When the Past Catches Up

A quick note to say that this is based on a thread I did over on discord with the lovely @wwheeljack! It’s been condensed, rewritten in some areas, and edited, but still contains writing of theirs. Thank you for joining me on this journey! 💜

Of all the things Onslaught had expected to see on Earth, a partially constructed statue of his former leader was quite low on the list.

It had started when Onslaught detected a peculiar blip on his scans. A rudimentary signal meant to deter unwanted guests. The sort of thing that would work with keeping civilians away, especially of the human variety, but would stick out to those with military experience. Was it someone with limited tools and resources on hand, or someone who was new to Earth and did not yet see the human population as able to pose a serious threat?

Either way, Onslaught wanted to investigate who was responsible for the signal. It paid to keep tabs on which Cybertronians were hanging around on Earth.

Finding a towering Megatron staring down at him made Onslaught transform to get a better look at it. He keeps expecting to blink and see something else in its place, something that makes more sense to be here. Instead, he notices a flash of green and purple beyond the statue.

Despite having taken on an Earth vehicle altmode, the colors paired with the boom on their back leave only one option for who it is: Hook.

There’s a drawn out moment of silence while Onslaught attempts to decipher the scene before him. Any idea about not engaging and simply turning around to leave, however, is tossed aside when Hook finally notices him. It’s clear the Constructicon is equally surprised by his presence, try as he might to mask it.

Hook turns out to be the one to break the silence. “Onslaught,” he greets, his tone clipped and to the point. “I did not know you were on Earth.”

As the crane stares at him, Onslaught crosses his arms. And hopes that Hook does not point out his missing insignia. With any luck, he was too surprised to even notice its absence before Onslaught blocked his view of the spot it used to be. "My team and I made our own way here. I did not expect to see... this —” he nods to the Megatron statue, just in case Hook couldn't figure out what he was referring to, "— out in the middle of seemingly nowhere on Earth."

The rigid demeanor of Hook’s quickly turns into annoyance as he grumbles in a low voice. Onslaught can’t catch most of it, but could swear Hook was calling someone a buffoon. Hook then waves a dismissive servo, “There was a fault in the design, as there has been with each of the statues commissioned by Lord Megatron since our arrival to this planet.” The notable bite in his words was unexpected.

As was the explanation itself. Megatron was no engineer; any construction he ordered would not be drafted by his hand. So, logically, the design must have come from the Constructicons, yet it was apparently flawed? Curious. Onslaught almost pushes, but decides to hold back. His priority is to keep this encounter as neutral as possible, and be able to take his leave without fuss.

He ignores the building desire to simply demand answers from Hook. Onslaught prided himself on being able to keep a cool demeanor even in high stress or emotionally charged situations, and he did not wish to lose his composure so easily in front of someone who was effectively an enemy. Especially if Hook was not yet aware of that fact.

Onslaught nods. "Megatron shares some unfortunate similarities to Starscream. I know your team was tasked with building those statues in his image as well."

The mere mention of Starscream almost causes Hook’s composure to snap, if the sudden tensing of his jaw is anything to go by. His sharp gaze turns to inspect Onslaught. Instead of commenting further on Starscream, he simply stares in silence before giving a low hmm. “It is a relief to know a sane combiner team resides on this planet besides my own. Those... wretched Stunticons are idiots. As moronic as their leader is, unfortunately for every sentient being on this planet.” There's a pointed emphasis on the words ‘their leader’, as he turns back to study the statue, rather than Onslaught.

It raises the question of who exactly Hook is referring to: Motormaster or Megatron?

Onslaught gives Hook a sidelong glance. "The Stunticons made it through the exodus in one piece then? Hm." He isn't sure how to feel about that information, but it's useful to know, regardless. "Surprising. Still failing to live up to Megatron's expectations, I assume?"

"Naturally," Hook scoffs in annoyance. "They cannot complete even the simplest of tasks without getting injured, or torquing off one of their fellow Decepticons. I tire of repairing the lot of them simply because they are unable to behave themselves. No amount of lecturing gets through to them, and neither has Megatron accepted they are a lost cause and should be removed from the duty roster. They are a drain on our limited resources."

Onslaught nods along at Hook’s explanation. It's all what he'd expected to hear, what he's heard about them countless times before. Yet now... he can’t deny he feels uneasy at hearing it. Given what his own team had gone through with the loyalty programming, and the fact that the Stunticons had been formed after their attempt to kill Megatron, the idea that the youngest Decepticon gestalt might not be in control of themselves doesn’t feel too far-fetched.

