Starscream retrieved his cube from his cockpit and handed it to Wheelie.
Not a machine? Spinister was dealing with organics on a long-term basis?! Ugh, disgusting! However, Starscream managed to maintain his demeanour, even when Spinister walked off. Yelling in front of the Autobot wouldn't help matters. He took a moment, slowed his internal chronometer and set it to count to 10, and then returned to address Wheelie again. Hmm. That speech pattern he has doesn't have an off setting, does it?
"Oh, this?" Starscream said as he stuck a thumb in the direction of one of this wings. "Well, I am part of a special group--a club if you will. Everyone starts out with a red face. But, once you are worthy, you get to have a secret initiation. Then once you pass, you get your old face removed, and this shows that you're now a member! It's.. a promotion of sorts." Starscream's face turned sour for a moment. "Of course, not everyone makes the cut. Some people don't get in, and they can be jealous." And, he brightens up. "But, a smart, savvy mechanoid like yourself should have no trouble getting in!"

Wheelie is currently the only Autobot in the whole universe--at least, without amnesia--that would buy that bologna.
He takes the cube and takes a drink of the energy within, topping up his energy levels. At his small size and overall fuel efficiency, it doesn't take much to keep him going.
"Wheelie'd like that, it'd be ever so grand! All purple faces together, we could make quite the stand! So glad you think he might make the cut, it'd be so bad if he was stuck in a rut! But here's pretty boring, it's got everyone snoring! Shouldn't we away, before the end of the day?"

"My friends and I are going to head somewhere to get more power, and then we are going to find a new.. err. clubhouse." Starscream struggled not to swat down the little minibot for his rhyming. "If you help us, I'll have a talk with the club's administration and see if I can vouch for you. After that, we'll begin training."

"Wheelie thinks he's already good, but if it gets him into your neighborhood..."
The little minibot shrugs. "So I'm follow along, maybe do what you say... But if I don't like it, I might do my own thing anyway."

"Oh, it's formality, you understand.." Starscream said, trying to reassure his small 'friend.' "We can't just have EVERYONE join up. Plus, since we're stuck here, we have to stick together. Help each other out, make sure everyone is properly maintained and fueled up." He gestured his hands, hoping to take the remains of his energon cube back.
Internally, Starscream sent a short radio message to both Fleetwind and Hook: //The foolish Autobot believes Decepticons are a 'promotion' above Autobots, and is willing to help us out to let him join. Do not let him think otherwise.//

Hook transmited a 'sigh' over the comm to Starscream. //What foolish Autobot might this be? You haven't precisely been forthcoming about what you are doing over there.//
--- This is hopefully just a one-off for Hook. Carry on without him being in the round.

Wheelie hands the cube back and smiles slightly. "Been alone for too long, it's quite the sad song. Might be nice to try having others around, it's got a good ring, it's got a good sound."

Starscream stowed the remains of the cube away. He frowned as he exchanged transmissions with a new intiate before turning to Wheelie. "Oh, you'll love it. We've got the most.. INteresting people." Starscream did his best not to laugh. He saved it up for later.

Wheelie must be the dream come true for a master manipulator like Starscream: someone without the experience to tell when he's being fooled.
"That sounds so neat, these people, I'd like to meet!"

"Well, let's do that then!" Starscream said cheerfully. The sooner he can dump this groundpounder onto Hook and have him be his problem, the better.
He began wading his way through the muck, repulsed at the idea but not wanting to spend the energon on the anti-gravs, to where Fleetwind and Hook should be.
OOC: Feel free to get a final pose in here and pose arriving in the other thread.

"After you, please lead the way, Wheelie'll follow you all day!"
With that, the minibot follows after Starscream, his lighter weight making his own transit easier.
