Overlord considers what he really, really wants, and he feels a pit form in the bottom of his fuel tank. He wants Megatron to have given a damn about him. He wants to have been the nightmare that woke Megatron in his sleep. He wants to have taken a piece of Megatron's mind, the way that Megatron took a piece of his.
Screwdriver can't give him what he really wants, and for a brief moment, abject misery creases his sculpted face. It vanishes as swiftly as it came. Overlord snaps his fingers and directs, "Five things." He holds out his hand and counts off. "I want access to all the medical files on this ship." That ought to be easy enough for her to do. "I want copies of any research and findings on those rocks. When Swindle sets up a fighting ring, I want to watch you compete. I want whatever information you can gather on the holo-Shockwave that appears now and then. And just one last thing... should a Megatron ever arrive here, tell him that he's dead. For me."
That'll do to set some plans into motion. Some of the requests are nothing more than passing idle fancies, but some are long-reaching and may bear fruit someday.

Screwdriver listens intently as Overlord lists the tasks. Five? Three would be better. Or Seven. But five is all right, she supposed. She gives a very slight nod after each one, then finally declares, "'I trust you so entirely,' cried the king, 'that I will do everything you command!'" 1Then she kneels and gently scoops up the smashed remains of the little bird she had thrown at Overlord earlier, turns, and skips off, leaving Overlord with her arm. 1 The Yellow Dwarf from The Fairy Tales of Madame D'AulnoyOOC: Thread end?
