*3rd person pov*

Starscream : "I have been a fool, made mistakes, monumental ones. I now realize I was never destined to be a leader, or even an equal partner and- i have made my peace with that... I have gained a clear understanding of my place in this universe, of who I am... of who I was always meant to be. Starscream, second in command, humble servant to lord Megatron... Thank you for listening, Soundwave."

As Starscream said that Soundwave stood motionless in the desolate room Starscream had randomly decided to use in order to give his "confession" while Starscream turned to walk out and started heading towards the bridge.

*starscream pov*

As I strutted down the halls of the Nemesis alone, I eventually arrived at the bridge with my wings raised highly. As the doors opened with a hiss, however, I was met by the unfortunate sight of the retch Airachnid and Megatron talking about something as I entered which made my wings droop down.

Megatron : "Is this true!?"

Airachnid : "Starscream never mentioned it?"

Megatron : "if he's up to his old tricks, i shall grind him into powder."

Oh primus... normally Slipstream would have been here as well to help back me up in a situation like this, but Megatron had tasked her and a group of Vehicons with retrieving some energon from a new mine. Deciding to get on with it I cleared my throat to get their attention, I looked between the pair who upon noticing me both cast a glare at me. If looks could kill i would be dead five times over by now.

Megatron : Starscream."

Starscream : "lord Megatron, please excuse Airachnid's impertinence. Now... what was it that i allegedly failed to mention?"

Megatron : "the Harbinger."

Starscream : "*shocked gasp* u-uh, what about it?"

Airachnid : "eons ago a decepticon transport crash-landed on this planet."

Starscream : "oh please, Common knowledge! I scouted the crash site when we first arrived on earth."

As i said that Airachnid started walking towards me with an evil smirk growing on her face. I could practically feel the murderous intent coming off her, and for a moment I felt my talons twitch in anticipation for a fight. As i was about to say something, Megatron fully turned around to face both Airachnid and i which made my wings drop a bit before i continued.

Airachnid : "Then you recovered the experimental weapon prototype the harbinger had been transporting?"

Taking a set back at her question, Megatron glare hardened even more as I realized I had just walked into Arachnids trap...

Megatron : "Where is the crash site?"

Airachnid : "it was never logged into your ship's database."

Megatron : "you failed to record the location of a Decepticon transport?!"

Starscream : "ah- an oversight master. But I noted it's exact location."

Megatron : "Then you can lead Airachnid and Overload there. So that they may retrieve the prototype."

As Megatron said that both i and Airachnid looked at Megatron in shocked confusion. It felt good to see that wretch's smug face get wiped away, though it would have been better if I myself was not confused as well.
