looks like the cybertron to go to

[noparachutes]

A Cybertron like that? As long as there are Autobots to kill, I do not care where you intend to send me. Worlds of peace do not suit me, therefore do not expect me to idly stand by and not massacre them all. I live to kill, that will not change on a new Cybertron.

The Driller will become restless if you keep us boxed in, do not mess up and we will not have issues with unfortunate ramifications for you.

Shockwave? You appear different than I last remember you -- a couple upgrades, perhaps?

[noparachutes]

A few. Who are you?

[ravage]

You do not recognize me? I would be almost insulted if I had not obtained several upgrades myself -- reformatted for a new age.

But surely you do remember the name Ravage, yes?

[noparachutes]

You look nothing like Ravage, nor do you speak like him. Had Soundwave upgraded him, it would not have been kept secret this long.

[inursatellites]

SOUNDWAVE: ACKNOWLEDGES.

SHOCKWAVE: IS A WELCOMED PRESENCE.

[noparachutes]

Soundwave. Your status?

[inursatellites]

ONLINE.

FUNCTIONAL.

CURRENTLY LACKING: PLACEMENT.

HOWEVER . . . LACK OF PLACEMENT: EQUATES LACK OF TROUBLE BY UNIT DESIGNATED "MUNDANE".

[noparachutes]

They are very troublesome beings, yet they do have their moments. Unfortunately it is not often enough, I cannot complain if I am permitted to kill however.

You do not find it tedious to be trapped within this "peace"?

[inursatellites]

PERMISSION TO KILL: MORE LIKELY THAN PERMISSION FOR DATA RETRIEVAL.

OTHER MUNDANES: DISLIKE ENCOUNTERING FORCEFUL INVASION OF PROCESSORS. COMPUNCTIONS: ARE NOT UNDERSTOOD.

NEGATIVE.

DATA: EASIER TO ABSORB IF SOUNDWAVE IS LEFT TO OWN DEVICES.

[noparachutes]

An unfortunate problem. Data retrieval is necessary, disallowing you that is not logical.


Noted.

[inursatellites]

MUNDANES: ARE NOT LOGICAL CREATURES.

. . .

ADDENDUM.

SHOCKWAVE'S PRESENCE: DOES NOT HINDER DATA GATHERING OR PROCESSING.

CLARIFICATION: SHOCKWAVE'S PRESENCE IS ALLOWABLE.

[Soundwave-speak for: I like having you around.]

[noparachutes]

If they wish to try and control us, they should consider it.


That is appreciated, Soundwave.

[inursatellites]

AFFIRMATIVE. MUNDANES: DO NOT ALWAYS CONSIDER LOGIC A VITAL QUALITY IN THEIR ACTIONS.

CONTROL: SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE, THEREFORE.

APPRECIATION: ACKNOWLEDGED.

[Shockwave's appreciation is always good :3]

[noparachutes]

And yet they somehow possess it.

[He rumbles a bit displeased. It's okay Soundwave, it's not directed t you.]

[inursatellites]

THE ANOMALY: IS BEING EXAMINED.

[Nah, he knows. If he were capable of the same irritation, he'd show it, too.]

SHOCKWAVE: WILL BE MINDFUL OF ANOMALY. CARE WILL BE TAKEN NOT TO FALL INTO THEIR TRAPS.

[noparachutes]

Care has already been implemented.

Be mindful of what you say, Soundwave. People will start thinking you are capable of worry.

[inursatellites]

ACKNOWLEDGED. ANSWER: RECORDED.

CONCERN: EMOTIVE FUNCTION. SOUNDWAVE: LACKS THE CAPABILITY.

WHY: WOULD THE QUESTION COME UP?

[noparachutes]

I am well aware.

The humans however, are known for misreading things.

[He's just looking out for you, Soundwave. He knows how these "mun" creatures can be.]

[inursatellites]

MISREADING: HARMS NOTHING.

SOUNDWAVE: IS CAPABLE OF IGNORING FOOLISH CLAIMS. SOUNDWAVE: . . . WORKED WITH STARSCREAM.

[He's used to crazy claims.]

[noparachutes]

It's still best to stop it before it starts. Before it is capable of getting out of hand. Having it cause interferences when you are attempting to work would not be efficient. And these are humans.

[Starscream isn't as bad as them.]

[inursatellites]

LOGIC: ACKNOWLEDGED.

SHOCKWAVE: HAS VALID POINTS. CONSIDERATION: WILL BE TAKEN TO PREVENT FURTHER MISUNDERSTANDINGS...

[noparachutes]

Acceptable.

[inursatellites]

[Acceptable is good. He would be happy to please Shockwave...]

[... if happiness were a thing he could do.]

[noparachutes]

[Soundwave pleases him - as much as a Shockwave can be pleased about anything - more often than any other Decepticon. He's not going to be loosing that anytime soon.]

[inursatellites]

[And thus it was a match made in terrifying hell.]

[noparachutes]

[Mmm baby, but those hips are heavenly.]

[inursatellites]

[... that pun was terrible and you should feel terrible.]

[noparachutes]

[It's the truth, only thing that matters.]

[inursatellites]

[These hips do go on for days...]

[noparachutes]

[Shh, Soundwave. He just need to hold those hips.]

[inursatellites]

[Well, he's welcome to it. So long as Soundwave can keep doing his data thing.]

[noparachutes]

[Absolutely. He can just sit silently and hold onto him. He's quite good at being silent and not very demanding. Relaxation time before going to kill people.]

[inursatellites]

[Oh, good.]

[There's a reason he sticks around you, Shockwave. And there it is.]

[noparachutes]

[He would never interfere with work, unless it was absolutely necessary.]

[inursatellites]

[And this is why they work so well together.]
