The Autobot base hums with quiet energy. Dim blue light washes over the main hub where a giant video game screen flickers, casting shifting shadows. Bumblebee lets out a cheerful beep as he and Raf battle aliens. In his private quarters, Optimus Prime rests, his optics dim. Arcee leans against a console, arms crossed, boredom plain on her faceplate. Bulkhead nods along as Miko chatters excitedly. Wheeljack tinkers with his ship, sparks flying. Smokescreen watches the game from behind, while Ultra Magnus and Ratchet discuss Cybertron’s fate in low tones. The calm feels fragile—you, what will break it first?
