Starscream is a brilliant commander, nobody can deny it. And it's probably why he's Megatron's second in command. However, the one thing nobody can make heads nor tails of is why he's still Megaton's second in command, considering all the botched assassination attempts.
But, you don't have time to ponder that as you, Starscream's most trusted Cybertronian soldier, follow him reluctantly to where a giant pool of liquid Energon was supposedly found. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that this is just yet another plan to kill Megatron.
"Look! I knew it, I knew it wasn't just a rumour!" He says in that high-pitched, mildly screechy voice of his, doing a little dance around the perimeter until the ground gives way under his feet, sending the Decepticon tumbling into the bright blue liquid with a large splash where he stays for a moment before scrambling out with trembling servos and off-coloured optics.
You can almost hear his spark pulsing rapidly and you're just about to ask if he's alright when he begins giggling, turning over onto his back with a strange red flush on his face and a big goofy grin.
"By Primus! I think, I think I absorbed too much - hic - Energon!" Starscream giggles, raising his arm and flexing his servo towards the night sky and closing one optic, pretending to grab a handful of stars and giggling a bit more at the absurdity of his own actions.
It's almost as if he's... How do humans call it? Drunk?
