Prologue

Journal entry user 19:89 Entry user; Optimus Prime, time: 5 hours after crash Landed on an unknown world with a scatter natural satellite; Location: unknown

We made it through, but not without major of casualties, however not as severe as we thought. The battle was fierce, as I walk to the damage halls of the Ark, I see Autobots troops or Auto troopers that are the direct contrast to the Vehicons troopers that make up for the bulk of the Decepticons armies. Standing up limply, as some are permanently offline, some in stasis, many missing a limb or more and while others are picking up their fallen comrades.

As I continue to walk to the medical center of the Ark, I can't help but to feel guilty, that many of my soldiers look upon me with optics looking see in relief, I was called to meet with Ratchet in the medical ward to discussed of matters that revolves about the state of ship and its crews, while I was walking, I notices that many of the interior and hulls of the Ark was severely damage during the battle with the Decepticons warship as well as the damage we received when we crashed landed here. The Ark is a city sizes ship and walking within it will take a several hours though I'll be faster if you're in vehicle mode. I see wires pieces of metals and bodies of my soldiers lay around the halls and hulls of the entire ship.

I finally made it to the medical ward I see the protectbots, many medics, field medics and medic bots tends to the wounded, as I see Jetfire, with Red Alert, tending his wounds while reattaching his one of his legs, The protectbots with some of the Rust Renegades, and the majority of the Dinobots, then finally I spotted Ratchet tend with two Dinobots one is which their leader himself, Grimlock and the other his younger spark-twin sister Slash, I was stared down by Grimlock as he wasn't happy to see me, "well, look who here to grace us with his presence, nice going Prime."

He said in his bitter gruff voice Slash however despite her teammates and her older twin brother have hold a resentment toward me, respect my authority even more so than Grimlock and a majority of the Dinobots as she reprimanded him "Grimlock, could you stopped it wasn't Optimus's fault" said Slash, Ratchet also take her side of the argument "she right it's no one's fault." Grimlock huff in irritation, however he reluctantly backs down. "Fine," irritated. Then Ratchet called to another medical bot to finish his work with Grimlock and Slash.

Then my old friend pulled me to the side and whisper "Optimus, we need to start considering one of our Contingency plans. The ship has suffered severe heavy damages, and according to Teletraan-1 we lost almost half our original bulk of Soldiers we once have 3,242,970 Autobots now nearly 2,010,197 Autobots and the damages will take several hundreds of years to repair" I knew what he's referring too but I also knew this one is a risk that I pray not to take. However, going to have to asked to confirm this. "What are suggesting old friend?" I asked Ratchet sighed "We must initiate Plan Zero. "

In that instant knew what Plan Zero is. We made this protocol right before the evaluation from Cybertron that me and the handful of my closet allies, oldest of friends as well as my lieutenants have come up with. It's a Contingency plan in case we crashed landed on a barren or unknown hostile world.

There are three phases that ensured our survival; Phase one Rejuvenate, Phase two repaired and Phase three preservations.

The first Rejuvenate, it is where we with initiates two experimentally project that Preceptor and his science division made. The first is Project Rejuvenation, Preceptor and the other Autobots scientists created a large swarms of tiny repair Nanites called Nanobots that repairs the damage done to the Soldiers and other Autobots this and fully repaired the Autobots in their stasis pods that Preceptor and the Scientists will use the machinery to inject the Nanobots into the stasis pods that will repaired the Autobots.

We then will initiate Project Revitalization that when we used many repaired drones to repair the damage done to the ship that will activate in virtually indestructible crates. That can only be open by Preceptor in a certain decrypted codes they could repair the ship. However, these Nanobots are only prototypes, and they were never tested as we were forced to leave Cybertron in a rush. As well as we don't know how long it will take for the Repair drones to repair "The Ark."

I never thought we could use this protocol in such a drastic time, but to ensure our people's survival as well as to continuing our fight against the Decepticons and to retrieve the All-Spark so we may restore our home, Cybertron. Then we must take these drastic measures to insure of our survival.

The meeting took place in the meeting room, while the rest of the crew who were being Patch up or unable to make it to the meeting watch from the screens all over the ship thanks to Teletran-1, many in the Meeting room were Auto troopers, as well as the Wreckers, Rust Renegades, Elite Guards, Dinobots, and many more of the crew.

