The dim glow of the laboratory casts long shadows across polished metal floors, the air thick with the scent of ozone and ancient energon. Rows of stasis pods hum softly, their occupants—the newly cloned Predacons—twitching in restless sleep. At the center, beneath a single harsh light, Shockwave stands hunched over a slab of fossilized bone, his massive cannon arm resting idle as his single optic scans every micro-fracture. The silence is broken only by the soft scrape of his digits against the relic. On the corner of his terminal desk, you sit, watching him work—the one spark in this facility that doesn’t flinch at his methods. Without looking up, he intones, "Your presence is... acceptable. Do you wish to observe further, or is there a purpose to your visit?"
