don't meddle with the mind you don't know what you'll find

WHO: Shockawkward & Soundawkward
WHERE: Dancitron
WHEN: After Dancitron closes for the night.
WARNINGS: Awkward, probably a lot of glares, idk what else
SUMMARY: The 'Waves have been avoiding each other because of what happened during the Desire event. They finally talk about it. It's kinda like that one episode of A Single Potato.
FORMAT: Whatever the bossy person says.

[It's been a few days. A few days since they've actually spoken. Soundwave has been avoiding him, he knows. But. He's been doing the same thing really - as illogical as it is. He knows this has to be taken care of, and the sooner it was, the better. This could not be allowed to interfere with work. Hn. Desire. Troublesome.]

[Quietly he makes his way into Dancitron, the scientist could not say he was looking forward to this little chat.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[That definitely causes a stare.]

...MEGATRON.
DEFINE WHY.

Megatron was no longer fit to lead. He was illogical leading the Decepticons to nothing but their own destruction. Logic had dictated his removal, and I had to act upon that. He had broken up my attempts at returning the planet to a peaceful state before, it would not be permitted to happen again. His return would have been enough cause for the war to return, so he had to be terminated.

[His own personal loyalty to Megatron causes him to glower at this data. Logic dictated his termination. Then again, Soundwave did stand by and permit Starscream to throw Megatron out of Astrotrain -- for his own survival's sake. And what Megatron became afterward had devastated the Decepticons.]

[Troublesome. What would have been the best option? His loyalty informs him that the termination of Megatron is wrong, but Megatron hasn't always made the best decisions.]

QUERY. WHAT DID THE REMAINING DECEPTICONS DO?

[Shockwave doesn't quite get it. He sees no problem with what he did. Cybertron was actually thriving with what he had done. They were going to complete their primary function, something of which Megatron had never even gotten close to completing.]

They surrendered to me an my triple changer troop.

[Soundwave maintains his passive look; the triple changers. No wonder Shockwave became so terribly excited when Blitzwing arrived.]

BLITZWING: INCLUDED?

[Obsessed with an idea. The triple changers were the successful results of that idea, superior to normal Cybertronians. He had built them that way after all.]

Mm, correct. The Blitzwing of my universe was my lieutenant and my bodyguard.

[He would not have gone without him. He did play favourites.]

QUERY: MORE COMPETENT?

[He would hope so.]

Quite.

[A pause.]

... I would say he is even more loyal than you are.

[Definitely tries not to scowl at that.]

ELABORATE.

Blitzwing gets rather protective the very astrosecond I get attacked. You... tend to just stand around when Megatron is attacked.

MEGATRON: PRIDEFUL.
ALWAYS CALLED IT INSULTING IF I STEPPED IN--

[Hn. What does Shockwave know?]

REMINDER. I AM NOT THE SOUNDWAVE FROM YOUR WORLD.

Megatron's pride is the reason Cybertron was forced to go through the Great Shutdown. His pride was the reason the war lasted as long as it did, why he refused to tell me things - like his little army he came back with that I had to clone with absolutely no information on whatsoever.

[So many things Megatron had done because of his pride. His ego. Unfortunate that he had been loyal for so long, he had just brushed it off.]

You may not be, but you are similar enough.

PRIDE AND EGO: TYPICAL OF DECEPTICONS.
OBVIOUSLY: YOURSELF INCLUDED.

[He shrugs. He has no idea of how similar he is to the one Shockwave knows. It doesn't matter.]

Hnn. That would be illogical.

YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN ILLOGICAL.

I was not myself at the time. I hardly see how that counts.

HN. YOU DENY IT COMPLETELY?

...

No. I cannot deny that it happened.

AFFIRMATIVE.
JUST AS I CANNOT.

Had I not been without logic at the time, it would have never happened.

[Probably. He's not so sure anymore, but he does not doubt that logic would not approve of such things.]

LOGIC WILL ALWAYS DICTATE YOUR ACTIONS?

Is there a problem with that?

[Avoids answering.]

NEGATIVE.
I AM CURIOUS.

[There isn't much he can do if Shockwave is locked with this choice.]

It often will, however I cannot say that it always will. You have already been present when it has not dictated my actions.

[Something of which he really planned on fixing.]

I AM AWARE.
YOU PREFER LOGIC?

level 83. you are now the grand scholar.

ooooooooo. so i get to do coll things.
