[ The stars above Elita-One glimmer. The last truly beautiful thing left on Cybertron, and they're not even planetside.
She gazes up at them, their dim lights reflecting on her scuffed and scarred face plates.
She blinks. The stars do not reappear. ]
@decepticonSIC Right, right. And you’re all doing well?
[ Her optics pale at the thought of flying. She tries to hide her expression in her drink. ]
I forgot about that. Ugh.
Yes. Probably.
[ She points at him, accusatory. ]
If you’re offering, you’re not allowed to make fun of me.
@decepticonSIC [ She nervously taps the side of her cube, then takes a long drink of it. She stares down at it for a long moment, then speaks. ]
Megatron was stopped. He’s not dead, but he’ll be taken care of. I don’t think he’ll bother anyone again.

@decepticonSIC [ She finishes her drink. ]
How’s all that going? How is Optimus? And Skyfire?
[ She pours herself another, hoping to Primus the Matrix hasn’t buffed her engex tolerance. ]
@decepticonSIC Once we figure out what the hell is wrong with him, we can try that again.
[ She hums. ]
Wrong as in… whatever sort of mind control thing he has going on. What’s wrong with him is that he’s insane.

@decepticonSIC This sucks, Starscream. I thought I wanted this, but I was an idiot.
[ Elita shakes her head. ]
I never got as far as planning what I’d do when the war was after, after I took over Optimus’s role. Did you?
@decepticonSIC Why?
[ Elita has a genuine tone in her voice, not judgmental whatsoever. ]
Why were you so determined to lead the Decepticons?
I have a point, I think.
[ She shrugs, gesturing at her drink before sipping it. ]
@decepticonSIC [ Elita’s quiet for a moment. ]
Odd question.
What would you have done if you had successfully killed Megatron and taken over the Decepticons?
@decepticonSIC Thanks.
[ She looks down at the new glass of engex. ]
It was weird. His plating turned white, started to burst, then scattered into millions of pieces.
[ She shutters her optics and takes a drink. ]
No body. And I don’t think this was the same Matrix as his. So… gone.

If you know anything about where Optimus could’ve gone, I’d hope you bring that information to me: his partner and conjunx. Not a gossip magazine prone to exaggeration and sensationalist wording.
It’s been quite some time since I embarked on any sort of “warpath”.
