FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 150 YEARS

For @compaculaaa's wtfiys for the sparkling sibling au.

It has been a long time since they’ve done this, and ‘this’ being a family dinner. It has been a good 150 years since their family has been in the same place. 96 years since Archa 7 where Elita 1 was left behind to become the spiderformer known as Black Arachnia and claimed that she wanted nothing to do with her brothers who had seemly left her behind, 96 years since Optimus was expelled from Autobot Academy by his own sire when he took the fall for his older brother, Sentinel, 50 years since Optimus’ space bridge repair crew was attacked by Megatron leaving them trapped in stasis pods on an unknown planet, 3 years since Optimus’ team awoke on Earth, and a year since Ultra Magnus was attacked by the Decepticon spy Shockwave, who turned out to be Longarm Prime their old daycare teacher turned head of intelligence, and left in a coma for a year.

With Optimus’ return from Earth with a captured Megatron, Lugnut, Starscream’s dead body and the missing Autobot scientist Mesothulas. With everything that has happened to them and how badly the siblings’ relationship has deteriorated over these last few years none of the thought that this family dinner was going to end well. What they weren’t prepared for was Alpha Trion to bring out the family photo album and start telling them stories from when they were younger.

The Prime family dinner so far has been awkward to say the least to say the least so far. They had tried getting Uncle Maccadam to come, but Maccadam’s Old Oil House’s annual drinking contest ended up falling on the same the day that everyone else could agree on to meet, so he wouldn’t join them until much later. Ultra Magnus originally didn’t want to join them and leave it to just be a Carrier/Creation bonding day, as he was set to join the crew of the Lost Light captained by Rodimus Prime after stepping down from being the Magnus, but Alpha Trion had forced him into coming as he wouldn’t be on Cybertron for possibly years.

Finally Alpha Trion had enough of the awkwardness and practicality no one talking to each other. Alpha Trion pulled out a thick oldish looking book from his subspace and slammed it down on the table startling the other members of his family.

��Since nobody’s talking to each other, I think it’s time we go down a little trip down memory lane,” said Alpha Trion as he flipped through pages.

The siblings and their sire nervously looked at each other not knowing what the oldest member of their family was going to throw at them. Finally, he stopped at a page he liked and held up the book so his family could see. The picture was of Ultra Magnus up a five-year-old Sentinel so the shopkeeper of the store that they were in could see him. The shopkeeper was a tall lanky bot who looked a little like Shockwave with their clawed servos and singular yellow optic surrounded by black nothingness. The shopkeeper held up a pointed digit up towards Sentinel with a tired expression while Sentinel gave them a look that could only be read as ‘get the pit out of my face’.

“Darling, you remember this don’t you?” asked Alpha Trion.

Ultra Magnus’ face was filled with displeasure and disappointment looking at the shopkeeper in the photo. Black Arachnia and Optimus found it in themselves to snicker at sparkling Sentinel’s face while grown up Sentinel sat in between them presently. Ultra Magnus gave a sigh before saying that he does.

“I hardly doubt that any of you kids would remember this, but this was when Optimus had that weird obsession with trains and clocks, and wanted a clock that was also a train, I had just wanted to buy a cheap plastic toy train and the glue a small pocket watch on it, but your sire was having none of that and insisted on getting a costume one made,” said Alpha Trion before pausing the story to take a sip of his drink.

“After the war there weren’t many places selling physical clocks that weren’t apart of kitchen appliances, because every bot switched over to using their internal chronometer, so your sire ended up searching all over the planet looking for someone to make this clock, and the only bot who makes costume clocks anymore turned out to be Whirl, who was apart of the last platoon he taught when he was just a drill sergeant,” said Alpha Trion laughing lightly.

That would explain their sire’s sour mode when he saw Whirl in the image. They’ve all heard stories of how all their sire’s Autobot bootcamp students going on to be great and decorated war heroes. So, one having end up as a simple shopkeeper selling and making clocks would be like one of them becoming a dock worker and not going into the military or in a science field.

Optimus felt embarrassed to have his childhood obsession with trains and clocks, of all things, brought up again after having long grown out of it. At least Sari and Bumblebee weren’t there to hear that, because knowing them they would mercilessly bully him for it, albeit playful bullying. Both Sentinel and Black Arachnia gave the faintest of ghost smiles upon being reminded of Optimus’ childhood obsession.

Alpha Trion started flipping back through the book before finding another photo he liked. Once again, he held the book up high for everyone to see.

The photo was another of Sentinel when he was younger, this time he was a youngling instead of a sparkling. He was sitting on the floor, arms crossed and pouting, looking clearly beaten up. Standing beside him was their sire looking disappointed in his son. Next to them was another beaten up kid and their parent. The other kid although was of a smaller frame build, but their armor looked much thicker than Sentinel’s, with a purple, black and yellow paint job and bug like features, and on top of that the kid looked clearly proud of themself. The parent was another tall lanky bot whose most notable feature was that two of their wheels were encased in metal skeleton wings with two arch shaped metal pieces below each of the wings, they had orange coloured optics, which was rare for an Autobot, and the thing holding the look together was their rust red and sliver colour scheme. The winged bot as though they were barely keeping themselves from laughing.

Sentinel’s face flushed upon seeing the picture as he stood up. It looked like Sentinel remembered clearly what led up to that picture being taken.

“Don’t you dare tell them about that!” Sentinel yelled while pointing at their carrier.

While making no attempt to hide the fact that she was laughing, Black Arachnia grabbed ahold of one of Sentinel’s arms. Optimus followed his sister’s lead and grabbed ahold of Sentinel’s other arm. Both of them pulled Sentinel back into his seat while shaking him slightly.

“Come Senty, let carrier tell us the story,” said Black Arachnia in a sing song voice.

“Plus, it had happened a long time ago,” added Optimus.

Sentinel made a face of disgust at them before snaring.

“Well it isn’t your embarrassment being outed,” replied Sentinel.

“Sentinel, it’s in the family album it’s meant to be something to look back and laugh at,” said Black Arachnia in a matter-of-fact tone.

Sentinel crossed his arms and slumped down into his chair. Optimus thought that it made Sentinel look just like he did in the picture, which made Optimus laugh.

“The story behind this, was that Sentinel had gotten into a fight with the kid next to him. Sentinel thought it was a fight he could easily win, but the kid he was fighting with easily beat him,” said Alpha Trion looking fondly on the memory.

“Your sire wasn’t even mad that he got into the fight, but that he lost it, your sire was even more upset with the fact that the kid’s carrier found the whole thing hilarious and said, ‘at least you didn’t lose’ to their kid,” said Alpha Trion.

Black Arachnia and Optimus couldn’t keep it back and burst out laughing. Sentinel glared at his siblings but that made them laugh even harder than before.

