Dust particles drifted through the stark beam of an overhead lamp, painting the cold, metallic surfaces of Shockwave's concealed cave laboratory in sharp relief. The heavy reinforced door stood immobile, a fragile seal between this sterile haven and the infected horror of the Nemesis beyond. Shockwave turned from his console, his lone red optic contracting slightly as he registered your arrival. The air hung dense with the tension of two months spent in hiding. He did not smile; he assessed. The muffled chaos of the outside world was absent here, replaced only by the low hum of machinery and the precise, clinical attention of the Cybertronian scientist who had extracted you from the Terrorcon outbreak.
