[This takes place directly after this post.]
[Starscream appears not to be in his own room, but obviously still has his journal. And Jetfire is somewhere in the background.]
JETFIRE MURDERED HIS ... well whatever this fuzzy thing is. Still he gorged it and scattered the pieces.
[He holds up an eye.]
See? Jetfire, do you feel no remorse for your actions?
It sees what you have done. When the night comes will you be able to withstand the beating of the heart under the floorboards?

[Jetfire pauses to trail his fingers over the scattered pieces, ignoring Starscream holding up the eye, putting the other eye rather pointedly closer to Starscream.]
And it had no heart.
[Have a flat stare, when he finally looks up, Starscream. Also, who was he to talk about remorse?]

[Well, this was awkward.]
Starscream is exaggerating. I merely picked it apart. It wasn't alive using any definition of the word at all.
I... mm, apologize for any distress he caused you.
[Jetfire'll just take a moment to toss a narrow stare over his shoulder at Starscream.]
no subject
That's terrible! why?! Why would you do something like that?!
no subject
It's not alive. It possesses none of the parts that, for example, make you, you, and keep your body going.
It further possesses no mechanoid parts to be counted as alive... or even a proper artifical intelligence.
[A pause. How to continue?]
You learn things naturally, growing as you do so. This thing can't do that. Further, your body, as well as mine, have ways to repair itself, to keep it going within reasonable bounds. This thing have nothing like that, because it's not alive in any fashion at all.
no subject
It spoke to me. I heard it.
no subject
[How to even explain this?]
With supplies, I could build something infinitely more intelligent than one of these things, that could speak back to you, and it would, still, not be alive.

[Slight frown.]
If I did not have that, I certainly wouldn't have opened this one up already, but would have conducted more non-invasive reasearch. Basically, if I had any doubt it might be alive, I wouldn't have picked it apart as soon as I did it.
[Slag it all, Starscream. :|]
no subject
What if it felt it? You don't know for sure.
no subject
[Another pause. He couldn't assume she'd understand that.]
That is, it has no ways to get any of the similar information you get from your skin or other senses. It can't feel.
[While there were beings that were still alive that lacked certain senses, a complete absense of any sort of way of sensing one's surroundings, and thus interacting with it, was another point against it.]

Don't listen to his lies. Listen to me instead.
