At this point, the mention of her departure and their lack of...focus...on it, is becoming more understandable. It doesn't please her, it never could, stomach twisting as her heart crawls up her throat- but it doesn't make her flinch.
But Mikaela is quick to forget her own issues as Optimus continues.
"The moon?" she asks, a little blankly, before everything just stops.
"-Ironhide?"
It comes out as a shocked cry, pliers dropping from nerveless fingers.
They'd survived the ship explosion, he should have been fine; nothing was supposed to happen to them after she left-!
And it is just a little too much. It really was good foresight that Optimus' hand is there, because her grip goes briefly slack with horror and the grease on her gloves- she slides down a good four feet of plating with a cry.
Trying to remember all the things she SHOULDN'T know is a pain lol
