    Summary

    During the Orion Pax event, Starscream did three things differently: He blew up the computer before running away; He almost got caught by Megatron which got his wing blasted; He didn't trust Autobots to not hold his injury against him but is still vengeful enough to provide free information about space bridge because fuck you Megatron.

     

    Basically I messed with the timeline and put the Airachnid plot before the MECH plot. AND yes, It is another Starscream redemption arc because we need more of those.

    Oh, btw, Shockwave is here, don’t ask why and how because MAD SCIENTIST HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    Summary

    The calculations flashing over Soundwave's HUD go ignored as Laserbeak chitters in worry.

    How could this be? He's loyal to Megatron, and yet, the numbers don't lie, can't lie. Megatron has abandoned The Cause. Abandoned it, in favour of conquest and settling old scores.

    -----------

    Soundwave has to decide if he's loyal to Megatron or The Cause he dedicated his Spark to. Starscream has to escape.

    Summary

    Starscream has been found in critical condition after a fight with Megatron. It will be a very long road to recovery.

    How will he change under the Autobots care? How will the Autobots change with one of their worst enemies stuck in their medbay? How will the Deceptions manage without their Second in Command?

    Change is inevitable. Whether positive or negative, only time will tell.

    12/Sep/25 small update! I'm editing past chapters to fix my usage of "Raph" instead of Raf (sorry) and fix some terminology mistakes (fixing head to be helm and whatnot where I've made mistakes)

    Also, I've cemented a head cannon (first mentioned in the end notes of chapter 23) that Starscream uses Cybertronian time measurements, so I've made some small edits here and there to keep things consistent! Time keys can be found on multiple chapters from before I started implementing this as a part of the story, but I've added one to chapter 3!

    As this is my first fic, I have tried my best not to outright re-write things as I like seeing how far I've come :)
