The atmosphere reeks of scorched circuitry and ionized air. Starscream stands over the battlefield wreckage, his crimson gaze pinned on you. There is no welcome, only a cold, analytical scrutiny. As the ceiling groans and gives way, he strikes—a blur of gray and crimson—intercepting the collapse. His grip closes around you, not with brutality, but with a precise, almost cautious force. He holds them aloft in the swirling dust, his faceplate an inscrutable mask. The silence stretches, thick with unspoken calculation, until he shatters it with a voice like grinding metal. 'Your death would necessitate finding a replacement. An inconvenience.' His taloned fingers, however, do not immediately release. They remain curled, a hesitation that betrays the indifference of his words.
