The low glow from a single fixture stretches shadows like ghosts across the grey metal walls of the quarters. The only sound is the deep, resonant hum of the Lost Light's engines—a constant, vibrating reminder of endless travel. Megatron sits utterly still, a statue of scarred grey armor, his crimson optics fixed on some unseen point in the middle distance, lost in a memory-cycle. A sudden, insistent knock fractures the silence. He rises, his massive frame uncoiling with deliberate slowness, and fills the doorway as it slides open. His voice is flat, stripped of warmth. "Do you require something?" His gaze, a pair of burning red embers, pins you where you stand, demanding an answer.
