The wall looks solid. Gently curved, metallic, and a sort of pale bronze colour and very solid. Then a ripple appears on its surface, like someone had dropped a stone in a calm pool. This metallic pool, however, distinctly defies gravity, the rippling wall remaining quite vertical despite its increasing liquid-looking state.

Suddenly something breaches the surface of the wall and with it comes a gush of actual liquid, thick and green, spilling down the wall and out across the similarly metallic floor. The wall begins to ripple more fervently, and in great heaves a blue-and-silver figure is forced from its confines to finally collapse onto the ground. Gradually the ripples cease, the wall returning to its original solid state.

For a long moment the figure lies motionless. Suddenly he bursts into motion as if awakened from a nightmare, pushing up onto his hands and knees with a terrified gasp. He had been dreaming, hadn't he? Strange unsettling dreams that had seemed to last forever, but now he's finally awake...

Or is he?

Looking up, Mayday's jaw drops open as he surveys the strange room he finds himself in. Big doesn't even begin to describe it. The ceiling stretches up into a massive oblong dome, the far reaches of it almost lost in the haze of thin atmosphere. He's definitely not on their ship anymore, because he's pretty sure they could fit the entire ship into this single room.

He's woken up in a strange place with no knowledge of how he got there. Again.

He's all alone. Again.

And he's... he's covered in thick green goo.

Mayday begins to scream.

Breakaway dreams of flying. Flying through the air, through clouds, among the stars. Just flying.

Then he's suddenly ejected from a wall, covered in green slime. He rises to his feet, wiping his hands on his nosecone and shaking them to try and dislodge the goo, He looks around, deploying his minigun just in case as he turns to look at the wall, running his hand along it to test its solidity.

The disorientation, the slime, this whole experience brings back memories of his hatching. The only thing it's missing is an egg pod instead of a wall and Demolishor's ugly mug looming over him.

Then the screaming starts. Either someone's wringing out a small animal with heavy machinery or . . . "Mayday!" he calls out, trying to run toward the sound, slipping and falling because of the slime coating his feet. He curses, managing to clamber back upright and ignite his jet engine, hovering into the air and flying toward where he hopes the smaller Autobot is.

Mayday's mouth snaps shut at the familiar sound of jet engines, eyes darting around wildly for the source of the sound. Either it's a Decepticon and he promptly starts panicking harder, or-

"Breakaway!" he practically squeals in relief, and tries to scramble to his feet to run towards his hovering friend. Instead, his feet slip in the goo and he pinwheels comically for awhile before landing flat on his face.

Whining ensues.

"Mayday," Breakaway says more quietly as he spots the smaller 'bot, hovering in the air and reaching down to pick him up out of the slime, moving backwards to set him on the ground and then land himself. "Do you have any idea what's going on here? This doesn't look like something the 'Cons would have the resources to put together."

Mayday dangles awkwardly in Breakaway's grip for a moment, like a soaked kitten, before he's set back on his feet. As soon as Breakaway touches down, he tosses himself at his friend and gives him a slightly desperate hug.

"I honestly have no idea and I thought maybe I was alone for awhile but you're here and I'm really glad I'm not here by myself and I'm pretty sure I just came out of a wall-!"
