With the power fluctuating, Gigatron and 2 other Predacons (Strife and Bushwhack) actually started getting the doors open!

Just as soon as any of them could see through the crack, Nautica pressed the button and blew the door!

It was chaos- with the three combat bots against the door like they were, they took a heavy hit from the force from the explosion, but with the doors partially opened, much of it was also taken by the compartment frame the doors opened into, meaning the force did little more than knock them on their backs.

In the hall, Wingwraith (safe from the impact, but shaken by the incident) screamed, "Get up, you fools! Attack, attack!"

A wild charge was initiated, followed by a mad struggle, bots fighting bots, consoles got damaged, when suddenly something happened-

A light burst forth in the middle of the bridge, but with no visible source; this wasn't coming from anything on the ship. It came down, through the ceiling, bringing with it some kind of floating head. It was silvery white, and superficially resembled a human skull, but one large cavity where eye sockets should be, with two motes of light for eyes, and some kind of tendrils or strands waving, flowing from the back of it. It was easily the size of any bot in the room.

It spoke up, echoing in the air, but also possibly in their minds? "Ah, I see... Cybertronians... What serendipity; of course, it would be [i]your kind[/i] that would do something to draw attention to yourselves... So be it. Let the experiment begin."

In a bright flash, it was gone. At the same time, some kind of anomaly, or "wormhole", opened up, quickly pulling the ship in! In an instant, it was like they'd been thrown from a slingshot, the ship tumbling end-over-end, until it suddenly stopped, then proceeding to crawl along as though it had merely been adrift the whole time...
