I couldn't find my friend at all. I return to the bridge to see ....... "Breakdown?" I ask myself, my smile returning to my face. "BREAKDOWN!!!" I call out. I run over but 2 guards along with Soundwave stop me "What? It's Breakdown!!" I reason. Soundwave shakes his helm. I got concerned until Megatron's voice booms "Knockout, what is this abomination, and why have you brought it here?!?" The mech replies "I am CYLAS, as in Cybernetic Life Augmented by Simbiosis. I come with a proposition." My optics return to dull and my wings fall. The 3 let me go and I go to my liege's side. He didn't know I was there yet.

Knockout snaps "This is the human who dissected Breakdown!!" He ejects his saw and continues "Please my liege, allow me to return the favor." I growl lowly and CYLAS continues "I propose that you do not overlook the one asset that provides Optimus Prime an advantage; at least.... on this world." Megatron asks "And that would be?" CYLAS comments "The human factor." Lord Megatron jolts forward "Look around you, CYLAS. I command an army from a mighty warship—-. And of course my seeker who already knows of Human intelligence, lockdown and evacuation calls, who is high in loyalty and— Is right here. Apologies my commander." "You're good." I say. Megs continues "So what could a human possibly offer that my seeker doesn't already possess?" The human mech hybrid responds "I am no ordinary human, and this is no ordinary weapon."

He explains his weapon and as he does, I huff "I guess I'm of no use to you anymore." I start leaving and Megatron stops me "I am not done with you yet. You still have a place here in my army. A home not to mention." I vent and turn around "So come back." He adds. I walk towards him again. And stand next to him as CYLAS finishes. I didn't trust him one but though.

Megatron comments "A threat to anyone, anywhere on the planet." CYLAS replies "With pinpoint accuracy at a flick of a switch." Megatron goes on "And what is it that you wish in return." It goes quiet. I step back, my wings falling more. "Merely a place at the table." The mech agent responds. I groan loudly. Fantastic, I have to get used to a human being here.

"I thought our ship was Robots only." I mumble. CYLAS heard me "I am one now.—- hey I recognize you." "Oh really? Where? An A-10 documentary?" I ask sarcastically. He got on nerve quick. Perrrrrfect. "Now now, my seeker." My liege says to me. CYLAS says "No, I remember you from the battlefield. You fought Burst. And you were also the A-10 that turned into a motorcycle, correct?" I tense up. Megatron looks to me confused "He knows about that?" I look to CYLAS again "Of course I do." Megatron asks "When was this?" CYLAS goes on "When the DNGS was being transported by the autobots, you were with them!" I yell back "I WAS NOT!!!" He goes on "You were, too. Burst fought you. He also said that you looked very close to his friend, but that's besides the point."

            He then goes on about how I was with the autobots "When one of my old agents went to attack Optimus, you shot them." I growl "That wasn't me." CYLAS replies "That's not what your holoform's helmet said." I hold my breath. "That wasn't me." I say again, very quietly. CYLAS continues "You defended the autobots the whole mission." I yell "I DID NOT!!!! MEGATRON PLEASE!!!!! YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME!!!!" The human mech hybrid goes on "Yes you did, you even tried to push me away from everything that the autobots were after." I was about to yell before Megatron steps in "Because he was getting it for our team!!" I nod. CYLAS goes to talk again but Megatron steps forward "Lie about him again, and so help me. Your seat at the table will be broken off in your empty and blood stained spark chamber." The bot steps back and Megatron goes back to me "I apologize. I know you would never do such a thing." I nod, thanking him.

            My liege turns back around to face the bridge. I look back at CYLAS and grit my teeth. I then mouth "Never say that again." He mouths back "You did and you know it." My optics go bloodshot at him and he steps back, shuddering.
