[Chromia is working on the control panels, trying to fix as much as possible. The team and herself have just gotten out of stasis, after the drowsiness wore off, they immediately got to work, trying to see where they were, the ships condition, and if everyone was ok.]
Ratchet: Ugh, the radio interference on this planet is hindering our communications, I can't receive or send transmissions without it getting lost. [Ratchet grumbled as he continued working.]
Breakdown: A lot of things have been damaged, and half of the ships flooded. [Breakdown reported as he entered the room, soaked.]
Ratchet: Of course it is. [He sighed in exasperation.]
Hot Rod: Is there a way to drain it? [Hot Rod asked.]
Breakdown: There is, but it'll take a while, and there are other things that need to be done. [Breakdown replied as he walked up to the ground-bridge and started working.]
Optimus Prime: Status report? [Optimus asked, walking into the room.]
Chromia: A lot of things are damaged. The combinations are down, the ground-bridge isn't working, we can't make or receive transmissions because of this planet's radio interference, and half of the ship is flooded. [Chromia listed, then sighed.]
Optimus Prime: Do not worry, we will get our equipment back online. [Optimus assured her.]
[Just then, a proximity alarm began to sound. Megatron - who was also in the room - activated the cameras.]
Megatron: Looks like we attracted the locals. [Megatron said, looking at the screen.]
Chromia: What do we do? [Chromia asked, a bit concerned.]
Hot Rod: I vote we chase them away, we can't be bothered. [Hot Rod said with a shrug.]
Megatron: No. They didn't do anything wrong, they're just curious. Perhaps we should acquaint ourselves with them. [Megatron suggests.]
Optimus Prime: That would be best, it is always best to obtain friends rather than enemies. [Optimus agreed.] Chromia, continue work on the panels. Hot Rod, help Breakdown fix the ground-bridge, and Ratchet, try to get the communication system back online. Megatron and I will interact with the locals. [Optimus ordered, and everyone nodded before getting to work.]
[Then the two leaders left for the surface.]

[Meanwhile on the surface, there are a few men with weapons watching the water or the surrounding area, making sure nothing ambushed them. A dark-skinned man in a light grey suit is on the phone with someone.]
Agent Fowler: I don't see why we're out here General, nothing happened to the ship in 15 years, what makes you think -
[Just then, a silver jet flew out of the water along with a big red and blue vehicle driving out of the water.]
Agent Fowler:... I stand corrected. I'll let you know if we need any backup. [And with that, he hung up. By now everyone had their weapons pointed at the two vehicles, the jet hovering next to the other vehicle.] Who are you? [He asked suspiciously.]
[The red and blue bot spoke, but it wasn't a language anyone knew. After a moment, he spoke again, this time in English.]
Optimus Prime: Are you able to understand me now? [Everyone nodded.] Greetings, I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots, and that is my friend, Megatron. We mean you no harm. [Optimus explained.]
