*Faster-than-light travel is an interesting thing. If you exceed lightspeed in real space - which Unicron-built astro engines are capable of - it's possible to get to your destination faster than your own image can reach the eye of an observer. The science involved is better not even contemplated by anyone not designed with the necessary processing

*The Fallen appears on the bridge of the Dis, his flames casting ever shifting shadows around the room. His voice is condescending and full of scorn.*

Hello, Little Galvatron.

*also frozen for the duration of the Fallen's visit; now, head snaps up, blinks like a newlymade coming online for the first time* What in the-?

*horrified* Galvatron!

*leaps to Galvatron's side, kneeling beside him, reaching out for him* Mighty Galvatron... my lord... are you - what happened?

*starts back, wide-opticked* Galvatron!? What's-

*even as he speaks, he realizes he's darting forward, one hand outstretched, and even as his fingers make contact with the warlord's crown it occurs to him that Galvatron may not appreciate his interference...*

*...it doesn't matter. Hot, chaotic darkness rolls across his consciousness in a wave and Rodimus shouts wordlessly in answer, purewhite fire summoned from his own source of ancient power in answer to his demand/plea to protect...!*

Unicron! Leave him alone!

*A harsh mixture of the Fallen's grating, yet autiere voice, and Unicrons arrogantly presumptious roar can be heard faintly across the bridge laughing like a tyrant whose plans are all falling into perfect place.*