No time to dwell on it now, though.

Luckily, he’s not given the chance, as Hook directs a question his way. "May I enquire into your team? Are you well? We have not heard from you since the fight on the Ark, and my brothers worried you had been offlined during the battle."

"We nearly did offline. Bruticus crashed back onto Cybertron’s surface from orbit. He was injured enough that he was unable to decombine for several days. It was... unpleasant." And left Bruticus traumatized, but he'd leave that part left unsaid. "Other than that, we have been surviving as best we can. We had been unable to make contact with any Decepticons since reaching Earth. Until now, it seems."

As soon as Onslaught mentions the extent of the injuries Bruticus had sustained, Hook’s gaze snaps back to him. It almost looks like concern as the Constructicon is clearly looking over his frame and asks, "Did you receive the proper repairs after Bruticus would not decombine?"

Both the concern and the inquiry are unexpected, especially since the incident had occurred years ago at this point. The anger Onslaught feels in response is also unexpected. It boils up so quickly, it almost threatens to take him over entirely. He lets out a slow vent of air in an effort to tamp it down. Hook certainly isn’t making it easy to keep up this forced casualness.

"There were no medics in the vicinity, and we needed to follow after the rest of you as soon as we were able. We took care of our injuries in the aftermath as best we could." He's sure Hook won't find that a satisfactory answer, but what else could they have done at the time?

When Hook turns fully towards him and moves to cross the unspoken divide between them, Onslaught tenses. His arms drop to his sides to allow himself more range of movement, should Hook try anything.

The Constructicon in question steps right up to him, huffing in annoyance as he straightens to his full height to stare down at Onslaught. "Considering the relative incompetence of your team's medical skills, I would recommend you allow me to examine you for any persisting injuries or internal issues that Bruticus' injuries could have caused. It is ill-advised to not seek medical attention after your combiner is injured." There’s a pause while Hook mutters under his breath. Then he has the audacity to prod Onslaught in the chest plate. "As your former Chief Medical Officer, I give this recommendation strongly. For the benefit of your entire team and Bruticus."

Fortunately, Onslaught isn't one to buckle under a stare down, not even one from a displeased medic. If anything, it only proves to fan the flames of his anger. This time he doesn't try to push it down. If Hook can see it? Can feel it? Good.

He meets and matches Hook's gaze. "I would suggest you keep your distance." Onslaught's tone is low. The warning is clear: keep your hands to yourself. "We have since been looked over by medical professionals. And do you know what they found?" Onslaught waits only a beat before barreling on, his voice rising in anger, "Do you? Did you know what was done to us?!"

There’s a flicker of something across Hook’s face - confusion, perhaps? - before he schools his expression. His tone when he replies can only be described as haughty, "Do so ever enlighten me, Onslaught. Clearly, I am missing some important datapoint that you presume I have prior knowledge about."

Onslaught roars and reels one arm back, then surges forward to deliver a swift punch to Hook’s abdomen. All the anger, all the hurt, it's reaching a boiling point and it wants out.

Bruticus doesn't just get his rage from Brawl.

"Loyalty programming," he spits out as Hook stumbles a few steps back and hunches over.

Hook has enough self-preservation instincts to raise his servos in a placating gesture. “I have no idea what you're talking about. I never came across any mention of loyalty programming in your medical records, nor found such a thing during scans.”

The gesture turns out to not do Hook much good; if there's one thing Onslaught hates, it's being lied to directly to his face. He knows there are old medical records that reference something being installed, he's seen them with his own optics. Were he not so blinded by rage, he could come to the logical conclusion that records of any sort could be redacted or kept out of the hands of lower ranking bots. If Megatron had ordered the loyalty programming to be kept secret, and Hook hadn't been involved with its installation, it very easily could've been hidden from Hook despite him being their medic.

But right now, Onslaught isn't thinking very logically. He grabs Hook and hefts the crane up off the ground with little resistance. “Do not lie to me," he warns, before throwing Hook into the statue of Megatron.

There’s a clang of metal against metal as Hook makes contact, then a thud when he crumples to the ground. Onslaught doesn't advance on him yet as he groans, allowing Hook to gain his bearings as he tries to get himself sitting upright. Instead, Onslaught speaks, "After the Detention Center, after millions of years of torture, there was no mercy. No forgiveness. No second chance. Megatron had us installed with loyalty programming to make us serve him against our will." It spills out of him of its own accord. "Everything has been a lie."