“Hot damn, they look fine though,” commented Black Arachnia.

Black Arachnia’s comment made Ultra Magnus spit his drink and for Optimus to stop laughing. Sentinel audibly ew’d at his sister’s comment.

“I’m sorry?” asked Ultra Magnus, still in shock.

“I said what I said that kid’s carrier is fine,” replied Black Arachnia.

“Elita you can’t say that about people you don’t know,” said Alpha Trion.

Black Arachnia let out a low growl at being called Elita. She scoffed and rolled her optics’ at her carrier’s comment.

“Relax carrier, I do know them, they’re the one who introduced me to Sliverbolt in the first place,” said Black Arachnia.

For everyone other than Alpha Trion and Black Arachnia this was their first-time hearing about this Sliverbolt bot. Ultra Magnus had the worst-case scenario pop up in his mind. Was his baby girl courting someone without him knowing? Ultra Magnus shook that thought from his head, there was no way his daughter got into something that serious without telling any of them.

“Who’s Sliverbolt?” Optimus asked.

“Oh, he’s just a friend, Acidbrust introduced to me at a science conference when he was helping them move some things that they needed for their presentation,” said Black Arachnia a little too quickly and while rubbing the back of her head with her servo.

Black Arachnia’s older brothers and sire looked at her speciously, already not trusting this Sliverbolt bot.

“And how do you know Acidburst?” asked Ultra Magnus.

“Oh, I met them after my accident in one of Fortress Maximus’ many labs, they were originally assigned to my case but managed to convince Perceptor to let them transfer back to the project they were working before mine,” said Black Arachnia more casually than when she was talking about Sliverbolt.

Ultra Magnus let the relief wash over him. ‘Good, so this Sliverbot bot is just a lab assistant that she met, nothing to worry about,’ thought Ultra Magnus. Unlike their sire Sentinel and Optimus couldn’t care less if their sister was courting someone or not, it was none of their business and her decision. They would only get involved in their sister’s love life if the guy she happened to be an afthole.

During the time that Ultra Magnus, Sentinel and Optimus took to question Black Arachnia, Alpha Trion flipped through the photo album again looking for another picture he liked. Finally, he found one, slamming his servos down on the table to get everyone’s attention. Once again, he held the book up for everyone to see the image clearly.

The photo was of a Black Arachnia when she was Elita 1 as a young child. Elita appeared not to be happy whatsoever. Laying around her were some of her childhood dolls, and next to her was another youngling who appeared to be holding one of Elita’s dolls and giving Elita a questioning look. The youngling was a femme of a larger build, she also had the same colour scheme as the kid that Sentinel had gotten into a fight with only with slight barely noticeable alterations, on top of her helm was two large grey horns and a red visor covering her optics. All of this gave the youngling Decepticon look.

“As all of you know Elita used to be a bit of a brat when she was younger,” started Alpha Trion, “this was when we decided that you kids needed some friends who weren’t also children of high council members, even though I don’t think that you even got along with most of them.”

Sentinel, Optimus and Black Arachnia remembered their creators painful attempt at getting them to try to make more friends. All the younglings that they tried to get Black Arachnia to befriend all liked to rough house and run around screaming when she didn’t, the kids Optimus was forced to be friends with were way too into horror and gore to be healthy for younglings their age when he couldn’t stand that kind of things at all, and Sentinel could not get along with anyone outside of council kids at all back then. It was a disaster to say the least.

“Elita couldn’t stand the kids we set up playdates with, especially Shrapnel here, because according to Elita she was ‘too wild’, which is funny to look back on when you realize that Shrapnel is also Acidburst’s creation along with the kid, Bombshell, in the picture with Sentinel I just showed you,” said Alpha Trion while smiling.

Now that was kind of funny knowing that Black Arachnia was friends with Acidburst themself and with someone they introduced to her. Black Arachnia had changed quite a lot since childhood especially when her accident happened, so it made sense that she was able to get along with bots that before she normally wouldn’t have gotten along with. Sentinel made a mental note to look up Bombshell’s name in the Autobot database to see what he had been up since their last meeting. Optimus also wondered what they were up nowadays, so he also made a mental note to look up each of Acidburst’s creations on the database.

Black Arachnia cringed thinking about her past behaviour, it was just too embarrassing to be something that she would do now with her disfigurements. She also felt even more embarrassed because her creators were cooing over how cute she used to be as a sparkling and her brothers laughing slightly at it.

” Well, since you told us about our childhood, how about you tell us about yours?” asked Black Arachnia, “it only seems fair.”

Alpha Trion laughed at his child’s comment. Ultra Magnus was worried about this because he knew, judging off the stories he was told by Alpha Trion and Maccadam, that his conjunx and his siblings were menaces to society when they were younger.

“Of course, my child, because unlike some bots I am not ashamed of my childhood misadventures,” said Alpha Trion.

Alpha Trion flipped to the front of the book where the pages had yellowed, and the edges of the paper were heavily damaged. That section of the book was very thin, making everyone else realize that because this was so long-ago Alpha Trion probably didn’t have that many photos of his siblings that survived the years. After a shot time Alpha Trion, found a photo that he liked. Alpha Trion looked sadly at the photo before holding it up for the rest of the family to see.

The photo displayed a youngling of about 13 vorns old, with a dark almost purple blue and black paintjob, a crown like headpiece and a flowing purple cape with stars all over it, but the thing that caught everyone’s attention was the fact that the youngling’s face was obscured was a blinding that travelled down to their chasis, sitting down in front of a fountain. Behind the youngling and fountain in the sky, clear as day was two older younglings sword frighting each other. The two younglings were being lifted into the sky by the thrusters in their pedes, they were quite obviously flyers. The one on the left had a white and magenta paintjob with gold highlights, with rather untraditional wings making it obvious that they weren’t a seeker or any kind of jet. The one on the right had a primarily red paintjob with some white here and there and some purple on their helm, without a doubt the figure in the picture was Alpha Trion when he was a youngling.

“You’re a flyer!” yelled Sentinel in shock.

Black Arachnia froze when she realized this, now that she thought about it, she had never saw her carrier transform for all she knew her carrier could have been forged a monoformer. Suddenly a lot of things made sense for Optimus now knowing the information that his carrier is a flyer. Like how he was able to master flying around with his jetpack on Earth so quickly despite never having flown like that before and why Slipstream had thought that he was Starscream. Sentinel did not like flyers at all, mostly because it seemed like all of them were Decepticons, but he did like the jettwins because the council had complete control over them, so the information that his own carrier was a flyer it him the hardest. Ultra Magnus had known about Alpha Trion’s altmode since they started courting and will forever be guilty about the fact that he made it practically illegal to be a flyer or have an altmode that was warframe aligned on Cybertron, even though Alpha Trion was the one who suggested the law as a way to end the war.

