((Timezones are dumb. Until that RP is done, assume that Megs is still broken and on Overlord’s ship.))

Eventually, he’d found his way back to the room he’d woken up in. D-16 sat on the large berth, sipping the warm energon the sparkling had given him. It tasted so much better than the slag the supervisors kept them online with… If this was a dream, and he was still half-convinced that it was, all-in-all it hadn’t been a bad one. He made a note to tell Rumble about a Seeker bowing to him. He would get a kick out of that.
The miner lays back reluctantly and slips into recharge, believing that when he would wake, he’d be right back where he’d fallen asleep, slumped against a dozen other worn out workers who were also late for their shift.
The solstice. Hm.
It had been so long since he had given it any thought whatsoever. Apparently it was well underway by now on Orion’s Cybertron. His information claimed it to be in its third phase, celebrating the creation of the mechs gathered. Megatron scowls. He saw it as a day of apology, as if everyone was attempting to make up for the horrid things they’d experienced in life with a party that would let you forget all of it for a while.
He rubs the ridge at the front of his helm for a moment. Some of his subordinates were already taking part. Even Shockwave of all mechs had seemed to express some minor interest.
…
Observing the festivites for a short while couldn’t hurt. But he tells himself that he will not take part.

Using the old as hell computer, I’m able to be here for a few hours at the moment! I shall be reponding to a few asks and attempting to get through a reply or two as well. (I am dropping my laptop off with a friend who clais to know how to fix it, so hopefully within the week I will be fully back online <3)
Still not quite online, but that should be resolved soon.
My sincere apologies for the absence these past few days. Between my own laptop overheating far too much to be usable, having a friend stay for the week and ACen, I haven’t been able to check up on you guys. How has everyone been?
Making progress on the chibis while computer’s bugging, can’t wait to be on here regularly again. I know I owe several people replies, and I’ll work on them as I am able. Thank you for understanding ❤
Megatron is not ok. He paces in his quarters, trying to force his chamber shut manually and beyond being a bit painful it does nothing. Finally he comes to rest before a small mirror, looking into it hesitantly.

His spark. His soul, his being.
Darker than it had once been. Scarred. Tainted. Erratic.
Vulnerable.
He looks away with a sneer, covering it again. What could he do? The Decepticon lord could only remain in his room for so long before people began to question why he would not leave. Megatron for once finds himself… at a loss.
As Megatron paced in his quarters attempting to regain some semblance of calm, he found himself thinking about the eradicon that had managed to get into his account. While he was attending to other matters, he had had Soundwave set up security in order to keep it locked down. The passcodes and firewalls were nothing compared to those implemented in the main database, but that an untrained soldier had been able to access it from an outside terminal…
…was almost impressive.
Fragile body cradled by the azure mech, Soundwave raced back to the Nemesis. He burst into the medbay, startling the red medic into waking from his snooze. The young Lord was placed on a medical berth and Knockout rushed over, confused at the sight, but after seeing the sparkling’s condition he falls into his training. Open the chassis to release the pressure, seal the broken energon lines, hook him up to a processed fuel line for a transfusion-
Here Soundwave stopped him. Even at this size, Megatron still ran on dark energon and although normal fuel would be converted over time, it would put less strain on his systems to accept more of Unicron’s blood. Fortunately, Soundwave was also fueled by such. Knockout ran a tube from his thin arm to the tiny mech before continuing to work on realigning his shoulder and hip joints.
It would be a long night, but the blood of the Chaos Bringer would aid in the procedures and keep his little spark corrupted, but strong.
By morning, his systems are longer in critical danger. According to the sportscar, the stasis lock would wear off in time. For now, the little Lord slept, his guardian angel watching over him.
