* **Optimus Prime** - (Walks into the Bridge of the Ark, standing next to Prowl) What's the status on the Ark's repairs?
* **Prowl** - Repairs are going well, Sir. But I've gained word from Ratchet on Scoops condition. He's worsened. It will be hard to repair him, even with the equipment we have at hand.
* **Optimus Prime** - Tell ratchet to fix Scoop up as best as he can with the equipment he has. If that doesn't work, our injured friend will have to return to stasis.
* **Prowl** - I'll let him know immediately. (Prowl walks out of the Bridge, leaving Optimus alone)
* **Optimus Prime** - (Optimus walks over to Teletraan 1. His leg weaken, causing him to strain) What's happening?
* **Udonna** - [Outside. We have much to discuss.]
* **Optimus Prime** - (Released from his weakened state, Optimus travels outside of the Ark where he comes across an overgrown path) Where are you?
* **Udonna** - [Follow the path]
* **Optimus Prime** - (optimus activates his Energon Swords, cutting his way through the trees. Retracting his Swords, he comes face-to-face with a human like figure) Who are you?
* **Udonna** - My name is Udonna, I'm the protector of these Woods.
* **Optimus Prime** - How did you communicate with me?
* **Udonna** - Magic.
* **Optimus Prime** - (A look of Disbelief appears on Optimus's face) I find that hard to believe. But you humans are full of surprises.
* **Udonna** - While I may look human, I defiantly aren't one. Like you, I travelled to this world from my own.
* **Optimus Prime** - What are you then, if you aren't human?
* **Udonna** - If I was to tell you, my enemies will be able to find me.
* **Optimus Prime** - That is understandable. You still need to explain to me how you used "Magic" to communicate with me in the Ark.
* **Udonna** - It wasn't hard. Magic works on all lifeforms that contain a soul. Or as your kind call them, Sparks. I merely used yours because it was the brightest.
* **Optimus Prime** - Is that how you found me? You located my Spark using Magic?
* **Udonna** - I've known about your presence here for the last 50 years. Who do you think hid you from the humans.
* **Optimus Prime** - You hid us in that mountain?
* **Udonna** - To protect you and the people of this world.
* **Optimus Prime** - What from?
* **Udonna** - Each other. This world wasn't ready for what the universe had in store. And what would stop them from weaponizing your technology, especially at the rate they were going.
* **Optimus Prime** - Then how did Spike manage to reawaken us?
* **Udonna** - He saw the best and worst that mankind had to offer, he was a soldier, and a man at peace.
* **Optimus Prime** - (Gets on one knee so he can get a closer look at Udonna) Have we met before?
* **Udonna** - Possibly, Optimus.
* **Optimus Prime** - Why did you call me out here?
* **Udonna** - So I could see you in person. And to welcome you to this Planet.
* **Optimus Prime** - There's another reason, isn't there?
* **Udonna** - These woods are full of surprises. I'd be careful where you step. (Udonna starts walking away)
* **Optimus Prime** - (Optimus stands back up) Where do I go if I want to speak to you again?
* **Udonna** - Here is fine. Till we meet again.
* **Optimus Prime** - Likewise. (A look of realisation comes across Optimus's face) Old friend.
* Udonna - (A smile appears on Udonna's face)
