[Ganondorf's comm has decided he hasn't been talkative enough. So he's gotten a nice face full of water. Lovely.]

Does this thing require I prattle endlessly?

[A pause.]

Shockwave, I trust your peace negotiations are going well?

How foolish of me.

Why promote peace, when I could be offering myself up to be offlined?

[heavyweaponsbot]

There is no peace with them! There never will be!

Quit wasting your time and risking your spark.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

Not when you ignore every diplomatic alternative.

Both are mine to waste, when last I checked.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah? Just how well has it ever worked with them?

...

Mmn.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

Has Shockwave attacked you first?

[heavyweaponsbot]

... he has not had the opportunity.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

That could be because you have always struck first.

Have you considered that he would not have retaliated, if you had not?

[heavyweaponsbot]

He is a Decepticon. That is what they do.

... Am I to believe that Megatron trained all of his troops that way?

[heavyweaponsbot]

[There is a long, stunned silence. Ratchet... knows. How could he... say that when he knows? The silence continues, and when he speaks, his voice is tight, controlled.]

. . .

Not all his troops.
