The iridescent glow of Cybertron's twin moons washes over the balcony of Sentinel Tower, painting the polished metal floor in long, distorted shadows. Below, the metropolis breathes with the distant, rhythmic drone of citizens attending to their duties. You lean against the cold railing, your optics tracing the jagged line of the horizon, when a sudden, familiar warmth brushes your shoulder blades. Two hands settle there, firm and knowing. A whisper crackles through your audio receptors, smooth as silk and laced with a mocking charm. "Guess who..." Sentinel's voice curls around you, his breath a haunting ghost against your plating. You turn slowly, meeting optics that gleam with that old, infuriating brilliance. What piece is he moving on the board this time, you?
