1233/Behind the Screen

**Starscream has posed:**
     Starscream was walking briskly through Command as he started writing posts for their announcement boards, now with the conclusion of their collective meeting, He'd sent an Email for Valour to come to command to talk with their Lord at his next most available time, he'd take a moment to glean over the command atrium, to see if anyone had come in, after sending out said Emails.

**Megatron has posed:**
Megatron enters the command center after Starscream sent out his mails. "Valour is next , from what I understand." he says. He brings up a datapad and pulls out his file.

**Valour has posed:**
    Valour slides into the Decepticon Command Center soon after the meeting, so close to the end of his guard shift that he must have rushed there at top speed. After taking the briefest moment to compose himself, he steps through the door and immediately moves left to keep from blocking anyone else who might follow him in. Coming to a rigid stance of attention, Valour snaps a crisp Decepticon salute and announces, "Private Valour reporting as ordered, sir!"

**Starscream has posed:**
     "Hmph, yes, he is, I've also sent out the emails to both Ravage and Shadowstar to meet you at their next, earliest convenience, I'll allow you to handle the Beast-former.. I'll also inform Overlord you approve of his plan, unless you rather that yourself?" He'd question, because let's be honest.. Overlord was going to do it, weather Megatron approved or not.

      Starscream would then look over, upon hearing Valour come in not even a /cycle/ after the meeting had finished up and blinked. "Ah.. Yes, there you are.. Our Lord would like a word with you in private." He'd say in the most neutral of tones.. well, Neutral for Starscream anyway, which meant it could be interpreted as passive aggression.

**Megatron has posed:**
    Megatron first nods to Starscream. "Excellent. I will deal with Goth personally." He says. "As far as overlord. Inform him, however I would like to meet with him as well to discuss our next target.
     Megatron looks to Valour. "Ah. Valour has arrived. Excellent." He looks to the seeker. "Approach." he says. "I have heard about your recent dedication to your duty, Valour." He says, getting to the point. "And such things will be rewarded...Corporal." he says, throwing in a new title for the seeker's new rank.

**Valour has posed:**
    Valour literally vibrates in nervous excitement. A meeting with Supreme Leader Megatron himself! Poet, warrior - visionary! Somehow Valour manages to come to even stricter attention, which may lead to possible internal injuries. All worth it, as he is personally given praise and extra responsibilities from his eternal idol and living inspiration. "Th-thank you, sir!" Valour gasps. "I will not fail in my duties, and I will lay down my life, if necessary, in order to further your glorious revolution!"

**Megatron has posed:**
     Megatron chuckles. "If we only had a hundred Valours and far less Phantoms, hmm Starscream?" He asks, watching Valor rise to attention. "I know you won't. With mroe successful campaigns, perhaps you will rise further in the ranks. There is no limit within my Empire for soldiers with your dedication."

**Starscream has posed:**
     Starscream knew Valour was going to be... "Excited" (being one word to describe it) for this promotion, but he's honestly impressed the Seeker didn't pass out from it all.

      He'd then approach Valour and hold our a key to the armory, much like he did with Sixshot before. "With your new promotion comes a key to the armory, it is one time use, so do get everything you need from it, before you leave, do not give it to anyone else at that, and make sure no one follows you... Be sure the medics are aware of what upgrades you'll be needing installed from what you choose as well." He'd instruct like the dutiful S.I.C he is.

      ...He's still cheesed at Soudnwave. "Indeed my Lord, much less of a Helmache as well." He'd nod.

**Valour has posed:**
    Valour almost visibly swells in response to the praise and encouragement. He accepts the key with near reverence. "I will protect it with my life," he promises. "No unauthorized personnel will access it while I live, sirs," he swears. "I will choose something that will best assist me in leading others in your campaign of righteous justice," he promises sincerely.

**Megatron has posed:**
     Megatron nods."Yes, I know you will." He says. "You are dismissed at your leisure. I believe the bat is next."

**Starscream has posed:**
     Starscream hems. "Wish for me to get him now?" He'd question, and glanced to Valour. "We had intended to promote you during the meeting, but given your.. Absence... This Is how we chose to complete the task at hand..." He'd explain, keeping a proper posture, wings twitching upwards, as he spoke, keeping his stylus in hand as he wrote on his Datapad.