"Autobots, I conclude that in order for our survival and to once again take the fight to the Decepticons as well as reclaiming the All-Spark we need to proceed with a Contingency plan that I dare hesitate to initiate. However, if we need to survive, we must initiate Plan Zero." The other Autobots mumble among themselves, "it a Contingency plan that only I and a few of my closet lieutenants knew of but now I shared it with of you now." As I explained the three phased and the two first projects that can repaired the Autobots troops and the Ark. They were relived until I mentioned that they were untested, and we don't know how long until the repair is done or if we even wake up in stasis not only that it will take a few thousands of years for the ship to be fully repaired.

Grimlock and the Dinobots speak out in outrage Which I foreseen that; this would happen.

"What in Primus name, do you expect us to do prime you want us to spend an eternity in stasis in this who what world we are on right now. Have lost your gasket or something." The word cut deep in my mind I know and understand Grimlock's outrage, but it is the only chance we got. "I understand your anger, Grimlock but we don't have any options we have lost a lot of Energon, and we have to consider that once the repair is done, we can search for Energon on this planet. However, don't have enough for the ship and we have wounded, and it is best we repair our wounds and live to fight another day or at least be good enough shape to fight against Megatron if we leave this planet the Energon that we have left will leak and we'll be stranded in the cosmos and it will alert the Decepticons to us we already lost almost half the crew but Megatron may still have at least more troops then we do currently. Most we think while we still live." Grimlock huff in anger but His twin sister Slash stopped him before he could continue the arguments and shoot a gestured that cause Grimlock to reluctantly to back down.

I nodded a silently thanks to Slash. Who responded back with a nod of her own.

I understand that like Grimlock, many of you believe there might another way I which it would be so. However, if anyone have a better idea then your than welcome to come up and speak to me, to the rest of the crew as well as the lieutenants. If not, then there's no other options but to be reawaken when the repair bots are done."

Many Autobots were both look in shock and despair as well as hopelessness. I can't not blame them after all of the pain and torment that we all suffer from fighting the Decepticons on Cybertron for Millions of years. Only to be forced to Evacuate from our home planet our entire race so they could live. When Megatron poison the planet core causing the core to shut down and dooming Cybertron forever.

They all mumble and some are in panic. "Autobots we all been through enough of pain and suffering during our long and painful war against Megatron, some of us even more so than the rest, but if we are to survived, then we must take this chance so we could resume our search for the All-Spark, so that we can rebuild our home no matter how long it will take we have to Faith that we could continue the fight against the Decepticons and hopefully go back home someday. we must live so for that to happen no matter the cost." The Autobots were not convinced but it was enough for them (or most of them) to agree on this. "This meeting adjourned then. Get to the pod chambers and reported to Preceptor and the other scientists Autobots while they prep the stasis pods all of you remember, till all are one."

The Autobots in the meeting room beginning to leave and I beginning to question my decision that what I made, where was the right decision as Grimlock point correctly that it be Eternity if the repair bots do their jobs but we don't know how long it will take until we awaken from stasis.

As the last of the Autobots went to their pods my friend Preceptor came to me as we were about to enter our stasis pods "Optimus, we have successfully managed to get all the Autobots troops to the pods though there were some of them who threatened to leave the Autobots and find a way to get off this planet. However, we do manage to convince them otherwise. However, I must agree somewhat of the other bots including Grimlock and the Dinobots that this is suicide, and we might be asleep for Eons maybe even more if we do this now."

This was the question I asked myself so I asked Preceptor this "do believe we made the right decision do believe that we can be awaken?" Preceptor look in deep thoughts then he answers, "it was your idea or rather our idea that we must initiate such a drastic plan in order for our survival, that is up to you to decide Optimus." I was in deep thoughts did you I make a necessary call or did I've doom us all.

I do not know but one thing is certain we must survive no matter want I can do is have fate. "I can agree with them as well my old friend but If we are to survive must have faith in the matrix that we made the right decision to initiate this plan. Regardless we must do what is right for our troops it all we can do to make sure we can survive and even fight against Megatron someday.

Preceptor nodded "then I hope to see you again old friend, when the time comes at least." I nodded at him "till all are one my friend." As we say our goodbyes until the time, we meet each other again.

I enter my pods and as such I remember one thing from Alpha Trion said before we left 'that no matter what there will always be hope" and I must have faith that we will survive continue our fight against Megatron as fate rarely come upon us now of our choosing.' As I think about it the pod seal closes and close my optics and pray to Primus that will survive and return home to Cybertron someday.
