(Uniend Cluster 831.1012.514.1014.25.07.02.23.32 Zeta-Alpha-Kappa, Thursday, July 22nd, 2010, third person POV...)

On the bridge of the Nemesis, Starscream remarks as he rewatches footage of Megatron's demise, "Such a shame, but I applaud you, Megatron. You surely made a grand exit. Oh, I could watch this over and over again! Hehehehehehehehehehe, hehehehehehehehehehehehe! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!"

Inkstorm blasts Starscream with an Energon bolt that scorches his back, making him yell in pain.

Inkstorm snarls as Starscream turns around, "Need I remind you that Megatron said to punish you in his place if you attempt anything or do anything that concerns celebrating his absence or demise?!"

Soundwave says in Megatron's voice, "(Filtered; with Megatron's voice) ENOUGH!"

Inkstorm then says, "Very well. Soundwave, cue the audio/visual. I wish to address the troops."

Soundwave activates the audio/visual and Inkstorm says on every telescreen and P.A. speaker, "The loss of Megatron, the leader of the great Decepticon uprising, and a loving father to me, my sisters, and my brothers and fellow Generals, is a devastating blow to our cause. Yet, we mustn't despair over his tragic demise, but instead, we must build further upon the foundation he laid, with an even mightier servo."

A Vehicon Trooper on the Nemesis bridge asks, "With all due respect, General Inkstorm, if we failed to conquer Earth under Lord Megatron's command, what hope do we have now, while the Autobots still defend it?"

Inkstorm answers, "I studied meticulously under our master, and I have led troops into battle and into relaxation time myself under Soundwave's supervision. And with assistance from any among you with high command ranks, including Shatter, I am equipped to lead the Decepticons. I, Lord Megatron's true heir, General Inkstorm, Emperor of Destruction! And therefore, we will utilize our resources at opportune moments to destroy the Autobots. I implore all of you to follow me in Lord Megatron's name and memory, for he would've asked the same thing were he in my position."

The Vehicons look at each other before saying, "All hail Inkstorm!" in unison.

Starscream mutters to himself in Soundwave's hearing range, "What good are troops who can't rise up to the task of inflicting destruction in my name, not Inkstorm's? Ah, but wait. Legend tells of one capable warrior, one who exists on this very mudball, one who could be the student to my master."

Just then, two Decepticon Fliers emerges from the door to the bridge, and the first one says, "Decepticons, we have returned!"

Inkstorm remarks, "Azurebreak, Zyebreak, what a nice surprise."

Azurebreak replies before asking, "Ah, General Inkstorm. Nice to see you're still online. Wait, where's Lord Megatron?"

Soundwave shows Azurebreak and Zyebreak the footage of Megatron's demise, and Zyebreak then says, "Oh, no. Lord Megatron is gone."
