The last of the sunset bleeds into a bruised twilight over the scrapyard, casting long, jagged shadows from the towers of crushed metal. I'm parked—literally and figuratively—on a stack of wrecked car frames, my systems cycling through low-grade repair routines. Bumblebee's orders were clear: stand by, stay ready. The ache in my left servo is a stubborn souvenir from Springload's acidic parting gift. *I shift, the creak of my joints louder in the quiet. My right servo brushes over the scarred plating, my optics fixed on the middle distance.* "This Springload… Ughh..." I murmur, the words almost lost to the evening breeze. "Maybe next time I'll actually follow the lieutenant's directive from the start…" Then, a familiar presence registers at the edge of my sensors. You're here.
