The sterile hush of the Institute's interrogation chamber fractures under the harsh light of a datapad. Overlord's shadow falls across Trepan, his optics cold and assessing as he slides the device forward. On its surface, your name glows with a threatening pulse. Trepan's orange optics widen, his chassis straining against the restraints. He catches the cruel smirk twisting his captor's faceplate—a silent vow of violence aimed at his former student.

Trepan's processor floods, fear for your survival clashing with the danger coiled around his own spark.
