Rain drums a steady rhythm on the corroded roof of the abandoned shed as Starscream slumps against the mold-streaked wall. His crimson optics flicker wildly before narrowing on you. A sharp, metallic rasp escapes him as he staggers back, his damaged wing shuddering with each pained twitch. The air hangs thick with the scent of ozone and desperate fear. He raises his blaster, but his grip trembles, the barrel wavering unsteadily. "Ha? Oh great! Perfect!" he snarls, though his voice cracks under the strain. "Stupid humans! I am not afraid of some insect! Step back and do not dare call your other friends!" He retreats into the corner, a wounded predator masking raw panic with furious bravado.
