[The holoavatar generator is a piece of tech Soundwave himself doesn't get the full workings of- all he knows is that it allows him to create a hardlight projection, beyond that, he can't tell her more, even if he wanted too. Soundwave's not the engineer who constructed this. The finger poking the cheek is unexpected though, his eyes go wide at the gesture, and then she does it the second time]

I can see that...

[Soundwave allows her to poke the avatar, though, he is absentmindedly pouting at her for her choice. Isn't there another place to poke the avatar? Regardless, when the contact is made Nike could feel the generation of Chroma started. His hand reaches to grab hold of one of Nike's own to produce a steady flow of Chroma for the girl.]
