[Normally, Soundwave would be sitting at his big computer interface. Today, however, is different -- he seems to be lounging instead. The satellite has realized something.]

NEGATIVE.
STARSCREAM: WAS RETURNED DAMAGED. THEREFORE: RETURNED IN THE WRONG CONDITION.

Yeah,'course it's the wrong condition! But no one's usually returned injured? Is it even the same guy then?
[That seemed to be the most logical conclusion; either whoever had changed their usual course of action, or... It was someone else. That seemed simple enough.]

MODIFICATIONS: MORE COMMON. SUGGESTION: CHECK ALTERNATE STARSCREAM FOR UNREGULATED MODIFICATIONS.

[Sure, Skywarp knows very well where Starscream is, which is good (for his peace of mind), but Starscream is hiding and being very insistent about hiding too. And strident.]

[Starscream is useful. He'd rather have the alternate jet functional again, than remain without another pawn to put into play.]

That's okay, he's--- He's got parts they're just... Generic? I dunno. Waiting for the proper ones an' Starscream ain't coming' out before that [or getting them repainted, probably], it can wait until that can't it?
[Usually, you know, Skywarp wouldn't mind at all making Starscream uncomfortable or torqued off; the glitch deserved it. But this was a little too close to another event and... Soundwave was creepy.]
He hasn't said anything's off. [Skywarp scowls and crosses his arms, relatively sure Starscream would say something. Maybe he'd keep it a secret, but Starscream loves to complain. And shuffle blame onto everything else ever.]

SOUNDWAVE'S VIRAL SCANS: COMPARE TO NONE. ALL ARE: INFERIOR.
SUGGESTION: PROVIDE STARSCREAM'S LOCATION.
SCANS: WILL COMMENCE.
[This particular Starscream is valuable. Useful. Soundwave has no intention of giving up such a pawn so easily.]

I'm sure he's... comin' out soon. Do they have to be done now?
[Starscream was gonna be so torqued if he just went and revealed where he'd put him, but he wasn't going to refuse to give the location away either, if it actually was an order.]

[Oh Skywarp. You seem so close to cracking. Just a little bit more.]

... Okay. [Skywarp even straightens a bit, but he looks disgruntled as he sends the coordinates.] That's where.
[He should just have not replied to this whole recording. Then nothing would have happened and could just have continued to sit throwing rocks. Instead of giving away Starscream's location to the satellite and have Starscream get anrgy later. Ugh.]

EN ROUTE TO GIVEN COORDINATES.
[At least he can pretend that he tracked Starscream all on his own.]
[Consider this a favor, Skywarp. And be ready when he wants one in return.]

[Aw, c'mon why does it have to be a favour?!]
