Confrontation with Shockwave didn't pass without consequences, Optimus's spark began to decay, and the Matrix of Leadership decided that his successor will be... Megatron, who wants to finally end the war.
The Lost Light crew is on their way to find...
(Play the soundtrack while reading the next episode)
Having instructed the guards so that no one should disturb Megatron today anymore – psychotherapist's recommendations - Rung walked quite calmly back to his office. Or rather, he pretended to do so. There was no sign of the recent guest nearby, but the seeker is quite predictable, he will stubbornly achieve his goals in different ways here and now, without a shadow of embarrassment, even if the very same goal is simply a desire to show off and demonstrate his superiority.
On the way to the elevators in wide brightly lit corridors he met only two mechs, both of the upper class. Of course, only high-ranking officials have access to these levels of the Citadel. After all, Optimus Prime himself lives here.
Rung walked slowly, as if he didn't know that a recent visitor was waiting for him at the elevators, the one who left Megatron's quarters so 'beautifully', and had previously promised to settle all issues with the ruler about his former leader's wish. Decided not to wait right at the door, so that everything wouldn't be too obvious... Well, let's see...
"I must admit, you are a rather brave mech," a voice said from Rung's behind when he was next to the elevators and only held out the right servo to the call panel. The orange-white bot turned towards Starscream, who 'accidentally' came out of the side corridor at that moment. Waited. This mech deserves praise for his dedication.

"What do you mean?" Rung didn't understand, lowering the servo and completely turning his entire frame towards the winged one.
"Well," the seeker slowly approached him, "to be alone with this slagma..." the psychotherapist's suddenly frowning face made him change his mind and not to pronounce this word, so Starscream hurried to correct: "Hmm... with Megatron." He spread servos to the sides. "Few warmechs would risk being around when he is not in stasis handcuffs and there are no guards around. But you..."
"I can take care of myself," Rung chuckled kindly, "and besides, Senator, you are exaggerating."
"I say what I know, personal experience, if I may."
"Conflicts are not born out of nowhere," Rung objected with a clear hint, crossing arms over his chest, "whatever happened between you two in the past, it was clearly not without a reason."
The seeker jerked offendedly, from what he caught an even more attentive and appraising look from the psychiatrist. There are individuals who don't admit mistakes or their own guilt... They are ready to condemn everyone around, if only to remain innocent.
"You wish to talk about it? I still have time before departure." Rung readily suggested while the other gathered his thoughts. "We can meet today or tomorrow in my office, whenever you say." The look of the white-orange mech softened: "Your work is intense, serious emotional stress can be quite expected. I am ready to listen."