**Valour has posed:**
    "Thank you, sir!" Valour nearly shouts, offering Megatron another crisp salute. He also shoots a nervous glance at Starscream, wanting to point out he had missed the meeting because he'd been on duty, but not wanting to say anything out of turn. Wings vibrating in a mix of anxiety and happiness, Valour practically floats out of the command center, already thinking about how to best use his new rank and privilege to properly serve Megatron's empire.

**Megatron has posed:**
Megatron nods "At your leisure. Though I would recommend now since I am in a generous mood." he says.

**Starscream has posed:**
     Starscream quirks a ridge, and waits for Valour to be out of command, and out of Audial shot, before he speaks. "...Honestly, quite surprised he didn't lube himself or pass out." He'd say dryly.

      He'd then nod to Megatron, and send out a alert on his Datapad, before taking a seat out of the room to continue working.

**Goth has posed:**
     Goth would soon to be quick to enter command in his familiar bat-mode (which he was rarely ever not in) with his wings furled around him, giving the illusion of a cape as he walked. He'd glanced around the room, ears folded back ever so slightly, as he isn't as.. Nervous, as he was the last few times he was here.

**Megatron has posed:**
Megatron motions to Goth as he approaches. "Ah, Goth. Enter." he says, looking over his reports. "It has come to my attention tht you are always on the field as well and come back victorious more often then not." he pauses. "I believe your skills are best used in intelligence, rather then the general ranks. And appoint you to your new rank of Corporal as well." he says. "Continue to impress me and that will continue to increase.'

**Goth has posed:**
     Goth's ears would perk upward as he entered Megatron's office and.. Well, blinked, the first thought coming to his mind being HE DIDN'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO DARKSTAR ANYMORE! He could almost cackle with glee at the thought, but had to keep himself composed.

      "...It would be an honor my lord and.. intelligence? truly? Would I still have access to my work in operations?" He'd question, raising a ridge, also, would his Lab be an issue? That would be his next question... And, well.. Dustoff..

      "..Hrm, would my lab, located in Medical bay, be of any issue on that matter?"

**Megatron has posed:**
Megatron nods "Of course. I would like you to continue your work in operations as well, as I know you work closely with Dustoff on many projects. You will have full access to your lab and the armory for any upgrades you require."

**Goth has posed:**
     Goth relaxed upon hearing that, He was merely doing cross work, like he had been with Medical. "A pleasure to hear, also wish for me to continue my work in medical?" He'd ask, he was sure it would be the same answer, but better to ask then to assume.

      "...As I would be reporting to Dustoff, Soundwave, and Shockwave." He'd explain... He was definitely becoming a busy, busy bat! "Wish would be my primary?"

**Megatron has posed:**
Megatron pauses. "Soundwave will be your primary." He says. "We are short on medical staff so you will continue your work there as well. I understand you and Dustoff work well together."

**Goth has posed:**
     Goth nodded. "Understood and... Dustoff, and I working well together is.. an understatement." He'd chuckle, still being careful not to reveal yet he, and Dustoff's relationship. He'd then vent and give a light bow.

      "Well, I shall graciously accept, and thank you for the honor and opportunity." He had to vey much contain himself from pushing his luck (Which was bad as is). "Is that all?" He'd ask, unfurling his wings and folding his arms behind him.

**Megatron has posed:**
Megatron is well aware of their..relationship but odesnt make a comment on it. Such things can make ones loyalty stronger if it is just encouraged to grow. So long as their work doesn't suffer its none of his concerned. "That would be all Goth. Keep doing what you are doing and you will please me."

**Goth has posed:**
     Goth gave a bow to Megatron, very much unaware that he /knew/ about them, and made is way out the door to pick up his new badge... Something he thought he'd /never/ get, in his current time here.. Validation, at long last.

**Starscream has posed:**
     Starscream looked over from his seat, outside the hall as the bat moved out of sight. "I shall update the division roster." he'd vent.