“This was when one of my brothers, Vector, and I had gotten into a fight over something I had long forgotten about and we ended photobombing a picture our carrier was trying to take of our youngest sibling, Orionus, in front of a fountain in the newly founded Metroplex, unseen in this image is Beta laughing like a manic as she climbed a building to try and join our fight while our oldest sibling, Prima, tried to break up our fight,” said Alpha Trion while laughing remembering his siblings and his antics when they were younger.

Everyone took some time to fully process that story. Getting into a fight with one of your siblings and accidentally photobombing their carrier as they tried to take a picture of one of their other siblings seemed like that Sentinel, Optimus and Black Arachnia would do. Ultra Magnus looked like he was glad that his conjunx was no longer like that and has since grown into the role of wise old mentor.

“Who’s Beta?” asked Optimus, “they aren’t in our family tree.”

Alpha Trion’s optics went wide at the question before realizing he was the one who brought up Beta in the first place, before a sad look came across his face. Ultra Magnus looked concerned for his conjunx, he knew that Beta was a sour topic for Alpha Trion. Alpha Trion had only mention Beta a servo full of times, he could count the number of times Alpha Trion mentioned Beta to him on one servo, but from what he knew, Beta was a freedom fighter in the early days of a war long forgotten to modern day historians and later a general in the Destrons army, the combined forces of the Autobots and Decepticons’ military back when they were a single faction.

“Beta was my only conjunx before bonding with your sire, she died long before the Autobot/Decepticon war had begun, the only reason why she wasn’t in any of the family trees was because back then we only added conjunxs to the tree after they had a creation with the family member they were bonded, and well, Beta and I never had any creations during the time we were bonded for,” said Alpha Trion sadly.

This was the most information that Ultra Magnus had ever heard about Beta. He always suspected that Alpha Trion had been involved before, but the elder bot had never told him about any of his past lovers, and he had no interest in finding out about them. The siblings also became sad upon learning about their carrier’s dead conjunx, everyone knew that losing a bondmate was one of the most painful things that could happen to someone not only because they were losing someone, they loved but because they were also losing apart of their spark as well.

Before they could become even more depressed by this information the dinning room door suddenly slammed open. Everyone immediately turned their heads to who had opened the door. Standing in the doorway was Uncle Maccadam and an unknown bot with a white and sliver paintjob who looked like in another life they could have been a flyer but appeared to have a sports car altmode.

“Hopefully, I’m not too late,” said Uncle Maccadam, “also I found this one pacing around outside, he said that he had wanted to talk to Black Arachnia.”

Black Arachnia looked surprised to see the sliver bot there before blushing and turning her face away from him. Ultra Magnus saw this and did not like the picture that was forming in his head.

“Hi,” said the newcomer while waving, “the name’s Sliverbolt.”

The boys and their sire were surprised to hear that this was Sliverbolt because he did not look like a lab assistant, especially one that would be in a biology lab. That was when they noticed his Autobot insignia was that of the Elite guard but there was a thin line of red surrounding it signalling him to be a member of the Autobot Airforce. That was when it hit Ultra Magnus on who Sliverbolt was, he was the youngest Airforce captain, even though when he was just a pilot, he wasn’t named the youngest pilot because that title belonged to a monoformer by the name of Nyx and was the commander of a small team known as the Airealbots despite having a fear of heights. At least he was someone that he could keep tabs on and not some random shopkeeper, but that still doesn’t mean he trusts Sliverbolt’s intentions with his daughter.

Sentinel looked grumpy to find out that Sliverbolt was a member of the airforce but Optimus was just glad to meet someone who was able to make his sister happy after her accident. Sliverbolt looked nervous to see all of Black Arachnia’s family there, he obviously wasn’t expecting a family dinner to be going. Alpha Trion waved at them to join them at the table. It took everything in Ultra Magnus to not turn the family dinner into an interrogation by questioning Sliverbolt about his relationship with Black Arachnia.

The rest of the afternoon went by smoothly. Even though Ultra Magnus and Sentinel were staring daggers at Sliverbolt and Uncle Maccadam annoying the ever-living spark out of Alpha Trion. They spent the afternoon playing boardgames and going over more photos from the photo album with Sliverbolt sharing a few stories about his team which made Optimus respond with stories of his own team. All in all this afternoon made them realize that there was still hope for their family despite all the tragedy their family faced in recent years.

The Consort and the Warlord Ch16

Summary: Megatron uses the All Spark to gain access to Cybertron and demands a peace treaty. An Autobot Consort is offered and Optimus is chosen. A Bonding Ceremony takes place and now Optimus has three vorn to figure out exactly what Megatron wants to do with Cybertron.

Pairing: Optimus Prime x Megatron

Continuity: Animated

Status: Ongoing

It didn't take long for Optimus to get used to his new post as Ultra Magnus' secretary. The first cycle was spent shadowing him, learning his schedule and being introduced to other mechs that Optimus has never met. A second cycle to be introduced to the Council, to go over everything that Megatron had done and a third cycle to test the oils and start working for real. By the fourth cycle, Optimus was certain he could do most of the filing himself, only needing to ask Ultra Magnus about specific data pads or how he wanted a meeting rescheduled. Before then, Optimus hadn't realized not only how many meetings that his leader went to but how many fuelings he took with Council members, politicians and nobility that made up upper Iacon. Optimus was grateful that he didn't have to go to any of these; knowing full well he couldn't handle the high scale lifestyle thry afforded. Though he was still introduced to each bot when they met up before being dismissed for the cycle.

It was on the fifth cycle that Optimus met Sentinel Prime for the first time since returning to Iacon. The mech gave him a disgusted look but sauntered over like he was the most powerful mech there. With little hesitation, Sentinel draped his arm across Optimus' shoulder kibble like he'd done countless times in the past. Optimus felt a bit of panic sink in his tanks as his processor tried to figure out exactly what Sentinel wanted.

"Hey there, Optimus old buddy." Sentinel began, his tone not nearly as condescending as Optimus was used to. "I hear you've gotten yourself back into Ultra Magnus' good graces and even got yourself a spot in Council meetings. Must be nice having someone do all of the work for you."

"Let go, Sentinel." Optimus said, stepping out of the other mech's hold. He ex-vented in relief when Sentinel didn't try to touch him again. "It's only a temporary position until everything with the Decepticons is figured out."

"Of course it is!" Sentinel scoffed, shrugging and stepping closer to Optimus once more. "After all, a position at Ultra Magnus' side is meant for better bots than you."

"Like you?" Optimus goaded.

