No, no, no, no, no.

Reckless or not, and she knew she'd be called on it at best, Sara jumped into Ram-Dass as soon as she could. It was noticeable, it was bright magenta, but it was fast. The fastest she could get.

She didn't know where to find him, but Emily would know. Somehow, Emily always knew.

When Sara arrived she'd find that she wasn't the only one there. Just moments earlier Vernwy had carefully landed with it's lone passenger.

After his battle, Sam was a wreck. He'd been forced to use it and in the process the one thing he feared above all else had come to pass. His once dark eyes were now a pale white and stared uncomprehending. His body was stained with blood, although it wasn't possible to see whose blood it was. The voices in his head jumbled up and blended together that he was lost, just one voice in the many. His unstable mind meant that travel was slow as he didn't even try to hold on and the dragon had to be careful in it's flight.

Vernwy had intended on returning to the ship immediately, but seeing Prime's body, it made an unscheduled stop. Something that might once have been Sam saw the robot's body and approached it, and peered in curiosity. "The spark once known as Lucifer knows you."

Prime would have remembered the last time he was in a similar state, but unlike last time there would be no return.

He'd been running since... he couldn't really remember. All he knew was that he had to get to Prime. Not for any feelings of loyalty or sense of comradeship (not that he would admit to, anyway), but because Dinobot was never one to miss the chance for a truly glorious battle.

But he had missed this one. Finally rewarded by his search for Optimus, the Predacon slowed his run, and transformed out of Beast Mode. His optics widened in shock at the sight before him. What in the Inferno had been able to do this to Optimus?? And where was it now?!

And... what was that white thing standing beside him? Looking at Sam Lucifer, he carefully tried to analyze whether it was a threat or not... but it did not seem to be attacking. Warily, he turned his attention back and knelt down by the helmet of the fallen leader of the Autobots. "Hrah.... Optimus, you sympathetic fool. What have you done?"

Prime did not waste energy trying to sit up. Instead, he stared around him at those who had arrived. "What...are you doing here? I told you to run! That's -- an order!" he rasped, vocalizer damaged but still operational.

Oh, no.

He recognized Sam's state. "Dinobot, Sara -- you'll have to...take Sam with you. I've seen him...glitched like this before. He's damaged. You have to--" Static cut Optimus' words short. It would take a moment to clear.
