Two weeks. Shockwave had been transported in two weeks ago, and still hadn't gotten around to fully researching the layout of the City. There had been other matters that had taken priority within his process- no. Within his mind. Reading the comm, figuring out who was who, what was known, list of powers, what kind of people, basics. Most importantly researching the human body. The experiments that he could continue to work on, would not have the same effect they would back home. Not with an organic body anyways. So he was branching out, expanding his knowledge.

Well, in between adjusting to his new body. The constant need to refuel was...distracting, but not something he wasn't used to. Still he had just solved the energy problem, and reverting back to this was far from favorable

This is an excellent step, he believes. And quietly, he's glad that it's being considered. Although Starscream's competence is consistently under question, Soundwave is somewhat relieved that this meeting is taking place. Allying with GLaDOS will come with much potential.

She is gifted with a very, very lucky ability indeed, and her intentions are complimentary to the Decepticon cause.

It should work out.

Soundwave enters silently, far more quiet than usual -- under his discretion. He's still learning how to perfect his abilities, but muting sounds comes easier than anything else right now. As he steps inside, he isn't quite looking where he's going, idly typing away at his hand held device

By now GLaDOS has learned that an agile body -- a mobile one -- has its uses. True, there were drawbacks, but such would be the case with any modification; she felt confident now, however, that the positives in this instance outweighed the negatives. What she had told Starscream was true, there was a question of optimization when human tissue and other organics had limits that things such as metal did not -- but as it stood, in this body, she was free to move around the City in whichever way and fashion she desired

sooo order is I suppose starscream -> shockwave -> soundwave -> glados unless we decide otherwise?

[loltraitorlol]

Starscream represses a sigh. Dealing with these two is going to be fun, oh yes. Both monotone, expressionless weirdos at once. How entertaining, oh yes. He nods politely to both of them

sorry for the super late tag

Shockwave gave a slight dip of his head in acknowledgment as Soundwave arrived. The differences between this Soundwave, and the one from his universe were practically non-existent, which was proving to be rather beneficial. He could not have asked for a more favorable situation, and one that fit in so well with his plans. Plans that would soon need recalculating, and factoring in every bit of knowledge that would arise during this little meeting.

He was intrigued by GLaDOS, the HPD, and all the data that could be gained from such a meet. It had been more then enough in getting him to go, but certainly wasn't the only reason he had agreed. Keeping an eye on Starscream had been the second reason. Something he could have asked Soundwave to do, but at present it was something he wanted to do himself. Far too many variables, not enough control, and-

Cake.

Wait, cake? His gaze shifted to the woman. So, this was GLaDOS.

He gave an actual nod, "Hello."

no love for you, 'wave bro.

[allshock_notalk]

There is some experimentation here. Not that he's ever been much of a scientist, but flexing his powers, knowing how to make them work -- has been proving to be interesting. He tilts his head, just a bit. Sounds do not change to their ears, but it's easier if there are no... eavesdroppers.

So the language changes to the civilians around them. The Earth creatures have no business listening in if they are meant to pretend to be mere humans. Especially if Starscream plans to verbally impress GLaDOS.

"GREETINGS, GLaDOS." Soundwave murmurs, but politely.

He has seen her powers before, and gladly so. Albeit he is not one for the inflated ego like Starscream, he is pleased with himself for having spoken to her and meeting her in person.

It was well worth it, to know how valuable she will be.

--Cake, though. He hasn't really tried. His diet has been extremely specific thus far, of his own choice. Vaguely, and barely, a blue brow raises.

HOMG NO FORMATTING /deletes it.

GLaDOS smiled at the greeting she received -- though she noted with vague interest the difference in speech processing between the one designated Starscream and the two others. She wondered absently if he was a different model -- and if Decepticons came with models at all -- or whether Starscream's sentience had been implanted with a Politeness core. In the back of her mind she made a note to query one of the others further, but for now, she continued to smile, her gaze lingering a bit longer on their self-declared leader.

"DECEPTICONS HELLO. I AM THE GENETIC LIFEFORM and DISC OPERATING SYSTEM KNOWN AS GLaDOS." Carefully she lowered herself into the last remaining seat, placing her comm on the table in front of her, the tips of her fingers resting lightly on the keyboard. As she spoke the screen of comm continued to wink and dance as she absently combed, processed and categorized all the data streaming in from the Network; even in this body her processing power was still vast, so she did what she could to store and collate

Starscream sat back down, a little disturbed by her fixed smile. He couldn't decide which was worse: that, or Shockwave's perpetually blank expression. Still, his discomfort didn't show on his face.

He found the fact that she could apparently directly interface with the network fascinating, and potentially extremely useful. While he was a talented hacker, his abilities only went so far.

Right. To business.

"GLaDOS. From our conversations I believe you are a... scientist of some sort. Or at least, you were programmed to conduct experiments, yes?"

At that moment, the waitress came back with cake for everyone - for each, a slice of several layered chocolate cake, complete with a maraschino cherry.
