Starscream has been finding himself taking a lot of 'leisure' flights lately, what with the Decepticon base being inhabited by an extremely irate Megatron and an even more mopey Orion Pax. ...Okay so in truth he is mostly avoiding Megatron. It's for the best really. The less time they spend in each other's presence, the less of a chance there is that Starscream will say or do something that will constitute the final straw.
At any rate he is currently making his way back from the coast, casually performing the occasional mid air twist or roll out of sheer boredom. He's been scanning for any signs of synthetic energon, of course, in the event that he locate a lead on their current quarry, but so far nothing has turned up. Typical. His scans do turn something up though: A Decepticon signal... an odd find, considering that as far as Starscream recalls everyone present should be back on board the ship and otherwise preoccupied. Unless Knock Out was out for a drive and shirking his duties again...
Which wasn't too much of a stretch to assume, honestly. And if he was correct, then this was the perfect opportunity for Starscream to pull rank and harass him, which would be welcome catharsis from the shit couple of weeks he's been having. Without a second thought he veers off towards the source, arriving on the scene in a flash and landing with a quick Transformation after double checking for the absence of any humans.
He's all swagger and confidence until he locates who's really at the source of the signal. Then he just positively droops like a balloon slowly losing all of its hot air, mouth hanging open stupidly as the smug reprimand he'd been preparing to dish out is cut off before he can even vocalize it.
