Backbeat chuckles
' Simple... You need my help, and I need someone smart enough to stay loyal... The fact you may well be one of the best assassins on this rock may help. '
He adds, tossing the knife up and down in his hands.
' Besides... Thanks to the access I had as leader... I know who they are... Plus once I'm back in office... I'll be able to make a executive decision. '

Astrinal picked out an energon cigarette from her forearm compartment. The situation she was being driven into was complicated. Astrinal lit the cigarette as she responded. "You throw the word 'loyal' around pretty casually. If this deal becomes reality, I'd be working with you just to save my skidplate." Astrinal said cooly. She stuck the cigarette in her mouth without question.
Astrinal was a 25 foot femme with a menacing presence; a war hero with many tales from both sides of the war. One of those stories consisted of the Decepticon Justice Division and how she had fought them off in Vos and escaped alive. That was a long time ago, and many grudges were held from that day. Astrinal was one hundred percent sure that Tarn was one of those people. That very battle had classified Astrinal as a slippery individual. He clearly has no idea the extent Tarn will go to catch my skidplate. Astrinal thought.
"As for the DJD buisness, we both know that Tarn isn't the brightest individual." Astrinal states. "So what makes you think Tarn- a sadist who talks people to death- would listen to you. The Decepticon Justice Division have always roamed as they pleased."

Backbeat chuckles...
'Isn't that what loyalty is? Knowing that you have to follow someone for good things to happen... I want someone who knows what happens when they don't follow the leader. Your loyal cause you need to be loyal... Good enough eh? '
He adds in a reassuring voice, like one trying to sell car insurance. His armor was patchwork of parts, it was clear in his retirement he was forced to use less than reputable sources for spare parts. If he wasn't slouching he would have been taller, but his body language was that of a friend chatting someone up on the street, minimum effort. His reputation was all he needed to strike fear in anyone he talked to.
' Simple... You know how many loyal decepticons want them dead? Line around the planet twice... All of 'em itching for the chance. I say, OPEN SEASON! And you get the ides of march... That's an Earth history joke. '
Nevermore, meanwhile, seem to hang in the background. Every so often sending one of the many birds composing her body to hunt down any local lifeforms that strayed too close. Her body seemed to be constantly shifting while retaining her shape. Occasionally chiming in in her sing song voice.
"Yes. They die. I feed on the bones. Perfect plan. "

Astrinal knew better than to believe Backbeat's depiction of his DJD extermination plan. Nobody would fight the group of sadist unless they were truely desperate enough. However, if placed on the right mood, a deal could be struck with Tarn. Astrinal passed over Backbeat's plot in exchange for her own. Morally sane reasons could be used on Tarn if they were used correctly.
This was the winning detail for Backbeat. Astrinal turned around to face the decepticon leader. While doing this, she ignored Nevermore's comment. "When the time comes, I will not go willingly." she stated coldly. "Neutrality is a contagious disease. By the time I resurface I will not want to enter the nemesis willingly. Therefore force may be needed on your part. In exchange for the false death, I will.. "join" the decepticons until my debt is paid off."
Astrinal, who had been walking towards Backbeat, stops just a few feet away. "Did I get all the details?"

Backbeat let's out villainous laugh.
' Perfectly... NEVERMORE! Exit stage left! '
Nevermore nods and waves at Astrinal as she moves to stand at Backbeat's side.
" See you round. "
Backbeat snaps his fingers as a panel on his chest slides open, thick smoke bellows out to create a cloud. As the cloud disperses he and Nevermore have disappeared.
