Unicra didn't need to check her chronometer to see that she has been in her cell for more than two solar cycles which was a pain but she likes the silence aside from the quiet murmurs of the mechs in the other cells which always lull her to recharge.

Worry and concern has been plaguing her processor. Worry for Trionix who's all by herself in Iacon.

Concern for the mech, Screwbolt, who she harmed by accident.

She didn't really talk much to other mechs when they tried to get her attention and all she was able to do was pace around in her cell, try and find a way out, refuel, recharge, let her processor wander.

She can't help but be worried about Trionix. She's supposed to be the Lord High Protector of her Prime and now they're separated and her Prime is out there alone.

Now on the third solar cycle of her being in prison there seems to have a slight change in the air and she looked at her cell door to see two Minicons looking at her curiously. There was something familiar about them but she couldn't ponder on it.

"So you're the new face the guards are gossiping about?" The first one asked curiously.

The first one was a red minicon while the second one was a blue minicon. She snorted as she walked to the bars of her cell door and knelt down on one knee as she looked at them.

"I'm afraid that I was forced here against my will, young ones." She said calmly.

"Hey, you kinda remind me of the big bot." The blue one pointed out.

"Oh? Why is that?" Unicra asked in curiosity but the blue minicon shrugged.

"Dunno but you seem nice." The blue one said.

"Wait, are you a femme?" The red one asked in surprise as she smiled softly.

"Yes, I am." She simply said before the doors to the entrance of the cells opened and the two minicons turned towards it.

"We gotta get back now. It was nice meeting you." The red one said as he dragged the blue one away.

She hummed softly as a familiar guard stood in front of her cell.

"The boss wanted to see you." Gearbreak said as he unlocked her cell and grabbed a pair of cuffs and strapped them on her wrists and led her out.

She can practically feel the optics of the mechs burning on her back but she didn't pay them any mind as they entered the lift as the doors closed as it took them to the top floor. On the ride, Unicra just stayed silent as Gearbreak was leaning against the wall of the lift across from her.

"Can I ask something?" She asked suddenly as Gearbreak looked at her silently and she took that as a go ahead.

"How's... How is he? The one I accidentally harmed?" She asked and Gearbreak looked at her cautiously.

Gearbreak was ordered to get the femme that hurt Screwbolt and now she's asking about how he is? For some strange reason, this femme seems different from the rest.

"Hm, he's doing okay. His optic was saved but he'll have to take it easy until then." Gearbreak said as he looked at her suspiciously.

She just hummed as the lift took them to the floor that they were needed in and she grunted when Gearbreak took her arm and led to her a door to what appeared to be an office and sitting on a chair was the boss with Sliderim, Shatter Stone and Screwbolt standing on either side and she can see Screwbolt shifting uncomfortably to the side and she had to fight a smirk. Good, that would at least teach him a lesson not to try anything.

"Good. Now we can get started." The boss said while Unicra was pushed forward but regained her balance.

"Do you know why you're here, femme?" He questioned.

"Let me recap. Oh yes, being brought here against my will and being separated from my companion thanks to your four thugs." Unicra said sarcastically as the mech, Clench, looked at her curiously.

"Is that so? Then why did I hear from my men here that you and your... companion appeared in a strange light in front of the Pits of Kaon?" Clench asked curiously but Unicra didn't miss how his optics glinted.

She can tell that he was intrigued by what she has to say next. She narrowed her optics as she chose her words carefully.

"It... wasn't our intention to appear here. It was just a test drive when some... scraplets chewed the circuitry of something our friends have been working on. And that’s how we appeared here through a huge flash." Unicra explained and Screwbolt snorted.

"Scraplets? Looks like your friends have made something faulty and the scraplets decided to make a quick snack out of it." He smirked but yelped when something hit his good optic.

Clench blinked and he saw that the femme seemed to have kicked the nearest object at Screwbolt and it was an empty cube of Energon. He's gotta admit, she has a good aim but something about what she said intrigued him.

"Really? Then, do you mind telling me what that thing your friends were working on?" Clench asked curiously as he was becoming even more intrigued.

"It, uh… it was a… space bridge. My friends are crazy about exploring the planets beyond Cybertron. So they wanted to try building a space bridge. But it didn’t work out well, scraplets. Nasty vermin right? Now that this has been cleared out I’ll see myself out." Unicra explained hesitantly which got confused looks from the four mechs but an intrigued and interested look from Clench.

"A space bridge, huh? That sounds very interesting." Clench said as he looked at her.

Unicra inwardly cursed about her slip up. She was in the past. Of course that type of technology doesn't exist yet before the war from what she learned from both Megatron and Soundwave.

"Considering the fact that space bridge technology has been lost eons ago. You are really trying to make me believe that you guys were able to bring back lost technology just like that?" Clench questioned as he crossed his leg struts over the other and gave him the look of a business mech.

"Yes?" Unicra warily answered as Clench huff. He's not buying it.

"Tough luck. Because I don’t buy it. I can tell when someone is trying to make me look like a fool." Clench said as he narrowed his optics on her.

"And when someone does that, it really gets me on my nerves. As a business mech. I’m not one to stand for people who take me for a fool. I get rid of them." He said in a threatening tone which made Unicra's battle protocols go online and she took a defensive stance.

"Whoa, whoa, slow down there. Are you threatening me?" Unicra questioned as she narrowed her optics at him and Clench smirked.

"Such an ugly and dreadful word. I prefer the term, a gentle warning." He said in amusement as she didn't buy it and didn't lower her guard.

"Gentle huh? How about I kick your tailpipe out of your fancy office? Will that be gentle?" She warned him as her optics glowed eerily.

Both Clench and Unicra had a stare off with Clench looking at her as if waiting to see if she would make the first move but the four could sense something in Unicra's stare and it made them a bit uneasy as if they were being stared down by someone long forgotten since the beginning of their home. After a moment of silence, Clench spoke up.

"You have guts I’ll give you that. Guess no one told you what happens to those with guts like you here. They end up in the scrap heap faster." He told her as she narrowed her optics at him.

"Funny, coming from someone whose ego is the size of their processor." Unicra retorted which caused Screwbolt snort but quickly stopped.

"And if that's supposed to scare me? If so, it ain’t working. I don’t get scared that easily. You’re gonna have to do a better job if you expect me to be afraid of you." She continued.

Clench stared at her before chuckling softly before laughing out loud so suddenly that the four mechs looked at him like he was crazy while Unicra just raised an optic ridge.

"You think you're so funny are you? Well, let me tell you this. You'll be spending a very, very long time here, femme. I'll make sure of it until your spark ceases in your spark chamber." He said before motioning for Shatter Stone and Gearbreak to take her back to her cell.

"Take her back to her cell." He said as he turned back to the window of his office.

Unicra grunted a little when Gearbreak pushed her forward and she glared at him while Shatter Stone snickered as she muttered something softly as she was led back to her cell. When they reached the cells, Gearbreak grabbed her arm strut and dragged her to her cell. On the way, a pair of blue eyes stared as they watched from their large cell as Gearbreak opened the cell and shoved someone inside while taking their cuffs off.

"Hope you like the special treatment, femme. Cause you're not getting out anytime soon." Shatter Stone snickered only to yelp when Unicra sent a small shock of purple electricity at his pedes.

"Hope you like getting your circuits fried, fragger." She sneered at him and he left quickly with Gearbreak shaking his helm.

Once they were gone, Unicra sighed and slumped against the wall of her cell. She just hoped that she'll get out of here soon.
