The vastness of space can never hold you long and stay quiet at the same time. There's always something that will disrupt you any chance it gets. Whether good or bad you'll get sucked into something you never knew existed.

Current and Stunner have always been close, that closeness can't be cut if someone tried. It's as thick as a iron cable, they have always had each others backs. When they were young their creators sacrificed themselves to Megatron to save their sparklings.

The twins had no idea what was happening but as they got older the clearer things got.

They escaped one night in an escape pod when they found out Megatron was after them once again and that's where their story begins. Space.

---------------------------------------------

Current was sitting in the control room of the makeshift ship that he and Stunner made out of scrap metal floating in space around them.

It's not the best technology but it helps pick up signals of any Cybertronians nearby. Stunner also made sure to add in the receiver that's supposed to pick up messages sent. So far? Nothing.

Current tries to hide it but he's losing hope in ever getting saved or found. Don't get him wrong, he and his brother were the best fighters in their class aside from this bot name Bumblebee but they can't fight in space in a ship that could be easily blown to scrap.

Stunner was walking toward the control room to tell his brother of a new part for the receiver he made to make the range further. When he got in the doorway he saw Current with his elbows on his knees and his face in his hands.

"Current? What's wrong?" He walked in after his brother jumped in fright and spun around to face him.

"Nothing, I was thinking."

Stunner raised his optic ridge in skepticism.

"Since when did you think like that?"

"For awhile, leave it!" Current snapped.

Stunner stepped back in shock it's rare that his brother snaps at anything or anyone. When he does it's best you leave him alone for a bit to calm down. Out of them both Current is the most level-headed and when he is stressed that's saying something.

Stunner nodded. "Okay, I was just checking on you and I wanted to put this into the receiver, it's has a higher range set." He walked over to the receiver next to Current and knelt down to reach the bottom panel and set the new part into to slot in change of the older part.

Once done he stood and patted his brother on the shoulder than turned around and left without a word.

Current listened as Stunner shut the door to the control room and felt guilt start to overcome him. He had no right to snap at him when he was just checking on him, not to mention he's been working to make the ship more durable while he just sat and listened for news that was becoming painfully obvious that's not going to come any time soon.

He stood up getting ready to go find his brother and apologize for his behavior. He walked to the door and started typing the code when he heard static behind him. He froze and turned around slowly getting ready for anything.

"Stunner!" He yelled out. Hoping his brother heard him he walked back to the receiver and started searching the channels.

Stunner was almost back to his room when he heard it. "Stunner!"

He turned around and sprinted back to the control room and almost rammed the door in when he got to it but forced himself to type in the code and wait for it to open.

Once it did he walked inside and saw his brother playing around with the channel button.

"What's going on?" Stunner asked still watching Current push buttons and turn knobs.

"We got static."

He perked up and walked forwards waiting and listening.

They heard a word before it shut off because Current was searching franticly.

"Stop! Go back!" Stunner shouted his his excitement.

Current went back and they listened to the message from a Prime that would change their lives forever.

"I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars: We are here. We are waiting."

The brothers turned slowly and stared at each other with hope welling up in their sparks.
