Soundwave watched intently as Megatron took in the situation. Reading the figures in the room, piecing together what was happening... He wondered if their Lord would actually speak to introduce his presence to his followers, or if he would simply keep watching until his imposing presence and radiated power could be picked up by Starscream. It didn’t seem he had to wait long however, a bit more banter, a cold statement from the Seeker to cut the conversation abruptly to an end... only to then notice.
How long would it take, how many words would need to be passed before Starscream would throw him to the metaphorical wolves. In a way, Soundwave expected it immediately, an exclaimed SHOCK of Megatron's presence, only to then point a talon his way with a 'He crashed the Nemesis' scream to throw attention off himself. The fact he didn’t do it instantly was interesting, yet not FULLY unexpected. The Second in Command was crafty and may use such a tool at a less impulsive moment to strike out with more force.
If he would get such a chance was questionable.
Gradually, Soundwave's weight rocked back some, mass leaning off of his knee onto the lower half of his ped. He somewhat pushed into a slightly more relaxed posture, though still didn't stand up, remaining in a submissive stance for now. He wanted to be certain to show his respect and subsequent grievance on the slight he made to the Decepticon cause, even if it was birthed out of a rampaging disease that plagued oh so many of their rank and file. He had crippled a large boon they had, and despite his standing, despite his countless years of loyalty and service, it was bound to cause some backlash.
Though, not as much as if Starscream had done the act.
If given opportunity Soundwave wondered if he should simply 'speak' first, to cut to the chase and rob such a joy from Starscream.
The Spymaster was clever; he could bend and wrap conversations from multiple different sources into sound files or even entire sentences. He likely had enough clips of Megatron that he technically COULD have made such a reply if given enough time to mill them out from his drives rather than plucking the most convenient from any source. However, there was always a static hum behind them, a slight clip of a buzz from the sound system he relayed the voices from. There was no way he could have produced commentary that crisp and clean, and the gradual realization seemed to have made Starscream notice just how dire a situation this was.
Oh... what a shift in power.
