"I think some would claim that those are the ones you should be the most guarded against... But I assume that applies only if you have some reason to fear someone having easy access to you while at your most vulnerable." Megatron snorted, not moving as Optimus got up; for once it was not a dig against Optimus, or even the Primes in particular, but rather an observation of the goals of someone in power, what they were after, the sort of culture they cultivated around themselves...
He was fully aware that he might end up in that category himself, merely because of what he had to do and what sort of mechs he might have to attract just to be able to do what he had to do... Unless, perhaps, things went differently.
(He would never conciously admit to perhaps needing checks and balances to remain an effective leader, and he was probably not that insightful.)
"I'm sure they've all languished without you, Prime. Go. I'm impressed you even stayed until I woke up." That last sentence meant several things, really. Impressed he'd taken the risk, even if the chance that the shell program was still active was nearly null, since it had deactivated after activating the override and the sub-routine. Impressed, perhaps, of the implied caring, despite the situation.

He wasn't sure what to think of that, truly.
