Optics dimming while Orion talked, Megatron stared at the two holos with narrow concentration, resting one hand on Orion's shoulder, twitching the wheel there as he thought.
"Depending on what you can get from this," here he paused to wave at the wall, "and whatever else we might find down here, there's at least one thing those three interpretations seem to agree on, isn't it?"
Reaching out slowly to brush the wall in front of them, with the offending glyph so starkly separated from the ones around it; not a usual appearance in cybertronian writing at all.
"A catastrophic end, though whether that's something personal or societal..." a pause, and Megatron turned his head, arching an upper optic ridge as he looked down at Orion, "since while no one can argue the inevitable end of a scraplet infestation unless it's treated immediately, such a thing could affect only one... or a whole civilisation."
The most interesting thing, to Megatron, was that, and that the glyph (and whatever it referred to) wasn't new. It seemed to be about as old as it could be, after all.
