It seemed like a normal day on the Nemesis. Megatron was on his throne planning a likely to fail plan. Soundwave was caring for his cassettes. Shockwave was in his lab doing Primus knows what (Primus: Believe me, I don't). Knockout was getting buffed by Breakdown (long story short: Shockwave found a way to bring him back to life so yeah). Starscream was doing some experiments in his quarters/mini lab...wait...random experiments?! An explosion erupted from the room causing the ship to shake. Megatron stood from his throne and marched to Shockwave's lab. "Shockwave!" he called as Shockwave walked out of his lab. "What is the meaning of that explosion?" Shockwave turned to Megatron slight confusion could be seen in his one optic.

"Your guess is as good as mine, my Lord. For I am not the cause of the explosion." Shockwave explained.

"Then who was?" Soundwave appeared from down the hall. "Soundwave, do you know the cause of the explosion?"

"Explosion: Caused by Starscream," Soundwave responded in his normal monotone voice. Megatron grew angry and growled. He and the rest of the crew headed straight for the Second in Commands quarters. Once they arrived they were stunned to find the door had been blown off its hinges and wedged in the wall opposite the room. Knockout immediately ran in to check on the Second in Command as his medical instincts kicked in. Not even a klik went by when Knockout called for Breakdown for assistance. When they reemerged from the room the sight was shocking and horrific. Starscream's armor was scorched and some of the metal was bent in different places. But what seemed to worry Megatron, though it's a small glint in his optics, was Starscream's own optics. They were open but there was dark grey in place of the bright treacherous red it usually showed.

"What happened?!" he roared stopping Knockout from following Breakdown into the medbay.

"From what I could see in Starscream's room, he was experimenting and might have gotten a formula wrong. I don't know what kind of damage he has until I've looked him over." Knockout explained then left to repair Starscream. Megatron turned to the purple waves once the red Arston Martin was out of sight.

"Shockwave, Soundwave, I want you two to inspect Starscream's room and find out what he was up to." he began heading to his private chambers. After a few minutes (I don't know what the Cybertronian word for a minute is) the crew began hearing crashes and loud bangs emanating from Lord Megatron's room.
