Movies, television. They were all quite illuminating, and certainly helped to understand humans better, even if they had a tendency to be over dramatic and not very realistic. Shockwave still learned a lot from them, and did - in some sense - enjoy them. They were certainly capable of keeping his attention for long periods of time. Specifically soap operas, as when he and Blitzwing had first discovered them, they had zoned out from the real world for quite a few hours just watching the stupidity and trying to make sense of it all.

So what better way to try and get him mind off of work, for just an hour or two. The stress wasn't good for him, and he couldn't afford to mess up his plan to get Soundwave back. It was much to important.

So a good somewhat action, but mostly drama movie? Best way to try and de-stress.

Shockwave shuffled his way into the theater, and sat back in a chair, almost directly behind Samus. Leaning back and propping his feet up on the back of the chair in front of him.

Slag yeah, human entertainment.

The theater was huge, stadium seating, surely enough room to be that creeper in the back or that over-eager sweaty kid in the front. Even just a happy medium in the middle. The the fact that someone sat nearly right behind Samus managed to make her tense up. Just old reflexes, though, no need to make this excursion anything more than that.

But he put his feet up on the chair. What kind of a fiend would do such a thing? It could bend the screws holding it down, cause it to become uncomfortable to any other cinema-loving patron who might live to sit in that one chair.

Plus it was kind of rude.

Samus turned slightly and frowned at the culprit, Shockwave. She expected a being as logical as that to know better than to sully the public's seats.

"What if someone wants to sit there?"

forever late

The spot was ideal, a good location in the room. One which would likely allow for best view, best sound, and just all around comfort. The fact that there was someone in the row before him, hardly mattered.

Or at least it hardly mattered until that person saw fit to turn around and scold him.

Samus. A difficult human to forget, given he first met her at the Marker when it had been present. It was difficult to forget that structure, and the female that had been present when he'd been studying it. Not to mention she had such nice taste in armor. That gun arm.

"There is no one else in here." he glanced around, no. Certainly no one. There was enough people on the station, but the chances of them all choosing to cram into one theater was unlikely.

Conrit has seen movies before. Guivres was fond of them, and while he spent more time cuddling up with his girlfriend than actually watching the films, he was willing to take Conrit to see things while Ladon was busy, if only so the hatchling would stop bothering him about being bored.

Usually they were black and white and hard to understand, and when any kind of text appeared on the screen Conrit had to just guess what it said. But they were amazing none-the-less, there was nothing like them in the caves. There were just stories the older dragons told the younger ones-- but those didn't have moving pictures and music and things. So when Conrit spotted the theater and recognized the seats and the big screen, he scurried in and hopped in a chair, thankful for the familiarity. Maybe for a little bit he could pretend he was back in Nieve instead of in some even-more-scary place.

There was a lady sitting further down the row from him. He glanced at her a few times, swinging his feet idly.

Samus had seen few children on the station, and thought better of it. Children being suddenly ripped from guardians and thrown into a new situation, a new place wasn't something she would wish on any young ones. Samus Aran: A heart of stone until it came to the kids. So seeing a small scampering form in the theater cast a shadow of worry on her face.

The dim light on the screen illuminated the boy's features, he seemed well enough. However Samus wouldn't just sit back and accept his presence without a bit of needling.

"Do you have a guardian with you?"

Conrit was slowly starting to enjoy being on his own with no one to tell him what to do. Even better than that, he hadn't needed his cane since he'd popped up! However, he missed his brother and everyone back in Nieve. Being on his own was okay in some ways, but still rather frightening and lonely in others.

He shook his head at her question. "Mister Guivres usually takes me to see talkies, but he's back in Nieve with everyone else."

"Hm."

Samus frowned in thought, staring down at the boy. He was alone here, and yet he didn't seem terribly upset about the matter. Maybe lonliness was something he was used to, another troubling thought.

"I'm sorry about that.
