A cool, professional voice greets Starscream over the radio, //Greetings, commander. I am Scourge. You wished to speak to me?//

How come for every cool professional Decepticon there was at least two that needed to try a new medication?
//Indeed I did, Scourge. I understand you have an issue with Sky-Byte, who is from your reality. I was hoping you could elaborate that for me. Are you another Predacon, like he is? //

The cool, professional Decepticons are hoarding all the Valium.
No video input from Starscream. Sad! These people have such lame radios.
//We are all Predacons, in my universe, sir. I am the leader of the Decepticons, a six-man subgroup. Sky-Byte is a ranking officier, and finding myself in an unfamiliar situation, I naturally contacted him. He claimed...//
There is a pause as Scourge consults his databanks for the exact wording. One may wish to imagine Scourge doing the air quotes, if one wants.
//..."Our forces are a mix of Decepticons and Predacons. motley bunch if you ask me. As for who's in command? Who do you think? I am of course! Though there's a rather vindictive fellow in second, don't mind him, he'll skewer you in a heartbeat."//
//I found his story somewhat fishy and kept a low profile, listening to the main channel. Dead End spouted off a scenario entirely different than the one that Sky-Byte suggested. I ran into an Insecticon in the swamp, who told me that the directions to base that Sky-Byte gave me were wrong, and he provided me with the correct directions.//
Now anger, bright as a sword hot out of the forge, suffuses his voice.
//So I am here, and I am none too pleased that the one Predacon from my home dimension lied to and misled me, when a random Insecticon in a swamp was more helpful and forthcoming. Surely you understand, sir?//

//Oh, absolutely, Scourge. I will bring you to him myself. However, there is one task I need you to perform. Dead End is in need of discipline. A simple blast to an arm will do. Something that will hurt but nothing that self-repair systems can't handle on their own. //
Starscream then transmitted directions to find him where he was, at the plinth near Needlenose. //Once that small matter has been taken care of, come and meet me.//

So why is it that Scourge doubts?
His answer is smooth, //Of course, sir. I have had to address discipline issues with my own men. How has he erred?//
Despite the confidence of his answer, he's not entirely sure he wants to shoot Dead End. Scourge somehow thinks that Dead End will be less eager to wax him - and follow him, more importantly - if he does. Ah, well. Scourge is a clever truck. He'll figure it out.

//Failure to grasp at what is and is not suitable priorities.// Consider yourself lucky that you're even getting that, Scourge.

//...Scourge, I fear I will not be able to meet you until an internal matter has taken care of itself. I will transmit you the rough co-ordinates of Sky-Byte, however.// And Starscream did just that.

//Dead End had been dealt with,// Scourge reports. //Thank you, sir.//
He will take that as tacit approval to go to town. Starscream surely can't be missing out on what Scourge has all but said he'd like to do.
