Elsewhere, Perceptor headed to Jack's lab. If what Aquaformer said was true, there was no time to lose. He made his way, hoping that nothing injured or harmed him, as one never knew in Jack's lab.
Once at the lab, Perceptor entered into the small space and was stunned to find it empty. "Is anyone in here?" Perceptor asked, his normal voice booming to the shrunken Wheeljack.
"I'm here" came a small sounding voice. Perceptor looked around the room and soon found Wheeljack in much the same predicament as the Prime was reportedly in. Perceptor reached down to pick up the small inventor before asking what happened. "Well, this machine I just made was supposed to change raw energon to energon we can consume, but that is not the result we got."
Perceptor nodded and soon began to work on the strange device, hoping that no other device randomly went off and caused issues.
Meanwhile, back with Optimus and Aquaformer, Optimus rested in the small bed like device that Aquaformer had placed him in. Even with her obviously upset, she still took great care to make sure he was safe. Optimus didn't sleep, but merely rested. He had a lot on his mind. And being this size didn't help anything. He was still reeling in a bit of shock at the fact that Aquaformer wasn't mad about what had happened to him but that he had failed to communicate a change in plans. He was starting to realize something – her love language was different from his. Words mattered to her, much more than gifts. Time spent with her mattered to her more than gifts. He would have to talk to her, once she woke up.
Meanwhile, Perceptor was finishing up fix the machine that had gone wild. He checked it over and found that Jack hadn't invented an energon converter but something else, a machine that changed an object into a similar object but of another species or so it seemed. "What on Cybertron did you invent? It surely isn't an energon converter" Perceptor stated.
"Are you sure it didn't just not work right?" Jack asked in his tiny, young human like voice.
"It worked exactly how it was supposed to for the result you got" Perceptor stated.
"Fine. So how do we fix us?" Jack asked.
"I am still trying to figure that part out" Perceprtor stated, studying the machine. Something had to work to reverse this, as no matter what Jack created, there was always a reverse mechanism, the question was what was it and could it be found before this possibly became permanent.
