Transformers Prime (OPEN)

[Soundwave-Kun]

Soundwave

Soundwave panicked, scooping up the femme with his tentacles. He was nearly shaking.

The femmeling let out a squeak when tentacles wrapped around her torso. Picking her up, SoundWave held Nitro close to him. NitroPlug wrapped her legs around SoundWave's torso, her arms wrapped around his neck and her helm laid on his shoulder. The former Autobot gazed at Megatron as she clung to the Third in Command. Typically, Nitro would be blabbering by now. However SoundWave's spark was beating erratically and his frame was trying not to shake. She kept silent and watch the war Lord.

Megatron
He had been speaking to one of his followers when it happened, when something small and quick ran into him with a loud clank! and bounced right off of him. It sort of felt like someone had kicked a pebble against his shin. He cut himself off, sharply looking down to the fool who had not been looking where they were going. Annoyance turned to malicious pleasure when he noticed it was a tiny Autobot at his pedes. He grinned wickedly, revealing his sharp dentals as he chuckled. "My, my." He made to pick her up. "You Autobots never fail to--" He cut himself off before he could finish his sentence and just before he could hoist the femme up in a crushing grasp. Autobot, no. He saw a Decepticon symbol where he had once noticed an Autobot symbol, and her optics did not glow blue as he had recalled. Confusion set in as he retracted her servo and claws from her stumbled frame, and he tilted his head at her and stroked his chin between thumb and index finger as he struggled over how he should feel about this unexpected turn of events. His first instinct was to become angry. What idiot would convince an Autobot like this loud, hyperactive youngling to join the Decepticons? Then again, what idiot had actually managed that feat? He never got to greet the femme before Soundwave came flailing into the room, scooping up the small "Autobot" in his tentacles like she was his child. He raised his helm up even higher, appraising his almost clattering third in command and the small one which he held protectively against him. He chuckled darkly, drawing in a deep breath and turning his helm somewhat away. Soundwave's presence and apparent responsibility in the situation complicated the way he felt. "Soundwave." He drew the masked spymaster's name out slowly. "Have our resident idiots finally managed to rub off on you?" He faced the mech squarely now. "I would expect this kind of shenanigan from many of my followers, but you?" He was grinning, but it was in an ironic way. "Explain this to me," he said, motioning to the small femme Soundwave held.

Shockwave
A quiet hum, close to a low growl, rumbled from Shockwave's vocals in distaste. His focus sharpened on Knockout considerably as he was forced more and more into full consciousness. As much as he was displeased with his orders, they were logical. Very logical. When one was injured, they needed rest. He could feel that he needed rest. It was just logical. But... "Define 'rest'." He couldn't help himself. He couldn't rest until he had overworked himself efficiently. Unlike his body, his mind just couldn't gear down. "Surely small tasks could be taken on by tomorrow." Not that Shockwave's version of "small tasks" was a normal bot's version of them, but Shockwave really wasn't aware of that.

NitroPlug|Femme|Decepticon(?)|Youngling(?)|SoundWave, Megatron, Kestrial

NitroPlug screwed her optics up when he called her an Autobot. All fear of the dangerous Mech left as a new found rage resurfaced. This Mech was just like the seeker she meet earlier, only this time his voice wasn't scratchy and annoying. As Megatron watched her and SoundWave she sent Megatron a quizical look. What was he doing? She wondered as he stroked his chin in thought. As he spoke to SoundWave, the Orange femme clenched her servo's into a fist. His tone and body language made it clear that he was superior to SoundWave. However, she didn't appreciate this Mech insulting her 'Wave . Ontop of that, this large silver beast was making SoundWave shake in fear. Unnacceptable. Clearing her vocals to gain the nameless mech's attention she sent him glare. "Don't call me an Autobot," Nitro hissed, pointing a clawed digit at the war lord, "i'm not a bad guy." She then tightened her grip on SoundWave in a protective hug. "And stop being such a meanie to my 'Wave." NitroPlug added in a snap. Venting out hot air in a huff. Nitro noticed Kestrial sitting off to the side, tiredly watching what was happening. Peeking up at bit as seeing a friendly face, she flashed the Predicon a small smile and a tiny wave. "Hi Dragon." She whispered.

Soundwave

[Joined us.] Said an unrecognizable voice, he wanted to avoid eye contact with Megatron, but if he broke it now he'd probably be in worse trouble than he already most likely was.

[O.G.]

Megatron
He was aware of the femme's changing mood the whole time that he spoke to Soundwave. He watched everything from the corner of his optics--the change of her stare, her clenched servos. It was borderline amusing, but perhaps that was only so because he knew he could crush her under a pede without even using his full weight. He only looked down to the femme when she pointed one tiny claw at him, and, when he looked down at her, his stare was sharp and intolerant. He caught her small digit between two of his own, trapping it in its accusing position. He thought of all the things he could do from there. He could disintegrate the digit by just grinding his claws against it. He could remove her whole arm for her lack of respect towards him. He knew how fast he would gain respect from her if he did. However, he made no move to hurt her. It was Soundwave's protective hold on her which had him refraining. Perhaps his third in command had too much of an influence on his decisions... "Has Soundwave failed to tell you just who I am?" He released her finger by flicking it back to her side. Despite the fact that his question had been directed to the childish femme, he turned his glowing gaze up to Soundwave as the mech answered him. "Joined us," he echoed, giving a delayed, low and very fleeting chuckle afterwards. "And I am sure you very much influenced her decision." He chose his words carefully, sensing that the femme had not simply up and decided to sever her former allegiance with the Autobots for no reason at all. "I seldom question your decisions, Soundwave, but I do not like the way you cling to this femme and how you nearly quake in my presence for a child. We do not rescue helpless bots and make them our worthless pets," he chastised, clearly unhappy and yet conflicted. "If you are going to recruit our misguided enemies, I suggest you select more prudent targets." He paused for a good, long, and thoughtful moment. "However, if you wish to keep the youngling, you had best let her know who she not point chastising fingers at. Tell her who I am, Soundwave," he directed, his optics shifting back down to the femme.

Shockwave

As much as he was displeased with his orders, they were logical. Very logical. When one was injured, they needed rest. He could feel that he needed rest. It was just logical. But... "Define 'rest'."
