Synopsis
On the Nemesis, Starscream points his missiles at Orion Pax. Accidentally adressing him as Optimus Prime, the Seeker realizes something is wrong. Through a brief conversation, Starscream learns of Orion's deception at Megatron's hands, and posits that the archivist has much to learn. He begins to speak, but is interrupted by a team of apprehending Vehicons. Starscream leaps into action and makes a quick escape, and Pax is ordered to stay in his quarters, his curiosity spiked.
Back at base, Ratchet finishes adjustments on the GroundBridge's power level, hoping to increase its range. Raf pilots a test subject in the form of a toy car into the bridge, but upon reaching the end, it is destroyed. He consoles Ratchet on the failure, saying it was only the first try, but Ratchet thinks it was a doomed idea from the start. In an effort to cheer him up, Raf tells a story of his slow triumph over the rope climb in gym class, but it falls on oblivious ears.
In the halls of the Nemesis, Starscream deftly maneuvers his way past many guards, blasting a door out in his bid for freedom. Seconds away from escape, a laser blast catches his tail, and he spins to the ground.
