In front of him, hanging in the air, was the body of Sentinel Prime.
He had left it paralyzed after he had isolated the central processing system that had been cyber-infiltrated by NOVA, or by some program that could channel her.

He wasn't talking to NOVA, of course.
She couldn't hear him.
He was talking to the original owner of the body inside the only organic component of the cyborg body.
The brain.
The actual Sentinel Prime.