"Obviously!" Sentinel exclaimed. "I am his right servo mech! I'm the closest to being the next Magnus and you're just his glorified secretary bot! Though even that's too good of a position for the likes of you!"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Optimus asked, clenching his servos.

"It means that once Ultra Magnus remembers how much of a frag up you are, he'll send you straight back to repairing space bridges where you belong!" Sentinel got in close, jutting his digit against Optimus' chassis. "Because that's all you deserve, that or cleaning gutters!"

As Sentinel walked away, Optimus said nothing. How could he when Sentinel wasn't wrong? He was a frag up who didn't even deserve to lead a space repair team and his own selfishness had led to them being offlined. Instead he trudged back to his habsuite, a small accommodation near the tower that Ultra Magnus had set up for him. Another thing that was far nicer than anything Optimus deserved.

The habsuite was sparce of anything personal, rented furniture and appliances decorated it without a single piece of individuality. Optimus just didn't see a point in trying to make the place feel like home when it could be taken from him at any time. And aside from the short commute to his current place of employment, the only nice part was the nice view it gave him of Iacon being on the top floor. Another aspect that Optimus knew he shouldn't have but at least he could appreciate it whilst he did.

Like usual, Optimus entered the habsuite, turned on the lights and immediately collapsed onto the small sofa occupying the living space. The large windows showed him a beautiful sky as Hadeen began to sink but Optimus found himself too tired to appreciate it. His conversation with Sentinel kept playing over and over in his processor and while he couldn't fault the mech, part of him thought that Sentinel hadn't said everything he'd intended neither. Like he was holding back and knew something Optimus didn't know and wasn't allowed to know. Sentinel was never good at hiding things.

Optimus decided that pondering such things would just cause him more stress than he already had. Instead he opted to take a shower, refuel and get some work done to prepare for the next cycle. That would get his processor off of things and let him focus on what was truly important, like the five meetings and two meal plans Ultra Magnus had the next day on top of his normal work. The schedule would be tight and Optimus couldn't falter, not at a time like this.

So he got up and made his way to his berthroom which was right across from the wall of windows. The door opened automatically for him and he'd just made it to the attached wash rack when he heard the sound of pede steps coming from the other room. At first he thought he was hearing things but a shushed curse came along with a dense thud and now Optimus was sure someone had broken in. Pulling his axe from his subspace, he opened the door to face his intruder but froze.

There, taking up most of his living space and with his back kibble to rhe window, stood Megatron. Shadows cast in front of him, red optics glowing above as they stared down at Optimus. They grew wider just slightly before narrowing as the warlord took a step closer to Optimus and reached out his servo. Optimus took a step back in panic, his kibble hitting the wall behind him as he pointed his axe at the Decepticon in an attempt to keep distance between them. Megatron stopped, looking at the axe and then back to Optimus who glared at him, fear leaking from his field.

"Optimus-" Megatron began.

"Stay away!" Optimus shouted. "H-how did you get here?"

Megatron glanced back and Optimus followed his gaze to the wall of windows where one was opened. He didn't know they did that. Why did they do that?

"Why are you here?" Optimus asked. He wanted to comm for help but feared the moment he tried, Megatron would attack. Right now he seemed non-threatening but Optimus knew that could change in a spark beat.

"Why do you think?" Megatron asked. He didn't like how Optimus was behaving. At first he thought it was an act and somebot was watching but the fear he could feel was real. Something happened to his consort and Megatron would find out what.

"I won't go back!" Optimus protested. "Not after what you did to me!" He tried pushing himself against the wall more– he wanted to disappear right into it.

"And tell me, what did I do to you?" Megatron asked, stepping closer. Maybe not the wisest idea, but he needed answers.

Optimus hesitated, panic visible in his field and features. He readjusted his grip on his axe as his pedes shuffled a bit to keep him from falling. "Y-you attacked me! You held me down and tore out my Autobot mark!" Optimus shouted. "And when I tried to escape you beat me till I was nearly offline!"

"You removed your mark of your own accord." Megatron stated firmly.

"Liar!"

Optimus lunged forward, bring his axe down ad best as he could. But raw emotions did not make for accuracy and Megatron easily disarmed him. As soon as his axe hit the ground, Megatron pulled Optimus to his chassis with one arm, holding him securely despite the feeble protest the smaller bot continued to give him. These stopped though when Megatron brought his servo to Optimus' cheek plate.

"What have they done to you?" Megatron asked, his voice stressed as his field washed over Optimus.

The small bot looked at his captor in shock at the confusion, the pain he felt coming from Megatron. Why was the one feeling pain? It should be him who was hurt after everything!

Megatron was a master manipulator! He was gas lighting him!

So why does he seem so sincere?

No it's a lie! A trick!

So why does being next to him feel so safe?

"Hey, Megatron can I come in? It's scary being out here?"

Optimus froze. He knew that voice, he'd never forget it. He struggled a bit trying to see who Megatron was now turned to and when he finally got a glimpse, it was of the bright yellow armor. Brightened by the sun and full of color stood a mech Optimus thought was dead.

"Bumblebee!" Optimus exclaimed, relief riddling his voice as he nearly collapsed against Megatron in surprise. The warlord tightened his grip to steady the smaller bot before letting go. Optimus practically ran to the small bot, hugging him close before looking him over frantically.

"You're not offline!" Optimus said.

"Well I mean I almost was coming here." Bumblebee retorted. "Megatron just grabbed me and we flew here and he just left me on the sill. I can't fly!"

"Ultra Magnus said you were offlined. You and the others…" Optimus said in disbelief.

"Woah woah, wait, he said what?" Bumblebee asked. "All of us are still kicking! Even Ratchet surprisingly."

Optimus finally sank to his knees in defeat. He didn't understand. Had Ultra Magnus lied to him? But why? He covered his helm with his servos, trying to put together everything but he couldn't remember. He only remembered being attacked by Megatron and then waking up in the medic bay in Iacon with Ultra Magnus. Nothing else!

Megatron knelt beside Optimus and carefully tilted his helm towards him with a servo under his chin. Optimus was panicked and clearly trying to figure things out but Megatron knew that he couldn't. Not by himself. In all honesty only Primus knew how Megatron was able to stay so calm himself because now that he knew that Optimus had been messed with, he wanted to raze all of Iacon and have Ultra Magnus' helm on a pike. But no, he couldn't do that, not after everything his mechs have done for peace, not after everything Optimus had done to prove they could live together despite their differences. So instead he spoke as calmly as he could and hoped that his consort could understand.

"Optimus, I need you to listen, don't interrupt and let me finish everything I have to say." Megatron began. He didn't start until Optimus finally gave him a small nod, optics locked. "Your memories have been tampered with. The events that you recall, our fighting, the removal of your mark, the demise of your team and anything else have been fabricated by Ultra Magnus to turn you against me.

