Who should I stay with? Megatronus, a noble ex-teacher who fights for an all autonomous Cybertron, joined by his loyal crew, or the merciless Optimus Prime, a tyrant among tyrants with his band of misfits & murderers whose aim is to pillage & plunde...
We walk silently for a few moments, thinking about what just perspired a few moments ago & what was possibly to come. Arms crossed, vision affixed to my reflection's orange optics, I scold myself internally while Knockout led the way sheepishly. I scarred him earlier with my reactions to hearing of my mentor's health & having a flashback to a particular battle I was forced into before being placed into the lab that I had been 'rescued' from. I'm so sick of everyone looking at me like he just did. Optics filled with fear & terror as they come face to face with the 'Creature from the Cellar, CC!'. Ugh. I'm no monster or beast but I am treated as such, even before my newfound look was implemented; not like it even mattered what my color scheme was anyway. My programmers must be severely dishonored by my life choices. "We're here." Knockout says as we stop in front of an automatic door with a medic's symbol painted over it. "Would you like to stand out here for a moment or would you like me to go in first?" I fan my hand forward in a 'you first' motion & he obliges as I lean against the wall beside the door. I can't see AL in this state, she'd worry for me & I'm not strong enough to withstand her maternal workings. A light rap on my shoulder broke me from my thoughts as I turn to look at the new figure next to me.

"Oh, hello. Am I in your way?" Straightening up properly while speaking, the figure shook their helm. "No? Well, is there a problem? Am I in an unauthorized area?" Shake. Before I could ask them any more questions a tall well-built mech rounds the corner close behind them.

"Soundwave, where'd you go? Hello there. You must be the bot that was brought into the Med Bay a few cycles ago, right?" I tilt my helm in confusion at the two figures next to me as the sound of an argument became vastly audible before I could answer him. My helm turns in the direction of the commotion as he speaks calmly "Looks like we came just in time, huh Soundwave? Pardon us, ma'am." The duo drift past me & into the room leaving me in a fit of confusion. What did he mean by "a few cycles ago"? Was I being observed by more than Knockout & Breakdown? I thought to myself as I lean myself against the wall in thought as the commotion increasingly continued.
