"We--- Can't let general panic spread, and considering how difficult the sparkeaters are to handle, that's what would happen." Despite the obvious nervousness - widened, slightly too-bright optics, a slight hunch away from the looming Prime - Steeltread's speech was curiously self-assured, modifying glyphs used that underscored concern and belief in his own actions.
"I can't do much about the sacrifices what with the greater amount of drones around, which doesn't draw sparkeaters like sparked mechs do," Steeltread said with a shrug, even if there was a spike in trhe nervousness, as if he was well aware of how that seeming dismissal over the importance of the miners' lives appeared.
"... Sparkeaters aren't something anyone can effectively deal with, Prime. There's no reason for you to endanger yourself."
Megatron snorted, treads moving enough to grin against their paths as he shifted his stance but didn't otherwise move from the wall. The unfortunate thing was that Steeltread wasn't... exactly... wrong, but that didn't make the dismissal any less grating.
