Your dramatics are beneath you.

[ Though this felt notable enough, expressing agony and the like.

In fact. ]

What hinders you? Speak.

Acknowledged.

Plenty of time for your dormant body to affect the surrounding area. The readings match your own energon signature.

[ Eyeing the beast further, a physical sample from him would work wonders. ]

How long have you been in this area? Were you dormant prior to this?

[ If his questions were to remain unanswered, he wouldn't hesitate to have them answered through force if necessary ]

Beyond the scope of your mind, but if you must know.

They've been enhanced by an energon source, near complete integration.

Organic cyberforming may be within reach.

[ Staring at the mech, reading near identical to the roots ]

[ Kneeling beside a tree, age unimpressive to the eon old Scientist, he'd wrench it from the floor.

Roots raised to his optic before they were severed from the remaining brilliance of the tree, cast aside. ]

Sufficient samples acquired.

As has yours, beast.

[ He had busy work to do, no time for observing creatures ]

Do you need something?

[ Do not let his blank demeanor distract you from the malice within that single optic.

Shockwave was a butcher, and his meat of choice bore sparks like he and the beast. ]

[ oh , a beast great ]

Now, do not do so again.

I don't intend on treating you like a pet, should you show further disobedience at the cost of cognitive improvement, I'll be liquidating this project for good.

Don't disappoint me.

Subject; 291

The latest batch of my reanimated deviants, a project long discarded.

Though the most conscious of your lackluster brethren, you are special, now. Back to your enclosure.

[ There's a mite of concern, though nothing to fret over. Still escapes are odd and notable. ]

Return to your enclosure.

Immediately.

[ The what!? ]

[ there's a disturbance in the force ]

[ The light within his optic shuttering as he began disengaging higher functions one after another.

Something he'd only resorted to in his fight against the Dinobots

Though before it, he'd effectively built a black put zone through his ship, cutting off any signals, space bridge or comms. ]

We haven't been on neutral terms for some time if we're being honest, Void.

In fact, the Audial was an assist of sorts, I'd needed an excuse to bring you out.

Because at the end of it all, you've done something only another beast could...set me off.

So

Congratulations

This will hurt.

Then please don't keep me waiting.

It will only serve to prolong this whole situation.

[ The claws adorning his arm were folded in, lining up his limb, presents the appearance of something merely meant to bolster him

Deterring fangs and such, though it was inevitably more ]

Perfection.

[ A land devoid of life, devoid of movement of change of happiness. Just a plot of scattered corpses and misery.

The perfect place to make Void pay. ]

[ @draconicnocturne.bsky.social ]

[ Tonights the night, it's going to happen again and again.

It has to happen. Nice night. ]

Void.

It's time.

Time to collect.

[ The designated destination of this meet? A Graveyard. A human graveyard. ]

[ Somewhere someone is being evil and mysterious ]

[ If nothing else, you'll keep your word.

Credibility is important because at the end of the day, he'd never requested you put them back on ]

It is.

[ The connection is quickly severed leaving a lingering sense of the predetermined location in his head ]

Perhaps

[ Arrive and I'll consider it ]
