Soundwave didn't like that he was placing the seeker group in danger, he was a flier after all, and raised by seekers himself, but he also didn't like that they had taken his minicon as a hostage. Though he new enough that they were treating her well. He just didn't want to lose his last minicon. 

He already knew how torn Starscream was over this seeker issue, he could see it from the looks on his face, he wasn't one who could easily control his facial expressions. That and his body posture looked stressed and worried, he was an easy book to read, especially if you know seeker body language well. 

Soundwave always knew the seekers for being a very body language centeric race. They could easily speak the emotions they couldn't find words for through their body posturing and facical expressions. Not that any of that really mattered to most fliers and grounders, they really didn't care much about it, instead speaking their emotions. 

Soundwave went out of his way to avoid Starscream as of late. He didn't want to be faced with the seekers negotiations, mostly because he felt that the seeker could probably sway him away from doing something with the seekers. Even now Soundwave is going against is own word by going to get his minicon. 

The drone bot followed the pulsing life signal of his minicon towards what he only assumed was the seekers base camp. His minicon was fine, and he knew that, but he could not wait for Megatron to take action, not this time. 

Soon he found the source of the signal his mini was giving off, and there wasn't anything there? That doesn't make any sense, the video feed from his minicon shows a whole camp set up. Unexpectedly the sky rippled around him as he flew through something. The camp was not plainly seen below him, so a cloaking device was placed around the camp then? It makes the most sense. 

Slowly Soundwave circled above the camp before decending silently. Softly landing Soundwave glanced around, no one was active at the moment it looks like. His attention was drawn away from his perimeter check by the soft beep. He looked towards the sound and was relieved to see his minicon resting safely in a cage sending him response calls. 

Soundwave moved over to the cage and crouched down and reached between the bars to stroke gently over the minicons helm. The minicon gave her flight adjusters a flick as soundwave got to work opening the cage to free his minicon. He soon did the cage opening. 

Lazerbeak hovered towards him and clipped to her spot on his chassis plating relieved as well to be back with him. As Soundwave was about to stand a blade at the backof his neck struts stopped him.

¨Stay down.¨ The seeker hissed lowly at him their odd shaped wings flicking indigniantly, ¨Or die.¨
