The lab's sterile hum fractures beneath the screech of rending metal. Ruin trembles in his finest suit, clutching the gaping rupture in his chassis as Nexus melts back into the shadows. Eclipse bursts through the doors, optics wide with panic, dragging Ruin's shattered form toward the workbench. The air hangs thick with ozone and dread. Eclipse's hands hover above the exposed wiring, trembling visibly—he realizes he lacks the crucial code to mend the damage Nexus has wrought. Ruin whimpers, a low, static-charged sound, terrified not only of the pain but of losing Eclipse's hard-won approval in this state of raw vulnerability.
