Oustanding, Tailgate! That's quite the achievement for your first battle; you should be very pleased with yourself. I dare say that you will be even more successful the next time you find yourself in combat.
I'm very proud of you.
[For once there is something similar to genuine warmth in Tarn's voice.]
Okay, it all started when we, the Lost Light crew, found Luna-1, and there was this guy named Tyrest-
[And so Tailgate tells the entire tale, from start to finish, about how he literally saved hundreds, maybe thousands, of constructed cold bots using his finger and a semicolon because he had paid attention to Ultra Magnus' lessons. This story also included Rodimus igniting the moon by existing near it, his own cybercrosis, and the weird fact that Megatron was born after the war he started ended, and was brought back in time by Brainstorm, who went back in time initially to kill Megatron, and that Megatron's green spark was placed into his body by Whirl.
Tailgate mentions offhandedly that Megatron got arrested that one time because Riptide forgot his curly straw, somewhat missing the implication that a curly straw started the entire war.]
And after all that we watched Back to the Future 2 and I got my really cool hoverboard. I should show it to you sometime.
[He finishes, as if everything he had just said was logical and believable. It seemed like it to him.]

I think I would have gotten more, but I got distracted.

Date: 2016-07-21 12:23 am (UTC)Everyone else seems very disappointed in me, and I'm not sure how I feel about that.
I mean, that's what we were supposed to do, right? Kill things?
But people get upset when I do it! That's unfair.

The issue is that they seem to think you weak and something that needs protecting. It upsets them to see you capable to protecting yourself.

I guess it's to be expected. None of them have ever taken me serious, and I once saved the universe! With my finger and a semi-colon!
