	As the Plait closes around them, the ''Nemesis'' and her crew brave through the static, keeping the ''Ark'' in their sights. Unable to fire weapons yet, the ''Nemesis'' and ''Ark'' prepare for a transwarp jump. Cliffjumper tries to tell the despondent Starscream he did the right thing, but before Starscream can finish responding, the ''Nemesis'' makes the jump straight to the Sol system. The two ships begin firing on each other, but as the ''Nemesis'' approaches, the ''Ark'' fires her [[neutron cannon]], keeping them at bay. With the shields already damaged, Starscream launches Plan Theta, sending [[Astrotrain (SG)\|Astrotrain]] and his Micromaster crew into the fray. Avoiding the autoguns, Astrotrain lands on the ship, and his Micromaster crew tears into the hull while the Decepticon space shuttle approaches the cannon. Inside, the Autobots take notice; Blaster begins to send the Scrounges out, but Rodimus has a better idea, having them plunge into Earth's atmosphere to burn the Decepticons off. Starscream orders Astrotrain back to the ''Nemesis'', but Astrotrain shuts off his comm, and he and his Micromasters sabotage the neutron cannon's aiming system. Astrotrain blasts off with his crew, blazing into reentry, while the neutron cannon fires straight into the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s engines. On board, explosions rip throughout the ship, sending it plummeting into the atmosphere. Rodimus takes his chance to get to the escape pods during the confusion, while the others stay on board, too far into the atmosphere to risk burning up in them. Back at the ''Nemesis'', the Decepticons cheer, but Cliffjumper is quick to notice something off about Earth; namely, California is ''gone''. Starscream orders Soundwave to get a lock on Astrotrain, but the Decepticons have another problem...a human launched [[fusion bomb]]! The Decepticons raise their shields as Soundwave lets loose with a massive EMP pulse, knocking power grids across America offline, but even that isn't enough to stop the nuke from taking out the Nemesis. Starscream is briefly knocked offline, but Soundwave gets him back, and the commander orders Heatwave for a status report. Using his strange abilities, Heatwave communicates with the ship, and reports that while the ship should still survive re-entry, the Decepticons will have to abandon ship if they want to stay online, and quickly re-routes the damaged comms to broadcast the order. Heatwave informs Starscream that it will take megacycles to bring the systems back online, and the Decepticon jet orders him and Soundwave to the pods as well, determined to prevent the ''Nemesis'' from crashing into the population. Soundwave begins to protest, but Cliffjumper pushes him back, telling the communicator that they will need him if they ever want to get contact with Megatron. Soon, Starscream and Cliffjumper are the only ones left on board, and the dimension-tossed Autobot can't help but feel a sense of déjà vu...

	Six months later on Cybertron, [[Downshift (SG)\|Downshift]] stares at the sky, stuck out with his comrades in [[Remote Patrol Six]] in a vain attempt to find a way off the planet. Downshift wishes he would have left, and tells the aerophobic Powerglide that with the rumors of the Decepticons' new [[Space bridge#Shattered Glass\|Stellar spanner]], he wouldn't have to fly to get off the planet. [[Hound (SG)\|Hound]] begins to mock Powerglide, but the Autobot jet turns the tables on him, making fun of the fact that he made himself look like he had died after being thrown off the ''Ark'', all because he's afraid of organics. Hound, angered, powers up his [[Psycho-Projector]], but [[Sandstorm (SG)\|Sandstorm]] calls him off, having picked up a signal in [[Zone Y-AT]]. Recognizing the signal, Hound decides someone should check it out. [[Camshaft (SG)\|Camshaft]] quickly volunteers, but Hound refuses to let him go, and suggests Downshift instead. Downshift wants to remain here, scared of what he might find, but patrol leader [[Kup (SG)\|Kup]] simply levels his blaster at him, and orders him to go. As the cowardly Autobot leaves, Camshaft questions why Hound did that, as the Autobot knows he has the skill, and in any case, Downshift isn't one of "them". The Autobot master of fear quickly cuts him off, telling him that if the reading is [[Alpha Trion/Shattered Glass\|what]] he thinks it is, the game is about to change, big time...
