;P

[dontasktrix]

You might want to try some reverse psychology on the mun; they're notoriously sadistic. You know.

[inursatellites]

NEGOTIATION: IS NOT AN OPTION.

[dontasktrix]

Well that would take subtlety. [Do either of them really have it?] You just stand your ground, then, soldier. You can creep around and play with your minions just fine where you are! [No one wants your forced uploading!]

[inursatellites]

INFORMATION: FAULTY.

SOUNDWAVE: FUNCTIONS AS COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER. CLASSIFICATION OF 'SOLDIER' IS: BELOW THIS UNIT'S CAPABILITY.

[dontasktrix]

Don't you have a stellar sense of humor? If you're going to be all formal about it, you may address me as Sub-commander. [That's what she says; her allegiance is hazy at the moment.]

[namesnotprowl]

... I completely agree with you for once.

[bringtherain]

...

Yeah.

Yeah.

No games needed for you. You're right. Dunno what your mun is thinking.

[HE'LL JUST...]

[lookatmyguns]

Like your mun is going to give you a choice.

[Doesn't matter how much of a big, bad Decepticon you think you are.]

[nonononono]

You, uh...can't do much against them, though. Not even a big, ah, big tough guy like you. Why am I here...

[inursatellites]

SOUNDWAVE: WILL NOT.

AUTHORITY: NOT RECOGNIZED.

[inursatellites]

AGREEMENT: ACKNOWLEDGED.

BARRICADE: IDENTIFIED.

[Mwa ha ha ha ha.]

[inursatellites]

SUBJECT: IDENTIFIED.

HUMAN INTERLOPER. EXISTENCE: WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

[inursatellites]

[Oh look. It's the boy with the watch.]

[How fortunate.]

[Excuse him while he just stares. He'd look amused, but hey, emoting isn't really Soundwave's thing.]

[namesnotprowl]

[Engh D::]

I hardly doubted that you would recognize me, Soundwave. We have... worked with one another on occasion, after all.

[inursatellites]

SOUNDWAVE: WILL SEE.

[inursatellites]

AFFIRMATIVE.

THAT DATA: IS INTACT.

[He remembers, thank you very much.]

[nonononono]

[IF YOU GUYS WOULD JUST STOP LEAVING ALL YOU DATA IN SOMETHING SO SMALL AND ORDINARY YOU WOULD NEVER HAVE THESE ISSUES

...don't look at him like that that's not cool, stop. Stop. STOP.]

What?

[namesnotprowl]

Unsurprised.

You always did have a mind like a steel trap.

[Flattery keeps him out of hot water, right?]

[dontasktrix]

[Could wound someone's spark like that!] They don't let you out much, do they?

[bringtherain]

[Existence not tolerated? Isn't that his line?]

Hey man. Don't go messin' with me. I took out your buddy with the helicopter blades.

[inursatellites]

[Silence.]

[The only authority is Megatron's. Surely other Decepticons understand this.]

[inursatellites]

FLATTERY: ACKNOWLEDGED.

[inursatellites]

DESIGNATION: BLACKOUT WAS . . . INFERIOR. POOR CONSTRUCTION. EASILY BREACHED ARMOR.

HUMAN: DID NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF.

[inursatellites]

[Where is the watch?]

[He has some data to harvest, kthnx.]

[nonononono]

[He's not a robot mind reader, bro.]

Catbot got your tongue?

[namesnotprowl]

... Figured as much.

[BETTER THAN NOTHING.]

[bringtherain]

Really? That why you sent him to an army base to blow shit up?

Last I looked, helicopters were more heavily shielded than cars.

[He no likey you cause you spy.]

[dontasktrix]

[She's getting better at reading silence, or at least she thinks she is.] Let me guess. Megatron is glorious! No one else's rank even matters! You're worse than Sunstorm!
