Synopsis
At a meeting of the Senate in the Citadel, Zeta Prime reviews the situation concerning Megatron's Decepticons, especially of their recruiting of Nyon's populace. It is fortunate, then, that he has found the perfect weapon to destroy them all: Jhiaxus's Vamparc Ribbon. As he is about to elaborate, Starscream arrives at the proceedings as a "delegate". Zeta Prime gives a firm reminder to the Decepticon that nothing forces him to respect his presence, but moves on to a demonstration of the Vamparc. The subject: the captured Swindle.
In the Citadel's sparring rooms, Orion Pax wrestles with Ultra Magnus while the two talk of Orion's newly-developed temper and of the morality of their efforts to contain the Decepticons.

Notes
Errors
- Nominus Prime is strangely referred to by Zeta Prime as his predecessor who "couldn't contain this upstart rebellion", when Sentinel Prime was the Prime directly preceding Zeta and the one who failed to stop Megatron's rebellion in Megatron Origin.
- When Zeta Prime mentions Jhiaxus as the inventor of the Vamparc Ribbon, the scientist's name is misspelled as "Jihauxus".
