Megatron's reaction to the situation:

For some reason, Soundwave is unable to activate the ground bridge and send Arcee off the ship. She manages to reach Optimus. 

Unfortunately, he doesn’t remember her, but he’s willing to listen, once he sees Megatron, Soundwave, and the other 'Cons from his office. 

Arcee doesn’t quite manage to convince him, but he doesn’t fully trust Megatron either. Mentioning Ratchet helps turn things around. 

Orion doesn't quite believe the stories about the wicked warlord. When Arcee hears what Megatron said about Ratchet, she laughs heartily and if she ever escapes the Nemesis, she’ll never let Ratchet live it down.

Arcee manages to convince Orion to trust her, but then Soundwave who’s been watching them drops in, forcing them to flee. Turns out the ventilation system on the Nemesis is just barely large enough to fit a bot of Optimus's size. Lucky break for them. Now the challenge is escaping the situation and returning to base.

Problem is, Megatron has ordered the Nemesis up almost into Earth's atmosphere, so jumping out isn't an option. Their best bet is the ground bridge, but it’s heavily guarded. Creating a diversion might work, but they'd need supplies first and those still have to be found.

For now, their new residence is the walls of the Decepticon warship. Weirdly absurd. Kind of amusing. Optimus, still calling himself Orion, can pull off weird stuff others would call miraculous.

For example, he speaks to the walls of the Nemesis, and they purr in response. Somehow, he can rearrange corridors and walls, creating new tunnels and hidden paths. Thanks to that, they manage to build a decent hideout and even swipe some tech they might use to contact their allies. Risky, though.

They even steal energon and fuel up nicely. Arcee isn't quite sure how to feel about this version of their leader. Part of her, surprisingly, feels hurt — especially when Optimus looks at her and doesn’t recognize her. It’s scary to think he might never remember her, or any of them. Worse still is wondering how that could affect the course of the war.

On the other hand, Orion was much wilder and more cheerful. He was almost as chatty as Cliff, though he also spent long stretches just sitting in silence just like Optimus. It seemed that melancholy always surrounded their glorious leader. As mentioned, he did weird stuff. But she figured that was just Optimus’s thing. Still, talking to the ship, climbing on ceilings like an Insecticon, and biting anyone who happened to cross his path, now that was new.

One very positive side of this whole situation: Arachnid is now locked up on the same ship with her. And Arcee has the upper hand.

Orion didn’t seem too concerned about the situation. Or at least that’s what he kept telling himself. But it was all a bit much: the amnesia, Megatron, Ratchet. And now he’s a Prime. And Unicron is real.

Right now, he’s sitting in the depths of a slumbering titan with his new friend — Arcee — hiding from his former friend. What a strange life. At least Arcee’s a good roommate, and the Nemesis is a decent conversationalist, though a bit aggressive and sad. Maybe he and Arcee would get along after all.

And the bonus to all this? During one of their raids, they managed to steal Iacon’s database and wipe it from the Nemesis’s systems. Now Orion spends half his time digging through it. And oh, the things he’s found. Sometimes, Arcee catches him staring into space with a slightly wicked smile.

Meanwhile, the Decepticons are going through absolutely wild shit. The walls are shifting, a Prime is wandering through the innards of their ship along with one of his lackeys. It’s unsettling. Plus, everyone’s pretty sure they’re stealing food.

It’s become normal for bots to head to the armory and end up at Knock Out’s medbay. Or for Lord Megatron to somehow arrive at the storage bay instead of the command bridge. At first, no one admitted there was a problem —  they all thought it was just them getting lost. But eventually, there were too many cases, and most finally realized the issue was with the ship itself, not the crew.

But it was a bit too late. Megatron was beyond furious. During one of his tantrums, he started firing at the walls, yelling at Orion to stop acting like a cockroach and crawl out.

Rumors have begun to spread throughout the ship that it’s not just those two in the walls — there’s some kind of creature that once slept, but has now awakened and hunts lone Decepticons in the dark corners of the Nemesis.

At first, everyone thought it was Arachnid. Lately, the spider-bot had been in far too good a mood. She was delighted that Arcee was trapped, and now it was only a matter of time before she found her and ripped that pretty helmet right off her frame. It would be the start of a new collection and its crown jewel.

The only one keeping a shred of composure is Soundwave. He’s genuinely trying to make sense of the situation and do something about it. Unfortunately, the Nemesis is slipping further out of control, and even his efforts aren’t enough.

Some TFP characters and my oc's! ^^
