	Following the disappearance of the ''[[Lost Light]]'' and the evacuation of the crew, twenty 'bots cram themselves into the [[Rodpod]]: [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Megatron]], [[Crosscut (~~Autobot~~)\|Crosscut]], [[Skids (G1)\|Skids]], [[Gears (G1)\|Gears]], [[Blaster (G1)\|Blaster]], [[Getaway]], [[Nautica (G1)\|Nautica]], [[Ammo]], [[Huffer (G1)\|Huffer]], [[Chromedome (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Chromedome]], [[Swerve (G1)\|Swerve]], [[Hoist (G1)\|Hoist]], [[Nightbeat (G1)\|Nightbeat]], [[Riptide (G1)\|Riptide]], [[Tailgate (G1)\|Tailgate]], [[Dipstick]], [[Cyclonus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Cyclonus]], [[Hound (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Hound]], [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ratchet]], and [[Highbrow (G1)\|Highbrow]]. [[File:Drift lost lights former owners twenty plus one.jpg\|thumb\|left\|upright=2]] When Nautica inquires as to the origins of the now-vanished ship, Riptide recounts how he, [[Pipes (G1)\|Pipes]], and [[Drift (G1)\|Drift]] purchased the vessel from a pair of [[Chirolinguistics\|chirolingual]] [[NAIL]]s in [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]]'s religious quarter, naming it after the [[Festival of Lost Light]], which was taking place there at the time. Though Megatron tries to make the group focus on their present predicament, Nautica persists with her train of thought, and highlights the abnormality of the ship and the power of its [[quantum generator]]s. At Ammo's request, she tries to explain to the befuddled crew how quantum engines are essentially powered by the improbability of their own function, concluding with the theory that the ship was ''so'' advanced that it "proved itself impossible." Megatron is less concerned with the ''how'' of the ship's disappearance, but rather with what to do next; at that moment, [[Blaster (G1)\|Blaster]] receives a transmission from [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Rodimus]] on a neighboring shuttle, informing them that they will be making for the nearby lectureworld of [[Ofsted XVII]] in [[Sector 113]].

	After a crew headcount, [[Crosscut (~~Autobot~~)\|Crosscut]] is telling [[Cyclonus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Cyclonus]] about his latest play when the lights suddenly go out. When power returns a second later, Crosscut has vanished mid-sentence, and [[Tailgate (G1)\|Tailgate]], full of false bravado after all the praise he has received lately, draws a gun on Megatron, blaming him for Crosscut's apparent death. Cyclonus and Ratchet try to talk the tiny 'bot down, but Megatron's reaction goes from bemusement to anger when Tailgate proposes locking him up, and he draws a weapon of his own. This prompts Riptide to add his weapon to the growing standoff, and when Cyclonus tries to calm everyone down, Huffer and Gears, never having trusted the ancient Cybertronian, both draw on him. Hound then appears to level his own weapon at Nautica, but it quickly becomes apparent that he is actually aiming at the lurking [[Ravage (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ravage]], who pounces from the shadows just as the lights go out once more. Megatron fires into the darkness and subdues the feline; as the lights flick back on, he claims not to know why Ravage is there, but whether that is true or not is called into question as he secretly communicates chirolinguistically with the cat-bot, telling him to play dead.

	Following the disappearance of the ''[[Lost Light]]'' and the evacuation of the crew, twenty 'bots cram themselves into the [[Rodpod]]: [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Megatron]], [[Crosscut (~~Autobot~~)\|Crosscut]], [[Skids (G1)\|Skids]], [[Gears (G1)\|Gears]], [[Blaster (G1)\|Blaster]], [[Getaway]], [[Nautica (G1)\|Nautica]], [[Ammo]], [[Huffer (G1)\|Huffer]], [[Chromedome (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Chromedome]], [[Swerve (G1)\|Swerve]], [[Hoist (G1)\|Hoist]], [[Nightbeat (G1)\|Nightbeat]], [[Riptide (G1)\|Riptide]], [[Tailgate (G1)\|Tailgate]], [[Dipstick]], [[Cyclonus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Cyclonus]], [[Hound (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Hound]], [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ratchet]], and [[Highbrow (G1)\|Highbrow]]. [[File:Drift lost lights former owners twenty plus one.jpg\|thumb\|left\|upright=2]] When Nautica inquires as to the origins of the now-vanished ship, Riptide recounts how he, [[Pipes (G1)\|Pipes]], and [[Drift (G1)\|Drift]] purchased the vessel from a pair of [[Chirolinguistics\|chirolingual]] [[NAIL]]s in [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]]'s religious quarter, naming it after the [[Festival of Lost Light]], which was taking place there at the time. Though Megatron tries to make the group focus on their present predicament, Nautica persists with her train of thought, and highlights the abnormality of the ship and the power of its [[quantum generator]]s. At Ammo's request, she tries to explain to the befuddled crew how quantum engines are essentially powered by the improbability of their own function, concluding with the theory that the ship was ''so'' advanced that it "proved itself impossible." Megatron is less concerned with the ''how'' of the ship's disappearance, but rather with what to do next; at that moment, [[Blaster (G1)\|Blaster]] receives a transmission from [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Rodimus]] on a neighboring shuttle, informing them that they will be making for the nearby lectureworld of [[Ofsted XVII]] in [[Sector 113]].

	After a crew headcount, [[Crosscut (~~Autobot~~)\|Crosscut]] is telling [[Cyclonus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Cyclonus]] about his latest play when the lights suddenly go out. When power returns a second later, Crosscut has vanished mid-sentence, and [[Tailgate (G1)\|Tailgate]], full of false bravado after all the praise he has received lately, draws a gun on Megatron, blaming him for Crosscut's apparent death. Cyclonus and Ratchet try to talk the tiny 'bot down, but Megatron's reaction goes from bemusement to anger when Tailgate proposes locking him up, and he draws a weapon of his own. This prompts Riptide to add his weapon to the growing standoff, and when Cyclonus tries to calm everyone down, Huffer and Gears, never having trusted the ancient Cybertronian, both draw on him. Hound then appears to level his own weapon at Nautica, but it quickly becomes apparent that he is actually aiming at the lurking [[Ravage (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ravage]], who pounces from the shadows just as the lights go out once more. Megatron fires into the darkness and subdues the feline; as the lights flick back on, he claims not to know why Ravage is there, but whether that is true or not is called into question as he secretly communicates chirolinguistically with the cat-bot, telling him to play dead.
