1263/Stars in the Shadows

**Starscream has posed:**
     Starscream is standing about in the main atrium of Decepticon Command, waiting for the officer they've been calling upon for some time, clicking about with those heels of his was probably getting grating for anyone that had to stay in that room. (Fairly it matches with how annoyed he is with waiting.) but he must do what his Lord orders, seldum he reveal his hand to soon.

      "Where is she." He'd grumble under his vents.

**Megatron has posed:**
Megatron comes into the command center, looking at the Datapad. "Who is next on the list. Shadowstar, is it. Yes. Bring her before me."

**Shadowstar has posed:**
      A similar but lighter clicking can soon be heard coming down the hallway. Shadowstar is rather nervous. It is not every day that one is summoned by the big man himself and the SIC. She frowns lightly at that. SIC. That should be her! But...with her tendency to go off on self-appointed scouting missions to remote reaches of the planet maybe that's a bit unrealistic. After all, this summons is quite old now.

      When she rounds the corner and sees Starscream she tenses up for a moment before saluting. "Starscream! Private Shadowstar reporting, as requested! My apologies for the wait! Distance from a repeating station delayed delivery of the notification." She makes her way into ops after that and salutes Megatron even more sharply. "Megatron, sir! It is an honor to see you again, sir!"

**Starscream has posed:**
     Starscream flinches at Megatron's voice and grumbles, his lip twitching and roll his optics, good thing he's facing /away/ from Megatron,but soon her corrects his expression and turns on his heal giving Megatron a bow. "Of course my lord, I received an email not long ago that Private Shadow returned from her scouting mission not long ago and should be returning any time now." He'd report in a calm and collected tone.

      His wings twitchd upward and soon turned to see her. "And there she is my Lord." he'd add smoothy. "Shall we move towards your office?" He'd ask, looking up at the big bot.

**Megatron has posed:**
Megatron nods "At ease, Shadowstar. I have heard reports of your recent victories on the field. I simply wanted to offer you a congratulations...corporal. You have earned some level of responsibility on the field. Do not make me regret this."

**Shadowstar has posed:**
      Shadowstar blinks in surprise at this. She opens her mouth as if she is about to say something, then stops, then salutes again. "You will not, sir. I will continue to perform wonderfully and carry out your wishes to the letter!" she says, trying really hard to keep the corner of her mouth from turning upward in a grin. "And just so you know..." She turns her head just enough that one optic can land on Starscream. "...I intend to have your job someday, Starscream, sir."

**Megatron has posed:**
Megatron waves his hand dismissively "Yes, yes. I know you will." He chuckles. "Careful Starscream. I approve of this one right now. She very well may take your place." he says with amusement.

**Starscream has posed:**
     Starscream just /scoffs/ "Oh please, like I am not aware, I don't have her and any other opportunistic creten vying for my position." He'd huff, giving Shadowstar a glare, trying hard not to turn that stink optic on MEgatron, he'd then march over to Shadowstar and offer her a armory key.

      "Don't lose this, nor allow another to have it, it is an armory key, it goes right with your promotion, the medics made mention your systems were not up to proper snuff and this shall give you a chance to correct such errors.. It would be wise not to take this reward in vain." He'd sneer.

**Megatron has posed:**
Megatron shrugs "Shes giving you warning. Some don't. I'd consider this gracious." He says.

**Shadowstar has posed:**
      Shadowstar hmphs, turning her nose up with a haughty air. "I may be opportunistic, but I am far from a creten." she says, then just smirks as she takes the key. "I will keep it safe, sir. And will use the equipment to its fullest." she says, then whispers to Starscream since he is pretty close while handing over the key. "...do not forget, I had a hand in helping your little power grab in the Seeker Academy." She gives a little wink, then puts the key away in a secure storage compartment. "Will there be anything else, sirs?" she asks, standing at attention again.

**Megatron has posed:**
Megatron considers "That is all, Corporal." he says waving his hand dismissively.

**Starscream has posed:**
     Starscream just squints, biting his tongue, and lets her be on her way, once she's out of Audial shot he'd glance to Megatron. "Really shouldn't encourage such... Disruptive actions." He'd huff with a twitch of his wings.
