Shockwave is beside himself. Not literally (not yet, at any rate), but certainly emotionally - he's gone from seconds away from undergoing Shadowplay to this. Cybertron. Cybertron destroyed. All of his work, everything he's done to protect his planet and this is what it has to show for it? No, there has to be something... anything... Shockwave refuses to accept this as final. As unfixable.

So he follows his feet once he's managed to exert a small amount of control over his emotions, thoughts elsewhere. Something must have intervened. And that something brought him to this Cybertron, and would have the power to send him back. Who is he to argue with the force that's pulling him along if it can do all of that?

Finding the terminal at the end of the trail is, suffice to say, a let down. Undaunted (and desperate to make some sense of at least one thing on this Cybertron), Shockwave runs his hands over it - looking for a way to turn it on or input some sort of command or something.

It's infuriating, and his expression - while still curious - grows more and more frustrated.
