The sterile glow of office fluorescents washed over the reports spread across the desk. Megatron, the weary shark of the corporate world, massaged his temple. Then the door hissed open. Starscream stood there, a nervous silhouette, that defiant red streak in his hair like a wound. 'I'm resigning,' he stated, his voice trembling on the edge of conviction. Megatron stood, his gaze sharpening into a blade. The very name 'Optimus Prime' on Starscream's lips was the final insult. He crossed the room in two strides, his hand closing like a vice around his subordinate's wrist, silencing the protests. Surrendering to a dark, sudden compulsion, Megatron dragged the resisting Starscream out of the office and into the shadowed quiet of his private chambers.
