It was mid-afternoon. The lone sun of this single star system hung lazily in the pit of the sky, dragging over the circumference in its slow descent towards the horizon. After vorns of desolation away from living Cybertronian kind, the atmosphere healed over: thick smoke stacks of ever-burning factories dissipated, and the orange hazy smog that once layered thick the entirety of Kaon vanished. Mid-day heat was no longer a sweltering, miserable affair that burned into top plating and seeped right into the groves and seams.
Shockwave finds that traveling through the city and its perimeter to be less taxing on his frame. Before, it was impossible to step outside and return without a layer of ash and dust veiling his featureless mask for a face, obscuring his already limited vision. Now, he was granted full visibility well over 20 meters on his forward path, bypassing the need to waste power on directional sensors. Clearing the full length of Neo-Kaon, he crossed over the border to travel down into a neighboring land: the Deadman's. An entire sector carved out into a straight fixture of mining facilities entrenched into the topography of the desert.
What was once empty flatlands now steeply dropped into a subsurface plateau. A sophisticated network of tunnels and refineries winding even deeper than what could be seen.
Stepping dangerously close to the corner edge, the logician peered down into the caverns, casting a wide glance over the forgotten architecture that forever sleeps in this hole. He could still hear the loud crash-bang of the drill pips dropping their full weight into the pits with their strapped pulleys laboring them up the derrick for another plunge.
His destination lies within the middle building, beyond the refinery, and deep into the caverns itself. There existed no functional electric grid, leaving the facility to lay dead as Shockwave passed through it, forcing him to cram a crowbar into air-tight locks and break the seals for prohibited entry. There exists enough strength in his only working arm to jam the curved end of his tool into hydraulic doors and pry them open wide for his broad form to slip through. He repeated this process several times before he dipped into the actual mineral deposit. No need for any gadget to ping the strong, chemical scent of raw energon that his own starved body could recognize.
A faint iridescent glow shined over one of the drops in this cavern, leading Shockwave towards it. He only intended to carve a sizable batch to synthesize for a half vorn. At least, he had outlined this straightforward plan up until he crossed the threshold of when the glow saturated the cavern walls to meet a dark rigid shape disturbing the ethereal ambience.
There was no mistake — it was a bot. Shockwave couldn't discern any visual specifics other than they were present and it appears they were not a new arrival, on account of their lax, non-urgent frame language.
Cradling what meager amount he managed to gather into a single servo, he ripped his vocoder to life with an alerting scratch before his voice projected from it, " what are you doing here? "

" You will have many lords, but you will only ever have one Master — me. You'd do well to remember that. "
And remembered it he did, for eons.
His servos quaked at the memory for no utterance has ever branded his impassive mind such as that. At the moment it was spoken, it was no more than a passing jest between professor and assistant. A joke shared between two aspirational business ventures. Shockwave recalls the bitter notes of high-grade wafting between them when Jhiaxus said such a thing with a latent sincerity. The senator not knowing any better, at the time, and in his gleeful ignorance woefully misunderstood the passing of this curse.
Maybe Jhiaxus truly was bantering with him, but there was a truth in it. After all, once their illustrious Institute fell under the calamitous persuasion of bombshells, and their wonderful city was gutted by raids and militant suggestion, Shockwave imparted with nothing of himself and everything of his master.
This life's work he offered in exchange of protection, rations, and a formidable rank that stood class against base infantry — none of it was truly his. All these useful ideas were born from the penumbra of Jhiaxus' imagination, repurposed and improved by his favored student. Shockwave possessed many ideas of his own, projects, schematics, plans, but what was truly his does not have place in weapon forges nor on front-lines. Everything that was relevant to this feverish conquest for what is "just" came from another. Rudimentary and unfounded as many of the principal ideas were, but would never be Shockwave's. Not by technicality.
For the first solar century, this was of inconsequential value. It didn't matter where ideas were salvaged ( the wheel was created; everything afterward fell short of its genius ), what mattered is that it worked, that it could be ameliorated, and it could not be totally tampered with.
But then, the vorns toiled on. At some point between near extinction of the populace and the edge of unimaginable horizons, Shockwave believed to have reached the apex of what could be achieved against what materials he had at his disposal. He was practically sole inventor of most machinations —everything forthcoming to that a rip-off or cheap copy of them—, he found he could not host pride. Unattainable emotions should be the only stop-gap in gating him from experiencing the thrill of achievement, but in all that rumination, there was also the bothersome fact he could not claim it in signature. Not earnestly.
And so, his mind returns to Jhiaxus' words. The ' lords ' have come and gone through titles of Primes and warlords, Shockwave did not faithfully kneel to them in spirit, only in body, yet here he stood carrying the legacy of his Master in everything he did: in his work, his ideology, his grand purpose.
Circuitry-synpases fired in his brain-nodule, lighting aflame what hardly sparked, but he could not experience it. He could not feel this— what shall he call it? Hatred ? Malcontent ? No, something far more iniquitous than that- that evades definition.
Even in his silent seething, all he could manage was a vacant stare over his workbench, servo poised to ruin it all, but could not. It was illogical to act on pettish things like emotion, spark demanding.

I need to say something and I need y'all to be calm
if it isn't actively bad or harmful, no representation should be called "too simple" or "too surface level"
I have a whole argument for this about the barbie movie but today I wanna talk about a show called "the babysitters club" on Netflix
(obligatory disclaimer that I watched only two episodes of this show so if it's super problematic I'm sorry) (yes. I know it's based on a book, this is about the show)
this is a silly 8+ show that my 9 year old sister is watching and it manages to tackle so many complex topics in such an easy way. basic premise is these 13 year old girls have a babysitting agency.
in one episode, a girl babysits this transfem kid. the approach is super simple, with the kid saying stuff like "oh no, those are my old boy clothes, these are my girl clothes". they have to go to the doctor and everyone is calling the kid by her dead name and using he/him and this 13 year old snaps at like a group of doctors and they all listen to her. it's pure fantasy and any person versed in trans theory would point out a bunch of mistakes.
but after watching this episode, my little sister started switching to my name instead of my dead name and intercalating he/him pronouns when talking about me.
one of the 13 years old is a diabetic and sometimes her whole personality is taken over by that. but she has this episode where she pushes herself to her limit and passes out and talks about being in a coma for a while because of not recognizing the limits of her disability.
and this allowed my 9 year old sister to understand me better when I say "I really want to play with you but right now my body physically can't do that" (I'm disabled). she has even asked me why I'm pushing myself, why I'm not using my crutches when I complain about pain.
my mom is 50 years old and watching this show with my sister. she said the episode about the diabetic girl helped her understand me and my disability better. she grew up disabled as well, but she was taught to shut up and power through.
yes, silly simple representation can annoy you if you've read thousands of pages about queer liberation or disability radical thought, but sometimes things are not for you.
