[aerospacecommander]

No.

[If only he were more fun to pick at. Starscream turns to leave the store, but stops briefly.]

One thing though -- if I don't listen to Megatron -- who, at least back home has a big ol' fusion cannon, what makes you think I'm actually going to listen to you?

[legalcy]

[He crosses his arms.]

I have no authority to force you to comply. You will make the decision to modify your own behavior.

[aerospacecommander]

What if I'm beyond the ability to change?

[legalcy]

[…]

I am not qualified to answer an undetermined future.

[He's not a psychologist. He can't tell if Starscream could be a better person or pretend to be one. He can't even tell if Megatron truly changed.]

[aerospacecommander]

That's the funny thing about the future, you never know what's gonna happen. Back home supposedly the world was going to end. And now here --

[He gestures with a bit of a shrug.]

The world has ended a couple times already.

[legalcy]

[He folds his arms behind his back.]

Then, we must seek to prevent the world from ending again. [A pointed look.] Meaning that we all must cooperate to find an alternate path.

[aerospacecommander]

You're really boring you know that?

[And he thought Optimus Prime was the highest someone could go as far as 'boring' went.]

[legalcy]

[Thanks for reminding him.]

...

Let us see to the events in Lavode.

[aerospacecommander]

And why would I do that?

[legalcy]

We are seeking to quell any issues around the world in order to find a way to stop Bahamut.

[aerospacecommander]

Do I look like a hero to you? You're the one with the do-gooder badge. You go save people.

[legalcy]

Now is not the time to take Cybertronian alliances into consideration. This world will not survive if we focus on our badges.

[aerospacecommander]

Let it burn. I don't even want to be here.

[legalcy]

[How does one argue the moral obligation or protecting other planets than your own ? How does one get to the point that one's own safety is not a factor?]

And of yourself? You have nothing important on Cybertron to protect?

[aerospacecommander]

No. I don't even care if Cybertron falls.

[Ultimately the planet itself didn't matter. They could always rebuild elsewhere.]

[legalcy]

Hm. I see that you would betray the entire race simply because you were dissatisfied.

[Starscream cares for no one, what a disappointing surprise.

...There is no reasoning with him, is there?]

I will speak with you after Bahamut is dealt with. Good day.

[aerospacecommander]

I never said anything about our race, I said Cybertron. A planet half left for dead by our people.

But whatever. Go off and save a bunch of people who probably won't care that you did anything for them to begin with.

[legalcy]

[Whether they care not not doesn't matter. Minimus will have done the right thing.

Without another word, he turns on his heel and walks briskly down the street.

He does pause to look back. Just to make sure Starscream isn't doing anything "amusing".]
