Solus wakes up years after her death. Alone, and lost, she seeks a way to make it back to Cybertron to meet up with her siblings. Only to find the planet in ruins, she looks for clues of were to look for them and what happened to her home planet.

1. Onlined

She onlined her optics slowly, the pale blue light filling the small space around her. It was dark. And she had helm hurt like the pit. Everything hurt. What had happened? Memories of what seemed like moments prior filled her processor, as she opened her optics wider in realization.

She had offlined.

Panic began to set in rapidly. Where were her other sibling? Were they alright? Where was she? As she moved her arms, which creaked at the movement, she found herself to be in a box. The top shifting slightly as she pushed up on it. With as much strength as she could muster she attempted to push the top off completely. only getting it 1/4 off.

From the opening she could see the outside room. Empty and dark, just as the box. She tried to contact her siblings but to no avail. She was on her own for now. So once again she attempted to get the top off, this time creating a large enough gap to escape through.

She stood up carefully, leaning on the side of the box. Her joints groaned in protest under her own weight. Had she had her forge she could have fixed her joints, but for now she would have to deal with the problem. Once she was sure she could handle walking she made her way outside of the room. cringing in pain with every step.

As she stepped outside into the vacuum of space she found she had been placed on an asteroid. She checked her sensors in the chance her sensors could tell her where she was, or how to get back.

Nothing.

The only thing to show up was a nearby machine. Large, and circular, unlike anything she had ever seen or built. What could it even do? She circled it curiously. It was well built, yes, but it could have been done neater. Nexus probably made it. It was when she tried to go through it that it stared up. She jumped back in alarm as it glowed blue and green. Reaching her servo out cautiously to touch the surface, finding that she could walk through it. She stood still looking at it, still not knowing where it may lead. But she needed to go home, and if she had any way of getting there, this would be it. So slowly she walked through, as the light faded behind her.
