WHO: Knock Out, Jane, BABY JEDI CYBERTRONIANS
WHERE: The Stanix Hot Spot, Cybertron
WHEN: Following Knock Out's message to Jane about the imminent emergence of the new protoforms
WHAT: The newsparks are about to emerge! Jane gets to meet her alien children for the first time, and Cybertron has its first natural sparklings in over four millions years.
WARNINGS: TBD



The monumental importance of this event couldn't be overstated. When the Well had gone dark after the ejection of the Allspark into deep space eons ago, it had snuffed out the colony worlds' Wells at the same time. It had, at the time, effectively been a death sentence for their species. Once the supply pre-harvested sparks had been fought over and claimed by each side, resulting in the MTO and Vehicon programs, new Cybertronian life had just... stopped happening. And it had stayed that way for the entirety of the war, as the Autobots and Decepticons slaughtered each other, as the ever-dwindling number of Neutrals were pushed deeper and deeper toward the fridges of the universe to try and escape the war's effects.

And even with the war declared over and the Allspark returned to the Well, there had been so many — Knock Out among them — who'd despaired to think their broken, ravaged world would ever support the creation of new sparks again.

Knock Out finished the text conversation with Jane, but it was several more moments before he could summon the willpower to rise from the chair he'd sunk into hours ago. His habsuite was quiet, most of the lighting dimmed, and this far outside Iacon's city center, only the barest trace of construction sounds filtered through the vents. The hour was late, well into the night cycle, only a few hours off of sunrise.

His spark throbbed, painful and arrhythmic, like a wounded thing trying to escape his body. Alerts and indicators, some critical, peppered his HUD. Damaged orbit, the clinical part of his mind supplied, medic protocols running hot. A severed bond is a type of spark trauma.

But the academic knowledge didn't lessen the sensation of it. Had Cybertronians needed to breathe, Knock Out was not sure he'd have been able to through the burn of it. With unsteady steps he pushed himself toward the entryway where his field kit waited, rifling through it until he pulled out a now-familiar green vial and an injection mechanism.
