In Ol' Virginny

MEGATRON:
The human Nagi took us on her final trip of the year to Virginia. We learned of another temporal rift that would take us back to the Colonial days. So we traveled to Williamsburg to find this temporal rift and conquer early Virginia.

STARSCREAM:
Here we are at the gateway to the temporal rift. Apparently humans have turned these temporal rifts into tourist attractions. Then again, humans are easier to entertain than we sophisticated Cybertronians. A simple ball and stick can entertain these creatures for an entire season.

MEGATRON:
As we travel the path to the old town, I cannot help but wonder at the other humans travelling to see this sight. Mayhaps I can apply this to Cybertron, create little temporal rifts that lead back to the former golden age. It is something to consider...

STARSCREAM:
Megatron stands before the Governor's Palace. I think he's decided to claim this as his thrown of power. I think he's just going to blow it all to frell when he gets bored with it...

MEGATRON:
This is the Magazine and Guardhouse. While it is rather primitive and ineffectual against our kind, it's still a good idea to size up our competition. Can never be too careful when it comes to ammunition.

STARSCREAM:
Sometimes I thank PRIMUS we awoke in the time period we did. I can barely believe that this vehicle drawn by organic equines were the most viable form of transportation! Ugh... just the smell alone would have me out...

MEGATRON:
This early world was certainly a different place than what it is today. Not a Starbucks in sight! This is unacceptable! When I take over, I will have my frappacinos!

STARSCREAM:
And here is the Capitol building. Ah, politics, where would the Decepticon Empire be without it?

STARSCREAM:
Thankfully, by posing as tax collectors we were able to gain back our travel budget so now we are capable of resuming our conquest of the United States!

MEGATRON:
And with the conquest of Virginia, we big the flesh creature Nagi adieu as we journey to Pennsylvania and begin the next phase of our plan. Mwa ha ha ha... This state won't know what hit it!

VIVA LAS VEGAS!

MEGATRON:
The flesh creature, Nagi took us to the city of Las Vegas. A city of Avarice and Sin, the perfect environment for Decepticon regime! Unfortunately we had to contend with the flesh creature's pet Autobots Tracks, Red Alert, and Smokescreen. No matter the city of sin will call me master!

STARSCREAM:
I can't believe Megatron had the gall to make me ride with the luggage! We arrived at the Excalibur, the base of operations we would be sharing. Megatron was rather pleased that we were staying in a castle. He said something about it suiting his role as master and king of all he surveys.

MEGATRON:
While I took part in the libations provided AMPLY by the hotel's room service. I ordered Starscream to investigate the local scenery. There is going to be a lot of ground to cover. I can tell.

STARSCREAM:
We stopped for refueling at this place called Margaritaville. Not a bad location and it seemed to hold a special significance to Red Alert...

MEGATRON:
I just remembered that I trusted Starscream with our travel budget. Oh well, I'm sure the money is in safe hands. It's not as if he's stupid enough to be taken in by the glitz and sparkling slot machines. Not MY second in command.

STARSCREAM:
What happens in Vegas, STAYS in Vegas. That goes for the travel money I lost to the one armed bandits. Anyways, Red Alert INSISTED we dress up if he follow him to the Jimmy Buffett concert. I don't see why he worships that human so...

MEGATRON:
Starscream seemed rather eager to go out and explore Vegas again today. In fact he's been rather eager to stay away from me. I'll have to look into that later. Today he investigated the Luxor.

STARSCREAM:
So far I think that Megatron has yet to suspect my bungling of our funds. I hope to keep it that way... Today we stayed in a cabana outside by the pool. A rather pleasant peaceful day to relax in the hot desert sun.

MEGATRON:
I soundly trounced Starscream for squandering away our money. The fool needs to learn his place... So to relax, I've decided to investigate the Mandaly Bay casino with Red Alert.

MEGATRON:
I'm satisfied that we have successfully conquered this strange city and added it to our list of conquests. This well traveled flesh creature has even spoke of traveling to Virginia. Another state I can subjugate to my will!

MEGATRON:
As we say good bye to this strangely wonderful town, I can't help but enjoy this adventure. Taking over states one at a time, while grossly inefficient, allows me a rare opportunity to study humans in their natural environment. I can only hope Virginia offers me a similar challenge as Las Vegas did.
