[stand_witness]

[ There is no coordinates on the short video feed, but a timestamp does appear at the lower right hand corner. It's only the image of the Nemesis, though, just...floating. Yes, that's a fully capable Decepticon warship floating somewhere off the coast of Promenade. ]

[...Wow, Soundwave. That's...

Really. Obvious.]

Function (Soundwave): surveillance.

Purpose: publicizing base of operations?

[Did Rinzler forget to encrypt that? Oops.]

[ Silly, program. There's no way anybody would not notice the GIANT WARSHIP floating over Promenade at random intervals. When you can't hide something, you reveal it, and use it as bait. ]

Variable location, cloaking technology more than adequate
Purpose: Information

[ And did he leave this unlocked? Why yes he did. ]

[text]

[notglitching]

[Yes, because things work much better when any passing user-or program-can connect said warship with your network ID.]

Location identifiable.
Effectiveness (cloaking technology): low.

[No matter what kind of cloak you use, the energy signature from something that large has to be massive. Rinzler doesn't doubt he could track it, even without the convenient video data to serve as a start.]

Information acknowledged. [And thanks. He'll put it to good use.]

Familiarity with standard Cybertronian energy signatures?

That's a pretty ship. It reminds me of a Pokémon.

What's an Autobot?

[ Comparing the Nemesis to a drone? Soundwave does not approve B| ]

Autobot: Cybertronian enemy classification
Query: Explain "It reminds me of a Pokémon"?

[aseparateworld]

[He told you they are not drones. :| And comparing things to Pokémon is a compliment coming from N.]

You have enemies here?

Oh, not one Pokémon in particular, but its shape and substance remind me of a steel type in a way. Some of them can float.

[ Walks like a drone, transmits data like a drone, is governed by a remote operator like a drone? It's a drone. Well, in Soundwave's book that is. ]

Negative

[ Because they've either left the city, or been murdered neutralized.
But, hang on, just how many HUGE drones do you have, N?! ]

Query: "Pokemon" classes, schematics to scale?
