Time to go...[Archived from Rampage's LJ]

[mosaic_archive]

The waiting and the preparations are almost over. The most difficult part here, other than keeping my temper under control, was convincing Razorclaw to stay behind...

Now, there's just a briefing to attend, and on to the carnage...

I do still have one concern... While my control is better than it was years ago, this will be the first time I have gone to a place that reminds me so much of Omicron...

What if...

Ah, but mustn't think of that...

I'm a Decepticon. I'm used to inflicting pain, and I don't mind. But...

I'm quite adept at causing others pain, when it suits me. Both physical and psychological. In a way, Omicron served as a bit of a classroom... for both methods.

Case in point, my interests in fear... For example, I learned if I laughed during the experiments, it frightened them. One has to do something, and I wasn't about to let them hear me scream if I could help it...

And such simple things were the only revenge I could inflict from inside my cell. Fear is a powerful influence on some minds, Father... I've made quite a study of the matter over time.

Of course, the day I finally built up enough of a tolerance to the stasis field they were using to escape before they could strap me down for another test... I didn't bother with psychology. *rather vicious smile*

*is scared by Rampage's rendition, but still...*

I understand. No, I don't... but I do. I wouldn't want anyone to hear me scream, either... son...

*seems stunned for a few minutes... hadn't expected Starscream to ever call him that...*

It's a matter of pride, if nothing else, isn't it, Father... of all the things they could do to me, I wouldn't let them have that, nor would I stop struggling when I was tied down... I would not let them win...

(('too much to hope for' an all...))