"I can't say I know everything but my guess is he intends to use you to respark the war. He and the Council don't approve of the fact that the civilians want to integrate with us and so they have manipulated you into being their martyr."

"That's not true!" Optimus began, leaning towards Megatron as anger began to build.

"Is it not?" Megatron asks. "Then why were you told that your team is offline but here stands one of them? Why were you told I ripped your Autobot mark from your when your own medical records show the surgery done by your own medic?"

"Why should I trust the biggest liar in the galaxy?" Optimus argued.

"Your council has held that place far longer than I've been online!" Megatron retorted.

He stood now and looked down at Optimus. He knew that it wasn't his consorts fault. If what he thought was correct and Optimus had under gone shadow play than there was no way he could do anything. But it was frustrating! It was frustrating to see the mech who'd opened up so much to them and their culture be reduced back to the single processor views of the Autobot indoctrination. And it was even more frustrating that Megatron could nothing about it at this time and neither could he take Optimus with him.

If Optimus had truly been subjected to shadow play, then he needed to change his approach about the entire situation. Grabbing him and bringing him back to Kaon by force would be counter productive and could very well make things worse. He also needed to find a bot familiar with the procedure so he could find some way to reverse it. Sure he'd never heard of such things being done or being possible but he wouldn't just let Optimus go back to being a drone of rhe Council's, not after everything the two had been through. So instead, Megatron turned back to the window and grabbed Bumblebee by his scruff.

"I will leave for this cycle but I'd suggest asking your Magnus about the questions you can't find answers to." Megatron said before jumping out and flying off.

Optimus knew he needed to report this. Primus he should've reported it the moment he saw the warlord but instead he sat on the floor of his habsuite as Megatron’s figure disappeared along with the rest of the light of Hadeen. And when the sky finally turned dark and the first moon came into view, only then did Optimus stand up and close the window before making his way back to his berthroom and collapsing on his berth. He didn't have the energy to deal with anything for the remainder of that cycle.

When the next cycle came, Optimus found himself outside Ultra Magnus' office with datapads in servo and a knot in his tanks. The knocked over sofa from the cycle before proved that Megatron had in fact entered his habsuite and had not been some nightmare Optimus' stressed processor had created. And the fact that he had walked there meant that his decision to not report the break in was also true and his guilt began to eat away at him. But Megatron’s glyphs played on repeat in his processor and he needed to ask at least one question to his leader.

So when he finally entered and found Ultra Magnus already at his desk, he decided that running away was not an option. Gathering every bit of courage he had, Optimus walked up to the large desk and waited for Ultra Magnus to notice him. When the large mech finally did, he put down his datapad to give him a polite greeting.

"It is good to see you, Optimus, did your recharge well?" Ultra Magnus asked, his optics looking the smaller bot up and down.

"Ah, I-yes I did, thank you for asking." Optimus lied. His grip on the datapads tightened but he would not falter now. "Ultra Magnus, sir, could I ask a question?"

"You may." Ultra Magnus answered.

"Did you lie to me about my team being offline?" Optimus asked quickly. He looked down at his pedes in shock. He hadn't meant to blurt it out like that! The entire scenario he'd spent half of the night cycle trying to figure out having gone out the window. He couldn't look at his leader now but when Ultra Magnus said his designation, Optimus had to look up.

"Why do you ask that?" He narrowed his optics, suspicion radiating from him despite his tightly closed field. Optimus felt his tanks sink.

"I-I saw Bumblebee on my way to my habsuite." Optimus said carefully. It was a lie, he was lying but he just couldn't bring himself to admit that Megatron had been in his habsuite the night cycle before.

Ultra Magnus let out a deep vent before sitting back in his chair. Optimus glanced up at him and it was obvious that his leader seemed annoyed by what he said but not necessarily upset.

"I believe I told you they were compromised." Ultra Magnus began. "I meant it in that they were persuaded to join the Decepticons. When you took it as them being offline, I figured that was easier for you to accept at the time than knowing that your team betrayed you."

Optimus said nothing. It made sense. Bumblebee had been pretty comfortable around Megatron, something he never would've been. Then did Megatron bring him to try and sway him to his side? Optimus couldn't remember how the speedster or his other team members interacted with tge Decepticons. Did they get along? He couldn't remember…

"Optimus." Ultra Magnus spoke his name loudly. Clearly it wasn't the first time he'd been called.

"I apologize, sir." Optimus said quickly. "I was caught off guard seeing Bumblebee again."

"I should've explained the situation once you'd settled down but now that you know, I expect you to treat them as you would any other con." Ultra Magnus spoke coldly, like he wouldn't accept any different.

And with a heavy spark, Optimus agreed.

⠀⠀⠀𝐀𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 : 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐂𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐀.

➤ Lithification / The Crystal’s Curse

Leechdoms against Aetherborne Lithasis, the disease of stone engendered upon a man's flesh or hight commonly the Crystal's Curse. Concretion comes oftenest of corrupt humors after exposure to surfeits of Aether, at which time the flesh whilom grows swarthy. To asses severity and progress of the disease, with frequent scarifying, whilom with mickle, whilom with slight, wean and draw calculus from the affected place. Should the excrescence be purulent the patient is not to be let blood on a vein, but rather be tended with potions of a perfluent and calming nature applied inwardly, with which the senses might be deadened. Let the sufferer drink this for sixteen mornings, more if there be need of it, and let him partake in neither milk of the Stolas, nor the flesh of Bo, be it wild or domesticke, nor flesh Wyrm, nor fresh Aldgoat, nor aught of that with armor of chitin or shells, as the Adamantoise, and by no means let them draw of the foul smoke of tabac. Should the excrescence be stony, the flesh is to be fomented and warmed and to be tended with warm appliances. You shall first warm the cold with triturated sulfur mingled with flecks of aurum weighed against one gil. Take then a kettle and put of the sulfur and aurum two parts to one of wine and mingle with bomb ash and Chocobo sharn and a wort hight Morganbeard of which the netherward part is grated and sifted through a sieve. Boil till that it be as thick as a tear of honey and smear wound therewith and overlay the wound with linen and woll of a ewe sodden in sharp vinegar.

⸻ The Art of FINAL FANTASY XVI

Aether in XVI borrows some similarities and properties from other Final Fantasy games ( considered the life force of the star and all living beings ). It's something to be respected and left undisturbed, and the consequences of its abuse range from mild to dire. ( eg. why the land reacts so violently to the Mothercrystals. One’s Aether is could arguably be attached to one's psyche as well. Hence why the Akashic are void of their wills. At the end of the day, everything returns to the star and its rudimental form ). Those who wield swords typically direct magic to their non-dominant hand as the curse will manifest there first, so they can preserve some dexterity should it render them immobile in the future. Both hands are used when more Aether is needed to channel magicks.

