115/You, Sir, Are Trouble

**Aegis has posed:**
Sometimes a femme just needs a drink. Maccadam's is a well known place, and generally quite well populated, so it suits Aegis' nedds quite well. So that's where she is this cycle. While the medic is usually fairly good natured, there's something almost brooding about her countenance today as she walks up to the bar and orders a drink. At least her job pays decently well, so her drink is of a good grade, if not anything fancy.

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream is on his way back to Maccadams. He's got a lot of cogs to be out in the open like this but here he is. As he walks in he looks around to see who is working the floor and then heads to the bar to get a drink. He notices Aegis as he steps up and smiles at her. "Fancy seeing you here." he motions for the drink he wants and then looks back at her.

**Aegis has posed:**
Oh, isn't that just PERFECT. Aegis takes a deep breath and stares Starscream straight in the optics. "You, sir, are trouble." Taking her drink in hand, she motions towards a table in a gesture of welcome that belies the words she just spoke. Then, she stands and goes to sit at that table, not looking to see if the seeker mech follows.

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream can't help but grin at her comment and when his drink arrives a few seconds later, he takes it and follows her to the table she chose. With a sip of his drink the Seeker slides into a chair and says, "You don't seem to be too bothered by that to me."

**Aegis has posed:**
"Do you expect me to start a fight here? I think they frown on that sort of thing," Aegis says, looking up from her drink. "I must say though, you have some pretty big struts, since a lot of people have good reason to be mad at you, and you still parade around as though you owned the planet," she points out. With a short laugh she shakes her head and returns to her drink.

**Aegis has posed:**
Aegis nods her head. "Maybe you will, maybe you won't. War is chaotic and unpredictable and lives are lost," she says. "I'm not a fighter, so I wouldn't fight you either way." She lowers her voice slightly and leans forward. "But your stunt the other cycle seemed to make people think I was involved somehow."

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream frowns and sets his glass down. "My stunt? Why would someone think you were involved in that? What happened?"

**Aegis has posed:**
Aegis peers back at Starscream, her light orange optics simply not possessing the intensity of his red ones. "I had admitted that you hadn't had time to blow up the place," she says in a hushed voice. "So now it seems that I'm guilty by association for wanting to 'protect' your 'good name' when all I did was speak the truth. You DIDN'T activate that console," she insists.

**Starscream has posed:**
"My intent was to never blow the refinery up but to stop the bomb set by the Autobots." Starscream says conveinently leaving out the part where he was trying to gain control of the refinery and keep it as Decepticon property, "But thanks to Prowl thats not what happened. That /Autobot/ is the one that has a lot of explaining to do regarding that situation.. not I." he takes a sip of his drink then adds, "I do.. appreciate that you did speak the truth though."

**Aegis has posed:**
Aegis shrugs her shoulders. "I try to speak the truth, but it seems as though that's a dangerous thing to do in the middle of a war," she says dryly. "I'm not interested in taking sides. I'm a medic, I fix people, and I don't intend on letting a symbol stop me from doing my job," she says pointedly. "I'm not sure exactly what happened before I came back, but whatever the case, you have a bunch of very angry mechs on one hand, and the law on the other. Now, the law hasn't exactly been a champion of everything good and wholesome, but from the sounds of things, neither has your lot." She gives him a scrutinizing look. "Both sides are going to have to really shape up, or there will be nothing left of Cybertron except for rusted metal and weather."

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream says, "I won't let this planet become a wasteland but it's not up to me what the Autobots do." he gets an annoyed look on his face for a moment, "And yet they will try to throw the blamed on the Decepticons you can be sure of that." he focuses on the femme, "And remember, that is the side you chose to associate with."

**Aegis has posed:**
Aegis smiles faintly. "They have good medical facilities. But I'm not an Autobot," she says. "I just do my job. Besides, I'm talking to you, aren't I?" She takes a long sip from her drink. "I don't need the party line. This is war, and in war, people kill each other. I don't want any part of that. But I'm more than happy to put folks together at the end of the day."

**Starscream has posed:**
"Thank Primus there are mechs like you around to keep putting us all back together then." Starscream says with a small smile as he finishes his drink.

**Aegis has posed:**
Aegis tilts her head to the side. "But aren't I putting your enemeies back together just as much," she points out with half a smile. "It's what being neutral means."

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream makes a face. "WEll that is the unfortunate part of it, yes."

**Aegis has posed:**
Aegis laughs softly. "You take that rather calmly." Her optics narrow slightly. "Then I'm going to guess it's ambition more than hate that drives you." Leaning back she scrutinizes the Seeker again. "Maybe you really will own the planet someday. You had just better hope there is something left /to/ own." She takes a long sip of her drink. Most of her ire at the mech has faded, though she still has some general annoyance towards factionals in general for being so eager to continue the violence.

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream chuckles a bit and lifts his glass to hers. "You have a gift of insight." he takes a sip. "But don't let that lull you into thinking you have me figured out."

**Aegis has posed:**
Aegis shakes her head. "I was just taking a guess," she says frankly. "Whatever the case is, you don't seem like a thug, and you don't seem to have a classic case of revenge. Of course, it could be an unclassic case of revenge, but thug still seems to be out." She shrugs. "Doesn't mean I have a clue what you're trying to do or what you're capable of." Polishing off her drink, she sets the glass aside.

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream's optics flare slightly. "I am capable of more then anyone knows. But don't let that worry you." he takes another sip of his drink then sets the glass down. "When the class system was used here -- sadly it has been abolished, I was created in the top percent of the 'upper class'. I have no reason to be a 'thug'." he motions for a server to refill Aegis' drink.

**Aegis has posed:**
Aegis smiles faintly at the server, though distantly, not from any snobbery but because she's distracted. "Well, let's look at the facts so far. Since I've touched down on the planet, I've had to fix you up twice, seen you in jail, heard of your trial and escape from that same trial, and witnessed you at the site of a place just before it blew up. So far, it sounds like you have had quite the career if that's just a sample of it." She raises her new drink slightly. "For good or ill, you'll be someone that is hard to ignore. The question is...what are you going to DO with that. I'm curious to see."

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream grins, "Just wait till I have a /busy/ week..." the intense crimsom in his optics seems to swirl a bit at that comment and he lifts his glass to her new one, "To what the future has in store, may it never be dull." he takes a sip of his drink.

**Aegis has posed:**
Aegis takes a long pull of her drink. "I don't think dull is what you'll have to worry about. Or me, for that matter," she says wryly, which she follows up with a sigh. "Though I should probably get back to work pretty soon. Injuries /do/ tend to pile up these days."

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream nods. "I imagine it will all get worse before it gets better. Espeicall when you have Autobots like Prowl calling the shots."

**Aegis has posed:**
Aegis narrows her optics at the mention of Prowl, though she doesn't say anything specific about the matter. Not now. "Well, if I do my job well enough, some people might actually live to tell the tale of the war by the time it's all over," she notes wryly, taking the last sip of her drink. "Thanks for the drink," she says, rising to her feet. "I expect I'll hear of you on the news again." And she turns and walks out of the bar.

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream nods a goodbye and watches her walk out. "I'm sure you will." he says to himself as he finishes his drink and motions for another.
