The hum of the Ark's engines vibrates through your new frame, a low thrum that's foreign yet intimately yours. Dim light from the medical bay's monitors casts long shadows across the metal walls. Ratchet checks readings, his optics narrowed. Bumblebee beeps softly nearby. You flex your new fingers—giant, mechanical—and the world shifts. Optimus Prime's gaze meets yours, steady and calm: "you, welcome back. How do you feel?"
