“And most Autobots I come across eagerly point a gun at my face. Yet you insist on colluding with their kind.” Soundwave’s just gonna…kneel. It’s easier to negotiate when you can look your partner in the optic. “What would it take to convince you?”
Well… he had her there. He had a point, but Sophie is stubborn. She wouldn’t openly admit it, even if he’s staring right into her soul. So she’s going to stare back. “Let’s start by telling me what happened from the beginning. Tell me why you joined the Decepticon cause, and what it personally stands for you.”
“If you must know, I did not join the Decepticon cause. I merely followed my organization to its natural conclusion,” Soundwave says. “Megatron and Optimus each headed one half of Cybertron’s governing body. Megatron’s segment oversaw the military and intelligence fields. Obviously, I was conscripted into the latter. When he saw fit to seize power from the Prime, I followed.”
Personally, without Megatron, the cause means absolutely nothing to him. Soundwave kind of hopes she won’t notice. But if she does, he will admit, in a small, private part of his processor, that he’s proud she’s reading in between the lines.
