Starscream was pacing on flight deck of the Decepticon's flagship The Nemesis, a bitter expression on his faceplate. His crooked stance and dromming talons along the servos made it clear that he was tense

"I have been a fool. Made mistakes. Monumental ones. I now realize I was never destined to be leader, or even an equal partner. And, I am at peace with that..."

He gritted his denta, his red optics narrowing and his wings lowered in almost shame

"I have gained a clear understanding of my place in the universe. Of who I am. Of who I was always meant to be"

He let's his vents take a deep breath before letting a sigh

"Starscream: second in command, humble servant to Lord Megatron..."

He stopped for a second, a disgusted scowl creeping on his expression

"Oh who i'm kidding, i am in no position to try to convince myself of that scrap. I just have to keep playing my gamble right and soon... The decepticons will understand... That with Megatron gone... I, Lord Starscream... Will be the supreme commander"

He grinned darkly at his own words, his wings flared up almost in a smug stance and his optics brighter than ever
