Vaguely, a horrific thought occurs to the Seeker, like he's puzzling this out in slow motion. Megatron willingly abandoning the Decepticons strangely does not sound like a too implausible situation to him. After all, with Optimus dead...

Oh shit wait everyone is staring at him.

Starscream is jerked out of his contemplation by this realization. Snapping back to attention, his eyes flick nervously between the two of them. His expression darkens into a scowl, which he directs at Solus. "Megatron speaks truly. He is fundamentally linked to the Decepticon cause, and I have come to realize that he has no equal... although I'll have you know that he has personally groomed me to keep his legacy alive, should the unthinkable ever happen. If you mean to imply that I have taken control in this supposed future of yours, while his Spark still pulses elsewhere, then it is surely a temporary state of affairs until his return. His cause is righteous, and would not be so easily crushed."
