[ The feed opens to a place that few have seen first hand, and fewer still come out remembering it. There is of course one very notable exception showing the inner workings of the mysterious, leeching land

[ Meet with a fleshling? Not sure about that...but then again, these PORTALS aren't safe, either. ]

Primitive fleshling network compromised. Personal interaction optimal.

[ That means yes. The next thing you get? Is a set of coordinates popping up on your PORTAL, Thad. He's a bot of few words. ]

[Action!]

[stand_witness]

[ It's a bit like putting a pencil behind your ear, actually. Never make the analogy to his faceplate though, because Soundwave's superiority complex does not take well to being compared to a human. ]

Infrared visuals compromised. Accurate count of individual fleshlings unknown.

[ He still hated admitting his faults...but it might account for the willingness to include a language pack for basic English, French, and Spanish conversions of Cybertronian secondary language in the relay.

There. Now Thad has an ( almost ) complete copy of Soundwave's files. What? You didn't think he'd give up every bit of data on the first meeting, did you? ]

Sybstance: Technoplasm, requested research, and development data.

[Action!]

[reverse_impulse]

[Thad never understood doing that either so the analogy likely won't ever come from him.]

I suspect they have more than just fleshlings within. It seems likely they have mechanical beings as well as other creatures that wouldn't show up on infrared.

[Thad looks the pad as he gets it back.]

Development data is recorded in the Technoplasm itself. It will adapt to any dataport so downloading won't be a problem.

[Action!]

[ Soundwave visibly perks up a little at that, and uses one of his servos ( fingers ) to pop the lid off the container. His feeler gently rotated the container, and the liquid within...but as tempting as it was, he was cautious by nature.

First, his datapad is given a small command, and used to induce an electric charge. The green stuff seemed to catch on, and adapted to fit the Cybertronian-made datapad.

Soundwave was as close to 'happy' as he ever came. ]

Query: Substance durability?

[Action!]

[reverse_impulse]

It's as durable as any other nanotechnology. The exact limits are listed within the development data. Extreme cold and highspeed vibrations are its largest vulnerabilities. Technoplasm constructs can become far more durable with proper programming though.

[Action!]

[stand_witness]

[ Goodness. Not unlike Cybertronian weaknesses. A fact which Soundwave demonstrates when he pours the green goo out again, into the "palm" of one large, and very flat wing-tip shaped "hands" so that it could be put through it's paces in reverse;
First the replica of Thad, then each of it's geometric shapes in rapid succession. If he reverse engineered this stuff right, it would be the best tool her had in his arsenal--

...Oh yes. The human is still here. Soundwave let the Technoplasm settle into it's neutral gel form in his hand, and looked up at Thad as he poured it back into the container, and sealed it. ]

Transfer complete.

[ Starting to stand up, and leave unless Thad has something else to say about it.
...He really is a bot of few words. ]

[Action!]

[reverse_impulse]

[Thad watches the demonstration with disinterest. He nods when things finish, brushing a hand through his hair.]

Very well. I will be in touch after I create more Technoplasm. Hopefully this arrangement will lead to an exit from this absurd city sooner rather than later.

[With little more than another nod, Thad turns. And suddenly, he's gone in a blur of green and black.]
