[Feed opens to Megatron at the well, standing, looking pompous as the norm.]
Hello, puny inhabitants of this disgusting cesspool. I am known as Lord Megatron. You may refer to me as your new master. If you disagree, allow me to show you the results of defiance.
[The focus of the video changes to the contents in his hand. A relatively young woman, with short brown hair and who has clearly seen better days. The sleeve of her left arm is gone, still fashioned as a sling on the left side. Her right leg is swollen, a clumsy brace still attached to the ankle.]
This weak, pathetic thing had the gall to refuse me tribute, among many other crimes, and she has been punished over the course of her stay with me. Even now, she continues to defy me. And there is only one response to such insolence.
[And so, Megatron punts the poor Caroline to the ground not unlike a football, following up with a sickening stomp.]
And when she exits the well, she will return to my ship for further punishment. Do all you peons understand the game we are playing now?

Ah, Prime. To what do I owe the pleasure? Do you simply prefer your entertainment live?
[As he speaks, Megatron scrapes his foot along the ground, as though ridding it of some FILTH he happened to step on.]

Evil robot with quests of organic domination. You're about as original as a burned Holo-vid. What's wrong? Can't come up with actually unique evil plans?

How? Well, you just saw it, didn't you? I just threw her to the ground and...

Huh...I have to say I'm not convinced, you just seem like..I dunno, you're not taking everything into consideration.

Actually, I'm pretty sure you've forgotten a few factors in your calculations.

But this...this was just low. She wished she didn't have to suffer from such a awful fate like this. Sure, people will eventually spawn back here, but it didn't make it right at all. And how Phoenix's psyche had seemed to strain with this kind of shit it just made her blood boil.]
So, do as you say or suffer the consequences then?

Congratulations, Megatron. You've just set the record in pissing her off.

[Oh hey guess who's late to the party! The one non-Decepticon that didn't seem to mind serving your interests Megs.]
[For how long, it probably was impossible to tell, but the small drone had been sitting on it's favorite perch near the Well, watching the whole show. It probably would have questioned the Decepticon Lord on the necessity of all this violence when Caroline clearly was of little worth in the long run, but Cabrakan didn't want it's puppet body to get punched out by a large metal fist. It had taken quite a bit of subversive luring to get enough material for it.]

Did you not pledge loyalty to me? And yet you sit, not so much as thinking to INTERCEPT a single being. Were you not capable of defending this point, or are you simply inept?

She wasn't quite sure what to think, frankly. She certainly knew it wasn't shock or disgust, but it was some negative emotion, floating around in there. On any other occasion, a scathing comment might have come slithering out of the communicator. Thankfully, a few layers of steel, dirt and concrete was not enough to make GLaDOS feel particularly invincible.]
... I hope you have a decent cleaner up there. I know for a fact that bile tends to stain.
[So yeah, that woman you just smushed? Now imagine someone sucked out every bit of emotion and warmth and humanity of her and then decided auto-tuning her voice would make her sound more welcoming.
That's what this is.]

Caroline...
Oh God. Caroline just died by the hands of that god-awful terrifying Decepticon she saw arise from the ink well a few days ago, she knew that guy would be bad news, Darnit she should have tried to do something about him when she had the chance, but what hope would she have against someone like him on her own anyway?]
If you weren't made entirely of metal or whatever...
I'd totally rip your throat out right now.
