	The voices, it turns out, belong to Optimus Prime and [[Ratchet (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Ratchet]], who are in the [[Ark (G1)\|Ark]]'s medical bay, reviewing the condition of the offline Dinobots. Ratchet explains that he has physically repaired the damage they recently sustained, but for some reason the Dinobots remain catatonic, trapped in a coma-like state. Even in this state, they dream... but, just as these dreams push their mental activity to the point that ~~should~~ they should rightly awaken, it suddenly drops back down to a minimal state.
