[Video | Open to Action]

[quietone]

[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.]

...Well. This is going to get awkward.

[HEEEY LOOK WHO IT IS]

[notoptimus]

[Staring. Cause what the frag? He hasn't seen you probably since you were put in the shadow zone.

They assumed you died.]

Soundwave?

[Oh...this should be interesting.]

Hi, Soundwave.

[Did Soundwave get a paint job? More like wrong Soundwave, Wing...]

...Soundwave...? Are you all right?

[An organic had to respond to this sooner or later. Might as well be Sam, who's watching with an expression of moderate concern.]

[What does a person even say to a network clip like that?]

...Hello?

[works as well as anything]

[There aren't actual vultures here, but lie still long enough and you're bound to attract a much larger, more dangerous creature.

Dirge has not seen the video the drone captured, but he has been watching the unmoving body for a while now from above. A dead mech just propped up on the bridge like that and no one else around? How lucky~

The teal jet stops circling abruptly and begins a dive, switching to robot mode a few yards above the street and using the thrusters on his heels to arrest his fall. His feet still crack the concrete when he lands, however- his landings have never been as graceful as some of the others of his frame type.]

What a beautiful, spiky pile of bits! [He comments, clasping his talons together as he strode closer to the inert figure. The biolights on this one's chassis are just top knotch. A rich bot? The mods alone seemed to imply as much. Dirge crouches next it, staring into the reflective faceplate.]

How exotic... I wonder if there's anything behind it? [His claws reach for the mask, intending to try and pry it off.]

... Dude?

[WHAT]

... Oh my god no way-ohmigod-

[HEY SOUNDWAVE WANNA HEAR A FUN JOKE.

... ITS YOU. YOU'RE THE JOKE]

[Someone is actually wandering in this particular section of nowheresville. While Skyfire puts more effort than other large bots into making sure he doesn't stomp around when he walks, it's still impossible to miss the faint tremor every time the massive old shuttle takes a step.

And he just found what looks like someone in need of some serious help]

... Ex...cuse me?

[Were they alive? He edges in a bit closer, catching sight of the drone caught up in a skinny finger cage]

Oh! You're alive! Are you alright, do you need to refuel? Ah0 Don't destroy your drone, you'll need that for later... I'm sure I have a spare cube on me, just a moment...
