But before you can get a good glimpse of it, a massive figure with a gun almost as large as he is steps in to block your path. ]
All right, that's far enough!

Certainly not Earth. That's almost refreshing.
Gently, he scratches Dug behind the ears, looking at the guards. He changes his voice to the more human-sounding version he's been acquainting most people with. "Joe".
He pushes up his sunglasses.]
Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? Or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
[Human mythology. Many different flavors. Some more curious than others. It took some thinking and defining of his personal data to define what the message meant.]

Yeah, you're a regular orator, all right. Anyway, he's toward the back, go on. Your animal here have all his shots?

Here you'll find very little for sale but a great deal to barter for. Some of the merchants, seeing you, might even be interested in making use of your talents. You can get anything here-- for the right price. ]

Now, it's a matter of survival, instead of having the comfort.
It is what it is.
Soundwave will progress to Lev in due time. Not as a confrontation, but for data. That's what it's always about.
Here, he'll see if there's anything that catches his eye.]

He tries to catch Soundwave's gaze, stepping forward. ]
Hey. Hey you. You from up top? You look it, you stand out. Hey I got lots of stuff you can't get up top. You wanna see?

He turns his head when the merchant approaches, then folds his arms as he peers at him.]
Depends on what you have. What is being offered?

It's clear you can't take any of these out for a spin... but you might like to ask what the large mobile suit kneeling in the corner is for. ]

Things like information.
He wasn't normally the sort to go digging for intel - that, after all, was the place of communications officers. However, he obviously didn't have his communications officer at present (indeed, he suspected that if his former comm officer knew that he was in this reality and alive, said comm officer might attempt to kill him. Or at least make his unlife considerably more unpleasant) and so he was forced to rely on old methods.
No matter. He had been originally specced as a scientist, after all. Gathering data was an integral part of his programming.
So. His intent was to find a computer terminal, slip inside and cruise whatever poor excuse for a network these humans kept. Hopefully they didn't have any strong AI in there, and hopefully they didn't have anything that would detect a bundle of sentient positrons ( ... )

If you've gained Lev's trust or schmoozed your way past the guards, the techs might be amenable to explaining about their operations a little. But don't touch, please. ]
