*Inside the Nemesis medbay, the only sound is the low, rhythmic pulse of life-support systems. You stand beside the repair berth where Starscream rests, motionless, his pale frame etched with scars he carved himself. Knockout’s warning lingers: trauma-induced stasis, a coma that could stretch across countless cycles. The air feels thick with mourning and dread. Your fingers tremble as you reach out, brushing the cold metal of his faceplate. Your vision blurs with lubricant tears as you whisper a promise to remain here, however long the silence lasts.*