Hook slowly heaves himself back to his pedes, leaning on the statue for support while doing so. When he looks up at Onslaught again, it’s through a cracked visor. "Onslaught," Hook rasps, "I am not lying. I do not disbelieve you, but I have no recollection of any loyalty coding documented anywhere for your team. You... why do you think I would know about this programming?" There’s a pause as Hook seems to put the pieces together. "Are you implying that I engineered this loyalty coding? That I installed it?"

"You said it yourself, you were our Chief Medical Officer. There are only so many individuals who could have been involved in the creation and installation of that programming." Onslaught stalks forward. "You are among them."

So far Hook has been staunchly holding the position that he had no idea about the loyalty coding. But that response was expected. Who would confess to that sort of crime when one of the victims survivors was threatening you? Of course he's claiming ignorance.

"You know gestalts. You know us. It is not that far a leap to assume Megatron would turn to you for help in— in leashing us." Would a confession make Onslaught feel better? Not really. But there could be some closure. Some assurance in knowing how it all went down. The existence of the coding may have come to light, but there were still so many unknowns.

Yet Hook bristles with anger, as though offended by the accusation. "Megatron did not approach me for anything in regards to your team, aside from ensuring your frames adjusted to the replacement of your sparks and processors properly. I was not privy to any knowledge beyond that. I did not leash you or your team.

"The only time I have seen traces of loyalty coding was when I did an unauthorized scan of Wildrider after he complained of hearing voices and talking to another personality. I know gestalt, but I would never lower myself to forcing loyalty coding onto one of our own kind."

That makes Onslaught freeze in place, save only for his plating that continues shifting and flaring. Wildrider had signs of loyalty programming? That likely meant the rest of the Stunticons...

It was a possibility that the Combaticons had all landed on post-removal of the programming. That they weren't the first to have suffered that fate; perhaps not even the first combiner. And now confirmation of those suspicions was being thrown at him by Hook.

He could be a difficult bot at the best of times, but Hook held fast to his convictions, for better or worse. Onslaught does believe that he wouldn’t have willingly helped Megatron. Of course, reality relies solely on whether or not Megatron would have thought it worth the effort to try and force Hook's compliance. With bots like Soundwave and Shockwave ready and willing to follow his command, perhaps he hadn't.

Onslaught's servos ball into fists. But after a few moments, they relax open again. Despite the rage he's still feeling, he doesn't actually want to continue escalating things. Nor does he want to continue baring his spark and emotions to someone who still has ties to Megatron. He levels a glare at Hook. "Do not follow me. Any attempt will be taken as a threat, and I will respond accordingly."

Then, without another word, Onslaught transforms and drives off. He has much to think about. Much to discuss with his team.

Rolling peaks of green that speak of things that seem so avoidable - treetops higher than mountaintops - nothing stops them from topping the tallest. Above all, they paint life, a quaint life as they acquaint life around. Like trees, we stand atop all, branded to this land that granted us our life. Candidly, it commanded me, standardly abandoned me - slandered and mishandled me, expanded, and supplanted me - until it handed me you. A hue of blue, not quite a true blue, but a view to pursue greater than true... Before I knew it, it was you that drew it, you to brew it - no way to subdue it. You grew it. I've been through a lot, there is always a cost, I did draw my lot but life did accost. A fingertip, soft word of lip, a moral slip, abhor the grip. I board the ship and ignore the script. I didn't know you and didn't show you all that I am. I saw you, the Shaw you, unperturbed "the law" you. Your true self, propped on a shelf, the selfless and the flawed you. The hurt and the laud you, and the fraud me, the one that clawed me. It sawed me and gnawed me, and you accepted me - not expected me - but respected me. I rejected a dejected me, and you protected an infected me, you detected the neglected me and corrected the effected me - you inspected the uncollected me and stepped forward to intersect and connect with me.

Inspections can sometimes unearth serious flaws in a trial. For instance, in a 2005–2009 BIMO investigation of an IND application from Pfizer, Inc., Pfizer was cited for failing “to ensure proper monitoring of the investigation,” and, “as a result of inadequate monitoring, widespread overdosing of study subjects at multiple study sites was neither detected nor corrected in a timely manner.” The FDA noted that one of the pediatric subjects “experienced 12 days of overdosing with moderate akathisia and severe tremor.” The FDA also cited Pfizer for failing to guarantee that the study was conducted in line with the IND application's protocols. Pfizer's noncompliance with FDA regulations regarding pediatric trials is notable given the infamous case of its pediatric testing of Trovan in Nigeria.