Like mentioned earlier, Aether probably isn't intended to be weaponized, and it’s why Bearers / Dominants who concentrate and utilize it beyond its purpose are afflicted by petrification and neuropathic damage. It’s also why Crystal fetters cause pain and exhaust those enchained when removed. It gradually kills ( and possibly explains why Clive experiences so much pain when he absorbs the power of other Eikons. But, I'm curious as to why he feels no discomfort in Cid or Jill’s case, when Ramuh and Shiva are absorbed, respectively ). Disrespect nature and it'll disrespect you.

The nerves of the body could play a significant role in the channelling of Aether. Dominants prime and a loose outline of the nerves of the face light up while suffused with Aether, but in the process, it damages internals to the point of coughing blood if the Dominant is too liberal in its use. It's debatable if a Bearer is able to concentrate nearly as much as a Dominant could ( I don't remember any comparable examples ), so their symptoms aren't quite as violent. In the case of the Phoenix and Bearers who are capable of healing, they likely reverse injuries by tampering with their patients’ flow of Aether, repairing the flesh at the cost of their own.

Just as an aside, Heartstone ( embedded in Clive and Joshua's vambraces aka The Founders’ Grasp(s), and found in the belly of elder Griffins ) is a byproduct of an excess of Aether. Contrary to what Harpocrates said, and maybe this is my deviation from canon, but I don’t think beasts are exempt from the negative affects of channelling Aether. The process is likely just slower for them compared to humans. I don’t doubt there are some that have considerably high tolerances to it by not weaponizing their Aether ( eg. Chocobos ). Torgal's a special case, and doesn’t call upon his own Eikon nor Aether, but rather the ambient Aether collected from his companions. His armour could act as insulation to protect him from the effects, like a Crystal shard. In Griffins, it’s limited to a sac around their hearts rather than the entirety of their bodies. Their anatomy probably evolved in such a way that Aether is condensed in such a way rather than suffused throughout like humans.

Also Jill's skin isn't pristine and free of scarring either, which is another deviation from canon, and I want to draw a visual of that later!!

#⸢ Jill looks completely fine because it's another case of female protags gotta look PERFECT and that shit's got me heated #cause she is absolutely not fine. ⸥#— 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐘. ╱ headcanons. ❜

🧠 (Daniel) & 🤩

🧠 Pick a character, and I'll tell you my favorite headcanon for them.

okay so Daniel:

horrifically messy. living out of a suitcase for years did a number on his ability to keep a space organized, then living on night island where they almost certainly had maid service spoiled him to the point he just doesn't clean up after himself. #1 most likely culprit in the mystery of 'who left their socks on the living room floor AGAIN' at trinity gate.

i've said it before but i'll say it again: star trek nerd, his first crush was spock and that rewired his brain and primed him to fall for another weird, inhuman being with a dry sense of humor and difficult to read emotions.

nervous flyer, despite all the traveling he did. whether that's from the fear of turning and finding armand in the seat next to him during the chase years, or just because being trapped in an airplane is so unnatural, he always had a couple glasses of whiskey in the airport lounge to take the edge off before a flight (something he misses being able to do as an immortal now, because unless he can find a drunk traveler to steal a nip off he just has to grit his teeth and deal).

contrary to fanon, not that great with technology lol he's got a can do attitude and will try his damndest to fix the wifi when it goes down, but smart cars with computers in the dash board? every appliance in the house needing internet or blue tooth? he'll take the old school mechanical stuff you can repair yourself, thanks. trinity gate has a speed queen washing machine from the 90s because he refuses to push more than three buttons to do his clothes.

🤩 Who is your favorite character to write?

oh wow HM who could it be??

i just really like armand's pov, he's got so much going on in his head, he's always a little out of place. you can just dig SO deep with him and his eccentricities. and there's so much in QotD that anne just montage'd. we don't get a real explanation for why he moved apartments so much, what drove him to leave new york for night island, why he wanted to visit annapurna.

you could take it all at face value (he liked trying on new clothes because they're something different!) or you can really mine the psychology behind it (issues with not having the freedom to choose his own looks most of his life, the desire to try on personas because he doesn't know who he is, wanting to torment daniel because he knows daniel drools over a man in tight high waisted jeans- the possibilities are endless!!)

he's weird, he's sad, he's fun, i adore him and all his crimes ♥

Hydration Hero: Alkaline Water's Power This Summer

What Is Alkaline Water?

Alkaline water is simply water that has a pH above 7—typically ranging between 8 and 9.5—due to added or naturally occurring minerals like calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium. These minerals increase the total dissolved solids, shifting the water’s hydrogen ion concentration and making it more basic (less acidic) than neutral tap water.

How pH Influences Hydration

A higher pH doesn’t just alter taste; it may also improve hydration dynamics. Studies show that drinking alkaline water can reduce urine specific gravity after strenuous exercise, indicating better fluid retention and potentially more efficient recovery during summer workout. This effect is linked to improved acid–base balance in active individuals, which supports cellular hydration mechanisms.

Key Benefits of Alkaline Water

Following are the major benefits of alkaline water:-

Enhanced Hydration Research involving trained athletes found that those who consumed alkaline water maintained better hydration status post-exercise than those drinking regular water.

Optimized Acid–Base Balance Habitual intake helps stabilize blood pH levels within the normal range, reducing long-term stress on renal buffering systems.

Improved Bone Health Alkaline water rich in bicarbonate minerals has been shown to decrease bone resorption, supporting healthier bone density over time.

Relief from Acid Reflux Water at a pH of 8.8 can neutralize pepsin, the enzyme linked to heartburn, offering soothing relief from occasional acid reflux.

Cardiovascular Support Long-term consumption has been associated with reductions in blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol markers, contributing to overall heart health.

Antioxidant Potential Alkaline water can activate antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD), helping protect cells against oxidative stress.

Energy and Recovery Boost By enhancing lactate utilization during high-intensity intervals, alkaline water may help sustain energy for longer summer activities.

Choosing the Best Alkaline Water Machine in India

Selection Criteria

pH Adjustment Range: Look for machines that can reliably deliver water in the 8.0–9.5 pH window to maximize hydration and health effects.

Filtration Technology: RO-based purifiers with integrated mineral reintroduction offer the cleanest water plus alkalinity control. Alkin Water models, for example, can raise RO output pH by up to 2 points, turning slightly acidic water into ideal alkaline water.

Plate/Chamber Upgradability: Machines such as Chanson’s ionizers allow you to add more plates over time for stronger alkalinity without replacing the whole unit.

