User blog:Bzero/Starscream’s Request

Alpha Trion appears on-screen, in a recording made in Iacon’s Great Dome. In his soft, aged voice, he records the following:

“Tonight I received a most unusual request. Starscream visited us outside Iacon’s gates, and confirmed the rumors that Megatron has been killed, and by a resurrected Galvatron no less. Oddly enough, Starscream claims he has rebuilt Megatron, and wishes to use my access to Vector Sigma to bring Megatron back to life, alleging only Megatron’s power can stop Galvatron once more.

“I do not recommend we provide him assistance. A Decepticon army run by Starscream, opposing this Galvatron, is a more palatable alternative than bringing Megatron back to life. I avoided telling him ‘No’ to his face to ensure he didn’t simply take me captive and deprive me of the Key to Vector Sigma, which I must once again secure somewhere it cannot be found.

“Starscream is correct, however, in his claims that Galvatron, if he has truly returned, must be stopped. He offered to work together with Shockwave and Optimus Prime to bring Galvatron down, and Firestar suggested using our gestalts as well. A direct assault is likely to entail extensive casualties, so I suggest letting the Decepticons lead the attack since this is ultimately their problem.

“I will make myself available for further guidance, but of course the ultimate decision is up to Optimus Prime. Starscream expects a reply shortly, but I can delay him if necessary. ‘Til all are one!”

Trion ends the transmission.
