Lazerbeak

There, there were thrones arranged similarly to the cabins at Camp Half-Blood, except there were only thirteen. I could recognize Poseidon, Ares, Apollo, and Hephaestus's thrones, as they were the most striking of the group. I recognized Zeus and Hera's thrones due to their position at the head.

As I was recording, the Olympian gods came into the throne room, prompting me to hide. I hid as best I could while having as best a view as I could. They seemed to be gathering for a meeting. They sat in their respective thrones, got settled, and began.

"You all know why I called this meeting, correct?" the god with salt-and-pepper hair asked.

The one I assumed was Poseidon responded, "We do brother."

"Good. Now, the arrival of this...alien, has brought on plenty of implications."

"Soundwave has declared that he is from another universe, so the implications, while plentiful, shouldn't be severe." a woman clad in armor declared.

Zeus questioned, "Soundwave?"

"That is his name, father." Apollo answered.

"I wasn't talking to you! You are already on thin Ice as it is, and that is without your 'claiming' stunt!" Zeus snapped.

A black-haired man who resembled Nico pipped in, "To be fair, Athena and Hephaestus also tried to claim him, so Apollo is not entirely at fault."

"Hades, I did not ask you either!"

Hephaestus remarked, "I say we let him be for now, see what he does, and consider the possibilities."

The one who resembled a soldier yelled, "I say we blast that thing straight to the underworld!"

"Why? I have no problem with him, and seeing as they tried to claim him, Athena, Apollo, and Hephaestus don't either." Mr. D responded.

"Because he is a threat!"

"It's not his fault your head kid got whooped. In my eyes, she (fragged) around and found out." Poseidon retorted.

The warlike one, probably Ares, yelled, "Don't give me your sass!"

"Could we have just one peaceful meeting?" the goddess in the plant seat exasperatedly asked.

"It appears the answer is no." the huntress goddess Artemis responded.

The woman sitting next to Zeus, probably Hera, asked, "Can we please get back to the topic at hand here?"

Apollo remarked, "Look, all I'll say is that Soundwave seems like a cool guy. He hasn't attacked anyone, at least not unprovoked, and he's chill."

"Thin ice, Apollo!"

Athena stated, "We were talking about the implications of his presence, and I believe his presence can mark a period of communication and collaboration with other universes."

"Not if he attacks us!" Ares snapped.

"More like not if a dense demigod provokes him." Poseidon snorted.

The one with winged shoes remarked, "As the god of travelers, I feel obliged to vouch for the guy."

"As the god of machines, I feel like the opportunity to learn about more advances technology is way too good to pass up on. I mean, within a day of being here he's outclassed anything anyone's ever built, even me!"

"The diplomatic and educational value of negotiation with his race of Cybertronians is an attractive and grand one." Athena added.

Artemis interjected, "Well, I have no issue with the Cybertronian."

"Me neither." Dionysus agreed.

"Finally, someone else with sense!"

"Apollo!" Zeus snapped, "while I do not appreciate your butting in, you do have a point."

"I do? I mean, of course I do."

"This Cybertronian has given us no reason to suspect him of foul intent, yet. As well, Athena and Hephaestus make good points in the potential benefits. But, whatever we choose to do, we must move ahead aware of potential risks proposed by Ares."

"Thank you for being understanding, father."

"Now, Demeter and Aphrodite, what do you propose?"

Demeter responded, "I do not much appreciate him trampling plants when he walks."

"He can't help it!" Apollo defended, "How do you expect him not to accidentally trample crops when he walks, he's almost as big as some giants!"

"Do not interrupt her!" Zeus snapped.

"I do not mind the Cybertronian much, however I do find his lack of romantic feeling boring. He'a too... mechanical." Aphrodite added.

Hera announced, "Now that all of us have shared our views, let us have a vote. All in favor of letting the Cybertronian stay as a sovereign entity?"

Apollo's hand shot up the microclick she stopped, with Athena, Hephaestus, and Hermes' hands rising up a bit after. Artemis, Hades, Dionysus, Poseidon, and Zeus's hands rose up. With them, majority had voted in our favor.

"Now, anyone against this?"

Ares was the only one to raise his hand. Aphrodite and Demeter didn't vote, either due to lack of interest or lack of caring.

"It is decided, then. Soundwave and his minicons shall remain as sovereign entities."

Apollo whooped louder than anyone else, Athena, Hephaestus, and Hermes looked satisfied, and Ares looked mad. Although, he almost had a resting mad face.

I was recording the whole meeting undetected, at least by anyone besides Apollo. Before, he nervously glanced at me on occasion, seeming to try to make a "shoo" gesture to get me to leave. Now, with the vote decided, he seemed to relax. He looked and nodded at me, while I nodded back. I flew away, ready to take back the recording to Soundwave.

Originally, I thought about Lazerbeak being caught and Soundwave fighting off the gods to save him. I eventually decided this vote for Soundwave was better than having him and the gods fight this early, as it has only been a day in-story.