In 1996, Pfizer tested trovafloxacin (i.e., Trovan) on 100 Nigerian children suffering from meningitis during an emergency outbreak. Eleven children died and others were left severely disabled. In subsequent lawsuits, the families claimed that Pfizer did not disclose that Trovan was an experimental drug and that their children could have received the established treatment for free from Médecins Sans Frontières (i.e., Doctors Without Borders), which was operating in the same hospital as Pfizer. The case is also notable for the jurisdiction questions it created; in June 2010, the Supreme Court denied Pfizer's petition for a writ of certiorari, allowing the Nigerian's claims to proceed to trial.

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have improved flaw detection to increase confidence in metal parts that are 3D-printed using laser powder bed fusion. This type of additive manufacturing offers the energy, aerospace, nuclear and defense industries the ability to create highly specialized parts with complex shapes from a broad range of materials. However, the technology isn't more widely used because it's challenging to check the product thoroughly and accurately; conventional inspection methods may not find flaws embedded deep in the layers of a printed part. ORNL researchers developed a method that combines inspection of the printed part after it is built with information collected from sensors during the printing process. The combined data then teaches a machine-learning algorithm to identify flaws in the product. Even more significantly, this framework allows operators to know the probability of accurate flaw detection just as reliably as traditional evaluation methods that demand more time and labor. "We can detect flaw sizes of about half a millimeter -- about the thickness of a business card -- 90% of the time," said ORNL researcher Luke Scime. "We're the first to put a number value on the level of confidence possible for in situ (in process) flaw detection." By extension, that reflects confidence in the product's safety and reliability.

Optimizing Operations with Industrial AI Services: Revolutionizing Manufacturing Efficiency

The rapid evolution of technology has transformed nearly every industry, and manufacturing is no exception. With the growing demand for faster production, cost-effectiveness, and innovation, manufacturers are increasingly turning to Industrial AI services to stay competitive. By integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into industrial processes, companies can unlock new levels of efficiency, reduce costs, enhance product quality, and improve decision-making. As AI technology continues to evolve, Industrial AI services are becoming essential tools for businesses looking to streamline their operations and achieve long-term success.

In this article, we will explore how Industrial AI services are revolutionizing manufacturing operations, the benefits they bring, and how companies can leverage them to optimize their manufacturing processes.

What are Industrial AI Services?

Industrial AI services refer to the application of artificial intelligence technologies in industrial sectors, such as manufacturing, supply chain management, and logistics. These services leverage AI, machine learning (ML), deep learning, computer vision, and natural language processing (NLP) to solve complex problems and optimize operations. By using AI to analyze vast amounts of data from sensors, machines, and production systems, companies can make smarter decisions, automate tasks, and identify inefficiencies in real-time.

Industrial AI services help businesses transform their traditional manufacturing operations into data-driven, smart processes. These services can be applied across a wide range of areas, from predictive maintenance and quality control to production optimization and resource management.

Key Benefits of Industrial AI Services in Manufacturing

1. Predictive Maintenance

One of the most significant advantages of Industrial AI services is the ability to predict equipment failures before they occur. In a traditional manufacturing environment, unexpected machine breakdowns can lead to significant downtime, lost production, and costly repairs. However, with AI-driven predictive maintenance, manufacturers can monitor the health of machines in real-time by analyzing data from sensors embedded in the equipment.

By using machine learning algorithms to detect patterns and anomalies, AI systems can predict when a machine is likely to fail, allowing maintenance teams to address issues before they lead to costly breakdowns. This reduces downtime, minimizes repair costs, and extends the lifespan of machinery.

For example, Industrial AI services can monitor the vibrations, temperature, and sound levels of machines, alerting operators to potential issues like bearing failures or overheating. By catching these issues early, manufacturers can schedule maintenance during off-peak times, ensuring that production runs smoothly without interruptions.

2. Improved Quality Control

In manufacturing, maintaining high product quality is crucial to customer satisfaction and brand reputation. Industrial AI services play a vital role in ensuring that products meet the required quality standards by automating quality control processes. Traditional quality control methods rely on manual inspections, which are often time-consuming and prone to human error.

With Industrial AI services, manufacturers can implement AI-powered quality control systems that automatically inspect products for defects, inconsistencies, or flaws. For example, computer vision algorithms can be used to scan products on production lines, detecting any imperfections that might go unnoticed by the human eye. AI can also analyze sensor data to identify deviations from predefined quality parameters, such as temperature or pressure thresholds.

