While Megatron was fuming about his loss and Starscream was somewhere is space heading for earth, Optimus was helping his son Lancex into the med bay. Lancex didn't say it, but he was glad he had found at least one of his parents. And just after thinking that, the father son duo found themselves in the med bay. Arcee saw the pair and went to them. "Which one of the two of you am I checking over now?" She asked.

"Lancex. He just returned from being captured by Megatron. He needs to be scanned to make sure Megatron didn't add or subtract anything from him" Optimus clearly explained.

Arcee then realized that this was no drill. "Yes, sir" she replied and she got down to work scanning the younger bot over.

Meanwhile, Jetfire, Mirage, and Landmine were chatting and trying to brainstorm how to win over Lancex. They had gone through many ideas, some serious and some silly but none seemed appropriate. "You know, maybe we should just talk to him, get to know him" Landmine offered up, seeing as they were spinning their wheels but going nowhere.

Jetfire and Mirage thought about it. "You know, that actually sounds like the best idea of all the ideas we have had" Jetfire answered and Mirage concurred. It really was a good idea, so simple yet so direct and to the point. They all agreed that when they had a chance, they would just take time to get to know him.

Meanwhile, back in the med bay, Arcee found that Megatron had added nor taken anything from Lancex's systems. The only change was that Lancex had picked up a new weapons from somewhere but otherwise, all was as it should be. Optimus and Lancex were relieved. They left the med bay and headed for Optimus' office. Well, they tried to, but Lancex indicated that he was very tired and need recharge. Optimus nodded, and headed for his own personal quarters. He let few if any bots into it, but Lancex was an exception.

Lancex was stunned by his father's quarters, but he was too tired to show it. Optimus led the tired bot to a spare recharge berth Optimus had in his room. Lancex just about crashed down onto the recharge berth. Optimus made sure Lancex was safely on the berth and then watched as Lancex was soon deep in recharge. Optimus headed back to his office, knowing that Lancex would be able to safely recharge in the Prime's quarters. Optimus hoped he could make Megatron pay for this, but only time would tell.
