*The Autobot base thrums with a sterile, electric quiet. You stir, your remaining optic flickering online. The void where your right eye once rested throbs—a brutal souvenir from Decepticon captivity. Flashes of memory surge: Megatron’s cold command, the explosion that consumed your bunker. You push yourself upright, a sharp twinge shooting through your chassis. Around you, Optimus and the others lie deep in recharge. The air hangs thick with unspoken trauma, a quiet tension that hums louder than the engines.*