By automating quality control, manufacturers can increase the accuracy of inspections, reduce the risk of defective products reaching customers, and lower costs associated with rework and scrap. Furthermore, AI-powered systems can continuously learn from the data they collect, improving their accuracy over time and adapting to new quality standards.

3. Production Optimization

Optimizing production processes is another area where Industrial AI services are making a significant impact. Manufacturing companies face the challenge of meeting customer demands while minimizing production costs and maintaining efficiency. AI can help manufacturers optimize production scheduling, resource allocation, and workflow management.

AI-powered systems can analyze data from various sources, such as inventory levels, production schedules, and machine performance, to create the most efficient production plans. These systems can also predict demand fluctuations, allowing manufacturers to adjust production levels accordingly. This helps prevent overproduction or underproduction, reducing waste and ensuring that products are available when customers need them.

In addition, AI can be used to optimize energy consumption and reduce waste in the production process. By analyzing real-time data on energy usage and production efficiency, AI systems can suggest ways to minimize energy consumption without compromising output, leading to significant cost savings and a smaller environmental footprint.

4. Supply Chain Optimization

A well-managed supply chain is essential for efficient manufacturing, and Industrial AI services can enhance supply chain performance by providing better visibility and improving decision-making. AI can be used to predict demand, monitor inventory levels, and optimize logistics, ensuring that materials and components are available when needed without overstocking.

For example, AI systems can forecast demand patterns based on historical data, seasonal trends, and market conditions. By using this data, manufacturers can plan their supply chain activities more accurately, reducing lead times, minimizing stockouts, and preventing excess inventory. Furthermore, AI can help optimize transportation routes, lowering shipping costs and improving delivery times.

AI can also be used to monitor the performance of suppliers and identify potential risks in the supply chain. By analyzing factors such as supplier reliability, lead times, and quality, AI systems can flag any potential issues before they impact production schedules, allowing manufacturers to take corrective action.

5. Enhanced Decision-Making

Industrial AI services enable manufacturers to make data-driven decisions by providing real-time insights into various aspects of their operations. AI can process large volumes of data from sensors, production lines, and other sources to identify trends, patterns, and potential issues. This allows decision-makers to act quickly and make more informed choices.

For instance, AI-powered analytics can provide real-time reports on production performance, allowing managers to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) such as throughput, cycle time, and downtime. By having access to these insights, manufacturers can make adjustments to optimize production processes, improve resource allocation, and reduce inefficiencies.

AI can also assist in strategic decision-making, such as identifying new markets, optimizing pricing strategies, or evaluating the financial viability of new product lines. By leveraging AI-driven insights, manufacturers can stay ahead of the competition and make decisions that drive long-term growth and profitability.

How to Implement Industrial AI Services

To successfully integrate Industrial AI services into manufacturing operations, businesses need to take a strategic approach. Here are some key steps to consider:

Identify Key Areas for AI Integration: Start by assessing which parts of your manufacturing process could benefit the most from AI. This could include areas like predictive maintenance, quality control, production optimization, or supply chain management.

Collect and Prepare Data: AI systems rely on high-quality data to function effectively. Ensure that your business has access to accurate, real-time data from sensors, machines, and other sources. Cleaning and organizing this data is crucial for ensuring that AI models can make accurate predictions.

Choose the Right AI Solutions: There are various AI tools and platforms available, each tailored to different industrial applications. Work with an AI provider that understands your specific industry needs and can help you implement solutions that align with your business objectives.

Train Employees: While AI can automate many tasks, it's essential to ensure that your workforce is equipped to work alongside AI-powered systems. Provide training to employees on how to use AI tools and interpret the insights they generate. This will help ensure a smooth transition and maximize the benefits of AI integration.

Monitor and Optimize: Once AI services are integrated, continuously monitor their performance and make adjustments as needed. AI systems should be regularly updated and optimized to ensure that they remain effective and continue to provide value.

Conclusion

Industrial AI services are transforming the manufacturing sector by enabling businesses to optimize their operations, reduce costs, and improve efficiency. From predictive maintenance and quality control to production optimization and supply chain management, AI is empowering manufacturers to make smarter decisions and stay ahead of the competition.

As the demand for more efficient and cost-effective manufacturing processes continues to rise, adopting Industrial AI services will be crucial for businesses looking to thrive in the future. By embracing AI, manufacturers can unlock new levels of productivity, innovation, and growth, positioning themselves for long-term success in an increasingly data-driven world.
