Novastorm went in the lab to grab some distilled water until he saw something wrong. He turned his head as he saw the rock being even more bloodied as he paused. He was wondering who had touched the rock as he looked around. He looked seeing that the computers were off and the area was dim. Immediately he heard a clicking sound and looked to see the generators still working normally, showing that they were not corrupted and seem to generating energon cubes normally. He looked towards the desk with the different types of jars each containing a different body parts of a Cybertronian as Novastorm started to look unnerved. He quickly turned around cautiously as he leaned against the counter.
There Novastorm saw the power went off in the laboratory as his heart began pounding, he took out his flashlight waiting to see who would come out here as he heard footsteps. Soon he saw something truly disturbing that it made his heart fell. There he saw a Cybertronian with a snarky smirk, their optics black and gone. Their armour from their knees to their feet was spilt apart and their hands were floppy requiring them effort to lift one hand up. It looked a lot more spacious from the inside he guessed, their belly had knife marks and their body had bits of water dripping from them. Their head tilted to the side, revealing stitched human-like wound there.
Their back looked to be burnt as there was the smell of melted iron and their wings had been torn from the inside out. Novastorm stepped backwards as they came forward struggling to walk as their feet was slightly twisted from the side. Their hand which smelt mouldy reached out slightly and their upper torso had a hole in it, small holes in tissue was seen and Novastorm could see odd white bits around their wires. He immediately pointed his null rays at them as they soon grabbed him and scratched his optics and just in time, Novastorm immediately closed his optics getting his optic lids damaged instead of his optics. He immediately fell backwards and shot at the Cybertronian who fell towards the floor unconscious and gave a low sounding scream. Novastorm winced holding his optics in pain as he wiped the energon from there.
Soon he saw a flash of light came as Novastorm turned his head away as he winced from the power turning back on. He heard footsteps before hearing multiple amount of voices which he recognised as Thundercracker, Acidstorm and Shockwave. Immediately Thundercracker barged inside "What did we just heard- Novastorm!? What happened around here?" He yelled in surprise as he helped up the seeker as he looked over at his lids which had scratches. Acidstorm looked towards the Cybertronian and looked at Shockwave with a look of displeasure "Shockwave did you do this? This has your name written all over it." Shockwave turned to look at him, a little annoyed but kept his calm "No Acidstorm, This hasn't been under my observation and my experiments are a lot more organized." Acidstorm still looked a little doubtful but nodded.
Shockwave soon turned around the Cybertronian seeing their deformed shape and the gunshot on their belly. "It looks like they are not dead despite the gunshot. I got no idea how are they alive because their deformity should have killed them. This looks to be a sort of a seeker replica model from their structure and design." Shockwave looked over the two seekers before Vortex came inside by saying "Hey, I just needed to grab something-" Vortex soon paused seeing the deformed Decepitcon and Thundercracker holding Novastorm over his shoulder with a serious look. "Ah I was just going to grab something for Skywarp, I hope I didn't interrupt you so soon." But the sly Decepitcon wanted to coax out answers. Either way Thundercracker asked them "Should we tie the seeker up?" They all agreed with that even Vortex did.
Soon Novastorm was brought to the medbay as Thundercracker made him lay down on the berth. "Streetstorm! We got someone else here." One of the more crazed Medics called Streetstorm came out holding a syringe in his hand as he looked down at Novastorm before asking "Does he need a shot?" Thundercracker shook his head as Streetstorm face fell and he scowled at that "Fine then. I'll give him the normal cleaning." He grabbed a towel and disinfected it before wiping it across his eyelids as Novastorm hissed in pain "Argh! Don't move so much, we don't want a mess." Streetstorm scolded him before Novastorm opened his optics although it hurt to blink. "So your optics any better?" Novastorm replied back at him "They kind of hurt." Streetstorm nodded "Understandable. The neural circuits in your lids can make the pain feel worse. Your optics look fine however."
Novastorm asked "So are you going to fix the Cybertronain?"Streetstorm turned thinking for a moment before realizing what Novastorm meant. "The one we healed up? It would take more than just the healing." Streetstorm expression darkened for a moment before his smirk appeared on his face again. "Anyways! Since you look to be better now, you want to go?" Novastorm nodded as Streetstorm rushed him outside unexpectedly. "Who even decided he should be a medic, he has more questionable actions than Hook himself! Either way I should figure out what happened in the lab." He quietly tip-toed back trying to not alert his teammates around. He walked through the area and back into the lab as he had his hand around his gun. He turned on the lights and saw the rock there. He grabbed it before leaving quietly.
Meanwhile Skywarp had teleported to grab the ropes before tying around the Seeker's hip area which had irregular wounds. "There we go! That looks to be done." Skywarp put the ropes away as Nacelle looked over the Cybertronian. "He looks so bad in his current state. I never seen a seeker this... Torn apart." Shockwave nodded and attempted to open the Seeker's lids slightly open and they gasped in surprise expect for Shockwave who looked to be considering something. The inner eye lid had been stretched out slightly and there was scarring at the sides of the eye. "It's like this seeker been through extreme parts of the current war." Nacelle said remembering those who fought in harsh conditions and they were not a pretty sight. "Or they been through much worse." Thundercracker replied and nobody wanted to guess what he meant but they had a similar thought that they needed to make sure even as a dsyfunctional team that they would not leave anyone behind to such a tortuous event.
"So how long would you say it will take to fix him?" Acidstorm finally replied before Shockwave looked at him "The logical answer would be that smaller wounds can be healed in a few minutes. But the lacerations and disfigurement of their chassis and cadulen areas as a example will take slow progress. This is considering it without any further complications." They looked quietly as Shockwave asked them to take them there. He soon went back to experimenting on CNA as he walked away from the room. Thundercracker had told his brother Skywarp to not teleport them there because they may become worse. Despite Skywarp looking a little discontented, he nodded grumbling as he went to put them in the medbay.
