[ video | day ] 'cause one of us is gonna die young
[ A few of Promenade's residents may recognize the area that Rebecca is sitting in as Tony Stark's workshop -- or at least, what was Tony Stark's workshop. It's bare of the Iron Man suits and everything else that was identifiable as belonging to Stark Industries, along with a few things that weren't. Rebecca is sitting in Tony's chair with a book

[ Don't mind Soundwave, he'll just be creeping all over your posts now, Rebecca. ]

I'll trade you.

Him? Join the fleshling resistance? Somehow this was both morbidly ironic, and yet fitting all at the same time. ]
Counter proposal: Data exchange with fleshling group does not supersede personal loyalties.
[ He's a Decepticon first, Rebecca, but a practical bot as well. ]
Personal alliance with ID; Rebecca_Crane. Personal loyalties extend no further.
[ I'll work WITH you but I'll never work FOR you. ]

And we're not all fleshlings, you know.
[ She's got her own group to stick with, too... even if she has a feeling she may need to break one of the creeds and let people know that she's an assassin now. ]
That works for me. You'll still be considered part of the resistance, though, if only because it's still basically the same goal: information and getting the hell out.
[ Which means that if you betray them, she will personally upload viruses into your system. ]

[ Soundwave is a good spy because he knows when to make adjustments. He still has a big superiority complex. He still has next to no regard for humans.
He still needs access to their networks, though. He's too cut off from his resources, and he knows it. ]
Primitive fleshling network compromised. Personal interaction optimal.
Recorded audio, video, infrared, files upload for trade.
Further data exchange negotiated on arrival.

[ She's not letting him into Tony's place or her warehouse right now, not alone, so she's going to head for the building Malik had been working on while he was in Prom. She can meet him on the roof. ]

What a strange place. Fitting though. At least he felt a little better about his deal with this fleshling if she had the good sense to meet with an unknown factor away from personal bases of operation.
And as was becoming habit, Soundwave's engines didn't cut until he was nearly at impact range. Only then did he rev once, pull out of his dive, and transform in freefall so that his bases made impact with the street outside.
Scanning structure to find a suitable entrance...]

It's all locked up below. Sealed in, for the most part, and you won't be able to fit through anything that isn't.
[ She moves away from the edge of the roof then, and if Soundwave is listening, he'll hear a soft 'click' after a few moments. ]
It's all opened up here, though.
[ "It" is basically a large square hole in the roof where there was once nothing but the building itself. ]

At least he didn't have to stoop in here. A touch claustrophobic-feeling, still. Though, he could have sent a drone to interact with Rebecca, and crawled inside any imaginable crevice, it seemed...bad form. ]

Good thing she's not planning on holding the meeting here, or there would be next to no space for anyone else. ]
All right? Not too tight in here?

Not.

Well, that's good. Let me know if you need to get out of here or are stuck or anything.
[ That's about the most of being a good host she can provide -- it's not like she can offer him a drink. ]
So. That trade of ours.
