[ Oh look, it's Prism again--still stuck in the body of one of Liege Maximo's Acolytes. He doesn't appear any worse for wear otherwise, and he's currently seated on the berth that occupies one corner of his quarters. ]

Hello!

[ Still as perky as ever, if his bright tone is any indication. ]

How are you all? Well, I hope. Personally I'm rather bored. Incarceration is a dull affair, although I fail to see how this qualifies as any sort of punishment.

That said, I have a simple proposition.

Either Hal Nine-Thousand is brought to me immediately, or I will begin systematically detonating the devices currently implanted within several members of the population.

But you don't wanna be near him, right?

Not while he is a threat to this body and my life. When we were both bio-synthetic, or both mechanical, it was a non-issue. As he is only robotic while I am both partially mechanical and bio-synthetic, he is a greater threat to me than before. He's proved this before. It was... unpleasant.

I... I'm sorry to hear that.

[Weh. Weh, he can't cry about that right now, especially in public.]

You don't have to see him at all, okay? You really don't.

[There there, Soundwave. There there.]

I would rather not be responsible for the death of several individuals who have done nothing to deserve it.

[It's different when two astronauts threatened to shut him down, then it's okay to murder, but this is simply uncalled for.]

You don't deserve to end up back with him, either, though.

[ Prism laughs. ]

You'd be surprised at what Hal deserves.

As if I'm gonna listen to you!

I would tell you to ask Hal all about it, but ever since I granted him the ability to lie he has taken to making full use of it.

Lemme think here. You lied to me, you shot me a few times, you messed around with my insides, and you tried to hack me.

All Hal's ever done is talk to me a bit and he's been pretty nice.

Not much of a contest right now, Prism. Frag off.

Now now, no need to get touchy.

As if I don't got a good reason to be?!

[Wow, guess who doesn't like being reminded that he can contort his prime function?]

Would you please stop?

Do you have a little problem with the truth, Hal?

I'm rather sure you don't pay enough attention to know what I do and do not have an issue with.
