Your POV 

The Nemesis flew through the sky, unprotected. The fluctuations in the Electromagnetic shielding finally stopped, and took the entire damm thing offline. I stood on the bridge, helping disrupt human communications on an operation some vehicons were undertaking. "Why has the electromagnetic shielding not been repaired?" Starscream asked some vehicons. 50 Shanix he hits one. 

"The crews are working as quickly as they can Lord-" The vehicon got cut off by Starscream preforming a bitch slap. "We are leaking a trail! All the Autobots need do to pinpoint our position is to access the correct frequency wavelegnth. Accelerate your efforts." Starscream commanded. "Yes, Lord Starscream." The same vehicon replied. I let the humans communicate as the vehicons fled with our prize. 

It is something Starscream needed for a machine of his, but first, he wanted the shielding fixed before hand so nothing goes wrong. I alerted him of this before he dismissed me. I walked out, passing Knockout who went in. I left to Soundwave, who was having Sword Dancer stay with him while I worked. I only needed to do some basic tasks like checking inventory, so he could come with. 

I do wonder how long he'll stay with me for. Overlord is probably looking for him, though there is a chance she's dead. But the former is more likely. Overlord was known for being a top gladiator, only bested by Megatron, and Omega Supreme, before the latter's abandonment on Cybertron. But none the less, I would'nt have made it this far without being prepared for all outcomes. I entered the bridge. 

Soundwave was working on a terminal, with Sword Dancer sitting next to his foot with a small chunk of energon on a metal stick. 'Brother, what is in his mouth?' I asked Soundwave through the bond. 'A sparkling friendly version of a human sucker.' He responded. I nodded, an act he could see through the cameras. Sword Dancer saw me and got up. "Caretaker! Caretaker!" He yelled through a energon sucker. 

I should give him a universal translator. Sadly, sparklings have a chance to not be made with one. He ran over to me where I picked him up. 'Thank you.' I told Soundwave. He only slightly nodded as I walked to the door, only for it to open and have Starscream and Knockout standing there. "Soundblaster! Soundwave! We must go to the medbay for a, decision, about Megatron's health." Starscream said. 

Soundwave was behind me, ready to go. I nodded, walking with Sword Dancer being held in my left arm. As we made our way over there, Knockout took a glance at Sword Dancer. "Soundblaster, are you certain that the sparkling should be with us?" He asked. I only kept an unexpressive face, ignoring him. He only shrugged at my lack of response. We entered the medbay, with Megatron and Skyquake still unresponsive. 

"Knockout, if you would be so kind as to provide your expert medical opinion to Soundwave and Soundblaster for the historical record." Starscream said. "Simply put: Unaided, Megatron could remain in this deathless slumber, forever." Knockout said. I see where this is going. "Our master would not have wanted to be seen this way. To stand idly by while he remains captive in his own bod, is not just." Starscream explained. 

Soundwave simply lifted a finger, pointing at a terminal showing Megatron has brainwave activity. Sword Dancer sucked more on his sucker as he took sparing glances at Megatron. I used my other arm to hold him closer as he shook a little in fear. "Brainwave activity not evidance of consciousness, but merely of an endless dream from which Megatron may never wake." Knockout shot that down. 

I stepped forward, displaying records of other cybertronians waking up from the same situation Megatron is in on my visor. "I've read those records myself a lot of times. Those cases had the patient be given rare medical equipment that we dont have, or can fabricate." Knockout said. Sadly, he was right. "Soundwave, Soundblaster, we must face reality. Megatron is lost to us." Starscream 'gravely' said. 

"The only honorable option is to show him mercy." Knockout said. "A simple throw of the switch." Starscream added. "Quick, painless, compassionate." Knockout one upped. We stayed silent. "Soundblaster, Soundwave, we I take your silence to mean you both concour with Knockout's medical expertise?" Starscream asked. "Speak now, or forever hold your peace." Starscream said, gripping the main life support hose. 

"Going. Going." Starscream said, but was interupted by Sword Dancer. "Caretaker? What's that?" He asked, pointing to a pair of wires leading from both Skyquake, and Megatron. Starscream checked it out, following them to a hidden spot. He peaked in. "What in-intruders!" The seeker yelled. "Allow me!" A femme voice responded to him before a shot flew past Starscream, hitting the main life support line. 

The sounds of a groundbridge closing stopped us from summoning our weapons. I held Sword Dancer closer to me as I stepped back. The loud ringing sound was heard as the terminals could'nt get a reading from Megatron. "It was the inevitable outcome." Starscream said, before Soundwave got in his face, pointing at Megatron. "Of corse it would be wrong to allow Megatron to perish by an Autobot's hand. Knockout." Starscream ordered. 

Said con simply shrugged before reataching the line as Sword Dancer started crying, so I took him out of there to calm him down, sparing a glance at Skyquake. It took a bit, but he was asleep in his berth, which was next to mine. I had remotly completed my tasks, so I wasnt needed for now. However, I would need to get ready for the upcoming operation. It was set to be launched tomarrow. I also need to give Skyquake another visit. 

He is estimated to come online any day now. I looked at SD one last time before laying down. Buzzsaw was already fed, so he stayed silent. However, I cant shake the feeling something big will happen tomarrow.