Certifications & Warranty: Ensure NSF/ISO certifications and robust after-sales support for peace of mind.

Top 2025 Recommendations

Alkin Water: Praised for its multi-plate ionization and stable pH output, making it one of the best alkaline water machines in India.

Drink Prime Alkaline Purifier: Tailors pH elevation based on your source water and features smart monitoring via an app.

KENT Supreme Alkaline RO: A bestseller in March 2025, combining RO, UV, and UF stages with an alkaline booster for consistent performance.

AO Smith Z5: Ideal for families, this versatile purifier works across multiple source waters and provides reliable alkaline water output.

Integrating a Water Softener System for Home

Why Install a Water Softener?

Hard water—high in calcium and magnesium—leaves scale on pipes, fixtures, and appliances, shortening their lifespan and reducing efficiency. A dedicated water softener system for home can:

Prevent limescale buildup in plumbing and heaters.

Improve soap and detergent performance, reducing cleaning time and product use.

Deliver softer skin and shinier hair after showers.

Extend the life of water-dependent appliances, saving on energy and repair costs.

Types & Selection Tips

Salt-Based Softeners: Use ion exchange to replace hardness minerals with sodium, ideal for whole-home use but require periodic salt refills.

Salt-Free Conditioners: Neutralize minerals via crystallization; lower maintenance but less effective for very hard water.

Dual-Tank Systems: Ensure uninterrupted soft water during regeneration—perfect for large households with continuous demand.

Magnetic/Electronic Softeners: Compact, easy to install, though their long-term effectiveness remains debated.

Consult a qualified plumber to test your water hardness and recommend the right capacity and model for your home’s needs.

Summer Hydration Strategies

Meeting Your Fluid Needs

Experts recommend about 15.5 cups (3.7 L) of fluids per day for men and 11.5 cups (2.7 L) for women, adjusting upward in hot climates or during intense activity. When relying on alkaline water, aim for these targets with at least half of your intake coming from pH-balanced water to maximize the Benefits of Alkaline water in sustaining energy and preventing dehydration.

Practical Tips

Morning Ritual: Start with a glass of alkaline water to kick-start hydration and acid-base balance.

On-the-Go: Carry a refillable bottle; many modern alkaline machines feature portability attachments.

Combine with Soft Water: Installing a water softener system for home ensures the alkaline water you use in showers and cooking is also gentle on hair, skin, and appliances—enhancing overall summer comfort.

Infuse for Flavor: Add citrus slices or mint for a refreshing twist that encourages you to drink more throughout the day.

Conclusion

This summer, take charge of your hydration by switching to alkaline water and pairing it with a reliable home water softener. You’ll enjoy not only superior fluid balance and digestive comfort but also better bone health, antioxidant support, and long-term savings on appliances. Whether you choose the Alkin Water, DrinkPrime purifier, or the KENT Supreme Alkaline RO, investing in the best alkaline water machine in India will keep you energized and protected under the sun. And by incorporating a water softener system for home, you safeguard your plumbing and enjoy softer, cleaner water everywhere you turn—making every sip a true hydration hero moment.

How Can Mould Testing Confirm Hidden Infestations?

Mould is a persistent and often hidden problem that can pose serious risks to both health and property. While visible mould growth is easy to identify, many infestations remain concealed within walls, ceilings, under floors, and in ventilation systems. Without proper testing, these hidden mould colonies can continue to grow undetected, leading to poor indoor air quality and structural damage. Mould Sample Testing plays a crucial role in uncovering these hidden threats and ensuring a healthier living or working environment.

Why Is Mould Sample Testing Important?

Many property owners assume that if they can't see mould, it isn’t there. Unfortunately, this is a dangerous misconception. Mould can thrive in damp and poorly ventilated areas, spreading through microscopic spores that are invisible to the naked eye. Mould Sample Testing provides a scientific method to detect and confirm the presence of mould, even when it is not visible.

Testing helps to:

Identify hidden mould colonies before they become a serious problem.

Determine the type of mould present, which is essential for effective remediation.

Assess indoor air quality and detect airborne mould spores.

Pinpoint moisture sources contributing to mould growth.

Provide evidence for property transactions, insurance claims, or landlord-tenant disputes.

By conducting Mould Sample Testing, property owners can take proactive steps to address mould issues before they escalate, preventing costly repairs and health risks.

Common Areas Where Hidden Mould Grows

Mould tends to develop in areas with high humidity, poor ventilation, and moisture buildup. Some of the most common hidden mould hotspots include:

1. Behind Walls and Ceilings

Leaks from pipes, roof damage, or condensation can lead to moisture buildup behind walls and ceilings. Since these areas are not immediately visible, mould can thrive for months or even years before being detected. Mould Sample Testing can identify spore presence in these hidden spaces by using air sampling and surface swabs.

2. Under Flooring and Carpets

Water damage from spills, flooding, or leaks can lead to mould growth under carpets, wooden flooring, and tiles. Even if the surface appears dry, trapped moisture underneath can create the perfect environment for mould to flourish. Testing helps confirm whether hidden mould is present beneath the surface.

3. Inside HVAC Systems

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems can become breeding grounds for mould if they are not regularly maintained. Mould spores can circulate through the air ducts, affecting indoor air quality and causing respiratory problems. Mould Sample Testing can detect airborne spores within HVAC systems, ensuring a cleaner and healthier environment.

4. In Attics and Basements

Poor ventilation and roof leaks often contribute to mould growth in attics, while basements are vulnerable due to their naturally damp conditions. Since these areas are not frequently inspected, mould can spread unnoticed. Testing in these locations can help identify potential infestations early.

5. Inside Kitchen and Bathroom Cabinets

Leaking sinks, poor ventilation, and high humidity make kitchens and bathrooms prime locations for hidden mould. Mould often develops inside cabinets, behind appliances, and around plumbing fixtures. Mould Sample Testing can confirm contamination in these areas before it becomes a widespread problem.

Types of Mould Sample Testing

Several methods are used to detect and analyze mould growth in properties. The right approach depends on the suspected infestation's location and severity.

1. Air Sampling

Air sampling is one of the most effective ways to detect hidden mould. A device collects air samples from different areas of the property to measure the concentration of airborne mould spores. These samples are then analyzed in a laboratory to determine mould types and levels. This method is particularly useful when there are no visible signs of mould, but occupants experience allergy-like symptoms.

2. Surface Swab Testing

Surface swab testing involves collecting samples from suspected areas, such as walls, ceilings, or furniture. A sterile swab is used to wipe the surface, and the sample is sent to a lab for analysis. This test confirms the presence of mould and helps identify the specific species.

