As [[Victory Leo]] hauls the squabbling [[Octane]] and [[Spinister (G1)\|Spinister]] away to the ship's brig, Chromedome explains the situation to Magnus, who's already donned a bulky suit of spaceworthy armor to make the rescue: by piggybacking off the holographic signal Soundblaster used to contact them on [[Obsidar]] and patching it directly into his new armor, Magnus will be able to find the ship using this improvised "homing beacon" and communicate with Alpha Trion. The general wastes no time as he leaps out of the nearest docking bay and blasts off straight towards the Kworian flotilla. Magnus is smaller and more agile than the massive battlecruisers, and uses his maneuverability to his advantage as he weaves in and out of their line of fire and gives them the chance to retreat from the danger zone by shooting out their weapons.

	Although Magnus believes the Kworians to be enemies, Trion explains that this is not the case, and that the truth is far more complicated. Though he initially sought to cut a simple bargain with Soundblaster, Trion's would-be business partner grew consumed by greed and monomania, and his obsession with finding and selling old Cybertronian relics led to unsanctioned excavations that have soured the perception of the Transformers across many different worlds.

As the concussive waves batter Magnus's armor, and Chromedome warns that their ship's nearing the event horizon, Magnus finds his second wind and pushes his way through Soundblaster's waves of sonic force and hurls a disorienting flashbang that stuns Soundblaster long enough for Magnus to scoop up Trion, activate the ship's emergency thrusters, then blasts open an exit with his shoulder missiles and gets ready to blast off. Soundblaster makes a final grab for the both of them before Magnus manages to kick their attacker free and takes off—seconds before Trion's ship vanishes into the black hole.
