Transcript (excerpt, 3.2 minutes)
Orion Pax: “…This ship is vast… but unfamiliar. Where am I?”
Megatron: “You stand upon the bridge of the Nemesis, flagship of the Decepticons. And you, Orion, are home.”
Orion: “…Decepticons. Yes… you told me of them. You told me I was one of you.”
Megatron: “More than that. You are my most trusted comrade. My equal. My… friend.”
[2.6 seconds silence. Background hum registers, Megatron’s field spikes.]
Orion Pax: (voice light, almost teasing) “…Trusted… equal… friend. You make it sound like we weren't bonded.”
[Static interference. Audio spike: Megatron’s field destabilizes briefly.]
Observation: Megatron, deceptive. Bond re-forged? Or manipulation? Unclear. …Monitoring continues.