3. Bulk Testing

Bulk testing involves taking a physical sample of contaminated materials, such as drywall, carpet, or insulation. The sample is analyzed in a lab to assess the extent of the infestation and determine the best remediation approach.

4. Moisture and Humidity Testing

Although not a direct mould test, measuring moisture and humidity levels can help detect areas at risk of mould growth. High moisture levels indicate potential hidden mould problems, prompting further investigation.

Signs That You May Need Mould Sample Testing

While some mould issues are visible, others require testing to confirm their presence. You should consider Mould Sample Testing if you experience any of the following:

Musty or damp odours that persist even after cleaning.

Unexplained allergy symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, or skin irritation.

Water damage history, including leaks, flooding, or condensation issues.

Peeling wallpaper, bubbling paint, or discoloured patches on walls and ceilings.

Recent property purchase or rental where mould history is uncertain.

Presence of black spots or fuzzy growth in damp areas.

Testing in these situations ensures that any mould problems are detected and addressed before they escalate.

Preventing Hidden Mould Infestations

While Mould Sample Testing is essential for identifying existing mould, taking preventive measures can reduce the risk of future infestations. Here are some tips to keep your property mould-free:

Control Humidity Levels: Keep indoor humidity below 60% using dehumidifiers and air conditioners.

Fix Leaks Immediately: Address plumbing and roof leaks as soon as they are detected.

Improve Ventilation: Use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens to reduce moisture buildup.

Regularly Inspect Hidden Areas: Check under sinks, behind appliances, and in basements or attics for signs of moisture or mould.

Use Mould-Resistant Materials: When renovating, choose mould-resistant drywall, paints, and insulation.

Schedule Routine Mould Testing: Regular Mould Sample Testing ensures early detection and timely intervention.

Conclusion

Mould infestations often go unnoticed until they cause significant health and property damage. Mould Sample Testing is a crucial tool in detecting hidden mould colonies and assessing indoor air quality. By using advanced testing methods like air sampling, surface swabs, and moisture analysis, property owners can identify mould issues early and take necessary remediation steps.

If you suspect mould in your home or workplace, don’t wait until it becomes a bigger problem. Scheduling a Mould Sample Testing session can provide peace of mind and help maintain a safe, healthy environment. Taking proactive steps today can save you from costly repairs and health complications in the future.

What Are the Benefits of Professional Aircon Cleaning Services?

Air conditioning units have become an essential part of modern living, providing comfort and a controlled indoor environment. However, like any other household appliance, air conditioners require regular maintenance to function efficiently. One of the most critical aspects of air conditioning maintenance is professional Aircon Cleaning Services. While some homeowners may attempt to clean their air conditioners themselves, professional services ensure a thorough and safe cleaning process. In this article, we will discuss the numerous benefits of hiring professional Aircon Cleaning Services and why they are worth the investment.

1. Enhanced Air Quality

A clean air conditioning system is crucial for maintaining high indoor air quality. Over time, dust, dirt, mould, and bacteria accumulate in the filters and ducts of an air conditioner. When the AC is in operation, these contaminants can spread throughout your home, leading to various health issues such as allergies, respiratory infections, and skin irritations. Professional Aircon Cleaning Services ensure that all components of the air conditioner are thoroughly cleaned, reducing airborne pollutants and providing cleaner, healthier air for your home or workplace.

2. Improved Energy Efficiency

A clogged or dirty air conditioner has to work harder to maintain the desired temperature, leading to increased energy consumption. When dust and debris accumulate in the filters and coils, the system's efficiency decreases, resulting in higher electricity bills. Professional Aircon Cleaning Services include a deep cleaning of these components, allowing the unit to run more efficiently. A well-maintained AC unit not only reduces energy costs but also has a lower environmental impact.

3. Prolonged Lifespan of the Air Conditioner

Regular maintenance and cleaning play a vital role in extending the lifespan of an air conditioning unit. Neglecting to clean the system can lead to overheating, frequent breakdowns, and costly repairs. By hiring professional Aircon Cleaning Services, you can ensure that your unit remains in top condition, preventing unnecessary wear and tear. This means fewer replacements and a longer-lasting investment in your cooling system.

4. Prevention of Mould and Bacteria Growth

Mould and bacteria thrive in damp environments, making air conditioning units a prime breeding ground if not cleaned regularly. The presence of mould in an air conditioner can lead to serious health concerns, including asthma and other respiratory issues. Professional Aircon Cleaning Services include the removal of mould and bacteria, ensuring a safer and healthier indoor environment. Experts use specialized cleaning solutions and techniques to eliminate these harmful contaminants effectively.

5. Better Cooling Performance

A dirty air conditioner struggles to cool a room effectively. Blocked air filters, dirty evaporator coils, and clogged condensate drains hinder airflow and reduce the cooling capacity of the unit. Professional Aircon Cleaning Services restore the system’s optimal performance by cleaning these components. As a result, your air conditioner will provide better and more consistent cooling, ensuring maximum comfort.

6. Reduced Repair Costs

Routine professional maintenance helps detect potential issues before they become major problems. During a professional cleaning service, technicians inspect the unit for signs of damage or malfunction. Identifying and addressing minor issues early on prevents costly repairs and sudden breakdowns. Investing in regular Aircon Cleaning Services can save you from expensive emergency repairs and the inconvenience of a malfunctioning air conditioner.

7. Elimination of Unpleasant Odors

A musty or foul odor coming from your air conditioner is a sign of accumulated dirt, mould, or bacteria. These unpleasant smells can make your indoor environment uncomfortable and even unbearable. Professional Aircon Cleaning Services remove these odor-causing contaminants, leaving your home or office with fresh, clean air. The use of specialized cleaning agents and deodorizing treatments ensures that your AC unit remains free from bad smells.

8. Compliance with Warranty Requirements

Many air conditioning manufacturers require regular maintenance as part of their warranty terms. Failing to schedule professional cleaning and maintenance may void your warranty, leaving you responsible for expensive repairs or replacements. By using professional Aircon Cleaning Services, you can ensure compliance with warranty conditions and protect your investment.

9. Environmentally Friendly Cleaning Methods

Professional Aircon Cleaning Services use eco-friendly cleaning solutions that are safe for both humans and the environment. Unlike DIY cleaning methods that often involve harsh chemicals, professional technicians use non-toxic and biodegradable cleaning agents to remove dirt and bacteria. This ensures a healthier living space without harming the environment.

10. Expertise and Proper Equipment

Cleaning an air conditioner requires knowledge and specialized tools. Professional technicians are trained to handle different types of AC units and use advanced equipment to clean them thoroughly. DIY cleaning may not reach deep-seated dirt and grime, whereas professionals use high-pressure cleaning techniques, steam cleaning, and antibacterial treatments for a more effective and safe cleaning process.
