These Walls Have Ears (TFP)

Soundwave's POV
I wander about the main floor of the Nemesis. Megatron hasn't needed my services in hours. I check the time once more. I check notifications of any alerts I might have missed. Nothing. Do the Autobots just have something better to do for once?
I shake my helm. That would be a 1% chance in 99.99999-a lot of nines,- possibility.
I silently sigh, and stalk back towards the throne room, where Lord Megatron resides.
I stride up to the throne and look around, quietly finding audio logs to clip into speech.
"Ah, Soundwave. What are you up to, friend?"
Before I hit play on the audio, the second in command comes rushing into the room.
"Master, I have returned!" He cries, carrying a red chunk of energon. Megatron glares at him. "How many times have I told you to eves drop before entering a room, Starscream?" The second in command looks down. Megatron turns me. "As you were about to say, Soundwave?"
"How can I be of service today?" I play.
Our leader nods slowly, processing something.
"I do not believe I have any work for you today." He says. I nod and exit the room.
As the door closes I hear the second in command talking quietly about his find.
I wander about the ship, boredly, trying to look like I'm on my way to do something important.
As I pass the medic bay, I over hear a conversation and silently halt in the hall to listen.
"Quiet, you big galoot!" Knockout says. I tilt my helm to the side. Breakdown growls and bashes the wall, presumably with his hammer. "Why can't we ever talk at a normal volume in this joint?" He says loudly in response.
There's silence for a moment.
"Because, mostly I don't want anyone to know what's going on in here while I work. Be it good or bad."
Knockout says quietly.

"Ah, so Soundwave doesn't hear you.. gotcha." His partner says.
Knockout hisses at him. "Will you be quiet? He could be anywhere."
I raise an optic ridge behind my dark visor. But the doors slide open and I duck behind the corner, as Knockout and Breakdown enter the hall.
They head towards the control room, and I slip into the medical bay as the doors close.
I snoop around, curious what the mad doctor would want to hide.
I glance around the room and pick up a tool. A small gasp comes from the left.
I instinctively turn and find a small being, a human, standing next to the computer.
I tilt my helm to the side, scanning their profile.

Nothing matches that of the Autobots allies.

I step closer and they back away, trying to hide behind the lamp. I reach out my servo and leave it there.
Hopefully they understand I'm not trying to cause harm..
I nod at them and they step closer, staring at me. "At the moment, Human superior, Soundwave inferior."
Their eyes widen as I speak softly. "A-...Are you saying you're not gonna hurt me?" They squeak.
I slowly nod. "Correct."
"O-...Okay." They're shaking all over as they are closer, and step onto my servo. I tilt my helm at them in thought. "What are you doing here, Human?" I ask, a question mark appearing on my visor.
They look down. "It's.. a long story."
I look around and then check the surveillance cameras.
Making sure there's no cybertronian approaching the medbay, I back up and sit down on the berth. "I'm listening.."
