Between six and seven million years old. Why would that be rude?

[ Humans were so touchy about the strangest things. ]

Lord Megatron decided that I had failed him too often and attempted to kill me. Leaving seemed somewhat prudent in light of that at the time, so yes... I'd probably do it again in the same situation, given the alternative.

But my decisions immediately following - in hindsight - seem rather short-sighted. Those I would certainly reconsider.

nevermind

[ Yep, definitely a human thing. They really had a lot of growing up to do as a species. ]

funny, the supreme leader tried to kill me too

but you returned anyway?
even after he tried to kill you?

[ Sounds familiar. ]

I acquired substantial leverage to return with that ensured my safety.

[ Well, ensured might have been a stretch... one could never truly predict Megatron's moods. But highly incentivized, that was the best he could get, and his gamble had paid off. ]

The Decepticons were where I belonged.

[ And now they were disbanded. So, too, were the Autobots by technicality, but it was hard to think of it like that with the way the war ended. ]

What does this have to do with not going flying?

[ That gives her pause. Where does she belong? She'd followed Ben all those years ago because she'd believed in her brother, but she's never felt at home in the First Order. But she can't imagine herself going back to the Resistance, either.

Strangely, she feels more at home with the Cybertronians these days. ]

some days i feel like a major screw up and this is one of those days
i regret

[ Whoops, she's sent that too fast. ]

[ Starscream doesn't understand not feeling like flying, but he's a Seeker. His desire to be airborne is literally written in his core programming, spark-deep. He had thought that Jane, as a pilot, understood that to some small degree, even if she wouldn't feel it as strongly as he did. ]

You're still alive. You can make new decisions.
