In SPACE, Scourge is discontent. How is this in any way a change from Scourge on the ground?
It's not.
It just bears repeating. Duskwing is still his room-mate, but to judge by the accommodations, there will be at least a third in this room. Hook? Is a sadist. So Scourge busies himself putting up his typical. "All room-mates will be duelled," sign.
OOC: Public thread, set some time after launch, but I would encourage skippability when the fight gets hot and heavy.

Motormaster doesn't really have anything by way of possessions, except for his halberd. So he wanders empty-handed towards his assigned shipboard quarters.
There's a big Transformer working on the door when he gets there. Motormaster tilts his head slightly, then leans against the wall to wait for the other mech to finish.

Scourge is a big Transformer who looks vaguely like Optimus Prime. This generally means something in most realities, but in the reality of that Decepticon over there, not only do looks mean nothing, but Optimus Prime is a washout kid.
He slowly draws his gaze over Motormaster. Hmm. Big black truck. Probably a long-nose with a trailer. The Motormaster he heard on the radio that verbally slapped Sky-Byte? Some random new person? Whoever it is, he's certainly waiting for Scourge to finish.
So Scourge does, and he asks, almost demanding, "Well?"

"That's my room," Motormaster says.
He's heard this one's voice before, hasn't he? Oh yeah, on the radio after he slapped down that idiot for thinking he couldn't give orders to people messing with his scientist. "Scourge."

Hook is a mortal manifestation of Devil Zarak.
Shoulder rising and bunching up, Scourge snaps, "It's my room." He admits, belatedly, "Though I did see a spot for a third."
He starts, "Can't you read the-" Wait. Motormaster's blind. Scourge shakes his head, frustrated. He asks, seeking confirmation, "Motormaster? I will affix the sign in Braille."
Scourge tromps back into the room, leaving the door open.

"Yeah, I'm Motormaster. What sign? And what's Braille?" Motormaster sounds more confused than worried, and he naturally tries to follow Scourge into the room.
A high-pitched chirping emanates from him as he does a quick high-detail scan of the room, working out which berth hasn't yet been claimed.

Scourge is Scourge. Motormaster clearly already understand that fact, and Scourge sees no point in wasting his words. He does, however, turn around from mucking around with the printer, and rubs the side of his face, asking softly, "Have you ever been to a planet called Earth?"
He feels a headache coming.

"Was on my way there when I wound up here."
Motormaster settles on the unclaimed berth and pokes at it experimentarily. Wow, it's actually big enough that his feet or head won't dangle off one end when he recharges. He thinks he could get to like this place.

The berths in this room were probably sized to Scourge, given that he would put a hole through the hull of the spaceship if there wasn't room for his height and width.
Scourge's shoulders sag. "Ah. Braille is a form of writing formed by raised bumps, so that it is read by running one's fingers over the bumps. If you read Braille, you'd know that this sign," he pulls up an indented sheet of metal and flips it over, so that the dents are now bumps, "says, 'All room-mates will be duelled.'"
He then stalks out of his room to affix it to the door.

For all that he's a Decepticon, Motormaster hasn't had to deal much with Decepticon machismo. Mostly because on his team, he's the biggest and the baddest, and he doesn't give a turborat's hind leg about machismo.
He sits up at the 'all roommates will be dueled' bit. "Why?"

Because Scourge is a misanthrope who really hates everyone and hopes (vainly) that they will leave him alone and not be his room-mate if he threatens to beat their heads in when they move in.
This does not work, he is finding out.
Scourge shrugs. "Because I want to know what you can do if we ever get attacked in our room. It's a good way to get know someone. I'll teach you Braille after."
So that Motormaster can then read said sign and verify what it says.

"... Riiiiiiiiiight."
Motormaster stands and pulls out his halberd. "Where do you want to do this?"
Nothing has yet to shake Motormaster's belief that all Decepticons, everywhere, are crazy.

Scourge is relatively sane, as Decepticons and Predacons go. Anger issues and daddy issues are pretty minor compared to, say, making chairs out of people.
He glances back over his shoulder and looks at the halberd. Hmm. Melee weapon. What else does he know about this guy? Blind, but not walking into walls. Has to have other senses. Turns into a big black truck. Potential for trailerbase? Hmm. Not in robot mode. Looks like he has trailer bits incorporated into his robot mode. Maybe as a truck, though.
Scourge replies, "Holo room. This way. Closest thing to wrecking up the place aside from wrecking up the place."

"Holograms and me don't work so well together." Because he's blind. However, Hook incorporated solid light hologram technology into the hologram.
Motormaster doesn't know that yet, however.
He follows Scourge anyway, because he might as well get this over with.

Scourge is relatively technologically savvy, so he pauses for a moment to consider the issue of a blind man and holograms. He scratches his helmet, behind his antennae, trying to remember what it is he's heard about the hologram room. "They're... solid light holograms?" Does this even make any sense at all? No. "We'll give it a go and see, uhm" awkward pause, "we'll find out how it pans out."
Scourge never had politically correct training.
As big as the ship is, Scourge is at the holo room swiftly enough.
