"I'm telling you, that thing is staring at me.", Professor Sumdac said, looking at the Headmaster unit. "It's as if its eyes are following me wherever I go.", Professor Sumdac continued.

"It's offline.", Bulkhead reassured him. "That is what I thought about Megatron's head when-", Professor Sumdac started, but stopped when he saw the faces both Harvest and Bulkhead were making.

"Perhaps I should not have mentioned that.", Professor Sumdac continued. "Forget it. We got bigger stuff to worry about.", Bulkhead reassured.

"Like rebuilding the space bridge.", Harvester said, connecting some of the wires to the controls. "Yeah! So we can warn Cybertron that our head of intel is a Decepticon traitor.", Bulkhead added, putting in a pod in one of the controls.

"At least the top of a tower is better than the bottom of a mine.", Professor Sumdac said, as he went over to join the two. "Yeah, what was Megatron thinking, huh? Even a basic bot knows that mineral composites mess us wave transmissions.", Bulkhead laughed.

Harvester couldn't help, but let out her own laugh at that. "Oh, tell me about it. I'm just happy I can finally sleep in my own bed again.", Professor Sumdac laughed.

"Well, your not going to get much sleep if we don't build that plasma dynamic thruster.", Bulkhead pointed out. "Alright, don't rust me. You are worse than working for Megatron.", Professor Sumdac said, annoyed.

Bulkhead and Harvester then shot him a look. "I mean not in an evil, ruthless, threatening my life seance but-", Professor Sumdac continued.

"I know what you meant.", Bulkhead said, stopping the professor from his rant. "Besides, I just spent the past sleepless night overriding the Decepticon signal dampeners I was forced to create. I just hope your friends are able to track them down now.", Professor Sumdac said, finishing his welding.

Harvester then looked sadly at the professor. "I know what it is like to be held by Megatron.", Harvester said.

She then gave a slight shudder. "I can't imagine being there for as long as you were.", Harvester continued.

The professor then looked up at her. "It definitely keeps me up some nights. But, I'm just so happy to be back with Sari. And I have you all to thank for it.", Professor Sumdac said.

Elsewhere that night. "Signal's moving due north but we are closing in fast.", Optimus said to his team.

"It'll be nice to have the element of surprise for a change.", Bumblebee commented. "Signal is slowing down. Now it heading due south.", Optimus pointed out.

"He's heading right for us!", Bumblebee screamed. "So much for the element of surprise.", Prowl said, as they all transformed and prepared for the fight.

"You jinx us, Bumblebee!", Serenity said. She then took her place beside Optimus.

Lugnut then came landing down, hitting his explosive mod on the ground. "These Allspark fragments should give the power core a boost.", Bulkhead said, as he put the fragments in the machine they created.

"Be careful, Bulkhead! We don't want to overload it.", Professor Sumdac warned. "Relax! When it comes to space bridges, I know what I'm doing.", Bulkhead said, leaning on the lift the professor was driving.

This caused the ground underneath it to crack and start to give away. "But, I'm not hot at structural integrity.", Bulkhead added.

The professor, the Headmaster unit, and the machine the professor was driving then started falling down the hole. "I got you, Professor!", Harvester yelled out, as she grabbed the professor and clung onto the edge of the fallen floor.
