The stranger managed to slip up to Orion unnoticed as well; he was too busy staring at Megatron to register the sounds of approach, or even sense the new EM field until it pressed cloyingly up against his own. He snapped out of his trance with a head shake, not bothering to keep his frown from showing. How rude.
