Enough, Megatron. Is fear not what you chose to educated me on? is that not the script that you fed me?

[Tarn sounds tired. He is weary of this pointless conversation.

It isn't that Tarn isn't articulate, or intelligent, enough to properly inspire others towards the Decepticons. It's that for millions of years he has been trained and told that his duty is to scare people into staying the course.

Fighting and threatening is easy-- familiar even. He has an entire script to follow telling him when to press a victim and when to draw back. He knows when to go for a kill and at what point thier death will have the most meaning.

It's how he has earned respect.]


I have asked myself many questions over the course of this war. But, will not be swayed. Commanding the Decepticon Justice Division is my duty to the Decepticon cause.

It is what I taught you, yes. But like many things I adopted and imposed on the Decepticons, it was wrong. One more misplaced step down the path of the war.

[He doesn't expect Tarn to immediately accept it, but at least he was listening. And perhaps that would be the only thing he would need to do.]

Change can be a frightening thing when you're set in what was taught. But it's never too late for you to learn a new lesson.

Oh please, Megatron.
[Tarn finds himself laughing bitterly at the pure absurdity of the ex-con's commentary. It's a wholely unpleasant sound when paired with the pure hatred shining from Tarn's optics. ]

Don't talk to me like I'm some misguided youngling. I am fully capable of handling change if the idea behind it is not completely absurd. I've been weakened enough as it is, I don't need your Autobots to sense any further instability.

The nature of change will always create instability.

[He seems unfazed by Tarn's cynical, defensive reaction.]

It's not something you should fear.
