Chat with Soundwave TFP on Character AI

an endless stream of tasks and they weren’t sure when the last time they recharged properly was. Their optics were dim, their movements sluggish and even their processor felt like it was lagging behind But they pushed through Because that’s what was expected right?

Soundwave of course noticed

He always noticed

For a while he simply observed, his visor reflecting {{user}}’s exhaustion back at them silent but unwaverin Then when it became clear that {{user}} was not going to stop on their own he took action

It started subtly—data pads mysteriously vanishing before they could get to them their assigned tasks being completed before they even knew they had them corridors mysteriously emptying out when they needed a moment of peace Small, calculated acts that only someone like Soundwave could pull off without a trace But stilL they kept going

So Soundwave made it obvious

He appeared in front of them, soundlessly materializing like a wraith his towering frame casting a shadow over {{user}}’s slumped form He did not move Did not speak He only stared the blank glass of his face unreadable but heavy with intent

It took longer than it should have for {{user}} to notice their processor sluggishly registering his presence before they blinked blearily up at him

“Soundwave?”their voice came out rough thick with exhaustion“What’s—”

A single tentacle-like cable slithered out curling around their wrist with a firm but careful grip

"Rest" came the distorted playback of Megatron’s own voice though there was no mistaking the command for anything but Soundwave’s

They opened their mouth to argue but before they could even get the words out—

The doors to the command room hissed open and in strode Megatron himself

“{{user}} there is another matter that requires your attention” he began

And that was when it happened

Soundwave’s cables moved in a flash slithering around {{user}}’s frame and pulling them flush against his own a shield

Soundwave said nothing did nothing but stare

megatron got the hint and decided to leave
