Our voyages were fun, dangerous, and made us stronger. We learned much from the many planets we explored in our days, but none was as memorable as Earth.
It was a long-term project, we decided, for the blue planet was a long way away from Cybertron.
And so, we flew.

As we came close to the planet, I detected no intelligent life on the planet. Neither did Starscream, he said to me.
“We better head back.”
I heard the disappointment in his voice. He had found this planet himself from the observatory back home, and he had been sure there had been life on it. And we had come all this way …
“Lets go down, Starscream.” I radioed to him. “There could be something there even so.”
He agreed.
We broke though the atmosphere, feeling it burn, but we were used to it by now. I couldn’t help but keep an eye on Starscream, for he was more vulnerable than I was to a shutdown, as he was not designed for space flight.
But he was fine. We flew over the primitive world, noting that it was organic. But then, as we flew over the north polar cap, was when danger struck.
A snowstorm.
It came up so sudden I didn’t have time to warn my companion about it. We battled the winds, but they were far too strong for the both of us. I saw Starscream get blown away with a shrill scream, and I tried to call out to him. But it was no use. I couldn’t see where I was going … the snow was too much.
And then … everything went white …

<MEMORY ENDED>

I will show you more … of what happened when I awoke …but it is too terrible for even me … the person who has to remember it. So I will tell you now.
I woke to find myself seeing a world many millions of years later, and Starscream had changed. He was no longer the pyramid jet I remembered, and he no longer looked so happy … no. He was cold. Cold and hard as diamond now.
I did not understand. How could I? I had not been awake for millions of years to see the changes. But one thing was certain. He had to leave his new leader Megatron. Yes, he had to go.
And he did.
Eventually, he gathered the courage to leave, and I could not have been prouder of him. After many battles with his mind and heart, he came though. Sure, he was still a Decepticon, but he made the time to see me … and be who he once was.

Yes … there is one more thing I want to show you …
