[Well someone else has been affected by being turned completely inorganic. Not that she's complaining too much. Her only complaint is that she's too small but nothing can be done about that in this city.]

This shouldn't happen as much as it does. It never last and it's never fair. [A sigh...at least what can best be described as a sigh from something with no lung.]

I wonder, how many have been affected by this? How many have suddenly found themselves inorganic. So far I've counted four, including myself. Perhaps I've missed a few?

I suppose it doesn't matter. It's only a matter of time before we find ourselves back in those terrible squishy bodies.

[In the first and only indication since Monday's robopocalypse that Sentinel is not, in fact, dead, BA receives a signal from his comm. It's a voice post, but all it contains is a bunch of dead air...and maybe the faint click of somebody's vocalizer stalling out. He literally has no words for this.]

[And the only reply from her is to stare at her comm in silence for a few moments before she mutters something along the lines of "Fine, don't talk." before she throws it across the room.]

[Winces at the sound of comm hitting wall. Okay, that did not go well. But still. He can't let this go. Not now.]

I'd...almost forgotten how beautiful you were.

[There's some rustling as she digs out her comm from where it landed. Then silence for a few moments.]

...It won't last.

We don't know that. It was intended to be permanent this time.

[There's nothing but silence as she lets this sink in.]

Wait...intended...

You're working with Starscream? You're working with Starscream?! What the frag is wrong wrong with you?! Don't you kno- Why woul-

WHY?! [Better explain yourself damn fast Sentinel.]

Would you calm down? It's not like that! I'm the one who stopped him once I found out what he was really planning to do...

So he just told you that this is supposed to be permanent?

That's how it was supposed to be. It was supposed to turn every Cybertronian in the City back into an inorganic form, permanently. Of course, Starscream being Starscream, he rigged it to change the humans and create an army of robot drones so he could take over. I found out that's what he was really trying to do and put a stop to it. But I guess some of it worked anyway.

[Sounding a bit calmer now, although still skeptical.]

I see.

And if it worked for you...well, then it was all worth it. I know this is what you wanted.

No. What I want is to be in my own shell. Not a miniature version of it.

That's a little ungrateful, don't you think? It may not be exact, but it's the best we could do.

I, for one, feel a whole lot better about the change.

The best we could do?

Er...well, yes.

And who is we?

Well, you know...there were some other people involved...

And who were the others?

[Not gonna say Starscream, nope. Although it is kind of the obvious answer.] Why is it so important?

So you are working with him?

Not like that! He was the one with the technology, it was the only way...

[She lets out an angry noise.] That doesn't change the fact you were working with him!

All right, I was! But I did it for the sake of the Autobots...I did it for you.

Working with Starscream for the Autobots? For me? Did you ever stop to think that maybe we would see this as a betrayal? That I would see it as a betrayal?

Do you know what he's done?! Do you even care?

Of course I care! I know exactly what he's done! And believe it or not, not all of it was bad. What we had planned was for the good of every Cybertronian in this city, before he went and screwed it up. We aren't supposed to be organic! Isn't that worth bending the rules for? To make things right again?

You've been trying for ages to get your inorganic body back. You can't tell me it's not what you wanted.

[There's dead air for a few moments followed by some very angry curses in Cybertronian before the comm goes silent. Looks like she's done talking.]

Blackarachnia...don't do this. Please, I--
