"Knockout, Breakdown," She finally speaks after being curled on Breakdown's lap for the last couple of megacycles.
"Are you feeling better yet?" Knockout unfolds his arms and scans her for the tenth time with the scanner. He probably doesn't get a full reading with how she's sitting sideways with her head boxed between Breakdown's chest angle and her knees. That could be why he keeps trying.
"Physically, I'm fine."
The mechaniods exchange concerned glances.
"I need you two to do me a favor and I need you to promise you'll do it."
"What is it?" Breakdown asks softly.
"Lock me inside a stasis pod, with Istozine, and bury me inside the energon storage.

"So I don't kill you if Unicron awakens."
"You think he's real?"
"I'm real. Do you need proof that he is too?"
Breakdown's smile at Knockout is flat, "She's got you there."

Knockout reflects hearing about how Sonica "went crazy" and "almost attacked Megatron". When he got there, Sonica was the darkest he'd seen her. Her usual light and sass seemed worlds away from the empty but wrathful figure he escorted to the medical wing.
"If we do this," he begins, "do you plan on waking back up?"
"Yes." She almost tries a smile, "Even if Unicron wakes."
Breakdown and Knockout's eyes meet and a silent conversation takes place before Breakdown nods.
"We'll do it, if you feel safer that way."
Her spark aches with pained gratitude, "Thank you..."
