[ You'd be forgiven for thinking that this world had sent Starscream away, considering he hasn't been present in Anchor for a good while. Not down in the public park, not in the vehicle bays, not even poking around engineering. No word of a departure, no expected return.

[ Starscream doesn't exactly understand the turn of phrase regarding pants but he gets the general gist of the remark. ]

Once I assemble the equipment needed, come with those who've agreed to help. The work is tedious, not difficult.

Got it. See ya there.

[And he'll be there, because there's no sense abandoning his new partner in crime without getting something out of it first.]
