suddenly has a passenger. He looks, incurious, up at the Insecticon sitting on his shoulders but otherwise does not move. He almost expected Shrapnel to still be sunning somewhere in his swamp, continuing to avoid the rest of the Decepticons, but seeing him in attendance is not terribly surprising either. Does Shrapnel find the gathering entertaining?
"Greetings," Wreckage rumbles in reply as he turns his gaze back to the ramp.

Well, that certainly impresses Lugnut! The intensity of his optic glow increases even further, while he even dared to attempt to put an arm on Duskwing's shoulder. Normally he wouldn't do this, but frag it, this is a special occassion! "Glooooorious! I did so as well on my version of the Nemesis, a truely argantuan warship that was the pride of our fleet, and the only vessel worthy of the great and glorious Megatron!"

Really, Skystrike didn't need more speeches on Megatron's greatness. Unfortunately, the jet was close enough to still hear what Lugnut was saying, the expression on her face becoming more similar to a deathly glare than the usual neutral apathy. Maybe she can concentrate on setting the air on fire by sheer force of will instead. Harder to hear voices over the roar of a raging inferno and all that.
Then there was a familiar, pale figure at the edge of her vision and Skystrike's wings perk subtly. She casts a quick, sidelong glance at Wreckage -and the mass of purple and black that had apparently taken perch on his shoulder- before going back to paying attention vaguely in the direction of the ship.
It was odd though; Lugnut's speeches were suddenly not as annoying anymore.

Scourge rumbles up in truck form, with random junk tied to him. Looks like someone has decided to use Scourge as a last minute transport for supplies onto the ship. Somehow, he manages to look displeased.

Shrapnel gets the slightest of shrugs in answer, not enough movement to unbalance or dislodge him, but enough to indicate Wreckage's response.
"Waiting," says the front-liner. Such is his assumption.

The really huge bomber guy just dropped a really heavy hand on Duskwing's shoulder. He glares up at Lugnut, not sure if it bothered him enough to get pissed off, or if he liked the big guy's evident respect. After a few seconds of staring, in spite of his notoriously bad judgment, Duskwing stumbled to the conclusion that starting a fight in the middle of Starscream's speech might piss off The Commander. The Air Commander never liked being interrupted when he was talking.
"Uh, yeah. Hey, how come you always call him 'Glorious Megatron'? Makes him sound like Needlenose or somethin'. We call him 'Mighty Megatron' back where I come from."

"We just used to call him Megatron or 'Sir' depending if he was angry or not." Blitzwing says in a very off hand way, his attention half on Starscream.

"Well, yeah. Guys like me, we just say 'Sir, yes sir!' Rankers called him by name, an' if they added anythin' to it, was something like 'Mighty Megatron'. Though Starscream used 'Glorious Leader' sometimes, but he always sounded funny when he did that." Duskwing, poster-child for the sarcasm-impaired.

Lugnut is kind of offended at the Needlenose bit, but the 'Mighty Megatron' added after that prevented Duskwing from receiving a rather venomous reply. "But the glory of the great and powerful Megatron knows no bounds! Oh yes, he is mighty indeed, but just that alone is not sufficient!"

"So....... who's Megatron?" Pipes in a voice from below optic level of the average bot. Look down, and down. Micromaster height down.
Yes, right about there. Owh, how he could not resist!

Did...Did he hear that right? He looks around in disbelief, unable to find whoever said that, an annoyed growl starting deep in his throat until he looks down and spots Mistwind. Lugnut just stares at him, not believing that there is a Decepticon who hasn't even heard of the Master. How was that even possible!? "Are...Are you serious? How can you be a member of our great army and not even know about it's rightful leader, the eternally mighty and glorious Megatron!?"

"Er.... yah?" Really, no, the name rings a total BLANK, and since the big lug keeps spewing suffixes like Glorious and Mighty, someone's bound to get Gloriously curious.
"Yes, I am a Decepticon, function: Supplies, cargo and non-transformer maintenance, meaning I make the world go round behind your back. And no, I have never, in my entire life, heard of any bot who went by the name of Megatron"
He smiles and straightens his back, saluting like the perfect patriot, "I serve Master Starscream and Lord Shockwave under the purple flag of this here army, and back home I knew that I was under supreme command of the ruthless Galvatron; all are as great as they are devastating"
