[Video | Open to Action]

[Another day, another drone activating to record someone without their knowledge. It takes a moment for it to focus in on said unsuspecting victim, but when it does? There’s a Cybertronian sitting slumped against a battered looking bridge in the East. A Cybertronian that likely looks familiar, what with the long arms, oddly jointed legs and blank screen where a face should be. But the paint job is a dark blue, almost black in places, with purple biolights covering the torso.]

[Soundwave doesn’t appear to be moving though. And with no visible face it’s hard to tell if he’s just recharging or knocked out or… well…]

[He might not have been able to interact with anything in the Shadowzone, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t using up fuel. Shortly after he’d heard Megatron’s death, the Autobots rounding up all the remaining Decepticons on the ship, and seen the restoration of Cybertron, Soundwave had forced himself into recharge. He… needed to figure out what his next move was going to be and for that he needed a clear mind. Watching everything he had worked for suddenly falling apart wasn’t conducive to being able to think through a problem logically.]

[Luckily for anyone who was worried, when the drone gets bored of recording a motionless body, it moves closer to perch on Soundwave’s leg and he jerks, creepy long fingers grabbing the poor thing before the feed cuts.]

[Yeah he killed you because you jumped at him like a dumbaft. One doesn't just jump at Megatron.]

[Even if Bee doesn't look actively afraid of him, the way he goes rigid and looks conflicted is gratifying. And his words make it clear why he's conflicted. Leave it to an Autobot to claim they were sending help and follow it with a threat.]

[Soundwave forces his limbs to move, ignoring the grinding noise they make as he gets up. It's been a while since he actually had a reason to move. He's pushed through worse pain though. And he's not about to let Bee's "help" find him. That help would probably end with him in a prison.]

-no--Help-

[Shove it up your tailpipe.]

[He was bringing Optimus a sword and no where near him, god. Plus Megatron crushed his vocoder, he deserved it.

Also Soundwave might note he's not moved, not moved to actually go out there. Even if he can get the drone's coordinates]

Then stay there, and wait for someone to come help. Knock Out and Breakdown are both here.

[Look if you hadn’t sided with the Autobots you would have been fine. So it’s still your fault Bee.]

[He did notice Bee didn’t appear to be moving, but he also doesn’t trust the other. At all. For all he knew, Bee could be stalling until Optimus comes to “help” him. Getting captured had been entertaining the once but he wasn’t eager to repeat the experience.]

[Soundwave just gives the little yellow Autobot another look. There’s absolutely no reason for him to believe that. Especially the Breakdown part.]
